Bed shaking business 🫨

Odogwu full this thread normally. 😃

Arizoner:
I saw the highlights of the match. I didn't watch the match cos I had private bedroom business I had to attend to. But boy nwabali is becoming ann onanna in goal. Has anybody notice it? The way he concede goals is rather alarming beside his ball playing abilities

Which business? 🤔

Uganda is the banana peel we need to watch out for in this group.

Tunisia 2-0 Uganda

It's always when I want to type that a goal enters.

semid4lyfe:
First match, 3 points in the bag. Hallelujah!

We go again against Uganda.

Tunisia first boss.

lexyman:
we played very badly and struggled to win Tanzania , i was expecting a 4:0 or 4:1 giving room for Nwabali's error .if we play like this against Tunisia , trust me , they will trash us .

At least let's see how the Tunisia will perform today against Uganda before tagging them favorites against us. For me so far this is how I'll rank the teams that played today.

Senegal
Nigeria
DR Congo
Benin
Tanzania
Botswana

Make these people no Ghana this lead o.

Maaan. This defense will be our undoing. Could have easily been 2-2.

Nwabali could have made a run to get that ball though.

Defense don dey show their true colors.

Such a cheap goal to concede.

Dannyxy:
Iwobi has been immersive in this game.

Played really well, if osimhen Chuks and ademola should raise their games, final balls, position need to improve..

In all Nigeria totally outplayed Tanzania, should be 3 goals up.

Senegal vs Botswana ended 0-0 after first half. I predicted we'll beat Tanzania 2-0 but if we maintain the pressure, I can even see us surpassing Senegal 's goal count tonight.

I'm calling NGA 2-0 TAN

Who get link oo abeg

Senegal playing like a European side. Best performance in the AFCON so far.

They're wasting chances sha.

Blueelf:
Here to drink some tears after the match

Nigeria can't lose to Tanzania. Worst case scenario they will draw.

mekabuachi:
What were his exact words?

One Benin player fouled Wan-Bissaka. So as they were preparing for free kick that's when he said it. I can't say it verbatim but it was something like "he was one of the players Nigeria complained about for having dual citizenship"

lordofstrings:
Please guys who still have that afro sport link to watch marches

Fawanews na the way my brother.

elyte89:
Who heard d commentator now about dr Congo case …e b like say d judgement go favour us o

Maybe na my ear but he sounded a bit amused as he was saying it. Like he thought it was funny.

M7even:
Wait till your favorite play their first game .

I swear. 😂😂😂

typicalgamer:
And you counter them why ?

It’s better for the to revel in past glory than live in the filth we have today.

To each his own i guess

LOL.

This is a cynical statement that assumes it is impossible to improve on our football. It's also a way to avoid taking accountability to make things better in the present.

I'm just laughing. We're slowly becoming minnows. We're not even top 5 in Africa any longer.

When you people are done crying, let's focus on the AFCON. As for this World Cup, it's gone and gone forever.

I hope South Africa do well if they make it through. They deserve it. 100%. In fact, 1000%.

Diavolo:
We can still come back though. The two goals were from our errors at the back. What we need now is to remove ihuzeo and ijamilusi. Bring in wingers. The coach just dey squeeze face dey shout,which is not helping. Give them clear tactical instructions.

I tire. The guy comes off so clueless the way he barks like a dog from the sidelines.

This is the problem our senior national teams keep facing. We find a winning formula during a major tournament and decide to milk it for all its' worth, without any Plan B. Now they've found us out and we're looking extra stupid. We might have as well just let Zambia win and save ourselves this embarrassment. Imagine coming this far just to play this atrocious game in the finals of all freaking places.

This can never be Waldrum.
Las las we enter penalties.

ekehopp2:
Seems Abiodun comes in for Echegini.
Abiodun wey dey collect card, dey break people leg on the steady.
Would have preferred an attack minded player like Payne instead.

Abiodun ke?

Hmmm. Omo. Let's be watching sha.

naptu2:
I actually began to think that it was normal for us to beat South Africa in semi-final and then beat Cameroon in the final of WAFCON.

2016 and 2014.

And there's usually some kind of freekick goal or penalty in the semi-final.

Thank you. I just checked and you were right.
I should be probably research more on WAFCON statistics haha.

Correct me if I'm wrong but has any senior Nigerian team, male or female, ever beaten South Africa in a semi finals and gone ahead to win the finals? I don't think so. 2000 and 2023 AFCON come to mind.

If the answer is no, then hopefully that curse is broken tomorrow.

Cherrybae:
I pray Nigeria lose this match. I stand with south Africa

Good. Now stay over there. 🤣🤣🤣

Nigeria 1-0 South Africa

Not bad, but we seem to have slowed down a bit, which is a bit understandable (fatigue). But I feel like South Africa are just bidding their time, slowing things down and waiting for a slip up. Or better yet, take the game to penalties where their star keeper can shine. We need to capitalize on this lead now!

joxxy01:
Am I the only one who find that chant of "All we are saying, give us one goal! " Irritating

I swear. I heard that shii and facepalmed so hard.

We should be chanting songs that get under our opponents' skin, not put the falcons under immense pressure.
