As is stands, no team is out I THINK

Icon4s:
I am shocked that no one in that Supersports studio is aware that Burundi are not out.

Burundi just needs a win against Guinea and finish 3rd and wait for other 3rd placed teams to emerge before knowing if they will be among the top 4!

For Yobo I am not surprised at his poor Permutational ability. After all at the 2010 WC after we lost our first two games he said we were out, not considering that we could still qualify if we beat S/Korea by any margin in the 3rd game and hope that Argentina beats Greece.
His default thinking is once u lose your first two games you are out

Again, 2011 qualifiers, a 2:1 win would have seen us through but we ended drawing 2:2 due to our pushing forward for a 3rd goal. Yobo was busy blaming the NFF for not telling the team that a 2:1 win was enough

Recall also how the Nigerian press declared our golden Eaglets as having qualified for this year's U17 WC because we won our first 2 games, and not putting all the 6 group matches into perspective.

We here really need to organize a course on Football permutations for many of these press men and football analysts.

one thing for sure is I will never defend the man. We have so many cases of Priests and senior men in Christ abusing boys etc. Never put anything past anyone. Time will tell

Tonnierichy:
For me, I believe this story. A woman of her status cannot make a rape story up. She has a lot to lose. I think the most painful thing is not the rape. I think what made her come out now is the fact that this guy is just going about his ministry like nothing happened. It hurts that way. Seeing people still following him and calling him a man of God must really be breaking her heart.

All those miscreants trying so hard to defend this man and all those asking her to go to court are potential rapists. You are same as him. Dogs in human skin

IF the pastor raped her, trust me, he also raped others.
This issue will die a natural death unless there are other incidences involving other women.

Sirevansgen:
How can this happen?... After 20years and she married.... How will the trace the rape case... Who is a witness... Bring the Pastor more into spotlight..
Only a baby of with no mature brain will believe this .

it's not exclusively a Nigerian problem. People have the freedom to express what they think as fact. But the protest thing weak me. There are many pressing Nigerian issues Nigerians don't protest about... I won't be surprised that those protesting are religious people belonging to other denominations. Those in his denomination will cling tight to him no matter what.
The lady should sue him to court. I don't put it past the pastor though.. but, it has to be proven before we can make a conclusion. I also heard that another lady accused the same pastor and she said she has the proof. I don't know how true though.

Jayslicky:
The one thing about Nigerians is we don't usually use intelligence in dealing with situations, instead we start to bring sentiments into it.

If busola dakolo feels that she should sue the pastor, she should do so, it is not by talking on social media or interviews.

I expect both the people that are saying the pastor is not guilty and the pastor is guilty to shut up and stay neutral to this case, there is a reason we have courts in Nigeria, it is not to rant on social media and go back to our ways of life.

o pari

ChrisKels:
I feel this match is to prepare Ezenwa for the riggurs of the KO stage. A good showing today and he is there already

let them qualify as one of the best 3rd placed teams first.. Hopefully we meet them

ChrisKels:
I wonder why they are giving that boy airtime, South Africa aint worth it. They want a footie rivalry with us, but they aint got what it takes. I can take a Ghanaian, Ivorian, Egyptian et al who can give us a regale of points to debate on, but, SA? Maybe I am being chesty like they always make of us, that makes them feel we show unwarranted important of over bearing pride, but, guy I maintain standards, SA, I reiterate aint in that class FOOTBALLICALLY, to argue with me as a Nigerian, maybe, politically.

forgiveness meet your Algerian brother

Algerian1:
Since when south africa have the better football league in africa ? Maybe you mean sub saharian africa ? And better in what ? Never heard about south africcan football league . the best leagues are in north africa . egypt algeria tunisia morocco are surely the top 4 in african football professional leagues .

Pic top 10 african football leagues 2019 from African Football Confederation according to club results

Ogu is most likely in the left side of the DM position.
Welcome back Ezenwa. Make a case for yourself because i dey fear Akpeyi. Akpeyi is a mistake waiting to happen

jihday:
Official

ask Afobear

darkelf:
Why must every Ghanaian player have Akpu face?

Even the ones wey manage fine, their face must get inordinate protrusions?

Why eh, Why?

that one different na.. I dey talk the music when I dey hear for here. Live muisic versus tv music get different effect for body

Icon4s:
Bros, have u ever watched any Nigerian game in a stadium with u sitting close to the Supporters club? O boy u will dance away ur sorrows

I will dance as a supporter not necessarily that music dey sweet me.

Icon4s:
No naa we have a more complete band. When u here the Nigerian Supporters club play live you cannot sit on ur seat o. U will dance for 90mins. Except if u are not the kind of music/dancing person.

I prefer this performance than what we had.

Icon4s:
Na naija Supporters club dem dey copy naa

No be Benin Republic? But it's not just the songs they sing, but the performance. It's clear and melodious.
Other countries you just hear noises

Icon4s:
They sing plenty of Yoruba songs

This Benin fans music make sense.. the best "noise" so far in this AFCON

Onuachu-Kalu loading...

komekn:
I am quite SHOCKED that after all you have read here and exposure to informed substantive commentary.

You made the proposition in bold.

Onuachu is quite possibly the tallest player in AFCON. Because he has height and most importantly aerial dominance. He has positioned himself in that area cohere has the most competitive advantage.

A ball crossed to him in that area is not 50/50 but more like 70/30.

Its a big shame that our wi gers lack capacity and cannot cross q ball properly. Pin point accuracy is simply not within thier ability.

A ball delivered correctly to Onuachu has a good chance of being a goal.

Onuachu has good positioning and spatial awareness. However can any of our wingets cross the ball accurately, with pace and pin point accuracy ❓

In his last game l don't think he got any accurately delivered cross.

Majority of our matches under Rohr we haven’t passed well. That defeats ur argument.
Against Burundi, we passed well particularly in the 2nd half.
If u want to talk about how SE has improved under Rohr state things that are clear, not debatable.

Earthquake3:
We passed well against Burundi didn't you see that?

Gent signs more Nigerians than Genk

Earthquake3:
This Genk too like Nigerian players

Isn't it the one Awoniyi left?

I no see improvement. Commot sentiments that we have been winning.

Earthquake3:
When have we not struggled with our passes

We are actually better under Rohr

We’ve been struggling with our passes majority of the time under Rohr. If u want to talk good about Rohr pick the obvious facts. With Rohr we no dey press calculator Finito

Rockyrascal:
our passing game have greatly improved and there is also discipline in this team. No be all this our slow type of football wey them know us with....our main challenge now is creating chances to score.

1980 nko?

soetanoreoluwa:
1994 AFCON Nigeria vs Gabon first match, Nigeria no 9 Jersey named Rasheed yekinni scored two goals n SE won 1994 AFCON

Hahaha and UEFA coefficient

TheSuperNerd:
Fellow Warrior Elite in the arena of football debates. I dey kampe Oga mi.. . Hehehehehee... I can see you are still in the business of screenshots and marathon debates...

How is the family Egbon? I dey greet them all...

How about other times?

soetanoreoluwa:
Fun fact :

Last time a Nigeria striker with Jersey number nine (Emenike) scored in AFCON, Nigeria won it

Haha this fawo get legs oh. Welcome back Nerdie

TheSuperNerd:
Honestly, I still don't know if we would win but I would love Mikel's retirement to be marked by another Afcon Triumph. We have the quality but the key is in Rohr's hands.

Good to see you too Sir Joebie. Your room looks really organized... Headed to Andrew's...

What do u like about our style of play?

Rockyrascal:
o yes! But have there not been a great improvement in the team style of play?

Add hope to it because nothing is guaranteed

charlesemeka85:
Lol okay, he is still young so em go definently get bck to his best form

You can have world class players and still be disorganized

Rockyrascal:
we don't possess world class players.

Ehen u need to add that condition

charlesemeka85:
Ebuehi is good we all know that, all we are praying is for him to return to his best form

I do hope our return to AFCON will mean winning the cup again.

TheSuperNerd:
Afcon Titbits-Nigeria in view

-The last time Nigeria lost a game at the AFCON was in 2010. 1-0 to Ghana in the semis of that edition.

- We are currently on a Six game winning streak since our 2-0 win over Ethiopia in South Africa at Afcon 2013.

Another great performance from omeruo. I started watching just before his goal, hence can’t say much

U no go wait until he perform first.

charlesemeka85:
If ebuehi returns he should make the right back his own while Aina takes the lb position. And really commend mazarri for the good work he has done on aina's development. The Bobo Don ripe finally for men's football. I also commend leganes for turning omeruo to a beast!

So we have to put age into consideration when determining how organized a team is. OK

Rockyrascal:
This is the most organized super eagles team since 94'
Considering the vast young talented but inexperienced players that make up this team, the coaching staff so far as done a great job in keeping them together with clear and good improvement rate of every young player in the team.

I disagree. The Sengalese players are fluid. Their build up has been the best so far. They look like they mean serious business. Their hold up play also on point. Tanzania are still in the league of the weakest teams so far, don't forget their defense was resolute in the first 20 mins or so, but Senegal come with different ideas in attack

lexyman:
Tanzania are struggling , a lot of errors from the back line... these has made the Senegalese looked like the better team ... watch the game again ... they re not better than the top team that have participated in the tourney ...

I am impressed with the Zimbabwean and the beautiful play by the Ugandan ...
