real madrid for where. Real madrid has way more wins than losses in final. Real madrid always unfailingly qualifies to the UCL every season no matter the form they are in. We have already missed 2 consecutive afcons and 2 consecutive world cup in the last 15 years. We also posses more silver medal and bronze than Gold. Please find another club to use as comparison

I personally think Arsenal is a better fit. We don't always win titles, but we're consistently in the top 3 or 5. Can't remember when last Arsenal fell below 5th in the EPL.

To the best of my knowledge, Eric Chelle has had closed door training with the Super Eagles squad only twice since he became head coach: one against Benin in the final WC qualifying game and the other against Tunisia just last week. We know how those games ended.

Eric Chelle is a masterchef. Hopefully he continues to deliver.

Majoribanks where re thou?

Marjoribanks wey don dey active on this thread for the past one month. Check well. 😂

Blackburn medical officers say' Ryan's injury is not serious, and he could as well finish the rest of the tournament'.

Source? Either way I hope it's true.

SymphonyRad:
I think it's safe to say we currently have the best midfield in Africa, only Morocco, Senegal and Ivory Coast are close.

This is funny cos last AFCON we had a strong defense but non-existent midfield. Now it seems it's the other way round.

Happy New Year, fellow Eagles.

Spainever:
Nigeria is also 😊 to avoid Ivory coast and Cameroon at this stage

No wam. Make everybody breathe and relax for now.

Meanwhile Cameroon dodges the Nigeria bullet.

Two teams in Africa that are sure to provide entertaining rollercoaster games with so much drama: Nigeria and Ivory Coast.

Ghana sometimes too.

Omo. This Gabon CIV game is like a repeat of the Senegal DRC game during the World Cup qualifiers.

in the last afcon we don already pipe SA 2-0 naaaa..it was VAR that rescued them na..una dey wine

Bafana is one team I'm sure we can destroy any day of the week. Especially right now, considering the current form of both teams. Freaking Zimbabwe were bullying them and almost won for Christ sake.

yinkeys:
They beat us at Uyo in 2017
We couldn’t beat them at Uyo in 2024 & Bloemfontein in 2025
90 minutes struggle

I just explained why we couldn't beat them. Plus you're looking at it only from your own side. They failed to beat us too with all their gra gra and organization, despite our terrible form.

I didn't watch the 2017 one. Was that a qualifier or a friendly? Who started that game?

yinkeys:
Ivory Coast will win against South Africa
Don’t know why we struggle with South Africa

Actually we don't struggle with them. We just happen to run into them at the worst moments.

In the last AFCON, signs of fatigue were already showing in the team, and yet we braved it through extra time and still beat them on penalties. And that last AFCON Bafana team was arguably better than the squad they have now.

In the qualifiers, well... you and I are aware of the tomfoolery going on with NFF at the time. Plus Eric Chelle just arrived in the squad by the time the second fixture came around. He barely knew enough of our players to build a proper system like he has now.

If we meet South Africa today, that's the one game I'm confident we go load them like 5 before they inevitably reply, cos I know in true Chelle fashion, we fit concede one. 😂

Egypt team B couldn't register a single goal against Angola.

Ivory Coast team B is currently losing to Gabon unless something happens in the last 30 mins.

Nigeria team B bullied and dispatched a hungry Uganda side seeking qualification without breaking a sweat.

Team B get grade. 😎

TheSuperNerd:
Algeria vs DR Congo Round of 16 is one I will so much enjoy. Whichever contender dies in that battle pleases me. But if, and only if, we get past our Rof16 opponent, we face the winner of that titanic clash.

The Super Eagles should motivate themselves with the knowledge that we have scores to settle with those two teams

Algeria for AFCON 2019
DR Congo for last month's WC playoffs.

Truidstarr:
Cut out ke? Dem.no reach our level.

Same thing una talk before DR Congo game.

Omo. Whichever team we meet in the Round of 16, we sha have our work cut out for us. Eric Chelle needs to have at least 2 closed door training sessions haha.

Oooh boy. And people said Egypt's group was the group of death.

elyte89:
As a coach ,you focus on ur possible next opponent ( CAM VS MOZ)

CIV is looking like our most likely opponent at this point 😂

Not sure which match to focus on between CAM vs MOZ, and CIV vs GAB.

Equatorial Guinea have collapsed. A far cry from their exploits at the last AFCON.

Mujtahida:
Onyedika doesn't have haters. Rather his omission has made people ask questions why he's been omitted.

There's a thin line though. I've seen people on social media outright call him trash because he was mostly benched by our most recent coaches.

We just need to tighten up our defense. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say we have the best attack in this tournament.

TheSuperNerd:
The Arthur Okonkwo Switch news. I hope it is true.

No be lie. We need am badly.

It's not an Eric Chelle Super Eagles team if there's no conceding. 😂

Onyedika is the future of our midfield. Now if he can show consistency...

Uzoho no dey waste time clear ball. 😂😂😂

Onyedika is on fire 🔥🔥🔥

Unlimited22:
Father Lord in heaven, may this not be a repeat of 2021

I was thinking about it this morning. 🤣🤣

Oya open the floodgates. 6 more goals. 😁

Onyedika just shut up his haters.

Chukwueze go do giveaway. Smh.
