Banbanna: That he's speaking English does not mean he's not a Togolese. I used to occasionally travel in some of their luxury buses from Cinkasse to Lome and back, once some of them sensed that I'm struggling with my basic French, they just make the communication better by speaking some good simple English to me.
Don't underestimate them, some of those Francophone pple understand English more than we understand the French language
My brother, when you are in distress, na your first language you go speak.
You think other world class coaches at the world cup won't figure him out?
Boss, they won't do more than second round
You finally have a voice, after we lost.
The fact that Chelle was not beaten from open play, shows he was not conquered. That team is still work in progress. I still maintain if we make it to the intercontinental play-offs and then the world cup the team will be hard to beat. We need to inject more quality and creativity into that midfield and wings positions so we can vary, more, our approach to attacks.
I don't just know, but I am not really pained by this Morocco defeat. There were certain AFCON Semi-Final loses that affected me psychologically for days, but not this one.
Maybe because of their overall performance since the take-over by Eric Chelle. FIFA should just give us that play-off slot so we can continue with this build up This coach, with this crop of players fit do the unthinkable at the world cup
Yeah passion is good but lack of self control is not. Osimhen didn't act professionally, truth has to be said. I do get where he is coming from but still, the team doesn't revolve around him. He needs to understand that there is very little he can do on his own. I practically was tossing and turning on my bed with the replays in my sleep.
I remember how he needlessly got a yellow card for God knows what in the Tunisia match! Fighting your team mates and trying to lose the voice of reason is really detrimental to the harmony in the team. He really does need to be calm. And I do believe this is coming from more or less pent up frustration where a goal bound move gets scuttled by reckless decision making, or conceding unnecessary goals due to lapse in concentration among other reasons. While others tell themselves, relax, it's just a game, he doesn't see it that way. I totally get it but still...He needs to visit Shaolin temple to learn the way of a Warrior abeg. He is right to demand more from his team especially when they slipping up but there are ways of doin that.
One thing we need to realize is that we need to break out of mediocrity and mediocre performances. And I believe the Eagles are fond of taking their foot off the pedal once they score one or 2 goals . I don't know whether it is a sign of respect to the opponents so as not to demoralize them. I believe we need to be very ruthless when we play. if we can score 10 against an opponent, then let's do so to quell any idea of a comeback. We all saw what took place in the match against Tunisia. A more disciplined team will punish us. I do love the way we played yesterday. Long may it continue but the team needs to play more for one another. It wasn't too long ago when we were not even sure of scoring 1 goal.... especially in games where Osimhen did not play. Now we can score 4 goals in a match!!! That's progress. We now have more scorers in Lookman, Osimhen, Akor, Onyeka, Onyedika and more. There is a shift and the team needs to intensify their push for more.
This relaxing when it matters most, especially after 60 mins is what might be irking Osimhen. Walking out of the stadium to the dressing room is too much a statement not to be interpreted or misinterpreted in any way. He left too much room for that. I hope the team solves these on/off field squabbles.
More wins Super Eagles
At that point when Lookman was in the best position to lay the pass, Osimhen was slightly off side. Knowing Osimhen's history of off sides, Lookman was probably not sure of if Osimhen was on side or not and so he rather ignored Osimhen.
Osimhen really needs to learn how to time his runs. And for his actions on the pitch for me it is distracting. He really needs to learn to keep his calm.
WarHammer2000: Talking about branding, Osimhen needs to find a signature goal celebration. A celebration you see and immediately think of Osimhen. Think Ronaldo and his siuuuu. Martins and his summersaults.
Look at Ndidi's celebration. That's a clip that would be replayed for decades to come and has already made it's way into the books of naija football folklore — that's the power of branding.
Mention "Rashidi Yekini", and I bet the first image that comes to your head is Yekini clutching the net, celebrating his iconic World Cup goal. Branding.
Osimhen's current celebration which typically involves pointing at his teammates (or sometimes, the opponents' coach😁) or just jumping and punching the air, isn't remarkable at all. I no go lie, e dey vex me sometimes 🙄.
I mean, it's nice you scored, but how about hitting a unique celebration that thrills the fans and further builds your cult of personality?
He has na, 'pointing at whoever prevented him from scoring, previously' Our Drama King
safarigirl: He wanted first choice ke? He has some gall, making demands when him mind no strong. Somebody that abandoned his First Choice jersey because of small social media drags that time? If he had not opted out of the last AFCON on top mental health, we wouldn’t be dealing with Nwabali today.
Anyway, he should just be posting TikTok thirst traps dey go, as Anthony Joshua gave him visibility. All the best to him at his club. They should have tried to use him for WCQ small before this AFCON. Chelle no even say make he scout Goalies for us, just carry Uzoho that is barely a professional footballer, and that other guy who’s more famous for looking like Onana, than any actual goalkeeping talent, to serious tournament.

Breaking: Boko Haram Overruns ISWAP in Fierce Battle, Over 100 Dead
A fierce confrontation is unfolding between rival Boko Haram factions and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in the Lake Chad region, particularly in the village of Dogon Chiku. Early reports, including insights from security analyst Zagazola Makama, indicate that Boko Haram is currently gaining the upper hand, with initial casualty estimates reaching around 200 fighters.
The fighting is focused on the Lake Chad area, including Dogon Chiku and Abadam in Borno State. Heavy gunfire could be clearly heard as fighters exchanged shots while moving on boats across the lake, shouting “Allahu Akbar!” during the intense clashes.
Local anti-terror militias and intelligence sources suggest that the death toll could be as high as 200, with most casualties reportedly from ISWAP. Boko Haram appears to have suffered minimal losses during the initial encounters.
The Jama’tu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS) faction of Boko Haram is said to have made significant advances, overrunning ISWAP positions and capturing weapons and equipment.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama continues to provide regular updates, confirming both the high casualty figures and the success of Boko Haram’s offensive.
This ongoing inter-jihadist conflict has persisted since the groups split in 2016, fueled by ideological differences and a fierce struggle for territorial control in the Lake Chad basin.
