I am a Bonafide Nigerian and I love the Super Eagles

In the beginning, I had doubts about this team but they are gradually winning me over with their attitude on the field of play

But I know one fact; everybody cannot say positive things about the Super Eagles all the time. We are created different and we think differently.

Hence, it only makes sense to respect the opinions of others no matter how silly they may sound.

Granted, we give each other a hard time here by yabbing and making jokes about our wrong predictions and what nots but this should never degenerate to insults.

Some of us here have a hard time swallowing the opinions of others and cannot make intelligent arguments without insulting the other party. Times without number, I have called out some of these people. While some apologize and retract their statements, others remain adamant and choose not to admit their wrongs.

I want to believe we all possess a level of intelligence to converse on this thread and what differentiates the mature minds from kids is the ability to question opposing arguments with facts and without rude remarks.

I am calling on us especially those of us who are elders to act accordingly:

You don't have to reply every rude remark.

You are not in control of the other persons thoughts and opinions; positive and negative

I also want to believe that you (the agggressor) don't feed the aggressee neither do you clothe or pay his house rent . So the person can oppose you when he wants albeit intelligently.

Up Super Eagles, Go for glory

We keep improving and to crown it all we have a good bench and can win the match fro the bench ... pessimist has failed to see this

Icon4s:
We are already in the 'Finals'. Quarters and Semis are finals. But there is only one 'Final'.

darkelf:
Do you really think Tunisia will easily get past Senegal?

It will be a long shot but i think Senegal will carry the day

lexyman:
this AFCON is different , a lot of history has been re written ... And as it stands they have been OTEDOLA And Dangote has promised the boys another 75kusd per goal ... another Motivation just expect 3-1 or 4-1

lexyman:
they have tried , i wit them to reach the Semifinal , so as to match the record of Cape Varde but as it stands i don't think so cos the Tunisian guys are using them to learn tactics

Mickael2:
Well a little history here lads.

In the Afcon qualifiers we lost the first match 2-0 to South Africa then drew the return leg 0-0 and when we met we beat them 2-1.
Now during the world cup qualifiers we beat Algeria in the first leg 3-1 and drew the return leg 1-1 that's a difference 1 goal for each team (compared to the SA results), now if history repeats itself like it has been repeating itself in this AFCON then that match will be 3-2 in favour of Algeria.

Also the last time we beat South Africa in an Afcon we ended up losing the next match on penalties(that was in 2000).

OK let me run away before people come for my head

ykalhaji:
Even with this result, Rohr is a good coach but he doesn't have the "IT" factor, he can't read games in real time and make game changing or saving adjustments in real time, him and his companion coaching our women are just above average.

Exclusive – Super Eagles Lineup For South Africa Tie, Chukwueze Starts, Aina Out, Eagles To Play 4-3-3
July 10, 201901379



The lineup of the Super Eagles for their quarter final game against Bafana Bafana of South Africa has been exclusively revealed to the editorial team of Owngoalnigeria.com.

This Trick Brings Me 3,980,000 Naira A Month!

As reported by this portal yesterday coach of the team Gernot Rohr maintained the 4-3-3 system that turns into a 4-2-3-1 when they are defending. However he has made two changes to the starting lineup.

Jamilu Collins is back in the squad and will play his first game after recovering fully from the groin injury that has kept him out of the team. He will take the place of Ola Aina in defence.

Aina is the only change in the back four with the trio of William Troost-Ekong, Kenneth Omeruo and Chidozie Awaziem keeping their spots in front of goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi.

In midfield, Rohr maintained same trio with Wilfred Ndidi playing as the defensive midfielder and Oghenekaro Etebo will occupy the central midfield role just behind Alex Iwobi who will once again play in the number 10.
In attack, Moses Simon who started in the win over Cameroon in the round of 16 makes way for the man who substituted him in the game in Samuel Chukwueze who will operate from the right with captain Ahmed Musa keeping his spot on the left.

Odion Ighalo who is the joint top scorer of the tournament with three goals will be hoping for more of the same like the brace he got against Cameroon in the last game.

Lineup :

Daniel Akpeyi

Chidozie Awaziem

Jamilu Collins

William Troost-Ekong

Kenneth Omeruo

Oghenekaro Etebo

Wilfred Ndidi

Alex Iwobi

Samuel Chukwueze

Ahmed Musa

Odion Ighalo

South Africa Coach Baxter Reveals Plans To Stop Penalty Box Predator Ighalo



South Africa coach Stuart Baxter has claimed that Bafana Bafana defenders will not man-mark Odion Ighalo when they face Nigeria in Wednesday evening's Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinal clash in Cairo.

The former Watford striker has been Nigeria's most influential player at the ongoing tournament, having a hand in four (3 goals, 1 assists) of the five goals scored by the three-time African champions.

And Baxter has revealed that one of the ways to nullify Ighalo's threat is simply to cut off supply to the Super Eagles number 9.

''We don’t make individual plans for players in terms of man marking. We would solve that as a team,'' Baxter said.

''We would make it difficult for them (Nigeria) to play quality balls to their strikers and would defend like we normally defend.

''That is part of the ways you can make individual strategies to certain players. Being a central striker, Ighalo will fall into the back four as a unit, and we’ll screen the midfield which will make it difficult for him.''

Ighalo specializes in scoring from inside the penalty area and all his international goals have come from inside the box with the exception of his opener in a 4-0 win vs Cameroon in September 2017.

I put team 2000 and 1998 in parentheses because they are better than the team of 2004. Not because they are worse

Understand me please. The achievements of the team from 1994-2004 dwarves the achievement of the team from 2016 (when Rohr took over)

Although, the team of now is still in contention to enter the Semi-final and I believe they would do so, yet they have not won anything. No medal (not even the bronze) but they are getting there

darkelf:
I am of the opinion that winning this AFCON would make it easier for us to convince the really good foreign born lads to play for us thereafter

darkelf:
Seconded

ChrisKels:
Yeye move, he has just consolidated his place in the U23s, with this move he should concentrate on proving himself, he shouldn't dream of super eagles from there. We have better players in his position already. I hope Ademola joins soon.

TheSuperNerd:
When I was in Joebie's room, I saw this exact fixture prediction map. He tipped Cameroun to knock Nigeria out. Tips Algeria to knock out Egypt and so on....

So this is definitely Joebie's
