Wow, the hunt for a major senior trophy since 1982 continues.

oga no rub this thing in nah, haba you no get pity?

Danielnino00:
Lol...So it's Southern Africa that has overtaken us ?
Because Nigeria lost to SA and couldn't beat Madagascar?

Wake up to the reality bro. southern African teams are known to play quick country attacking football. they rely on pace a lot.. no be today e start. .even Zambia and Zimbabwe play like that...and I dare say Mozambique too...
But how far have they gone??
Maybe at club level they are better. .but west Africa still run the game...

the southies can never be a yardstick on how the game is improving in africa, it's because the west africans now play crap that makes it look like as if they are catching up. I watched how Senegal struggled to beat Kenya abeg

Danielnino00:
I thought ur argument was about West Africa being poor at this afcon....no bring world cup talk enter am... Even at that, West African teams have reached the world cup quarter final twice.. Nigeria and Senegal could have made it to the next round last year if not for luck...

West Africa still run the game bro...except for the league... the rest are still behind... they ain't catching up anytime soon...

what am saying is this, because of the crap west african sides are playing now, mark my words, they can never do well in any world cup again. The standard is getting worse simple.

What did teams like mali, Ivory coast and Ghana play today? are they not the power houses? even camroon and Nigeria is worrisome

comodo:
West Africans have a problem. It has been there all the while which is hugging d hall, then dribble before making a pass. We have been lucky over d years cos the other sides were not as improved as the west was.
This time South side has developed team play & quick interchange of passes. Since west no longer produce good dribblers, they re suffering for it.
Ngr & Guinea couldn't beat Madagascar cos they re always cot flatfooted with quick ball interchange.

God bless you jare

comodo:
Still on still, of d 7 teams that have qualified. Westside have locked down 4. South side 2, North side 1. GH is picking the 5th slot 2nite. 5/8. Maybe others are dipping more than the west. But I think Southies re improving with speed of light. They re playing with one particular football philosophy.

which yeye slot

both Ghana and Ivory coast have been crap today

Danielnino00:
Judging from the quality of the other teams in this tournament,can u honestly say they have been better than the west Africans?
We failed to beat Madagascar, so what? No be today small team dy give the big boys problem??
A star studded Morocco team failed to beat Benin republic!!
The fact that more West African teams qualified for the tournament and are in the quarter final itself shows that we still run the turf.. at least on African level...

oga the standard of play is poor, reason we are no longer doing well at the world cup. this afcon is generally poor abeg

Oga are you satisfied with what the west africans are playing in this afcon including this Ghana?

Let me remind you that both Guinea and Nigeria could not beat madagascar o

lexyman:
The problem is that Africans now plays for the money ... and our league is nothing to write about ... compared to the North African league and South African league , and most of the players from the mentioned league don’t play abroad except very few of them . Until we develop our league ... the problem will continue

Hmmm well said

lexyman:
Even me self done tire ... their match done turn sleeping pills ... done already dose off

E be like say anytime ghana dey attack, their leg go freeze, see chance wey jordan throw away

lexyman:
Sad,Ghana will eventually win , cos ones they equalize in situation like this they become energetic and ready to die ...


I like their fighting spirit .

Yet to see any energy o.

Apostle Suleiman talks anyhow? Reason i do not take him seriously.

What does he mean by they know the kind of churches they have boldness to go to.

In trying to support rccg, he has insulted them.

Odunayaw:
it seems the only west African side to come to this Afcon to shine shoes was Guinea

You dey mind them? Waste of space.

But guys let us think of this, the quality of play by west african sides is beginning to dip seriously. Looks like west africa do not produce quality players anymore.

Teams like ivory coast, Nigeria, senegal and Ghana are no longer impressive in afcon. Something is wrong somewhere. Looks like they cannot produce the toures, drogbas, kanoute, papa diop, kanu, finidi, oliseh, yeboah, abedi pele anymore. Even a Guinea produced a titi camara.

West African football is dying.

To buttress my point further, asamoah gyan still plays for Ghana, what?

To think that a substitute brought in to defend a lead will now score an own goal.

Chai. Village people things

Fair for Ghana, that disallowed goal in the first half was not to be.

They have an opportunity now to redeem themselves

Tunisia Bleep up o

Ghana don equalize o

Arabs and their tricks of time wasting sha, they can never change

Be like say our west African brothers wan go house o

wuyexzy:
Why was it disallowed?

Ref claimed handball but there was nothing like that

Hope Ghana wins, the disallowed goal was unfortunate

Where is Amosun

Make our charly boys no fall hand tonight o

some of these african teams, na gra gra be their game, bye bye mali make una borrow sense next time

darkelf:
In other news:

Syria 5:2 North-Korea

Battle of the bombers

mhen i no fit go stadium go watch this kind match o

mali have themselves to blame

Sportilitica:
Ighalo can learn a thing or two from this Malian number 9. They play similarly however he plays so well with the team and passes with ease to his teammates. That is all I would need from Ighalo.
NB: He is already doing the scoring so this would be a welcome addition.

the one Ighalo did for Iwobi na wetin?

this malian team is fumbling jor, creating all the chances but can't convert one

elyte89:
Same way leceister won d league...dey re pretenders, dey re pretenders, na so PPu dey talk ,dey will go back to deir normal position 15th/16th,na so dem talk,till e clear for deir eye one month to d title decider

Folks always forget that it is eleven against eleven in a game. It is also what happens on the field of play on match day that decides games and not the big names of teams and players before kick off. Reason messi is yet to win any major trophy for his nation.

My late father used to say that your opponents on the field of play will not tie their legs to stones or blocks to play you.

Na 11vs 11 and everyone must answer their papa name. No be first to call police dey win case

robosky02:
and what has your seedof produce

A defending chaamp he reduce them to only first round


Amunike won _w7 for nigeria

Qualified tanzania for the first time in 39 years

You guys on nairaland are becoming too personal, when did seedorf become my seedorf. This is how someone referred to madagascar as my madagascar just because i commended them.

Pls let us grow up. I never referred to amuneke and siasia as yours. Let us learn to analyze each other views without going personal. I love the way you defended your view but it was unnecesary tagging seedorf to me. Very unecessary.

But honestly wetin these governors and co go do for egypt?

robosky02:
if I hear

Is he better thjan amunike or siasia

And what has siasia and amunek produce so far
