Lookman is the only CAF rep on the Balon d'or list.


Watch as CAF will soon play funny and pick one of those Moroccans or Senegalese. He's undisputed to me.

As for female category... The Oshoala era has come to an end and there's not even an exceptional cadet squad player that's showing any sort of promise to reach these heights.

If CAF no crown am na their wahala be that, we go crown am ourselves, their father!

Mujtahida:
I like that he made three subs at once. It was like adding atarodo to soup. He cook well. E dey sweet my belly

Na real atarodo, that’s why I tried cooling some guys down here when they were complaining when I saw bashiru and Osi warming up. Omo AE finish work with those substitutions.

Bannedlargejr:
Yea, but Benin is a small team shikena. Good game by our boys but tamper the hype

There’s no hype bruv, if the team play well we praise them if they don’t we bash them but not all of us are cynics

Bannedlargejr:
For scoring against backwater Benin? Everyone knows that he is a king of small teams but let’s play Ghana in a WCQ or Afcon final Na O ti lo. Good game by osimehn sha

The Benin beat our silly ass months back with a former ballon dor nominee as coach. Guy just rest and sip some tea

Mujtahida:
That goal is like a thief stealing meat from pot. Man snuck in there like sniper. Real striker's instinct.

Na ballon dor nominee we Dey talk about o, those wey nominate am see wetin many of us no see

Mujtahida:
Be like na im Twitter antics vex na im dey do charlesemeka85 but we should give him time. He was in good position but fluffed his lines. We need to encourage him. We need all our men sharp.

Boni na asset, he’s no fluke o. If Boni was in Afcon we would have seen more goals from the eagles. He was a major actor in the scoreline for today though many may disagree

Danielnino00:
According to the match stats, we completed 435 passes today.. I don't think we have reached that number in recent games.. at the AFCON in particular, I doubt we completed up to 300 passes in a game..

that being said, I don't think this 2 man midfield will benefit us in the long run, especially with Iwobi starting.... Iwobi is a fantastic player most of the time for the SE, but he isn't a workaholic, and partnering him with Ndidi or any other DM will lead to both gassing out quicker... Eguavon needs to reconsider..

I wasn’t surprised with those stats when you factor in what we played in the first half the eagles have not been that sharp in a long while with fast recovery runs and progression it was so lovely to the eyes, hope our tiki taka fans here were impressed.

For the midfield am not sure any eagles coach will want to sacrifice any of our upfront players to add to the midfield. Our strength is still upfront but perhaps as the game wind down then I think your suggestion should be considered

isan:
Dele bashiru took the midfield from benin , he turned the game around for Nigeria

When I saw him warming up I knew the match was done. Kudos to Eguavoen, he really saved enough fire on the bench. I give him his flowers for today

Odunayaw:
Ogun should be working on the list of those who doubted Osimhen by now.

e Dey hungry me to do IG live o

Mujtahida:
I was saying to charlesemeka85 that while it appears on paper that we have attackers, I necessarily don't think so because most of them apart from Osimhen and Lookman most of them are not reliable.

I just hope that Boniface settles in and gives us that much needed bite

Boniface will come good, he’s an important player in this set up. Pray Lookman doesn’t get injured what are your other options.

chrisooblog:
OsIMhEN iS OVEraTED. WhY dOES hE EVen stART sEf?

Thank God for Lookman finally some consistently reliable to take the goal scoring burden of Victor.

We have a loaded attack to be too reliant on Oshimen. I loved that osihmen started from the bench in this game.

And point of correction osihmen is not overrated if he didn’t score the game would have ended 1-0

TheSuperNerd:
Do you know Guardiola?

If you see Guardiola, you see me.

Eguavoen doing what Finidi could not do. BEATING ROHR LIKE PIKIN.

His starting 11 was on point, reserved some fire 🔥 on the bench. The boniface people were complaining about was part of the script, wear the defence out and bring in more firepower later. Very apt

May God punish Napoli and Atalanta for denying these boys cool transfers

All those Oshimen curses on IG may it follow them, awon werey

mrwilliams9:
Where was this performance against Benin in WCQ??!?!

Have you forgotten that formation doesn’t matter?

Kog45:
Osimhen sending strong signal to Turkey

Make I talk wetin Dey mind to Napoli?

Should I? Beg me o! 😜

That’s what it means to have ballon dor nominees back to back

Their father!

The king is back

charlesemeka85:
I pray it doesn’t hurt the team

Our midfield is more or less open now with ndidi the only tackler

Looks like ndidi is asking to be subbed

charlesemeka85:
this guys attitude and body language in this game is very annoying

He will come good, remember he wasn’t in afcon

charlesemeka85:
See nonsense wey boniface play 😳

Boni don vex this my bros today. Am begging on his behalf Biko 😜

Una wey still Dey watch make Una update us our livestream just Dey break anyhow

humility33:
Bro na when iwobi don tire u will now bring in oshimen who will feed him with balls to score?

I saw bashiru warming up make Una cool down we got this

BankyGee:
Iwobi dey pass ball abeg 🔥

The guy don Dey impress me lately

humility33:
Bros we're wasting our corners

Oshimen would've convert one of this

Are you sure?

Omo my livestream don off light o which kind nonsense be this

Enoughpull:
Boniface should be yanked off for Taiwo /VO. He's got zero bite

No, not too soon, he’s doing what VO does by distracting the defenders. Make Una no spoil better soup o

maidaboi:
Ademola lookman just show us why he is currently the best player in Africa

What a goal

Hope nobody go tell us soon say he’s not world class, na dat thing Dey pain person o.

Person dribble four players score, I no know wetin remain again o

Bassey is on a yellow hope the coach keeps one eye on him

chuks404:
no chief u don't get. The only boniface is having there is missing chances. I believe he will score. See ee, look at boniface movements, his dropping deep to l create option. Osihmen wont do that.

Boni just need to calm down like Lookman he will score. Apart from the missed chances I have no issues with him so far

This was a nice half I knew something will give in when I saw Aina joining the attack.

lbrichman2:
Benin have us exactly where they want us
343 is not working
We need more midfielders and we need to hold the ball more.

Are you sure? It’s been long I saw a super eagles with quick recovery and faster progression make we no lie o

humility33:
They're playing with no urgency

Cool down, they have responded
