Haaaa make una come hear talk ooo humility33 you say Aribo has not been in this match? No naaa.
Everybody has been in this match except Chukwueze

Aribo have been struggling from my observation
Maybe I will check the stats to cross check my view

safarigirl:
You see now that the '94 style is not so outdated

No it is not

Equeavon did a fantastic job
The Egyptian team have been very compact
If it was the Algeria that played this afternoon we were playing I am sure we would have whip them well

I am not scared again

Elock1:
they've not really passed to him.. Everyone locating simon

Aribo have been silent
He is not really in this game
Ejuke or Iwobi in that wing would have done better

isan:
So this are the north african teams y'all have been hyping

This one's even played better than Algeria
Algeria played nonsense this afternoon

12large1:
Ejuke would had done better at this game

Bro Moses Simon have really done well even better than Chuks on the other wing

Eawwal:
Awoniyi has been impressive, his movement is causing the Egyptian defence problem.

Yeah but he needs to put more force on his shots
There should be a rebound for a tap in

ChrisKels:
Thank you Austino D' Cerezo. This is how a Nigerian team plays. All the flops under Rohr now looking like world class players

Papi in all honesty the coach tried

Na I know how good Moses Simon is

This is the most interesting match so far

Nigeria is playing so well despite the fire brigade approach we had prior starting the tourney

Kudos to the coach and lad

I foresee us as the first Team to score 2 goals without PKs

ChrisKels:
I'm sorry if I was harsh bro. No reason am

No it's okay bro
We can't always agree but still when we disagree we do so in a civil and respectful way. I am glad we just did that

Well done Realtor

Let's go feast on the pharaohs

ChrisKels:
Guy, 90% of your posts here na complains upon complains

Good for your perception

ChrisKels:
I wouldn't wanna share same roof with someone like you, because I'm a bit tempered and it gets worse when I have a nagging woman around me.


You complain a lot tufiakwa

Oga go sit down
So I can't air my opinion again

I prefer he proves me wrong than for him to twart my expectations
That midfield I saw there is scary and appears lean

Danielnino00:
I'm not sure of this lineup... The midfield is lean...

That's why I laugh when Goodjoe was busy writing defending Equeavon supposed tactics and the input from the backroom staff

Well let's watch and see

I think this Coach Equeavon have a style of play
All he carries on his head is how the 1994 team plays and he still has gotten over it and wanna team up the current squad to play in like manner when everyone seems to have updated and add something new

Well let's support the team...me not expecting something different from the Equeavon I know

ChrisKels:
Link to Algeria match please?

Check hesgoal

JohnBullMySon:
If its amateur football, then what is Algeria playing? The attack still connects better than Algeria's star-studded one. Only Algeria's midfield was better in this first half. Attack and defence, sierra leone is played better.

Algeria is just a team I think have not gotten into the tournament proper...they may come good as soon as they click that box for Sierra Leone chances like this dont come often... you seize and make something most from it

JohnBullMySon:
If the attack is sustained, las las one go enter.

Who will give u that opportunity to keep misfiring

They're playing like palm wine tappers upfront
You take your chances against big team like this not the kind of amateur football they've been playing

Algeria may return in the second half to win this match

JohnBullMySon:
Sierra Leona has created more chances than Algeria in this game.

They're not serious
Their final decision have been poor they ought to be 2 goals up now
Them not been clinical in front of goal may return to hurt them....

Wait ooo na this Algeria team many dey hype here

ChrisKels:
Aribo has never had a good game against any African opposition. Keep your expectations in check

Aribo has had good games against Ukraine and Brazil sure he can have same against north Africa side...that plays more like Europeans

Aribo is not cut for physical foot ball somehow I hope he come good

AFCON 2022: Three reasons why Nigeria will Lose against Egypt Today
News Hub Creator

The Super Eagles of Nigeria will be playing theirfirst game in the Africa Cup Of Nations (AFCON) tournament today, and they will be facing a very tough opponent which happens to be The Pharoahs of Egypt.

This game will be a very tough test for both teams, as it may be the decider on who will finish in their group. But if care is not taken, Nigeria are likely to lose this match, and below are the three reasons why i think Nigeria will lose today's AFCON match against Egypt.

1. The Players are yet to understand the new coach's tactics.

The NFF just recently sacked the Nigerian national team coach, Gernot Rorh ahead of this crucial tournament, and it was not the best time to make that decision.

Eguavon who is the newly appointed coach will find it hard to implement his new tactics just ahead of a major tournament, as their was not enough time to prepare. No friendlies were played during that period in order to help the players get accustomed to the new coach's tactics and strategies, in order to understand them.

The coach overseeing his first game against Egypt in a tournament like AFCON will prove difficult for him, as the players are yet to understand his playstyle and tactics, thereby giving Egypt an advantage ahead of this game.

2. No Osimhen and Dennis in the Super Eagles squad.

The Nigerian super eagles will be missing the absence of their two hot strikers, Victor Osimhen and Emmanuel Dennis in this tournament, as the duo were not released by their respective clubs to participate in the tournament.

When a team is missing two of it's best players, it will really affect them, as we all know how these two alone can win you games. With the duo not expected to play, Egypt wouldn't have to worry, and this will be a disadvantage to Nigeria, thereby giving Egypt the upper hand to win and win this game.

3. The presence of Mohammed Salah in the Egypt team.

Egypt have one advantage ahead of other teams in this tournament, and it is the fact that they have the Liverpool star, Mohammed Salah in their squad.

Salah who is in a hot form right now, and arguably the best player in Europe this season so far, is a player that can win you games all by himself, and with him playing against Nigeria today, we'll get to see him to what he knows how to do best, so the Nigerian defence has to be wary of him.

The writer of this article should be arrested asap

See the way he is so certain

ChrisKels:
You really need an Atlas and a good geography text book urgently

So, you don't know why Egypt hosted in June, yet you are a sub Sahara African?

Elock1

Egypt hosted in June the other time reason because it happens not to be in the tropical region that experience heavy rainy season amid March to September and dry harmattan season thereafter as a result of the wind from the Sahara desert.

EGYPT can be categorised as temperate region and experience same weather conditions with the Europeans Spring, Autumn, Winter and Summer

So expect CAF to revert back to the june/July format should a north or southern Africa country wanna host the AFCON

ChrisKels:
You posted this on November, last year while Tbaba also posted something same month, which other last year are we talking about here?

Could it be that Tbaba was the the same person as Suya of Cyber Eagles who died sometime in November last year?

Think he was a lecturer in America
And he is from edo north

Fabyom should know him better think he sent him a gift when he had a baby girl some time back

komekn:
First of all is there anything I have said that's untrue.

I understand bias in the negative to mean, distorted, inequitable, unfair , not balanced and discriminatory negative.

Every day you hype him anything he does is classed is excellent , he takes a free kick that's technically poor and you say world class.

Would you give the same accolades and commendations to Lukaku as you would with Joe Linton ( Newcastle) or would you do the same with Trent Alexander and Ritchie at (Newcastle) in comparison.

So why would you want me to give someone the same accolades when they have dramatically different level of achievement. One outstanding and the other abysmal.

You want me to be favourably biased and talk up a player and exaggerate his attributes to the point of deceit. WHY

In other words you want me to be favourably biased but untruthfully.

Sorry NO

Your response is only laced on nwakali incessant attacks

Now take time respond to his other observations that you delight in talk Ing down Nigeria born players for your British born players

You easily criticise Oshimen and quickly create an excuse for Tammy for same reason u criticise Oshimen

To u the innit boys are way better than Nigeria groomed players and all you do here is to constantly belittle this lads for your innit boys

Just like we have Indenna who has something against Anglo Nigeria kids and some progressing Nigeri a players like Ndidi abroad

Danielnino00:
Because there's no Ighalo.. lol..

More than half of the players in the team are playing in Europe top 10 league... Since when have we parade a squad with that kind of quality?
Keshi's 2013 squad had players from the NPFL and obscure European leagues..

I don't understand his mission here

More than half of the starters the last time were playing in their first AFCON unlike now we have Experienced Aina, Ekong, Awaziem,Chuks,Ndidi etc and the others Nacho have grown in age and abilities only God knows what Komekn is talking about even in 2006 afcon team...the bulk of the players were under 20 silver winning team in Netherlands 2005 and we did well still

Meliforme:
So Ghana lost to Algeria by three goals with no reply from Ghana whatsoever, not even a consolation goal.
Hmmm, this is disturbing.

Algeria have never been difficult for us to beat

The last friendly we played it was a Nil difference and I fear Egypt more than them considering our record playing Egypt

I think Nigeria is among the few countries that can stop Algeria if we get to beat Egypt it means we are ready

komekn:
How did you come to that conclusion ? past history, quality of players, coaching staff, friendly matches etc

Or emotive preference?

Oga go and relax somewhere

Icon4s:
It is called Pedigree as a football nation. Same thing that makes a country like Italy win tournaments meanwhile teams like Holland, Belgium and England would be struggling from generation to generation.

On paper and current form teams like Senegal, Mali, Ivory coast, Ghana and Morocco might be ahead of Cameroon but I would rather put my money on Cameroon to win it. Not Just because they are the host but because they have proven from generation to generation that they have that tournament winning mentality. They have that Champions pedigree.

True exactly

That's why countries like Egypt,Cameroon and Nigeria should not be written off

Nigeria have always advance semi final more than any other country in Africa I think

Save for 2008 Nigeria have never leave in the round of 16 for over 30 years now

JohnBullMySon:
The extent of the injury is not known yet. Not every injury is serious. Some slight knocks that players go off for in training, they can simply get treated and return if it were a real match.

That's fine but if serious he should be replaced
This covid19 is not smiling at all

Pls let's pray COVID19 leave us help a good outing pls imagine some team VIP players test positive thats a huge blow
