Akanji to the heavens 😂

COOL10:
The thing with Switzerland is that they always find a way to disappoint but in this game they've been very impressive. They actually outplayed Colombia towards the end of the match and that's not easy to do.

They’ve been decent in this World Cup so far!

forgiveness:
Wait ooo. Nobo did Egpyt we beat easily for AFCON?

Na penalty shootout sha!!!

😂 you just remember?

COOL10:
I never knew Switzerland were capable of holding Colombia to this extent. Well done to them.

Quintero has come on as a sub; that's a possible game changer right there.

Tomorrow someone will say they are not World Cup material. The euro zone qualification for the World Cup is not a tea party anyone who qualifies is a decent team, same as the South America zone!

elyte89:
Wc history 😏😏😏


No be ordinary Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 equalise 4-nil first lead for second half during nations cup qualifiers..dem almost beat us sef 😄😄😄,eagles too mumu abeg

Almost no mean the same as beating us!

minsfelix2:
Bro Greece is not in the league of powerhouse we need our super eagles to lead 2-0 against and hold on to the win...Greece and Bulgaria no dey that conversation.....na Germany, Argentina,Brazil,France,Italy, Netherland,Belgium,Spain,Portugal, Croatia,England we wan use do that experiment...Not Iceland,Greece and Bulgaria,🙂

The same Greece we no fit beat in 2010. Abeg forget matter, you guys like to run down eagles achievement where other African teams fail, if Senegal had beaten Norway will you say Norway is not a powerhouse? You all will use it instead to trash and run down the eagles

forgiveness:
Watch and judge.

😂 the defender had touched the ball before contact. Salah was trying to be clever but he was caught in his own game

😂 her beef is simple; mbappe is a french citizen! That is her pain if you read all what she wrote!

Odunayaw:
Missed the live match but I've gone to watch the whole replay make person no piss for my leg and tell me it's raining.

Egypt would have made me crash out terribly for deceiving us by taking a 2 goal lead. Where is the dark arts they love to use in Africa

No agenda should be tolerated. The overturned Zico goal mirrors Osimhen's own at 2023 AFCON SF against SA. And there was no foul on Salah, it is rather the shirt tug by McAllister that was worthy of review.
It is the misuse of VAR that has made people expect a foul from just anything.

Na Salah kill Egypt today nothing anyone go tell me, na that dark art e Dey try use to get penalty but it backfired on him the player was even still far a bit from him all he needed to do with this kind of ability was to keep possession and perhaps drag the defender to the byline, if am the coach I will put the blame where it belongs rather than shouting about rigging of any match.

I remember our match against France in 2014 keshi put the blame straight on enyeama for the first goal we conceded he no even bother talk story about how rough the French were that day. Sometimes the decisions made by players who are suppose to be leaders on the pitch decides crucial Games.

minsfelix2:
Ok bro you have a point and I agree partially to those points...but but Before they reached that semifinals, they were just like a glorified Tunisia of Africa(7world cups appearance 5group stage exit, one R16 and 1SF)
Greece no b world cup material..they are just like Iceland that beat England and came to Meet super eagles and chop 2-0....

Before you go further that Bulgarian team was the reason France was not at the 94 World Cup! The same Greece we could not beat them at the 2010 World Cup and you say the 2004 euro champions are not World Cup material? Common

minsfelix2:
Bulgaria and Iceland 🤣🤣.....we are talking about taking a commanding lead against Argentina, Belgium....world cup Powerhouse and maybe second class world cup Powerhouse...

Bulgaria were semi finalists at the 94 World Cup before you go too far, even Greece we beat 2-0 in 94 became European champions in 2004, with some experienced players from that 94 team. Only Morocco and Ghana have surpassed or equal our winning record in the World Cup despite our absence in how many editions now. That tells you the true pedigree of the eagles. Both Egypt and Morocco could not beat this current eagles in regulation time at the Afcon so what are we saying

Dannyxy:
have this settled, if Nigeria is leading Argentina even France 2-0 at 86th minute they are not coming back to win us, forget that thing, Nigerian can see out games in competitive football if they have played well. If we are playing well and we are 2-0 up in 86th minute, a Nigeria team will see out that game.

To beat the eagles is simple, seize the midfield from them and they will find it difficult to score but if they find their way and get two goals ahead of you, you ain’t coming back to win that game! Simple

The Eagles should never be used to justify Senegal and Egypt disgraceful outing!

M7eve:
Gbam. Exactly. I'm praying to see us take a 2 goal lead against Argentina our Boogeyman at the world cup.... Bro, Argentina has continuously dealt with us , so if we take for once beat them in a WC that's great . And If we take a two goal lead against them, bro, up until the final whistle I'm still not believing we will beat them. So that's just the point. Let's take a two goal lead against Portugal even as terrible as they were in this word cup or even Spain. So long as it is not 90 minutes I'm not trusting the players on that. It's as simple as that. Because it is a rare deal to find ourselves in that position at first. And that a big deal to see it through

All na imagination bruv 😂 all the times Argentina beat us at the World Cup they went ahead to show how stronger they are!

This is a weaker Argentine team we are seeing these days yet our African brothers can’t take advantage I can still pardon Cape Verde due to inexperience but shame on Salah he’s the cause of their loss today. And please you guys don’t bring the eagles into it to justify the foolishness we saw from Egypt

Samueltemi337:
If if if if if if

😂 😂 😂 😂

My brother please let them dream on

minsfelix2:
I'm praying it happens we take a 2-0 lead against a world top 15 team and still hold on to win the game, cos since I was born and now I am getting old I have never seen a super eagles team take a commanding 2-0 lead and hold on to winning it.
The one I watched was coming from behind to win Spain 3-2(anyways that's a big one too shaa)

Are you for real or you’re imagining things, the eagles beat Bulgaria 3-0 in 94 they never came back, Iceland nko even the 1-0 sef, we beat the Bulgarians 1-0 in 98 and they could not level up.

The logic again is simple if the eagles are going lose a game it will be written all over the match once we are struggling to score or we are on the back foot then you know the result already

mank1234:
If the match continued for another 15min we could have.

If is not reality as it never happened

Something never happen una dey crucify Super Eagles. If Egypt had won today, nothing we no go hear; dem lose, some of us wan rewrite history say e don happen before? Nigerians I give una hand.

mank1234:
It's not true.

Was it not our team that crumbled against Tunisia after going +3 against them in past AFCON. Na final whistle bail us out.

Did we lose?

minsfelix2:
You have a point sha....but these scenarios happens mainly when we are playing teams underneath us I quality

Yes, because we have this arrogant attitude that teams beneath us can't come back. But dem no born Cameroon or other big teams in Africa for us to be leading them by 2-0 and they come back. This is why Osimhen was angry at Afcon during the Mozambique game, but we crucified him for trying to make the team more alert after the second game against Tunisia in the first round

Any Nigerian team that scores two goals most of the time scores more to increase the tally, except we are just too wasteful,

Pass the state police in your state; that's the power you have now

If the Super Eagles are going to lose a game, the signs will be there throughout the game; either we can't score, or we concede and can't level up

minsfelix2:
By 75th mins Osimehn would have been subbed out and he will now join Eric Chelle on the touchline dishing out panic instructions when the score like don dey like 2-1...then by 89th mins boom Argentina don score 2-2 or any other powerful world class team....and then in the additional mins boom dem knack us 3-2 and then final whistle...you will now see Osimehn limping with iceblock tied on his feet para-ing for all his team😂🤣🤣.....all of us here for Nairaland go com dey para and wail up and down.....Aforbear will now appear from no where and scream
Aveeeraaaaaaaaaaageeeee🤣🤣

We will never throw away a lead like that; we go drag am reach penalties. One strength we have is the ability to slow the game down; it's when we are just leading by a goal that we can crumble

minsfelix2:
Afcon go reach everyone go dey form Jagaban🤣😂...
gone are the days when 2-0 is a comfortable win especially for Africans against Elite teams..
Dem swear for us say make we no fit beat world class teams?.... nonsense!!!

Abuse Super Eagles till tomorrow; these African teams are no better

codemaniacs:
if it was over-confidence then they will not park the bus...

it is mainly not mastering possession football and refereeing favoring opposing teams...

Argentina and Messi is making money for the competition so it will be bad for business if Argentina don't reach the final or semi-final..

I don’t do conspiracy theories, any team can lose, the German team is full of stars but they are home now including the Dutch team also full of world class players! Both teams are that valuable too like the Argentine team.

solonnachi:
Africa my Africa.....
I think we need to hold a CAF conference on how to hold unto leads without conceding?

Let every country face their shit jor! Nonsense

Even Messi is crying know how close he was to going home, Salah missed a chance to get this over him

AndSunGorilla:
no, that last goal was on salah, there was no foul there.

Don’t mind him jare he blew up this game, he fell so easily looking for what I don’t understand

codemaniacs:
with all the ojoro they are doing to favor Argentina...

fifa is a useless organization..

Forget ojoro over confidence is what has killed both Senegal and Egypt you have no business at the world if you blow up a 2-0 lead from the 80th minute.

If fifa reduces African slots at the World Cup I won’t be surprised we should be doing better than this. You’ve got to be world beaters to be taken seriously

minfelix:
Lets see how VAR will handle this similar situation of Nigeria vs South Africa game at afcon 2023…after Osimhen scored a goal and it was reverted for a penalty for SA🤣🤣

For where? 😂

See as Salah fall down that caused that counter attack

This is madness

Dannyxy:
Its easy to win games man

But they want to seat and take press after press, hold the ball and frustrate the team but ni

The tricks the North Africans used so well on the continent they seem to forget it at the World Cup! Rubbish
