Osimhen is the quintessential team player!!

TheGoodJoe:
We had all it took to wash, rinse and spread the Algerians. Still a good game from us.

DrYa:
I dey watch and re watch that oshimen header...
O badt gan..

TheGoodJoe:
Even though we won, I still feel a pinch of sadness because we had the arsenal to demolish the Algerians. It is clear that Chelle sees this as the business end of the tournament and does not want to make unnecessary risks.

Well managed game by the Boss.

TheSuperNerd:
He is a CB.

jihday:
I hope he’s a good player, we need to phase out Ajayi and Awaziem

Starboytwo:
Make una rest ooo… I plead with una…

It’s all settled… let’s all calm pls…

Osimhen is critical to our Nation…

A Yoruba proverb goes thus

“A child will not misbehave to the point it’s parent will throw him to the wolves to devour”…

Swanzi:

Swanzi:

Simple question have u gone past the round of 16 before..? Yes or No ? Hahahaha

And since 82 uve not been able to equal our afcon wins dude bow ur head in shame

Dude u failed to qualify for the world cup period no one cares about the position u got in the group…


Dude are u talking about math and logic with me so 4 and 3 which is bigger? Dude win this afcon then we can talk as equals not now 😂😂😂😂

TheSuperNerd:
He needs 3 to equal Yekini.

4 to break it and set a new record.

TheSuperNerd:
The fact Lookman actually said that as his way of wanting Osimhen to shelf his frustrations is another angle to tackle but I choose not to. All I can say is yes, Lookman should not have said that at all. It was not mature.

Damn... just look at the silence from the Osimhen Crucifiers now. It is damn silly to react quickly and condemn without knowing the whole facts.


Anyway, who be Isaac Promise wey this man dey call sef? Abeg ooo

TheSuperNerd:
Bia Banky. When 47 become 50?

Anyway, Lookman also hit 20 G+A (11 goals, 9 assists) in 38 NT Caps (30 starts) for Nigeria yesterday.

Just miffed how the media milking the onfield drama has overshadowed the various stats that result gave us yesterday.

minfelix:
This is a bad news if its true…this is from Arise news….like i will be heartbroken if its true

Spainever:
Osihmen is a great 👍 player however he needs to calm down and work on his emotions . He was substituted in the 68mins if he had calm down and continue the game ,he might have score two more goals. I read in several dailies that he threatens to go back to turkey ,if this is true ,they should allow him go. I saw two occasions Osayi/ Bruno supposed pass to Osihmen to score ,they decided to shoot ,however this can be handle maturely.

TheGoodJoe:
I hope Eric Chelle handles this with wisdom. I remember pointing this kind of thing out in the Nigerian match against Iceland, where Ahmed Musa scored two goals. In his second goal, Iheanacho was in space but Musa chose to skin the keeper and score a solo goal. It was an eye candy goal but tactically an eye sore.

It is not just a Lookman thing. I saw one of Bright and I just shook my head.

Akor does that yesterday too, it was that of Osayi that vexed VO9

TheGoodJoe:
I havd to comment about this Osimhen attitude issue. I am one never to hold back pointing out when a player is wrong but in this case, I understand Osimhen.

When a player is in space and the team fails to pass to him repeatedly, it turns to sabotage.

The bond in the National team is like brotherhood, so it is clear why Osimhen feels bitter.

Cecco90:
Not true.

AFCON Yellow Card Rules
Under CAF regulations for AFCON, yellow cards accumulate during the group stage and can lead to a one-match suspension if a player reaches two bookings before the knockouts begin. However, all single yellow cards are wiped clean at the start of the knockout stage (Round of 16 onward), giving players a fresh slate—except in cases where a player already served a suspension for reaching two yellows.Since Bassey only had one yellow before the Mozambique match (and picked up his second in the Round of 16 itself), he never reached the accumulation threshold during the group stage. Therefore, no suspension was triggered.
Implications
Bassey's second yellow (against Mozambique) has no carry-over effect.
He is fully available for Nigeria's quarter-final (against the winner of Algeria vs DR Congo).
The late booking was unnecessary with the game already won 4-0, but it carries no disciplinary consequence beyond that match.

No reports indicate any suspension for Bassey heading into the quarter-finals, and he remains a key part of Nigeria's defense.
