I trust Eguavoen that we will be taking each team as they come seriously. We are not the kind of team that settles for a draw. We have an insatiable appetite to score. That attitude is needed esp in the knock out phase. No room for yeye penalty shoot outs. The path seems clear to the final. Ivory Coast will have their revenge and we will battle them for the final spot.

TheSuperNerd:
More like a strong possibility if Tunisia does beat Gambia and Mali does the Lord's work vs Mauritania.

I am just excited for Comoros. They will be in the second round afterall after their giant killing display vs Ghana. What a tournament they are having.

Nigeria VS Gambia (prediction)

Mali (prediction) vs Eq. Guinea

Guinea VS Tunisia (prediction)

Cameroon VS Comoros

Ivory Coast VS Egypt next

It's most likely going to be Gambia next. I expect Tunisia to win

you are right

AndSunGorilla:
Congrats to Comoros. They have made history. Lesson for me, never ever give up you never know what your "best" could yield.

not yet

justicechichex:
Comoros qualified for the round of 16.. What a feat they've achieved for themselves.. I think it'll be Cameroon they play next

So did 3rd place group B not qualify?

forgiveness:
We are getting our opponent from group F.

Make I go check who Dey dere.

i knew that was an offside.. goodbye Algeria

They are not going to the world cup. I expect them to do well.

andrewbaba44:
Don’t be flattered by today’s game

Na Algeria dem Dey play

Same Ivorians that couldn’t beat Sierra Leone

Didn't I say Algeria was done

You need to see Solace Chukwu's ratings.. That guy na opposite of Basco lol

safarigirl:
I don't even know if I should call you generous.

Sadiq Umar 7.5? Dude was dancing around 4.0 the entire match, that goal could have only boosted him to a solid 4.5, 5.0 if you want to be generous

His misses were criminal, so criminal, I'm very sure we can still arraign him for attempted murder, because I nearly died.

You're generous O. The rest of the ratings were good, might have scored Ndah a little higher, as well as Onyekuru, but otherwise, cool.

Na you dey talk for the video?

We have options we can test. But I expect Okoye to get better and better.

Kog45:
Sure we are getting their but eagles need a very good keeper if truly we want to compete with the rest of the world

I agree sir. Those additions will make things sweeter.

Kog45:
Oga Joe,Ejuke and Chuckwueze dey fall my hand o....imagine I rated Ejuke than Simon but I was wronged...I always see Chuckwueze as unplayable player in GWG but so far am not impressed......the duo just need up their games cos we have Dennis,Lookman and Kalu waiting after Afcon

All round contribution, I give it to Ejuke.I believe Chuks is a better player. Just rating their performances so far in this AFCON.

forgiveness:
Ejuke just Dey dribble himself. Yes! Chuks has not been impressive but he created chances with his passes.

Chuks is still a better player than Ejuke.

My friend these so called Minnows have given a good account of themselves even in terms of scoring

codemaniacs:
Super Eagles have not played against a strong team especially a team with a strong attack..

It's normal to play well against teams like sudan, equatorial guinea, an underperforming Egypt..

Eguavoen major advantage for now is the fact that he is playing attacking football if Super Eagles concedes first and changes to a defensive pattern then SE will be in trouble.

Hopefully eguavoen doesn't change his attacking game.

Now I can only imagine how Eguavoen would have used Osimhen

Curtisaxel10:
And this same Rohr once converted Samuel Kalu (another potential X-factor killer winger) into a wingback! The White Onigbinde's fetish for defensive football led him into destroying our brightest attacking talent while spouting his "we don't have specially gifted players" line to whoever cared to listen.

May the gods forgive me for once believing in this Arch-Carpenter!

We play like we are hungry. That should be the spirit regardless of who we meet.

A deadly striker is the missing link. He has been decent IMO

Danielnino00:
About Jibola Adebola...
Truth be told, he did well.. His passing and set piece were on point... He could have had an assist from that beautiful ball to Sadiq...His main problem was his work rate off the ball... I think going forward, Eguavon shouldn't bring him on for games that are too physical...But when we need somebody to stabilize the midfield, he's definitely the man for the job..

As for Sadiq, the goal won't take off the fact that he was poor today..he's been poor all tournament... Seriously,he has disappointed those of us that clamoured for his call up..The knockout stage is serious business...he should remain on the bench .I'll prefer Olayinka in his place...

In this tournament, I disagree. Ejuke has a better work rate. He needs to improve in decision making. Chuks on his part never start yet, but may explode as we progress.

forgiveness:
Chuks is better.

I must say the influence of Nwakali would have been better felt if we had deadlier strikers. Let me go watch the movie, “When Osimhen returns”

komekn:
You are right about the through ball to Sadiq to and the other pass. But that's about it

A Midfielder job is very simple when you have the ball you attack when you don't have the ball you defend.

Under these key performance indicators he was very poor .

Work rate - very very poor.
Backtracking - very poor
Tackles - very poor
Blocks - very poor
Closing down space - oor
Interception- poor
Passing - below average
Physicality - very poor

This is where he fails woefully.

If not for Ndidi and Ajayi covering for him he was essentially a liability in midfield.

Hahaha

Joezinho:
Shehu should just retire from international football..

Besides the wins, we have played well. I give it to Eguavoen.

12large1:
It’s not about how you start, but how you finish. If Eguavoen doesn’t reach the finals or win this tournament, it will be considered as bad

Make I see how Shehu go use jazz come back

He is not even watching proceedings in Cameroon. He should kuku remain where he dey. Make he agent go to work

lbrichman2:
If I were Peseiro, I would quietly back out
The kain criticism him go receive if we no play well ehn

Very unpredictable team

safarigirl:
Nigeria with 6 goals from 6 different players


Iheanacho
Chukwueze
Awoniyi

Simon Orumusele Messi

Gone are the days we score and relax
