Thank you!
SA will not be easy either..
But this is football anything is possible. I'm putting my hope on the players.

sontoly:
To be honest this Cameroon too was very weak in group stage and still the weakest Cameroon team I ve ever seen, yet we still struggled to beat them. This means that we are not much better than them.

Our next opponent, if it will be Egypt is going to be tough.

I have been criticizing the technical crew most of the times. I've hardly singled out a player for criticisms. That says a lot that I want this team to win. But a lot falls to the technical crew if we must win this cup or play well at least.
Let's see who is next. But i'm hoping that the players' chemistry will improve from here. That's the only thing i'm banking on
Yes, Cameroon was poor.

darkelf:
To them, calling a spade a spade means you're not patriotic. They just lack common understanding

To me, we were very lucky today. I'm not taking away the fact that the guys fought but tactically, we were very poor. Rohr isn't bringing out the best from this guys. Whilst some of our players are average, a better coach would do better with this team because truthfully, Cameroon was equally poor.

We better step up in the next round or we may be bundles out. It gets tougher from here on out

Ighalo is our top scorer coming to this AFCON. That clearly means he is the best striker we have.. We said the same thing when Iheanacho had the stats to his favor.
However I want to see Osimhen come in for Ighalo. I won't play Onuachu if we do not have wingers that spring crosses.

TheSuperNerd:
Even if all he scored today were penalties or tap-ins... Who cares? Penghalo or not.... My own is this: HE GOT THE JOB DONE AND THAT IS WHY ROHR MUST PLAY OUR MOST LETHAL CREATIVE WEAPONS LIKE CHUKWUEZE who can open up defences with his movements, trickery and his mere presence to create chances upon chances.

Ighalo delivered today and I am glad. He was always going to start and just needed to be fed. I keep saying it... Give him as many chances so that even if he flunks some, we won't have to talk about it because he scored the rest.

Ighalo stepped up indeed and showed "his red eye" as he promised he will show.
Unlike a certain Niang Chriskels once said is better than Iggy. Bia Chriskels..Your lobotomy schedule is drawing closer.

Danielnino00:
@ the bolded... so do I... our win today was more due to the player's determination than the coach's tactics...

what's a fair weather fan?.. i've never stood against the team.. i've only called a spade a spade.. if they dont play well, I say it. Rohr does not inspire my confidence finito
The match could have gone either way. But that was my prediction based on what I saw so far in the group stage.

Danielnino00:
Unlike u, I'm not a fair weather fan.. I've stood by the team since the start of the tournament and would do so till the end...
You were all over the thread predicting a narrow win for Cameroon.. Smh...

NOOO.. ROHR should be given the job of overseeing our domestic league and making recommendations.

EEGA:
NFF should just get a tactician to work with Rohr.Rohr should stay.

hahahahaha OCCUPIED .. I for just be like you now. at least I no run.. I dey here dey wait una backlash.

TheSuperNerd:
Because I was occupied. Or you want to feign ignorance of that and shoot at a target that doesn't exist? Lol.... Joebie no worry... Keep waiting for penalties okay.

you people will be picking players based on the outcome of the match.. can't we be non sentimental for once.
people were saying Iwobi was the worse player, watch as dem go change mouth now.

Humility017:
are you serious? ??

To me Ndidi and Aina have really tried....

u don get mouth.. after WC, i know see u o..

TheSuperNerd:
Note: I still want Rohr gone in the long run. It had to take a HT loss to make him see that Simon adds little to our attack. He is always more defensive and less creative. Chukwueze is a game changer and a threat any coach will put two or three players on. Anyway... More on my analyses later....


Back to the matter you raised my good man.....



I am coming... Just putting finishing touches to the list... Sir Joebie is their chairman.


I dey come... I dey number 7

u mean left side?

Humility017:
exactly Ighalo did well in the second half...

He tried.....he would have made it 3 had it been he played that ball to the right side of the goal....

Akpeyi had one shaky moment. It's guaranteed he will have one of those moments within 90 mins. I hope this AFCON will finally erase all his fear fear.
After 90 mins we will know if we will meet the team Rohr has been dreading. I would rather love to meet SA, cuz we need to shut their mojths up for once.

Preasty:
I strongly believe Nigeria would do well against Egypt that plays the ball on ground. Our defence lime became shaky because CAM settled for Aerial ball. Let's hope for the best. BUT TRUTH BE TOLD . WE DON'T HAVE KEEPERS OOOOOOOOO

after one match you will flip.. I still stand by my word, Rohr should go. However this was one of our best games since Argentina friendly based on how THE PLAYERS responded to being behind. There was no tactical change whatsoever than Ighalo dropping deep a little.
Cameroon was poor.

Danielnino00:
Nerdy my man..
where's the list of those that didn't believe we would beat Cameroon??
We need to send it to Buhari and d senate... Their citizenship should be auctioned...
Let's offer them to Somali and Djibouti...

one of the best games so far

ONyekuru for Musa

Ighalo is torn in the flesh.. Cameroon will always fear him from now on

Rohr should bring MIkel to play holding midfield o

Omeruo good job!

that would have been a harttrick for Ighalo..

Iwobiiiiii..

Musa assist..

Ighaloooooo

una dey behind and ur still looking clueless

my brother since that WC opener I decided never to allow that man deceive me.. If u want to know Rorh watch our friendlies just before the WC..

Mujtahida:
I don talk am: World Cup thoroughly exposed Rohr.

The man is rust.

it's been the norm since then.. okay.. and we expect something different now?

Odunayaw:
Pre wc friendlies & this tournament

Rohr said we would play 3-5-2.. I still dey wait oh..

forgiveness:
3-5-2 is the solution now.

Iwobi has done nothing. This is one the reason I criticize players selections. How can you just stick with Iwobi and Mikel for the Amf role without trying out other players who can play in the same role?


I think Balogun should have started the game. He brings calm to the back.

Omeruo caused the two goals.

since when?

Odunayaw:
it wasn't a norm, its becoming a norm now

Let's keep HOPING. This is Rohr's final test. How will he respond when he is down?

Who said Rorh was better than Seedorf?

That's the point.. the problem is not our players.. The coach does not change anything.. one way!

lexyman:
We were better from the beginning till about 30minutrs .... Seedorf changed the formation and it paid off

my friend wait till 90 minutes
the drama is not over yet....

krattoss:
And my AFCON this year ends here..

I would like us to meet south africa.. and beat them this time for once

Taliban:
Men when did you guys say we are playing the Quarter finals again. I think Egypt is preferable to South Africa abi what do you think?
