I officially give up on Nigerian football, that hope will only be salvaged if and hopefully if Gusau and his board of bandits are kicked out in this September's NFF election...I'll be stupid to do another tenure of Gusau, God forbid bas thing.

Good luck to those who still care.

I'm with you on this one.

To be honest, I don't even feel bad that we lost. If we played good football, maybe I would. Today was just another one of the horrendous football we've been playing this tournament.

On the flip side, it's crazy how my dream came to pass though, at least partly. Perhaps I might have a future in the prophetic ministry haha.

😮‍💨

I experienced a very vivid dream this morning, where we lost to Cameroon 2-0.

We had chance after chance after chance to no avail and ended up getting undone by two very late goals from one Cameroon substitute. She was short and had beards (don't ask me how) 🤧

Somebody pour me water.

What's really the game plan here because I can't see any coherent strategy from our team so far.

@seun, some of us have been on nairaland since 2012 and I was one of the founders and earliest contestants of the Mr Nairaland years back. I think it's time to call you out to know what's happening on this particular thread. Your mod on this thread is bias and an asslicker to some monikers, most especially Thesupernerd. Thesupernerd is few of his likes are the only ones who can insult and bully others on this thread because of opposite opinions and the mod will never ban them even for a minute. You just call the mod to order and if possible replace him with a new mod who is upright and not bias.

Lol.

There's no need for all this. What do you suppose calling Seun will achieve? Lol, abeg let's not derail the thread with this nonsense. For me, it is genuinely baffling how anyone on this board is still acting shocked or surprised by that guy's behavior.

Why are you people acting as if his insufferable attitude is a brand-new development? He's a proper pseudo-intellectual who specializes in ego driven punditry. And the real reason he continues to act with total impunity is because you guys on this thread keep stroking his ego endlessly by trying to compromise when arguing with him because you want to be in his good graces, instead of calling him out for his narcissism to his face. Now you've all created a monster and suddenly you're shocked?

If an individual is always surrounded by a choir of enablers who treat every of his misplaced outbursts with kid gloves and concessions, then surely you can't seriously expect such individual to suddenly display basic decency overnight, do you?

Tagging Seun and writing formal petitions is an absolute waste of your time and energy. You said you've been here since 2012. I've been here since around 2015/16. If truly you've been here this long, you should know by now that Seun will never take action on this issue.

Seun, for better or worse, has shown zero interest in micromanaging thread squabbles or calling moderators to order, and he certainly isn't going to start today simply because a few veteran monikers are aggrieved.

If you ask me, there's a solution right there on your screen: use the block feature, mute out the noise, and starve him of the outrage he thrives on instead of drafting open letters that will inevitably be ignored. I myself have him blocked as we speak.

So just block him and let's die all this talk abeg.

The truth is that integrity on Nairaland has never been particularly high anyway. Whatever minimal standard of fair moderation or healthy intellectual debate once existed here has steadily degraded over recent years, with absolutely zero signs of ever getting better.

The blatant double standards, rampant toxicity, and unchecked moderator bias are the exact reasons why so many quality posters I know abandoned this forum years ago and moved over to Twitter. This thread was the only thing keep me tethered to this forum but from the look of things, it's like I'll soon pick my sticks and finally move on to the next town.

Narcissism is a drug.

E don be for Sad Africa.

Chebbak wtf was that!

South Africa's keeper don drink 😂😂😂

After all the gragra in the group stage, na so CIV take comot 💔

Well playoffs dey sha.

Cant wait for Morocco vs South Africa 😁

Looking at the table now that the dust has settled, na Malawi suppose go house o 😂

Funny thing is even if they added goals scored against Egypt, Nigeria would still progress because we're +3 and Malawi is +2. This whole exit drama right now is really just between Zambia and Malawi.

Unlimited22:
Can she NOT play left back anymore

Madugu may have other ideas 😭

Unlimited22:
Wetin he just Dey talk since?

And he dey talk am with so much conviction 🤣🤣

I just dey wonder the kind shame wey go ambush am once he listens back at the tapes when the match is over.

Unlimited22:
Is this commentator’s father a bastard?

🤣🤣🤣

lovewins:
No we don't. The commentator doesn't know what he's saying.

Nigeria is good as is.

We only need to pray Zambia and Malawi's result doesn't end in a 4-3 Zambia win.

Yh I understand now

isan:
No.. it's zambia that wont qualify

Oh ok
I'm watching the Nigeria Egypt game and the way the commentator gave the update made me scared lol

We're in trouble. A goal is needed urgently.

Abeg who's monitoring the Zambia Malawi game? What's the update on that front?

carbonado:
Congratulations Maiduguri, a player struggles at a position but you still kept her there at a very critical game...the question is why did you not bring a natural left back and the ones you brought why are you not using them at that position?

Notice the people mindlessly attacking her here and conveniently forgetting the fact that she's a fish out of water in Madugu's dodgy setup.

Spainever:
Are you aware that if Zambia win by 4-3 goals ,Nigeria is out, irrespective of how many goals we score against Egypt. I hope no match fixing

Scariest part is that 4-3 is a very believable scoreline given the fact that both teams aren't exactly known for having the best defense.

Morocco vs SA in the quarter finals is a brutal draw for both teams.

I'm starting to have this feeling that if we can get out of this group, we are winning the 11th title.

Damioduso1:
🚨🆕💣 BREAKING! Chelsea are admirers of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen and could make an offer in the coming days.🔜💰

Tottenham Hotspur have submitted a formal bid in the region of €50-55m, according to reports. However, Galatasaray have set their asking price at €65m for the forward.

Here we go again 😂

Then this issue goes beyond Madugu and Falcons. Don't forget that the core of that Spain team are from Barcelona and almost all their squad play in Spain. That has always been the norm for some time. Also, Spain has some good academies where they're taught the Spain football tradition. I think during Germany's era of dominance, they had a large percentage of their squad playing in Germany. In Africa, South Africa is another team that has a recognized football identity (even though it's all romance but no penetration).

Don't let me get started with our league. Age grade? When last did we qualify for U17 world cup?

On your opinion on smash and grab, are tournaments not small? Moreso, what I mean about smash and grab implies working with what you have to get immediate result rather than cooking a philosophy that may not get done in about 5 years time. My own definition of smash and grab doesn't equate to just individual brilliance. Of course, tactical input is inclusive but must be something that can be implemented in a short term.

"Romance but no penetration" 😂

Una too mumu for this thread I swear 😂

Somebody is being curious and you’re taking it as an attack. Mscheew.

I was actually pulling your legs with sarcasm, but since you took offense, please drink some warm water so that heavy hiss won't strain your chest.

Amedino99:
You didnt word this well. I thought our semi final qualification was going to be determined by this match. I was surprised when i saw that we have CIV next in the semis.

If we had finished 1st, we'd have faced Niger. Unfortunately this loss to Burkina Faso means we finish second.

meobizy:
Why did you abandon your Lordtheus account?

Sorry boss, I forgot I needed to submit a formal resignation letter before using another handle. No vex. In fact, I’ll be sure to book an appointment with you next time I decide to change my handle.

Today wey I talk say make I settle down watch our youth team, dem go swallow big akara from Burkina Faso.

Nigerian football will not kpai me IJN. 😭

meobizy:
Why did you abandon your Nerdcat account? I’m sure you’re Lordtheus.

First of all, hi. I (and only I) am LordTheus.

Second of all, who TF is Nerdcat?

Third of all, BBNaija is not exactly my cup of tea this year so kindly leave me out of whatever scuffles you're having. Thanks.

Danielnino00:
What if Zambia and Malawi now decide to fix the game at that scoreline?

Devilish scenes 😂
