This is ridiculous but I'll answer.

Mane plays for Liverpool. Gueye plays for PSG.

So, those are your world class players?
I don't argue with Kids!

Taliban:

tbaba12345:
Aribo is a runner not a creator. He is not the player to create chances for you, Iwobi is. Iwobi created the most chances for Arsenal last season. Ndidi and Etebo are not the players to pick out passes to the wings. They are hard workers.

You need people running off the wingers.. Aribo does not give you that. Iwobi did that for the goal against South Africa at the AFCON and against Ukraine.

Alright, BABA!

Senegal fared better than us in the game. They took the game to Brazil. The ball possession was almost equal for both teams. and shots was 11 : 10 unlike ours.

As for us, the game could have ended 5 - 1 to Brazil. They hit the bar twice!

Now who are the world class players we missed in the game that could have made a difference? Samuel Kalu or etebo?


Conclusion: We overate our team. In Africa we are steeply behind Algeria and Senegal. However we are good prospects for the future.

Who are Senegal's world class players that are better than ours?

tbaba12345:
I disagree.

Etebo is not as creative as Iwobi.. When Iwobi is on form, he is our best offensive player as everything goes through him. Against Ukraine, everything collapsed when Iwobi was removed.

Even against Brazil, we suffered going forward because Iwobi was not playing well.

We will struggle to create without Iwobi. I think Ebere Eze is the only player that can replace him now

Aribo will move forward to support Oshimen while Etebo and Ndidi shield the defence.
We don't need Iwobi's creativity with Aribo's and Oshimen's movement.
Etebo and Ndidi just need to move the ball forward faster to our pacing wingers and with Aribo's and Oshimen's movement and runs, we should be able to destroy any team.

breezy147:
Senegal have world class players. On paper they are better than us. We've played them twice recently and both times they had an edge over us. (The first time was a draw we managed to come back from by a penalty)

No point arguing about that. They are better than us. Likewise Algeria.

The problem is that many of you are so much excited with the prospect of our team that you have been blinded to reality.

Senegal played with their full squad.
We had 3 first team players out.
There was a time in the game we camped Brazil in their half.
What we lacked was quality substitute. Our players tired out cos the weather situation was above 30 degrees in the second half.
Senegal scored through a fortunate penalty.
So what's your point exactly.

tbaba12345:
Nah, Iwobi is critical to how we play. We have no other creative midfielder.

Even though, he had an average game against Brazil, he still created the best chance with Osimhen in the first.

Baba, Yes! when playing less superior opposition he should start.
What I know is that Etebo will not sit on the bench in Rohr's era for Iwobi.
Having Iwobi coming into games in the second half should be our secret weapon.

tbaba12345:
If Etebo came, i doubt Aribo would have started. Now i think Aribo has given the coach food for thought and might have displaced Etebo from the starting line up.

Baba, you are absolutely right about Aribo not starting the Brazil match if Etebo was around.
However, I do think Iwobi will drop to the Bench not Etebo.

Isaac Success should be invited. He is strong and can also dribble.
I do also think both him and Etebo should return to Spain and Nacho to France.
We need both of them urgently in this current set up.
We have lost Musa Yahaya. We cannot allow Success and Nacho to waste.
For me Onachu does not fit our system. We need a very mobile forward like Success and Nacho!

Well played Super Eagles!
I was just imagining, what might have happened, having both Kalu and Etebo in this game.

Afaha obong community Grammar School was where I served! Wow!!

Please is there a link to watch this match on Sunday.
I mean the Nigeria vs Brazil game!

Do you know how many times the housemates in the house had to perform to win prizes? You think they just have sex all day?

They had to come up with stage plays, Seyi does great voice over, Sir Dee and Frodd are good actors, Tacha did a make-up to age Venita, Joe drew the coat of arms in FIVE MINUTES using ketchup and other household items.Ike, Venita and Khaffi are experts in puzzles, they can solve any puzzle in minutes.

Last season, Alex won a Damn Milk challenge after she wrote and presented a power for her mother, Tobi won a Heritage Bank Challenge after coming up with a Business Plan.

You don't watch the show, or you would not think something as mediocre as Maltina Dance All is better than BBN. I understand we all have our standards, but your level of information determines this standard.

The only thing MDA does, is promote family unity, and this is in the RARE instance that the entire family actually comes on the show, because half the time, it is neighbors and uncles filling up the numbers. You cannot finish watching something like So You Think You Can Dance and rate Maltina Dance All

Wow! This is how you kill an argument!
@Safarigirl you killed it Girl.
I have to definitely start watching the show!

MetalJigsaw:
Man will you stop this unnecessary panic? Other players are there or aren't they good enough to feature? Football matches not won by mere names. Hard work and determination does it... Ask Man City

One of the In form duo of Simon and Denis can deputize well

I seriously want us to perform well! Because if we loose people like you will start calling for Rohr's head.

Prectega:
Please think very well before drawing ur conclusions .. Apart from omeruo .. The rest u mentioned are currently innactive or u don't know that

That's exactly my point, we are worse off at this moment to be facing a team like Brazil.
You want to play Brazil without a formidable bench and left wing forward.
You must be joking!

I just don't feel good about this friendly with Brazil. That evil genius(Neymar) is fit and ready for the kill.
Ola Aina is so scared, finding unfounded excuses not to honour the game.
No Kalu, Oyekuru, Musa, Omeruo, Balogun, Nacho!
Defence is made up of carpenters ( Ekong, Collins, Shehu and Ajayi)
I just hope it's not going to be a whitewash!

I need Chelsea vs Lille live stream link abeg.

Happy birthday, Mr Icon4s

Icon4s:
The kind of emotional torture we received from Cameroon particularly the period from 1984 to 1989, was too much.
The dominance was too much. Not as if they usually played better than us but some how they always found a way around us.
In 1984, even though we lost to them 3-1 we were the better side. In 1988 Henry Nwosu scored an excellent goal but was wrongly ruled off-side by the ref, who years later apologized for the wrong decision taken.

Leading to Italia 90 WC we beat them 2:0 in Ibadan, but for the 2:1 defeat we suffered in away Libreville, Gabon we could have qualified before the Cameroon return fixture. We needed a draw in Yaoundé. It was 0:0 at half time and we all turned prayer warriors only for Nigeria to concede with less than 20mins to full time.
See how we were also rubbed in Lagos when Ikpeba stupidly disallowed his goal that he scored and we went ahead and lost the penalty shoot-out.
Cameroon has never been better than Nigeria, just that things always work against us each time we played them. They became like a God to us.

Okocha said something after we beat them in the quarter finals of the 2004 AFCON: "Thank God our generation has finally been able to beat Cameroon for the generations to come". And ever since then onward we have never lost to Cameroon.

they outplayed us both in 1988 and 2000 AFCON final.

fabyom:
So peeps are getting emotional over nothing.
We lost, so what?
I could vividly recall AFCON 2013.
We were to meet the Ivorians and so many peeps were shouting we cannot beat them upanda.
2004 against Cameroon, aahh Eto will destroy us!
What happened afterwards.

I don't deal with pessimist and kids.
Those of us that has been following soccer for 30+ years knows what the name Super Eagles can do.
What's all the wailing and gnashing of teeth for.

Our first team didn't start the match today.
We defeated the Guineas that topped the Ivorians during qualifiers.
So please don't mention silly ivory coast here.

#Optimist
It's only kids that would doubt the effervescent Super Eagles.
Go Super Eagles.

Jarus:
year 2 and SS3 no dey different nah.

I repeat class for pry 2, if not nah year 1 I go dey for uni. and I start school late sef.

so we fit be mate o

Which School you finished from?
We fit be classmates oo.

darkelf:
Yes they are good

But what I have learnt from this AFCON is that the way a team plays depends on their opponent

For example, although Camerron had been playing poorly, they played well against us today. SA may not play same good football against NGA

However, should we underrate them, we do so at our peril

We will not underate them.
We both know each other very well.
We will beat them.

We should not be complacent!
This SA team is very good.
However, this time around there won't be Gascammer to save them!
Thank goodness we lost to Madagascar!

fabyom:
I am happy we lost at this stage.
This is the type of defeat that spurs team to success.
There is no cause for alarm, we lost to two fortuitous goals despite changing almost all our regular Midfielders.
We are winning this AFCON.

Mickael2:
It wasn't a dream, you just rewatched our game against Guinea nothing more.

Loll, biz don start bedat

ChrisKels:
When last did u take antimalarials?

Over 20 years ago. Lol
I am not joking!
No team has the means and players to defeat us in this tournament.

I dreamt we won 1 nil.
A header at the near post scored towards the end of the match .

fabyom:
Average midfield and attack. Nothing spectacular here!
Ivory coast is the real deal in terms of squad.
But in terms of big game temperament on the African continent; Nigeria, Cameroon and Egypt even Ghana.
Senegal and Morrocco, even if all their players are playing in Liverpool that cannot win this year's Nations Cup.

Morrocco out!
I still stand by this statement of mine.
As it stands now
Nig/Cam/Egypt vs Ghana final.

3-5-2 should be the way to go.

Defenders:
Balogun Omeruo, Ekong

Wing backs:

Simon and Kalu

Midfielders:

Ndidi, Iwobi, Etebo

Strikers:

Musa and Ighalo.

Second half
4-2-1-3

Kalu out for Chuz 55 mins
Simon out for Aina 60 mins
Musa out for Onyekuru 70 mins

Simple.

OMANBALA1:
Firstly, our flag is one of the ugliest. Our president is one of the ddumbest with his disrespectful RUGA settlements. Our economy is one of the crappiest, with highest cases of poverty in the whole world and you think some magic will happen and eagles will start beating everybody 10 zero....lol

I hope not but Nigeria look like a cursed nation. How can Buhari be a President in Nigeria....The country is headed for the rocks that's why Buhari quickly suspended the RUGA program.....The north is holding us down ,while Tinubu and his southwest ffools are busy contemplating on which tribe the next President will come from.

I have one question to ask you.
Who determines a man's tribe?
