Agreed Barryseal: Cameroun and Ivory Coast will give us a hard game. But it's about time we retaliate the Afcon 2000 finals in Lagos. Meeting Cameroun in the finals and besting them in Yaounde will heal the wounds but that said, we have a terrible record against them in AFCON finals. |

The only team I am not too confident about us meeting. We will need very bullish and sharp strikers to outwit them. Add to that, playing the final against them in their home.. That one no go easy. Anyways somebody else will do the work  andrewbaba44: Wetin Dey Cameroun wey Dey scare una ?

Now we have the eleven who will start tomorrow close to our heart and by the special grace of God they are all healthy and there are no preferences.
"Everybody that has come to this tournament with Nigeria deserves to be here at this point in time so whoever is called upon will definitely respond because my message always to the boys is you go out there do everything you can do, don't reserve nothing, one hundred percent commitment in terms of working hard.
"When you are tired just signal, come out, your colleague will finish the job for you so no preference for any player."

I prefer Ghana because I know we will approach them with all seriousness. Those are the kind of games that prepare us better for the mundial proper. daveP: That's all i thought immediately i saw the draw.
If we just apply the Comoros tactics alone for Accra, e don finish. If Dennis kon be the 9 again........ Not to talk of if its now Victor Osimhen... Their defence cannot take it. If Chuks form is now back by then, they'll dance reggae. Congo would have been a tougher opponent. They have a chance to me. |

As long as they are not on social media abi.. The conversations there now I suspect is more about Ghana than Tunisia. I hope they are not heavily involved else e go become their "moment" o Mujtahida: Why should it distract them? I don't think it would distract them. Play-off is in March. Nigeria versus Tunisia is tomorrow. So if it is you, you will be distracted? The human mind tends to be embroiled with the moment particularly if is very pressing and important. |

Let me add that it would be a blood bath if we scored early. forgiveness: Exactly! They should not take the news from the Tunisia’s camp seriously.
As long as they are coming with 11 players, we should play them with all our might as if this is the finals.
Super Eagles should avoid early goals from them oooo because knowing they don’t have a bench, they need to score early and seat back and defend. Hopping to score us on counter when we become desperate.
We need to score early goals and then control the midfield. |

Oga I make my opinions based on what I see on the pitch. That has always been my approach. modified The same Rohr I praised was the same Rohr I called out early. I judge by performance only Danielnino00: Oga Joe, wetin dey sup? These days you are making very bold claims o Back then u used to be quite pessimistic about the super eagles..

The news from Tunisia's camp should not be a distraction. I expect Tunisia to put in the biggest fight with a depleted squad. This game will be very mental for them. We must maintain our mental strength and approach this game like the final. One final at a time, and the cup will be in Abuja. |

I agree this should have been done after the AFCON. I hope our players remain focused and are not distracted especially by the news from Tunisia's camp. forgiveness: This is just a distraction. We should be thinking and focusing on the next game against Tunisia tomorrow.
The match against Ghana is still far away and there’s enough time to plan and talk about it.
I don’t know why CAF will bring such distraction during the course of a tournament like this.
Our players should concentrate and focus fully on the next game and don’t allow the World Cup playoffs distract them because winning this AFCON is our main goal for now.
Any news from the camp? |

it's not a prediction. Like I have said as long as Eguavoen and the players continue with this same spirit, Qatar here we come! It is an objective condition hinged on on the present. fabyom: How can you then predict that a circumstances might occur or not? |

I do not want us to qualify that way. Even if they can't fix it, let's play in two neutral venues. And we will beat them in both games. nelszx: The first leg may not even be played in Ghana. None of their stadium has VAR facility. Likely first leg will be at a neutral venue then return leg in Abuja.
We'll be in Qatar come March |

with all the conditions met, they will lose both games. We have been building our team for 5 years, we are just beginning to gain momentum. The momentum we will have by then will be unstoppable. Eguavoen should not change what he is doing. drDoom3: If Ghana want to avoid a thrashing (not even get a win, that is nigh impossible) what they have to do is:
1) Appoint a local coach that will not be influenced by their FA in player selections 2) Scout extensively in europe. Get all their eligible players together. Get Salisu, get Afena-Gyan, get Duncan, get Schlupp, get Gyasi, get Kamal Sowah. Finalize Hudson Odoi switch. 3) Kick out all the dead legs from their squad. All those home based players they carried to AFCON that couldn't kick a ball because they were not good enough, get them out. 4) Organize at least two friendlies to make the squad gel together before their games against us.
If even one out of these four conditions is not met, we will flog them mercilessly home and away.
If they are able to make all four, maybe they could draw us in Ghana but they are not beating us in Abuja. |

History is written by prevailing circumstances. So put your mind where it matters. There was no history of Comoros vs Ghana. But in one day history was made because of prevailing circumstance. Prevailing circumstances write history. not the other way round. fabyom: How did you come about your assumption about my judgment? I based mine on historical facts, qualities and previous games of the opponents. I was right about the Algerian team too. Yours was based on pure emotion. � |

Our problem was not personnel but tactics. So tell me how they gonna turn that around in a couple of months. They do not have the personnel. Mujtahida: Less than a month ago, Nigeria was regarded as a sputtering team so much so that we weren't even considered favorites for the Afcon. Fast forward to now and the dynamics has changed.
So who says that between now and March 24th, things cannot change for Ghana.
