Besides Bassey, Ajayi and Igho did we go with another centre back?

and now Bassey misses the next game

9JAMac10:
How on earth was that a yellow card against Calvin bassey

why is he in this game

Hope the captain band will be a reminder to osihmen that he’s on a yellow card!

chrisooblog:
Yes, they most likely will be cleared before round two games commence.

It’s only if one yellow card was collected in the first stage and the second one in a knockout stage that the one in the first stage will be cancelled. If both cards were collected in the first stage the next game no matter what that player will be suspended

Danielnino00:
Lookman, Nwabali, Osimhen and Ajayi are on yellow card...
If they pick another booking today, they will miss the round of 16

We can only hope that none of these players will start today’s game (that we are not chasing or looking for anything) but then we may be in for another surprise and later say lessons will be learnt for the next game 😂

bros what whenever we lose a match,people in this forum will always look for one or two things to hinge blame on…..That game was ours for the taking…..wether ref bias or not, a good sound team will beat that CIV team…our yeye jpes tactics coupled with over usage of players made us loose that final…e no ojoro anything….CIV won that final clean with clean goals…super eagles started pegging back when CIV found their mojo in that final…not that there was a penalty call for us that was not given….or we scored a goal that was cancel…or they gave CIV a dubious penalty to win us….those guys calmed down studied us, came extra psyched up and fired us wetin no good…that final was a balanced final…

This your current eagles may not even reach the final this time around, why don’t you wait till the end of this Afcon before you conclude.

minfelix:
they don’t need to get to the final, make dem no just meet team wey better pass them, i never see ojoro wey dem wan do to stop them…South Africa wan kill host Egypt in2019 afcon

The best team don’t win tournaments most times. CIV was not the best team in the last tournament in fact the current team is way better than the team that won the Afcon as hosts. Lots of factors play out in winning a tournament (both off and off the pitch and yes including officiating) even when the eagles won in 2013 they were not the best team. CIV with drogba and yaya toure were much better but were beaten by the eagles. The better sides don’t win always.

minfelix:
so how did we now beat them in first leg…bros they wired us fair and square..no refree ojoro wateva

The final match was full of ref bias and it was well narrated and commented upon on this thread you can go back and check. No host will get to the final and not do everything to win. There’s also pressure on the referee anytime the host is in any crucial stage of a tournament especially when they come across a very strong opponent. At the group stage when we met Ivory Coast we weren’t considered a threat after we had a shaky start in our first game it was after we won Ivory Coast in that group game we went on a roll to the final. All odds were stacked against us in that final and that’s the disadvantage of playing the host in a final.

ChrisKels:
Some goals are to sweet to be cancelled.
I would award that crazy offside bicycle kick too.

😂 😂 😂

Clint02:
That's not nice. Is it a must for the host to carry the cup?

Except they go out in the knockout stages once they are in the semis it’s over!

AndSunGorilla:
They beat us fair and square. CIV beat Mali and Senegal fair and square. Against Mali, Mali decided to lose a penalty, had a one-man advantage for about 80 minutes and couldn't still win.
Against Senegal, Senegal wasted chances to score more goals and CIV won.
Now against us, we were completely outplayed.

Officiating was terrible in first half as they were kicking our players all over the place and the refs looked on which made jpes furious and got a card. How’s that fair?

Off the pitch many Nigerians couldn’t get into the stadium despite having tickets. Some had to disguise as Ivorians to get in. So much for fairness indeed

Morocco has the playbook already. Don’t worry

Setaleonoz:
So var are now awarding offside goal

No VAR replay details to confirm if it was offside or not. Terrible

Even last Afcon was not this bad. We saw all VAR replays and details and all the lines drawn to confirm every offside incidents

chuks404:
I hope we are not meeting this people soon. Because Omo, CAF is bent on giving them this cup. Because everything just dey work for their favour

They gave it to Ivory Coast too so why not Morocco!

chuks404:
they said na goal ooooo. Na wa ooo. They should give the cup to morocco

Una never see anything make knockout stage start e go be like film 😂

How is that a goal? eweee 😂

Offside bicycle kick 😂

TheSuperNerd:
The Zambians are easy meat. So would be a smooth win for Morocco as I already called 2 days ago. The Chipolo Polo are the worst side in that group.

For a former Afcon champion this is sad

GanagiBitrus:
Me too. Oliseh is by far, the best Commentator in the whole world.

😂 😂 😂

Morocco is cooking 2-0

Kilishihunter:
Finidi God will george you

😂 no let oliseh hear you o

Make Zimbabwe Dey go house they are not serious

TheSuperNerd:
I had to go find the snapshots. Na wicked young man.

You see why some of us have problems with tikitaka? This is what you miss out of the beautiful game

See Zimbabwe silly error 😂

TheSuperNerd:
Mehn what this young man, Tawanda Maswanhise did to SA's Golden Boy of defence, Mbokazi is pure wickedness. Sent him to Bloemfontein.

All the way from Zimbabwe's bench and Motherwell of Scotland to absolutely cooking that SA defence. 'Made that attacking move look so easy.

Played only 2 mins vs Egypt and was benched vs Angola. A teammmate of 2019 U17 Class' Ibrahim Said at club level.

That Tawanda guy should be arrested for attempted murder 😂 what the hell was that

FiveFootNinja:
That Zimbabwe forward don almost bend Mbokazi leg with that run before the equalizer. They are always sweet to watch against banana banana. 😂😂😂

That goal made remember that messi goal against Bayern Munich where he made boateng or so half dead 😂

minfelix:
it will really take a miracle, i feel the 31 years record will be broken this year…The last non North African country to win afcon on the North African soil is Nigeria since the Tunisia 1994 Afcon

Tunisia 1994 =Nigeria
Tunisia 2004 = Tunisia
Egypt 2006 = Egypt
Egypt 2019 = Algeria
Morocco 2025 = ?
This Morocco team looks ordinary to me jare, if Mali can play them that way..they are not too good jare…

Every antics will be deployed to ensure that trophy doesn’t leave North Africa. Morocco will do everything under the sun to host and win just like Ivory Coast did last Afcon. Even those wey get tickets no go enter stadium watch match 😂

9JAMac10:
Watched Algeria vs Burkina Faso, and all i can say is that AFCON referees favors North African countries in this competition. Any small contact yellow they gave a yellow card or check for a red card.

So you think Afcon will be hosted in North Africa and they will easily allow any sub Sahara country to win it. It will take serious prayers and fasting for any non North African country to win this Afcon. We should thank God non of our players was red carded on Saturday night especially those bad tackles by Ajayi and Nwabali

And for diving carry am give Victor Moses, bro dive pass divers sef
