I had to watch d highlight BTW super eagles and Cameroon, where we defeated dem 4nil, wit virtually almost d same squad DAT we HV nw apart from some few changes here and dere...BT d most notable difference BTW d present squad and d other one is d absence of a certain victor moses, his trickery and pace on d wings and surprisingly his unselfishness was a thorn in d flesh of d indomitable lions. I don't wanna say we miss him, even though he would HV been a good addition to d squad BT I believe DAT we HV similar players DAT can do damage to d Cameroonians even though dey r quite young. He has to start either chukwueze or onyrkuru on Saturday because dey can stretch DAT defence and open up opportunities for others to score. BT if he decides to play safe like he always does, den am afraid we should jst start to book our flight tickets back home because dere is no way we would win if dat match goes to penalties, not with DAT Cameroon goalkeeper

Humility017:
bro...Rohr is just the problem of that team..
I wish one of us here can take over his job just for this afcon.

Egypt can't beat us if we really play to our potentials but Rohr is just the problem.

I expect him to be sacked later next week after loosing to Egypt.

Humility017:
No...but we have a team better than Cameroon national team.

in potentials and abilities the super eagles is better....
all we need do is to play oshimen as CF put in ighalo in the last 30 mins.
musa and chuks on both flanks...
Iwobi on the 10 role... Aina play the RB and Collins LB and Balogun/Ekong and omeruo play the CBs role.

we can get some results with this.... kalu/Henry can come in later to outrun the Cameroonian defense...Simon Moses can come in as a 10 also for iwobi if he gets tired.

Humility017:
oga Nigeria will beat Cameroon come this weekend...
my only fear is Egypt that await us...

kluivert obviously learnt nothing from Louis Van Gaal... him and seedorf are the worst Dutch coaches I have seen since a decade now.

we will beat them....

aniomafirstson:
I am not underrating them but most of the comments I see here are irritating.
Psychologically they are afraid of the Nigerian team weather we like to admit or not and I don't even see anything spectacular about their gameplay.

darkelf:
This is a different Cameroon bro. Never underrate your opponents. They have a different technical crew. They have also not conceded any goals in their group stages while our attack has been poor.

krattoss:
Mehn I no go lie,I will loose interest in this AFCON if we crash out in this round 16, and I no wan loose interest

If Egypt eventually crashes out against South Africa, then this year's AFCON will go into records as the AFCON with the least spectators in the history of AFCON..cos it's only the Pharaohs the pulls amazingly crowd.

Truidstar:
Oga, please get my point. Brazil apart Neymer does not have a player that comes close to Messi and Ronaldo. This was the same Brazil at a time that had Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho. Each of these players a game changer on his own. Argentina had the Gabriel Batistuta, Pablo Aimar and the like. They just have Messi who will soon be over the hill. Same with the Germans. These teams have evolved to play without game changers (except Argentina, still depends on Messi). Our so called limitations can be our greatest strength in the hands of a brilliant coach.

Humility017:
and so.... we won them in 2004 by simply techniques and smartness.
in that match kanu played even passed the ball for utaka's goal, osaze played too and we took our chances so well.

you don't have to jam body to win them... I it requires jam body they would have been winning light skinned countries in the world cups... since 2002.

we need to utilize our chances.... so well.

OMANBALA1:
Bros, Cameroon play very good football plus their extra jam body. The indomitable Lions are not just about jam body

Danielnino00:
In short,if we has lost that game, nobody will be saying Keshi was a better tactician than Rohr is ..

Humility017:
that guy will keep finding it difficult to score goals..... you won't understand.
in a tourney like this...an unknown player often steal the show.
Sunday MBa did so at the last afcon.

Humility017:
Ighalo is killing our football...the earlier we know this the better for us.

Dude is also selfish...very selfish.

balogun have no problem...I won't blame him much for that errors....ogu does not sense of his own too...
for a player that have played football that long not to be able to read games shows the problem we have in that team...

balogun and other defenders...should be made to know that we expect them to score from set pieces...

they barely know how to put their heights to use...so pathetic.
sometimes I try find the German traits in him.... Germans make use of corner kicks like penalties... but this one and his uncle coach are something else

Truidstar:
The right word is our football has evolved not regressed. Brazil used to have Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho in a Generation. They don't have that anymore they have evolved to cope with their limitations. That's what we need to do too.

Dannyxy:
oga stay one place, you say we are loosing... Stick your status quo...

Bolowolowo:
Tempers are flaring in this match. The raw emotions are coming out. This match go sweet oooo

Odunayaw:
Same way we "knew" the hungry ones in 2013. What's different now?

We didn't struggle to get to this tourney & we're struggling (quite) at the tourney, doesn't that seem weird.
If we had a form that got us here (even you would not tell me we met any team in the group that's better than Libya at least) & the form kicks in, what stops us from going all the way?

Bolowolowo:
See how Brazil picked apart the Argentine defence with ease

peterd53:
Bro, they both about scoring issues but I think Tunisia has a tighter defense

Skillset11:
I am telling you had been we are playing Ghana, these guys would rather die on the pitch than loose to Ghana.
Because they have beaten Cameroon before complacency will set in whereas the Cameroonians will be all fired up for this game.

lexyman:
We will win by a lone goal ... Rohr signature

Odunayaw:
I do.

Not much has changed in the personnel that got us this far no?
Time shall tell

darkelf:
These are my predictions:

Morocco to win by a lone goal

Senegal wins 2:1

Cameroon Wins by a lone goal or on penalties.

Egypt to Knack them by 3 goals

Madagascar wins 2:1

Algeria to rape them.

Ivory coast defeats Mali in a tight encounter

Ghana triumphs comfortably by at least 2 goals

Odunayaw:
Am responding to a blanket statement. Read well please

wayodude:
I still think we would do better with the right foreign coach instead of going local. The man management and selection bias will ways remain our undoing with local coaches no matter how much exposure they have to how things should be done.

Amunike as a no 2 under a rijkaard or someone of that sort of standing is what I would opt for.
