I thought Egypt is 100% a muslim country. Why are their muslim ladies not covering their hair? Or are Nigerian Muslims better Muslims than the Egyptians?

They are not 100% Muslims. About 10% of their population are Coptic Christians..

I hope the Burkinbabes know how to roll on the ground and waste time when they are fouled? That's one of the gimmicks of North African side..

Seems VAR has been abandoned in this tournament sha..

Last time I saw it being employed was the game before Ivory Coast and Egypt..

Impressive CV though.. I have seen some University Professors with intimidating CVs but couldn't manage a Department well in the University

The contrast says it all

One is a rest ECG while the other (Ronaldo) is called stress ECG..

Both are actually necessary for cardio evaluation of an athlete.

forgiveness:


I think it is better he publicly declares he is out of retirement instead of trying to pass through the back door.

I hope he is part of the World Cup qualifiers.

Undoubtedly, his presence is still needed and I would be glad to see him return back to the squad..

forgiveness:


If true, he should have been allowed to join.

He would have made a difference.

I agree with you, he would have brought a lot of difference to our attacking line up. I don't know how true the info is but Biola Kazeem is a reputable fella when it comes to football info..

Vicmo and ighalo can still play in dis National team,forget what d majority says here concerning both players

Victor Moses was recently in Nigeria shortly before our team left for Cameroon.

Heard he made some frantic efforts to be included in the squad but met stiff resistance from Augustine Eguavoen..

Sportilitica:
There is surely no VAR in this game

Same as the match between the Ivorian and Egypt.. Seems the match officials are bulging to people's outcry about the irregularities in the interpretation of VAR calls..

fabyom:
Saying he had a sleepless night doesn't necessarily mean he did. It's a soothing way to address those not selected that they are not forgotten! It's a human relation term. Ivory coast drew with Sierrialeone but defeated Algeria. My G, football is not mathematics.

Equavoen's tactic was spot on. In the first half, Algeria had one shot on target which came in the first 5 minutes.
Their tactic is to neutralize our attack and hit us on a counter. Equavoen knew that's why our forwards did not press in the first half and Moses withdrew a bit backward.
This is a knockout stage you don't just go all out against the 2nd best team in Africa.

In the 2nd half, we decided to be more proactive because Equavoen could see what the Tunisians were trying to do.
Iheanacho lost the ball and they countered, a long pass to Aina's position just needs Aina to trap the ball but he lost it. These are the little loss of concentrations that made Rohr prefer Awaziem to Aina.
Before our backline could recover boom a straight waving shot, took a bounce in front of our goalkeeper. A routine save with two palms but Okoye went with one (Bad positioning).

Equavoen saw a need to press their backline which Iheanacho and Awoniyi were not doing. He brought on Olayinka to press and Iwobi to control the midfield (Switching to 4-3-3) formation. Simon to drive in and Sanusi to go wide. Same with Chukweze and Aina. As we began to take charge of the game Iwobi miss-timed his control and ... red card.

Nevertheless, we maintained the game plan and there were several occasions Simon drove in and Sanusi drifted wide to receive the ball.
This game plan allowed us to press the Tunisians even with 10 men, and when Sadiq came on, Olayinka took Chukweze position drifting in and Aina going wide. That was how Olayinka was able to locate Sadiq unfortunately he shot wide (P.S: Sadiq and Olayinka gave it all, pressing, running, and dribbling).

Simon was able to locate Ndidi twice just outside the 18-yard box and he shot unbelievably wide. You don't give such space to a player like Partey or Kessie and won't pay dearly. Ndidi's shooting let us down. Comoros scored a free-kick from 30 yards but we have no player that can score from 20 yards. Wow!

Equavoen got his tactic spot on as it allowed us to control the game without headache, unlike our previous qualifiers.

It was the qualities of our players that let us down. A keeper that can't save a direct shot, a striker that failed to convert a through ball, a DM that can't shoot, and a 10 that got a red card.
Even with 10 men, we had the chance to equalize. Hardluck but as Iwobi wrote on his IG page, the Super Eagles shall be back. Patience my people!

Aptly described... Big ups

AndSunGorilla:

There has been a red card in too many 2nd world games.

But officiating at previous Afcon has not been abysmal as this..

PDPGuy:
How is that a RED CARD!!!!

These AFCON REFS ARE IDIOTTS

The thing tire me oo. Seems the number of red cards is more than yellow in this tournament. A lot of questionable calls

This car is screaming 'come and pick me'

Call now..

Y'all cried so hard, you crashed Nairaland's server.


Wow

Lolz.. I noticed that too

12large1:
The boys individually played well but as usual, the formation ruined it. 424 in modern day football is unacceptable

Our midfield looked so lean in the first half that the Tunisians were having a swell night. However, the lads tried there best and gave in a good response in the second half.

The officiating was skewed to our detriment and luck wasn't on our sides despite spirited efforts from our boys.

As Moses Praise of Supersport would say ' in Afcon any team can defeat iyal'aya anybody'

Some of us should have developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy from repeated heart breaks but life continues

It is expected.

Someone they were trolling when he never even do mistake, is it now that he made a costly mistake they will not troll him?

He should talk to Iwobi and Iheanacho. Iheanacho limited his comment section some years back, and has not opened it back till now, Ekong even left the social media totally.

He should limit his comment section. They can take their hate to Instablog

True.. Osimhen has also adopted similar tactics..

Sadly, Nigerians are on Maduka Okoye's Instagram page trolling him..

safarigirl:


Back to his technical director duties I suppose

He filled in when we needed a coach, so, they may just get Peseiros back on

Yes, back to his technical director duties..
