JohnBullMySon: Opinion: should we not throw away this Tunisia game?
There’s a little chance Senegal might drop to second. If they do, then the biggest threats will drop to the lower end of the knockouts tree.
By topping the group we are then guaranteed to meet either Algeria or Senegal and potentially Morocco in the semis.
If we throw away this game, what's the probability that we will win the next game. This super eagles can't be trusted. I am watching their games without any emotional attachment, I can't afford a broken heart.
It's not the coach. This same coach picked up the team from low level and has won games even without Victor (in unity cup). It has to do with the players mentality.. If you bring in Pep, same thing will happen. I was surprised to see them passing to the back continously and being timid during the Dr Congo game, no fighting spirit. C'mon..there are players with international exposure, they seriously let us down biko..
TheCongo2: That still doesn’t change the fact that Congo has put itself on the football map through its local league and — something Nigeria simply can’t claim. It even makes you wonder sometimes if Nigeria still has a functioning local league at all.
Guy, Calm down.. You cannot come here and run your mouth anyhow against nigeria.. We congratulate Dr Congo for their success and for beating Nigeria. Don't come and add salt to injury. Kindly stay in your lane pls.
We just need to understand that we cannot give what we don't have...
These set of players were deployed against Benin and Gabon and we won gallantly..
When we saw the line up, a larger percentage of people said..it was a perfect line up...and showed belief in Chelle
Now why the query..
The fact remains that we cannot give what we don't have... The better team won yesterday... Kudos to every player and coaching crew who fought hard, time for some people to retire...
minfelix: bro let’s not b sentimental chelle is the man, it’s unfortunate he was outplayed…i really dont know the boys fell like pack of cards, i really dont know how they allowed congo build confidence…
bro lets remove sentiment and anger, if chelle had even picked up from jpes after our first 2 draws i dont see him losing away to Benin and maybe playing draw with SA, but he would have learnt his lesson and defeated zimbabwe in uyo…walai with that SA deduction we for don qualify direct tay tay…he only lost in Pk shootout, he is still unbeaten in 90mins as super eagles coach…even in 120 mins
BankyGee: Bro I kept dreaming that we replayed the match and we still didn't win... 😔
This loss go mess with me for sometime sha. But where has Éric Chelle got any blame in all these?
Now people are shouting that why didn't he play 4-4-2? The same people who were shouting "is 4-3-3 dead in football?" Chelle got his formation and selection perfect in this game, the players were just complacent and confused on the pitch. It's safe to say without Osimhen, the Super Eagles cannot function.
So now every game he didn't play up to 50 mins at least, we didn't manage to win one in the entire qualifying process? Akor and Tolu disappeared, no single shot from 2nd half to the the 2nd half of extra time.
The one chance Tolu got he headed it upwards. We played bad and this is NOT on Chelle. I pity the man in all these, why can't these players turn up for their coach and themselves? Why?
Nwabali saved a last minute shot, saved two penalties and players still decided to miss more than he saved. BROOO 🤦🏾♂️... I can't move on from this anytime soon. I just dey look sha 😐
We fought We gave out best.. The players tried.. Looks like they were all fatigued after the Gabon game.. Eric Chelle is okay for us.. We go back to the drawing board...
TheSuperNerd: This pic captures the exact moment, Benjamin "Beckanbaeur" Frederick left Aubameyang on the turf on his way to executing the brilliant run that fed Osimhen for 3-1. Iconic Picture!
If you check Benjamin's pocket very well, you go see Auba there
SymphonyRad: Benjamin Federick individual highlights vs Gabon
Omo, we've really unearthed a true gem in this kid...and the future looks promising with the likes of Vince Osuji, Akinsamir, Tebo Uchenna etc already in the picture
BankyGee: Scoring a goal after missing ample amount of chances given your reputation and knowing how many stupid drafts have been stored for you, ehn, he for no comot shirt but e reach to comot shirt.
Had it been card no dey dey, I been want make he comot shirt again after the second goal 😏🔥
Abeg..nothing fit make me query Victor for removing shirt.. E reach to remove trousers sef.. The guy has put smiles on our faces, so I no dey look his faults at all..his positives have overshadowed his negatives. See as he carry SE for head like gala.. If he was in the previous matches, we won't be playing playoffs.. Abeg..Victor, we love you as you are..
Mujtahida: Anytime Nigeria wins, it takes me a week to recover. I don't have club oo. And I don't watch club football like that. Super Eagles na im be my club.
Chelle has done something in these set of super eagles.. Not only do they win, they now score plenty goals.. I was surprised to see them still pushing to score more after 4 goals.. The SE we used to know will score a goal and relax.. something has changed...
Thanks to all the players and coaching crew for putting smiles in our faces tonight.
