Heard Tunisia 🇹🇳 is ready to hijack chelle from Nigeria 🇳🇬 with 100k dollars per month ,


Dlaw prepare my cv for takeover

so pe o ti lo. I know the nff will bungle this. Any serious nation would have extended the coach contract immediately after yesterday game after all semi final was the target if am right.

CornOak:
Morocco is playing in the same stadium (Prince Moulay Abdullah) for the sixth consecutive time in this AFCON.

CAF sef na mumu Morocco quarterfinal final should have been moved elsewhere after all Nigeria as group stage winners also played the first 4 matches in Fez until yesterday game when they moved to Marrakesh. Poor organisation there! A different venue would have helped another part or region of the host country to have a personal feel of their team to foster greater unity for their country. But wetin I know sef

This one na over do o! 😂 make this reporter no try am against Morocco dem go remove im teeth 😂

Calvin Bassey plays central defense like it’s a free role. classy Center Back entering his prime. He’s going to get even better. Anticipation, pace, power, aerial dominance, passing. He’s got the assets . Frightening potential

Both him and Iwobi Fulham could have a problem by the end of the season to hold on to them especially if they win Afcon

Even Netflix 😂 omo

mrwilliams9:
Not everything is about money…if he takes Nigeria to a title, that increases his stock as a manager.

His value now have so increased that if by mistake we lose him he will get another job immediately.

Remote work

😂 The difference between me and the Nigeria goalkeeper: I watch the match on TV, he watches it from the field.

copied!

TheSuperNerd:
Algeria coach, Vladimir Petkovic, after losing 2-0 to Nigeria in the AFCON2025 quarter-final in Marrakech:

“Do I have to tell the truth or should I be political [about the match]? Nigeria deserved to win this match. They were better than us. It was difficult to get into this match… We were hit left and right…”

😂 he saw terrible things

Observation

Cc: Kog45, Mujtahida, Thesupernerd, Thegoodjoe

I discovered that alllllllll the ex players that ended up as assistant managers to a foreign coach(let me even add the local coaches too) usually end up showing they learnt nothing from their superiors regarding the game.


I can mention almost half a dozen and none of them even went on to get a better coaching experience, job with even the cadet teams. They just fade off into oblivion, go into punditry, or like finidi, make balderdash statements about formation not being important despite seeing all under Jpes. Even in the punditry, they still act like they archaic compared to their mates of their eras. I dunno


So why waste the spot? Or is the spot on the coaching crew simply ceremonial, like for nostalgic effect on the players in camp or what?


Where is Yobo today?


What do you guys think?

They are all arrogant people who feel because they played the game at the highest level they can’t submit themselves to proper learning I mean an amokachi was assistant to even keshi how come he’s not even good enough to be producing the kind of results Chelle is producing. What they do mostly is to criticise the current generation of players to make it look as if no one else can be better. Honestly I am ashamed on their behalf.

solonnachi:
CAF should take action on these Algerian players who wanted to attack the referee and some of our players. What kind of barbaric attitude is this?

Luca Zidane s'est battu avec Fisayo Dele-Bashiru en fin de match... En deuxième partie de vidéo, le corps arbitral pris à partie par le staff algérien.

Fin de match catastrophique à Marrakech... https://t.co/ncMM5Ovt9a pic.twitter.com/Np456X9Vne

If we beat Morrocco omo fight will break out on the streets. I hope security will be guaranteed, especially for Nigerians in Morocco

So Nwabali is also out of the next game?

elyte89:
Haba …y? Dem b our brodas na

brodas what abeg no make me vex o coachee! dem be your brothers when they flog una last final, phew!

Ivory Coast out, am so happy 😀

greypencils:
You just have to hate North African football. If the fans are not using lasers on the eyes of the opposing players, the footballers themselves are faking injury to waste time. Very irritating set of people.

That’s how they are very bad competitors it’s just that I want Ivory Coast out if not would have preferred them but this Egypt will be trounced by Senegal am sure.

Egypt Dey mess up what the hell was that

3-2

Unlimited22:
And what a goal it was.

e don blur for Ivory Coast 😂 with all the possession wey dem get!

Na wetin Mali suppose do last Afcon be this

Blueelf:
Trust me bro, most teams in world football want to play Nigwria to test their mettle and out c9aches would want it to test tactics

NFF would be getting a lot of friendly invitations should we dominate the Semi Finals and finals and go on to win this tournament

Nations with African countries in their group will want to play the eagles.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Osi chichi 😂 this boy no well!

Salah is the man 3-1

TheSuperNerd:
Yan Diomande's wicked ball finally brings CIV back. Come on fight! You may be young upfront but u have the quality against this Egyptian side.

Still wary of the inexperience factor though but nice fightback CIV. Dont stop there for goodness sake. Stay on the front foot in their bloody half.

HT Egypt 2-1 CIV.

Egypt now has 183 Afcon goals.

CIV now climbs to 161 goals at the Afcon, 1 above Nigeria's 160 which we attained today.

Egypt will be stupid to allow this game slip through their hands. CIV out, please.

Mujtahida:
That match against Tunisia. Goke7 don already sack Chelle. Me, it was our first match. I wasn't impressed.

Yes, I was mad with the coach, especially with those substitutions against Tunisia, but now I am his number one fan, me sef no go ever tolerate any slander against am again.

Am 100% satisfied with this team and coach now, no matter what happens next, and I will be here defending the coach and the team.

It takes huge character for a team that had disappointing games in the WCQ series to come up now with these king of spectacular performances, it's simply magical, just how do you imagine osayi and bruno coming up with such a kind of performance omo their babalawo strong o!. This is 100% score for the eagles no matter what comes next.

CornOak:
Amad Diallo reduces the deficit for CIV.

Egypt 2 - 1 CIV

Make Egypt no fall hand o, I need CIV out tonight

CIV put one back 2-1

CIV is seeing red 2-0

lbrichman2:
The referee was massive today!
Very decisive and refused to be bullied by the Algerians
Took charge of the game really well and asserted his authority..

Massive performance by the referee!
Maximum respect!

Our boys too ensured that they started talking to the referee from the first minute to prevent the Algeriansfrom intimidating him

elyte89:
I am expecting the next line of statement


We have not faced d real test , na from Tunisia 🇹🇳 we don Dey hear dt statement 😎

Odunayaw:
Egypt don score ke

Ah

make CIV dey go house abeg I want them out

TheSuperNerd:
@emboldened... At halftime, I said Iwobi will keep doing what he is doing. He will find that gap and he did brilliantly for Nigeria's 2nd goal.

The Algerians were too careful in the 1st half and sometimes lucky when some of Iwobi's final third line breakers didnt punish them.

Iwobi, take your huge flowers for consistently probing and exploiting the gaps in between the Algerian midfield-defensive lines and the half spaces especially on the medial left side. A true Eagle Eye.

And let me that defensively, Iwobi put it his best defensive shift of the Afcon so far today. Kudos Iwobinho!

Transfer fee for Iwobi for don double now o 😂

AndSunGorilla:
Ndidi was booked for time wasting abi? Though he was injured and didn't even return to finish the game, the referee erred on that one I believe.
Meanwhile some Algerian fans dey claim dem bribe referee against them. Was that a handball against Ajayi in the 1st half?

Looks like but we too can make a claim on that goal line clearance so it’s balanced make Algeria go sleep jor dem for collect like four sef but for Akor Adams wasteful chances
