we need all the fresh legs now

Ppogbae:
We are not playing well at all. We are letting them walk all over us!

could it be fatigue?

COOL10:
As usual, Iwobi will always be the scapegoat for Nigerians.

Has he played well?

whoever score now wins

Rockyrascal:
We can't keep defending. We need to do more attacking

It's up to our players now

komekn:
Unfortunately no surprise we are too defensive

The 3-5--2 is not working

Where was Zaidu asleep ❓

SA exposed our defensive game and CIV has continued from there

may be Bassey needs to come off too, many errors by him

forgiveness:
Coach should have substituted Iwobi.

Exactly, we need Yusuf in now

Bassey making errors, could it be fatigue?

Nwabali can't use waste time tactics anymore o

CornOak:
Just imagine that intentional elbow foul from Kessie on Zaidu, no foul, no yellow, no VAR check.

CAF just destroyed what they built from the start of this tourney.

Shame.

big shame

Iwobi, na beg we dey beg o

against run of play

forgiveness:
Iwobi and Chucks are not in this game. They need to up their game.

Iwobi needs to go out, SA script all over again

komekn:
Who else thinks the referee is biased towards CIV ❓

we feared this

so CAF get agenda after all

dem wan provoke oshimen, why is the ref pushing him

na everything ref dey blow?

we need to settle into the game

alxx:
This Referee is giving them everything.

hmmm

Whatever happens today, I have to say, I'm very proud of the boys. Many of us, me included never expected them to make it that far, given their form before the start of the tournament, but they have proven us wrong. They have done incredibly well.
It won't be an easy match,but the never say die attitude of Nigerians will prevail!!

same here since they got to the semi-finals by beating Angola, I have been pleased with the team. I only hope we can manage success afterward

theophilusj31:
I have never seen Nigerians this optimistic b4 a match we were not this optimistic when we played Cameroon Angola or SA

na prophecy, once one prophet don prophesy na so our hope dey go up as a very religious people

COOL10:
The Ivorians will make a lot of mistakes today, but they'll also try to make our players commit unnecessary fouls and get red carded.


Let's not forget that this is Africa, and we're playing against the hosts, so it's safe to assume that tonight's officials will be against us, especially V.A.R.


We'll have a lot of chances when we counter attack. If we score those chances, we're definitely winning tonight.

they will just spoil the game then and prove Gary Neville wrong who feels the standard of officiating has been the best.

mrwilliams9:
Abeg, let’s be very very serious. The pressure is on CIV to win tomorrow. End of story.

After the fairy tale run they’ve had AND being the host country, the pressure is on them to deliver. They are riding on a serious high right now and are the favorites for this match, which I think works in Naija’s favor tbh. We’ve done well by flying under the radar and progressing steadily in this tourney.

I agree with you cos fairy tales and home support do not win tournaments, the last time Brazil hosted the World Cup they could not win, they even trounced 7-1 by the eventual winners Germany in the semi-final. Brazil was simply never good enough.

A team that lost two straight matches after their first game simply means they are not good enough either, people are just being emotional tipping CIV as winners and I understand with all the bad belle all over Africa, if players like drogba, yaya toure and the former big stars were in the team I for understand but this current team? haba it will be a disservice to Afcon if they win cos they were simply one of the weakest teams in the tournament. I like the way people are helping them to overhype themselves cos it will play favourably into our hands.

Ppogbae:
DRC's last two matches is leading me to believe that they were bought. How can a team humanely blow all those chances? It's mind boggling.

they've been playing like that all competition, shebi na we dey abuse oshimen

COOL10:
These Supersports commentators are just deceiving themselves.

you hear them abi, what else do you expect? na beef na the guy in the middle though I was surprised cos he's never been a naija fan. The other ones their beef against us no be today.

leathalbeast:
which guys are u even talking about ? All I know Is that I'm team ivory coast

which is a good sign for us

leathalbeast:
Tomorrow by this time Nigerians will be trolled around the world for losing to ivory coast.

we've missed you guys, thanks for the motivation and encouragement. I don dey ask for una since morning

M7even:
This coach is talking about scrapping 3rd place playoff, yet he is so excited about winning the bronze medal

The man is a confused old man, no mind am

Odunayaw:
Nwabali must win golden gloves. SE must get it for him

he has conceded the least of goals so far with just 2 while Ron Williams 3, hoping he doesn't concede tomorrow, he should win the golden gloves

Odunayaw:
DRC no deserve anything than ifọti and igabati

wallai, so useless

CornOak:
South Africa with the Bronze medal.

DRC don make Ron Williams mega star, useless DRC team
