Moses Simon is the best in this squad

Yes Sadiq! I knew it

Iheanacho!!! Nice try

Ajayi very composed

Sadiq suppose take that chance one time

Ebuehi dey ball

Well taken free kick

I am not comfortable about the idea of resting most of the starters. I hope Eguavoen’s plan is to bring them on later in the game. Our starters need more games to really gel before the knock out stages.
He may not see this game as a very good test for the lads even in a resounding win.
Well, we’ll see i how they can pull a good win.

TheSuperNerd:
The Lineup is here!!! Get ready!!!

Enroute the final we beat them at the last edition. Regardless of whether it happens through the back door Cameroon must fall.

Mujtahida:
Afcon 2000 - 22 years and the wound still hurts even though the pain has been staunched by the fact that in recent meetings with Cameroun, we come tops but we'll finally have closure if we beat Cameroun either enroute the final or at the final.

I think we should focus on the teams that are still here. Let the dead bury the dead.

There is a reason why Chukwueze is being subbed out early despite scoring. Also Ejuke did not see minutes against Sudan.
Eguavoen is on point. our wingers are getting the message. Expect them to improve.

samtol4:
well said. Comoros counter-attack is superb. Ejuke and Chukueze need to watch this match and understand counter attack is to score not show skills

Like I said before. We have been humbled severally by minnows. It won't happen again, under Eguavoen. Other big teams are being served their humble pie in the wrong moment -- helps our chances. I expect our strikers to start to click. Expect goals. Don't rule out Sadiq yet

Stormtrooper11:
Seems the Super Eagles are the only team in the AFCON tournament with no loss or draw. Hope we keep that form

At this stage, I will say the hosts remain the team to beat. And I foresee an upset against them.
And that leaves us to one team to lift the cup. It is not going to a North-African team.
Your guess is as good as mine -- Nigeria. Our team is not built around any specific player.
We will produce goals from different routes going forward.

We have got several reality checks from supposedly small teams before this tourney. I see no “small” team surprising us. They will do the Lord’s work with the likes of Algeria, and we will handle them mercilessly

I think Nigeria has a bright chance lifting this cup. We need to keep working to get better.

Algeria is done!

Aribo vs Sudan

People are already underrating Algeria.

nairalandankrah:
It looks like we will have a relatively easy route to the finals. Bar Senegal in the quarters or semis, but apart from that it looks easy:

Gambia / Sierra Leone (1/8 final), Burkina Faso / Guinea / Senegal (1/4 final) and Senegal / Algeria / Mali (semis).

Senegal - Nigeria might be a game worthy of the final.

Guinea Bissau no come play o

Lol I no bet o

nairalandankrah:
My guy ticket Don cut

This Guinea Bissau coach na Pinnick brother

Nooo

Candidate for goal of the tourney

Yes Guinea Bissau!!!

Haha. Maybe na Agbonobare dem want

safarigirl:
Yes, but Nigerians always make the age jokes for him.

It doesn't matter who is in goal for Nigeria

You put Maduka, they say he is a fine boy

You put Uzoho, they say he is an old man

You put Akpeyi, they remind you of Algeria

Nigerians will continue to complain, irrespective of who is in goal for us. Even when it was Enyeama, dem go dey talk about Corners

And Salah does it

Yea but we are topping this group, I can bet on that. Our last game we must play to win regardless of who plays.

Samueltemi337:
If it ends in a draw then no Matter what happens in our last match we will still top the group

Uzoho is using his real age jor

safarigirl:
It is all because he has been getting praises from women, so, today, they just want to hate on him


They are calling it banter, but a lot of it is premeditated. If it was Uzoho, they will say it is because he faked his age

Nigerians kill me, I swear.

I didn’t say weakest. Unless you think we are in a strong group

dkay51:
Senegal's group is now what?

The defense played a huge part. However. He stretched his leg to block Salah’s goal bound shot. Did he look confident in that game?

Subzero047:
It is ridiculous to give Maduka Okoye credit for rendering Salah barren, Ekong, Sanusi and Moses Simon worked so hard to restrict Salah from having a sniff at our goal that the only thing he mustered was a tame shot that hit Maduka's foot so the credit should be given to our defenders not Maduka

The game plan is to shoot or connect with Salah when possible

We are probably in a weak group after all

komekn:
Watching now Egypt against Guinea Bissau one thing is very clear, Guinea Bissau better than Sudan not by a lot

They are giving Egypt a strong challenge they are a collection of very tall Iroko Trees very athletic and physical. Egypt are not able to use their technical ability to control the game completely .

It's still 0-0
