Whenever you analyse football, try not to be biased. It's not everytime you keep saying that the player you love more is better without any evidence.

The gospel truth is that both Uzoho and Maduka have hardly been tested in this tournament to know who is better. Only Maduka has has had a save against Salah, but still not enough to make a judgement.

My assessment of Maduka is mostly based on club performance.

I wonder what they’ll say about that spilled ball

Rohr wanted a particular Central defender in the Championship at the time but NFF opposed him .

he told you this via text or he called?

lovewins:
Credit should also go to Eguavon. The peaceful ambience we've seen so far in camp irrespective of the short duration he's spent with the boys is a testament of his persona and the kind of influence he exudes. It's obvious he's calm and level headed and it's rubbing off on the players. That was one challenge Oliseh had, the team was so disruptive during his time that his "tactical genius" didn't count for much

he wasn’t/isn’t a tactical genius. nothing dey him head, just hitler and vibes

In the long run, 424 formation will get you exposed

not in Africa, if we loose it will be for something else and not the formation

I won't go low to talk about stupid opinions on this thread but they would speak for themselves, my point is there is no reason for Algeria to 3rd in Africa after a 38 match unbeaten run that has dwarfed every African countries result over the past 4 years, Ciao

ok , fifa don’t like their FA president he refused to pay egunje so they’ve decided not to make Algeria number one

Watford are on the verge of signing Samuel Kalu after a deal was agreed with Bordeaux, reports @AdamLeventhal

The fee is expected to be in the region of £2.5-£3.5m and he is expected to sign a contract until 2026.

He’s set for a medical on Wednesday before completing the move.

There is a Misconception that Rohr selected the team on a Me, Myself and l basis. No , not at all there was all kinds of input from all kinds of stakeholders.

Rohr told you this? Because he himself said decision on players were 100% his

Nigeria university games(NUGA).During this games best athletes were picked for world university games...I remember my two senior bro were picked for world university games in United States,four friends were picked for the same games hosted by Japan,also six for Italy games in 1997.

Instead of disturbing yourself with under age teams,you can make it through NUGA games and make your academic priority.....cos the ex players with certificates are doing well after retirement even than some ex internationals.

don’t think NUGA is still being held in Nigeria

komekn:
There has been long History of our local coaches and the NFF pursuing agendas based on conflicting interests.

It's beggars belief that Onyeka is not starting.

It makes no rational sense that Nwakali will be benching Onyeka because he is the only one that can do long ball.

Nigeria we hail thee

I hate comments like this, we all watched the euros where Sancho and Grealish barely had game time despite their fine showing last season. It all comes down to coach’s personal choices no be about ‘Nigeria we hail thee’

TheLoneCitizen:
Hammarby want at least 5 million euros for Amoo.

The player recently posted his YouTube compilation highlights to his social media.

Rangers are monitoring.

Rangers won’t be bad but holland Belgium or France will be better

Danielnino00:
Collins might be the next in line to post an improved performance in the post Rohr era, who knows..

I hope so but I’m not optimistic

Mujtahida:
As far as sports is concerned, I simply do not think the distinction between local born or foreign born should be an issue.

Alaba missed playing for Nigeria by just hair breath and even at that his heart is still with Nigeria. His sister recently on her Twitter time line said that it's sweet watching SE

listened to some of her songs, she sings in Yoruba, pidgin and English

mkrest:
Reported by complete sports
What ya think?

except for Collins it’s a decent lineup

mostob:
Please, let's stick to football. It's good if we deviate sometimes but this one is getting boring. Make una create another thread abeg

don’t understand why people are engaging that fellow

drDoom3:
I never one day believed that the guy lives abroad. It may just be a facade for social media. No Nigerian or African I have seen that lives in the US has the mentality he has.

on the Internet anybody can be whatever they want to be, that guy doesn’t live outside Nigeria

Mujtahida:
A Nigerian is a Nigerian especially in sports. Truth is that in a few years from now it is possible that we field a team of 90 percent foreign born players. Already the D'tigers team is 100% foreign born.

See ehn one would think because these guys are born outside our shores, you'd think they'd be less dedicated, they'd be half Nigerian in their mentality and our connections with them would be weak.

Na lie! They are so passionate, so dedicated and we love them just as we love all our sport men who make us proud. Ebuehi was initially not invited, he nearly wan die. Man was full of joy when he was invited yet this is Ebuehi who rarely plays when invited.

See them eating eba, egusi, keeping the connection to the motherland.

Imagine someone with your thinking becomes a coach! Yet you are abroad enjoying all the best that another man's hard work has created.

What is my point: these players are all Nigerians, foreign or local born.

The only consideration is quality

Our national team is one area we have managed to keep out the cancer of tribalism. Abeg this subtle brand of tribalism of local born players and foreign born players is abhorrent.

for all I care that guy lives inside one village in Enugu, you can’t tell me you live in America and have that type of mad man mentality

Ivory Coast goalkeeper Badra Ali Sangaré suffered a potentially “serious knee injury” during his howler at the #AFCON2021  according to CotedIvoire  coach.
This morning it has been reported he lost his dad late last night. A tough 24hrs for the goalkeeper

Papi85:

thanks

minfelix:
I check substitute yesterday in livescore, olayinka was not there...what happened to him

didn’t make the match day squad

TheSuperNerd:
Watching the penalty incident and Ola Aina is clearly at fault here.

I cannot believe some folks in here were trying to defend this. Aina was careless in that moment.

He stepped on the Sudanese and pulled his Jersey.

Absolutely no need for such. He wasn't even a threat. Na wa.


Some folks here and their agenda ehn. Aina had a World Class game vs Egypt and he was a very solid today but that penalty call is all on him.

He should please be more careful henceforth.

even Aina couldn’t question the decision and I think he was trying to get back at that guy for a previous infringement

elyte89:
Nwakali is good in stabilizing a midfield to protect a lead against another top playing nation at d crucial stage...however when it comes to giving d attack options..baba no b am..aribo is better in dt aspect.. Good game anyway..onto d next one

recycled the ball well aside that nothing much

Subzero047:
Chukwueze scored today but he has been having a very disappointing tournament, Aina bombed forward countless times today but he didn't look once to combine with him

Eguavoen must have seen how Chuks is frustrating Aina, guess that’s why he took him off

Omanambala:
Look at this walking contradiction ; how many times did Nwakali lose the ball, give us numbers, you zick olz bakzard ! Nwakali lost the ball only once , you spiteful soul!

see pot calling kettle black

If anything happen to Taiwo we are fuqd, because who be this Sadiq guy?

Nwakali slogan is ‘home na better’

Fabuloski:
Please now that half time is down, let’s talk about streaming please� I need better site, CAF has been banned from showing it on YouTube

but I’m currently watching on Caf’s YouTube page, you can also try 60mins.online

Odunayaw:
If we become more composed na basket Sudan go use collect goals

Domination to porrr

but person say Sudan dey dominate midfield

elyte89:
Let d coach sub nacho for iwobi..he's not in d party today

exactly, this match na Iwobi’s type of ball

Mujtahida:
Rest abeg. Not every player will break the mold in 15 minutes. Osimhen that is your favorite now didn't do well in more than 15 minutes he played at the last Afcon. In fact he was given a run of games before he repaid our faith in him
This your here and now can only be used by a wise man as a guide but a foolish man will use it in a rigid way applying it across board to all situation and then use it to kill off the potential of some players who only need just some bit of time to get going.

You think like Rohr. Too formulaic, too doctrinaire. At the end he was booted out.

Osimhen no be him favorite o, just wait let season finish you’ll hear from him

komekn:
That's absolutely 100% true AT THAT TIME.

And I advised that he should stoop to conquer. Find a smaller team and league , develop and then progress. If he had stayed at Wolfsburg you will not be celebrating him today probably.

You omitted that constructive criticism.

Dembele chose Celtic over Chelsea because he did not think he would develop. Raheem chose QPR over Arsenal because he would not develop and get opportunity, Gnabry chose to drop to Bundesliga because he was not developing in the EPL, Jadon rejected City in favour of B.Dortmund.

The list is literally endless, so what is your point.

no dey cap anyhow , that wasn’t true it isn’t true and will never be true. Record U-17 top scorer will struggle to make championship clubs youth teams? Do you even know what you are saying?

Kog45:
Ebuehi is a real cool guy with gentility.I know little about him recently through my brother ex Venezia player who dem dey roll together in Italy.

Ebuehi real nice guy who nearly shed tears when he received his late call up.

Amaju said Ebuehi went to meet his club president begging him to allow him attend Afcon
