Adakintroy:
Which kind football rules be this


So the last man behind keeper is not part of the game?. What if the first shot had beaten the keeper? Won't he still be in position to clear off the line..in that case is he not part of the play?

Even if it's the goalkeeper that was on the line when the ball came to Semi Ajayi, it's still an offside. Understand the offside rule first.

lwisee:
Osimen always keeping off side. The coach needs to talk to him He might ruin all our chances to secure a clean goal.

Dey play. 🙄

fabienjoe:
That's the correct interpretation of the rules. Only one Cameroonian player was beyond the Nigerian striker. It made the Nigerian striker off side.

Exactly bros.

abbyyzino:
Our goal wasn’t an offside, there was a Cameroonian player at the goal post. Or is it that I don’t know what offside is again

You clearly don't understand the offside rule bros. VAR made the right call to cancel that goal.

Akwamkpuruamu:
We were robbed of our first goal. It wasn't an offside. A Cameroonian player was behind after the goalkeeper

This your statement shows that you don't understand the offside rule to start with.

ariesbull:
na robbing

That is a clean goal

It's not, check and understand the offside rule first.

Nazgul:
Nigeria are defending too deep...it's risky.

Not really, the team has been very compact at the back since the tournament started. You must be a very good side to break down their defence. Only Equatorial Guinea has managed to do that once and scored a goal against the Super Eagles so far in this current tournament.

malvisguy212:
everyday this people keep on bringing new rules.

their must be two players present if the keeper is not in the post.

That has always been the rule from onset to start with though.

victorazy:
Explain naw!
Was it because they were behind goalkeeper?

Nope, not because of the attacking player been ahead of the goalkeeper.
According to the offside rule, for a play to be onside, two opposition players must be ahead of the attacking player.

victorazy:
Did you also noticed the Cameronian player by the goal line?

According to the rule, two opposition players must be ahead of the attacking player. In that scenario only one player was ahead of Semi Ajayi.

Note: The two opposition players doesn't necessarily have to include the goalkeeper.

victorazy:
But there was a player by goal line. What do you say about that one?

Understand the offside rule first bro, it's not rocket science. 🙄

Nazgul:
That ball was a clean goal. It touched the goal keeper before coming to ajayi. It didn't come to ajayi directly.

Dey play. 🙄

Sagacity3711:
Nigeria 1 CAMEROON 3

I go wipe you fake oraimo USB cord for neck. 🙄

femi4:
I was explaining the context of the replay where the offside line was drawn. Which part of that is difficult for you to understand

Bros, no need for misunderstanding on this. The most important thing is that we won the game convincingly. Hopefully, the players will replicate this in their next match too.

femi4:
Is the gk not a player...Itk

The goal would not have been cancelled if there was another player in addition to the one ahead of Ajayi even if that player is not the goalkeeper. Read what you wrote there and make the necessary corrections, don't form what you don't know.

happney65:
How is that a offside? someone should explain to me cos I don't get it

Two opposition players must be ahead of the player receiving the pass. Most times one of the two opposition player is the goalkeeper since it's his job to man the goal line.

godwon01:
Goal disallowed. Stupid VAR.

Stupid ke? That was a right call.

Edoblakky:
I need to be walked through on why the goal was disallowed

Two opposition players must be ahead of the player receiving the pass, in Semi's case only was player was ahead of him. Most times one of the two players is the goalkeeper cos it's his job to man the goal line.

femi4:
He was ahead of the gk

You need the gk and at least a defender to be ahead of you to be on side

It doesn't necessarily have to be the goalkeeper. Just two opponent players.

sucess001:
VAR has spoilt football.

I don't even know what offside they saw there when there is a camerounian player on the goal line.

This your statement shows that you don't know the rule to start with. The offside rule states that two opponent players in their own half must be ahead of the opposition player been given a pass. In that scenario only one player was ahead of Semi Ajayi when he received the pass. Most times, one of the two players is usually the goalkeeper.

MT:
That was not an offside. He was on when he scored the goal.

That was cheating

It's about when he received the pass and not about if opponents covered after that. Don't be emotional.

kennosklint:
How is that offside?

Na offside o.

MT:
Only a blind person wont see that

You and that guy na blind person. The case of a blind man leading another blind man.

Shellsploit:
Final score 1 - 3 First Nigerian goal will be own goal 2 red cards before 45mins

Prophet of doom.

BABANGBALI:
If our national item is sang first, Nigeria will win the march, but if Cameroon national item is sang first, Cameroon will win the march.

March ko, April ni.

johnnychuks:
Nigeria way no get head is what you are hoping on! I prefer we lose this match!

Your wish/preference is of no consequence

victorazy:
Why did they cancel that first goal, I tut I see Cameronian player by goal line?

Offside.
Two opponent players must be ahead of a player in order for it onside, most times one of the two players is usually the goalkeeper.

orlahtohbadt:
I wonder o, na Nigeria host the tournament? Sebi na person wey host go prepare well in terms of putting up good facilities?

May God help our countrymen o.

netmillionaires:
I see Aboubakar on the Cameroon bench. Is the guy not good again?

Fitness issue na.

robosky02:
No mind them

It's actually the fear of Osimhen most teams can play us

Giving the room for other players to shine

Osimhen has been involved one way or the other in almost all not all of our goals in AFCON so far so good, one keyboard warrior with no iota of football sense believed that he should be benched. People wey no fit coach kids go gather dey yarn beer parlour talk.

Revolva:
Abidjan, Felix Houphouet-Boigny stadium is so pleasant , and also Alassane Ouattara Stadium
all in Abidjan

ivory coast gave a remarkable facilities , shame to Nigeria

How does the remarkable facility become a shame to Nigeria?
Orishirishi.

KingDash09:

Bench Osimhen for who? Some of una go just open mouth waah. 🙄
