charlesemeka85:
Alex Iwobi is damn good. A typical Arsene Wenger and Arsenal groomed player

Fulham may struggle to hold to to Iwobi at this rate

JohnBullMySon:
Really overrated these Algerians

They are not overrated the eagles are just clearly better

Akor Adams wan bring laliga into this Afcon, placement football

Beautiful

Great execution by the boys

CornOak:
Lookman's press and ball recovery is insane.

He looks tired I hope he can continue

World class finish

He’s done it again

CapitalCee:
That ball on Ajayi is a Penalty oo

I guessed that’s why the goal line clearance stuff was not given though from what I saw the whole ball didn’t cross the line

owbabs:
We escaped a penalty

Looks like but we may not escape in the second half if we are not careful.

jihday:
Algeria lucky to still be in this game

Too lucky and undeserved

Akor Adams may need to redeem himself in the second half

Fine play by the boys. Second half we need to finish this business

Procashtips:
This is not a good sign at all.

63%-37%

Ball possession, yet no goal

We need prayers and luck now hope it’s still our day

We need prayers now we’ve done almost everything right

Akor should be told this is not laliga where you’re looking for placement for the goal this is the Afcon

Akor should be scoring that at this stage

Starboytwo:
We need a goal now…

Algerians are good in soaking up pressure

We need a goal in this half God abeg

jihday:
How can CAF not have goal line technology 😕

It’s a shame

The whole ball didn’t cross the line

Great game so far with the kind of opposition we have

CornOak:
Great shot, Lookman.👍

Yes we need to test the keeper more

CapitalCee:
They have blocked that Iwobi passing lane. We need to use another method

Yeah perhaps Iwobi should switch positions

mrwilliams9:
Algeria getting their feet back in this game. We need to get Iwobi more of the ball

Yeah the Algerians are settling into the game but I like how calm we are

All the best to the boys, go do it for mama!

Ire o!

- SA hosted and won in 1996, tried it again in 2013 and failed
-Ghana hosted and won it in 1963 and 1978, God catch them for 2008

Kudos to Cameroon on 5 Afcon medals, second behind Egypt, non was won as a result of them being the host…the ones they even hosted sef they didnt reach the final(1974 and 2021)

Morocco hosted and failed in 1988, e b like say na them get this 2025 oo

If you no get PhD for research go and enrol now 😂 you too much.

TheSuperNerd:
You know speaking of 1980, it is interesting how our 1980 win started with us beating Tanzania in the first game; then we beat Morocco in the semis and you know the rest.

De ja vu far from home.

hmmm I pray 🙏 so I will be the happiest seeing the Moroccan players, fans and their entire nation sorrowing and weeping.

Truth is any big soccer nation hosting the Afcon will do anything to win it. Na we fvck up not winning in 2000. Would have been 4 titles now. Phew! Countries like Cameron, Egypt even CIV have all used hosting privileges to increase the number of titles even Algeria first Afcon win was as host. We too did it in 1980 but failed in that 2000 edition which still hurt till tomorrow. Wishing the eagles all the best in their quest in this edition.

Mujtahida:
I was surprised when the guys on the hindsight podcast mentioned it in their latest edition that our players were fearful in that match against Congo.

That day, it was that fear that I saw in our players eyes that made me give up.

But seriously so far in this competition our boys have played with more confidence than what we saw against Congo and I expect nothing less in their match tomorrow. The coach too by now am sure knows all the players better now on individual basis and will unleash the best of them on the pitch tomorrow.

TheSuperNerd:
You did not mention Osimhen. Goke... kilonshele? Abi no be experienced head again?

😂 I no wan trigger anybody. Make peace reign abeg

Mujtahida:
What those girls did that day is incredible. Their mentality was cold as steel.

I doubt if our guys have that kind of mental fortitude. See how they were panicking the day we played Congo.

And that’s what Segun Odegbami is also saying here about playing with confidence and with no fear!
