Aribo feeds his English bias. That's all. If Aribo was locally trained, you'd see how komekn will shit on him.

I like Aribo but currently he's not playing well.

Komekn that specializes in pulling down Nigerian groomed players.

komekn:
Abegi, which Omeruo was retired from football? Vincent Aboubakar is no threat.

You are contradicting yourself, Vincent is one of their most physical players

Look at how Omeruo got violated like a school boy, basic long ball and cross and he just got bullied like a youth player playing with men.

Oga carry your negativity go. You don't remember all the other duels Omeruo won in that game even in our last game. If Omeruo was one of those your Borough kids, you won't be Hammering such comment
VINCENT ABOUBAKAR IS NO THREAT TO THIS DEFENSE. Take that.

Chief,with your comment here,eagles are in for long thing cuz we are lacking that fluidity in passing,winning the match depends on Osimhen conversion.

Irrespective of how we played at the group stage, the fluidity can still be achieved in the knock out stage. This team has the capacity to do that. Remember the Keshi's team of 2013 struggled to put passes together at the group stage, but on getting to the knockout stages, especially against CIV, you saw how they played with fluidity and possession football.

Let's just keep trusting..............

The easiest way of beating any Cameroonian team is to play with fluidity/sleek passing. If you approach them strictly with physicality, you will get hurt.

komekn:
Oh no 😮 please no😞

This guy whipped Omeruo and retired him from football, bullied him like he was a school boy.

I had forgotten about him 😭 thought he was not in the team. Dude is a Lion 🦁 beast 💪🏿

He is the quintessential African power footballer

Abegi, which Omeruo was retired from football? Vincent Aboubakar is no threat.

I'll prefer CIV doesn't make it past this round so that they don't pick up form in subsequent stages.

Let them gain form and help us to knock out Senegal in the 2nd round

If at all they keep winning, we will not play them till the semis if both teams continue to win. I will rather face that CIV team again than to face Senegal at any stage

Those pictures show how under-developed most parts of Lagos are

yinkeys:
I think we thrive on big games
Our 3-4-3 won’t work well with small teams o

Guinea is a big team as far as African football is concerned

yinkeys:
Ghana is out. Ivory coast qualified
Ghana couldn’t get up to 3 point
You think algeria, Cameroon and Zambia won’t fight for one point at least lol

Ivory Coast has not qualified bro.
Ghana is not completely out even though their chance is very slim. Cameroon can draw and end up on 2pts, Algeria can lose and end up on 2pts, Zambia can also can lose. This is football, anything happen

yinkeys:
Lol they are not playing well
Have you been watching them
But you have a point though
Guinea seems more organized to me
Onana gonna concede if we take our chances

Omo forget about that "they are not playing well talk" was Ghana playing well before we faced them at that 2022 WCQ double header? When it comes to games like that, form doesn't count. When they face Nigeria all their ancestors will join forces with them on the field and Nigeria themselves will have an off-day. For me, Guinea are lesser devils

daveP:
It's kinda a huge relief that we aren't the ones using calculator at this point. Anything can happen but see permutations and combinations wey dey give headache😂

I told some Ghanaian fans last night that they can still qualify but they seemed not to understand. The way it is now, there is over 60% chance that CIV will still qualify.

yinkeys:
We’d most likely play Cameroon
Guinea Is a better side I think
I watched Guinea v. Cameroun
Cameroun had the possession though
They’re really missing Mbeumo ,
Chuopo Moting and aboubakar

I would rather we play Guinea and not Cameroon. Forget about the Guinea friendly, it means nothing now. Teams like Cameroon and Ghana always raise their game when they play Nigeria. They would rather die on the pitch.....

There is a slight hope for Ghana to secure qualification for the round of 16.

These three conditions have to be met at the same time:

◾️Zambia MUST lose to Morocco
◾️DR Congo must draw or win against Tanzania
◾️Cameroon MUST draw with Gambia

Please let's buy calculatas for awa brades

EEGA:
Sir, since Osimhen has been wasteful infront of goal and Chukwueze sub par, I think it would be nice to start Iheanacho on the right, as he is the most clinical finisher in our squad.

Lookman plays more like an AML/LSS behind Osimhen, coming into the midfield instead of staying wide.I expect Iheanacho to play similar role (AMR/RSS) on the right.He is expected to play behind Osimhen on the right while coming into the midfield.

Depending on Iheanacho's performance, we can explore the possibility of seeing Moffi on the right as a sub, a position he plays for OGC Nice.

I love our 3-4-3 so far, it made us look compact in defense with the inclusion of Nwabali.We are now looking like a tournament team.

I agree

daveP:
This means it is majorly Peseiro problem.

Like 70% on coach
30% on players
Because how we have so much chances and not finishing them in sleek mode needs studying. Osimhen should work on his offside. But that Zaidu goal should not have been chalked off.

We will give headache because we sabi prevent scoring. But if they hack how to stop our main man, who steps up? That's the fear.

Osimhen is the reason why we are not winning by wider margins. It is not Peseiro that will come and help Osimhen convert those chances.

Question is "Are we creating enough chances?, Yes. Are we converting them? We don't convert most.

My only problem with Peseiro is his lack of options in the midfield. Asides that, he has set up the team not to lose which is pretty much what you need at the knockout stage

I only feel for CIV

Abeg who get Amokachi number tell him to leave that Super sports studio

daveP:
Abeg comot befar they use Shout finish you o😂😂😂

I don comot since na. I even sat on same table with a white guy. Him self dey condemn the Ghanaian team that dey lack quality
Ghana is in serious mourning

daveP:
😂😂😂😂 truly its big lows and big highs. No medium delivery of anything they are offering. Cape Verde will give us big problems, especially with that their sleek transition into boxes. 1 open play goal and from 1 attacker alone shows the other attackers are not offering any bite. Emenike has Ideye. It's time Osimhen gets his own telepathic Ideye if we want to win this.

See, the way this Nigerian team is setup we will give any team in this AFCON headache

charlesemeka85:
hope them no fight u 🤣🤣🤣

I form sympathizer na

Very shambolic display from Ghana. How can you lead Mozambique 2:0 at 90mins and end up drawing. Very poor game management

safarigirl:
Oga Icon, those errors from Ghana were horrendous. A shambolic showing.

I'm watching all the videos of their Press Men harassing the players, and it is all so funny to watch.

What Ofori did cannot even be classified as a schoolboy error because schoolboys are smarter, and then to do that at a crucial time?

The less said of the bad luck that is Dede Ayew, the better. Hopefully now that he has broken the AFCON record for most appearances, he can retire. None of his mates was on that pitch today.

Omo, I am presently in Accra. The way Ghanaian fans are ranting here eh. Make them no kill that Ofori of a keeper when he returns o. The funny thing is they kept comparing their team with Nigeria while speaking their native language
The whole drama just dey sweet my belle I was just looking at them as if to sympathize with them but I just dey laugh inside

Icon4s:
I am watching this Ghana vs Mozambique game in the midst of Ghanaians. Their wailing will be music to my ears

I really enjoyed the wailing. It was like sweet melody in my ears

daveP:
Spain 3rd division club player is afcon highest goalscorer. He's 34!!

He even plays as a defender in his club

With the way things are going already Cote D Ivoire might still make it to the next round

I am watching this Ghana vs Mozambique game in the midst of Ghanaians. Their wailing will be music to my ears

Odunayaw:
I could never have predicted that scoreline Sir

Very scary thing

Equatorial Guinea have been consistent performers at the AFCON over about a decade now, but they are usually underrated before the start of every AFCON, same with Cape Verde. But they usually turn up

Second round of the AFCON is always a different ball game. We have seen this play out over and over. In 2013 we only managed to score two late penalties against Ethiopia to finish with 5pts in our group and by the knockout phase we saw a different team. In 2021 we finished our group in flying colours but crashed out at the second round. AFCON history has taught me that the knockout phase is usually a different ball game and I usually go on the path of history. This team can get better at the knockout stage.

We are to play the runner up in the group of:
Senegal
Guinea
Cameroon
Gambia

Most likely to be Guinea or Cameroon.
We can defeat any of these two if we play to our full potentials.

Odunayaw:
Should we add another 90 for them to?

Omo, instead Equatorial Guinea go score 8 more

Unlimited22:
Ah wetin Ivory Coast dey do?

Abeg we need to top this group to avoid stories that touch

Cote D'Ivoire will equalize

Curtisaxel10:
Peseiro needs to switch to 433 for the Lord's sake. Enough of this drab nonsense. Remove Ajayi with his yellow card and play Bassey and Omeruo at CB.

He is playing a 4-3-3 already
