Yes you are right.

safarigirl:
Nigeria
Mali
Guinea
Cape Verde
Ivory Coast

No be 5 be that?

Congo DR is the one Central Africa

South Africa and Angola 2 Southern Africa

It is 5 West African countries. You forget say Guinea dey?

I doubt Mauritania is considered West Africa. But Cape Verde actually is. So safarigirl is right on her 5/8

ChrisKels:
People always make that mistake especially with Chad and Cameroon because they are our neighbors.


By the way, some guys were arguing with me on Twitter when I said that Mauritanian was a West African country, I come dey wonder wether my SS1 govt teacher no teach me well again. Mauritanian no be West Africa again?

My sister Congo DR no follow na. Abi dem don relocate come West Africa? So it’s 4/8

safarigirl:
Lol

Imagine a Nigeria vs. Ivory Coast final.

Anyway, there is a 5/8 chance a West African nation takes the cup this time. Hell, we could have an all West African semi final

Make all of una gather first. I go explain

jihday:
what do you mean by ‘a Nwakali to kill the game’

U dey my mind abi?

femicyrus:
You had Senegal in mind when making this prediction but now they are out

Hahaha. Na Charles I dey find o. Na only u waka come?

komekn:
Please expand on the Nwakali thing it's confusing.

DRC na west Africa?

MetalJigsaw:
Why u bo mention DRC?

I wish I could put my hand on the guy.

toluxe0075:
I saw this crazy prediction on twitter. Just want to see how today’s fixtures will pan out.

Walai Talai make we pass Angola first…

SA won by a close call and they also benefited from having a Nwakali to kill the game.

Praying my prediction don’t come true because we are coached by Jpes. As it stands, the trio of Mali, CIV, and Guinea fits in.

Joebie:
My AFCON winner prediction:
1. The eventual winner will come from West Africa
2. The eventual winner is coached by a native of the country

I predicted west Africa will win it. Now let me look closely to see which of them match my prediction.

safarigirl:
And that is the end of North Africa in the AFCON.

We're down to 5 West African, 2 Southern African and 1 Central African country

Quarter Finals promises to be another movie.

I think we can all say now with certainty that AFCON is the greatest football tournament in the world!

NGR vs CIV finals?

That jump was very awkward from the Cameroon player. He wasn’t even contesting for the ball.

It seems Several countries watched our games leading to AFCON and hoped to exploit our GK problems. Had Peseiro stuck with Uzoho who knows where would have been by now.

Barryseal:
Song was one of the dirtiest players in the world when he played. A leopard can shed his skin. Most likely he asked his players to find a way to take out Nwabali. They colluded with him twice in quick succession, on the second one, he got injured.

We must avoid PKs. And will Nwabali return?

I don’t know if many people realized that Cameroon intentionally wanted to take out Nwabali. They were left with one strategy. Hope for Uzoho and try to force amistake from him which failed because our defence were always high in confidence and they continued with not exposing our GKs

That’s the point I had in mind. CIV had two setbacks as hosts, and somehow they managed to stay in the tournament. This alone made me think it could just go in their favor. They had a lot to prove. There was more at stake for them than the current holders.

TheSuperNerd:
Thanks for the welcome Brother. And indeed, Senegal being the better team coming into this tie only lasted for the first half. Those "some factors that could tilt it the other way" eventually came into play.

CIV fought for their pride. They had the 4-0 bashing at the hands of Equatorial Guinea at the back of their minds. They needed a response desperately and they got it.

That one na match report na. Different context

Icon4s:
Senegal was only the better team before the game and the first 10mins of the match. Overall CIV bossed them.

I think the initial setback will work in their favor. That’s the major factor I’ve been thinking about

Goke7:
May be not, they are still not that strong, the meet winners btw burkina vs Mali and that would not be easy

The coast looks clear to the finals. But I won’t put all my heart in just yet.

Body been tell me say na CIV go win

Welcome bro.

Senegal is the better team absolutely. However some factors could tilt it the other way.

I would rather want us to meet Senegal if we get there.

TheSuperNerd:
Senegal will win. I expect them to. Tomorrow will decide.

A CIV win will indeed be a shock.

WC qualification started last year.

minfelix:
is it not better than the ones that will deceive us with good game and later come to afcon to play rubbish

We said this long even during Rohr era.
I

zuchyblink:
3 at the back is working

Onana (Ajax)

forgiveness:
When did he play in Eredivisie?

lol

charlesemeka85:
I don forget the monicker 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

lol. this dragging for sweet die assuming you quote the moniker oh

charlesemeka85:
Imagine taking Aina to the afcon when we hv one sodiq with 100 assist in the NPFL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Una go die today 🤣🤣🤣🤣

oga i dey talk about wc qualifiers and all the matches jpes has handled leading to this AFCON and u dey go far

modified
abi u no know say jpes don handle a couple wc qualifier games already?

charlesemeka85:
oga what are u talking abt? No be Egu coach the team for qualifiers against ghana?

he discovered Nwabali? be like say you no dey follow happening leading to the AFCON.

minfelix:
bros if uzoho was doing fine and etching out fine fine performance there wont be an uproar and the coach also saw that we have goalkeeping issue and he decided to look for solutions…He came and met uzoho as a new coach, tried him in several matches before accessing wether he will be our number one going forward.
He is the coach of the team, he also sees what we are seeing…we are not the one seeing it for him…afterall none of us recommend nwabali for him…He discovered the guy and brought him into the fold which many of us were still doubting his ability

na who na, finidi?

charlesemeka85:
na him coach us for World Cup qualifiers? 😳

he no like qualify for world cup ni?

charlesemeka85:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But em dey be me like say jpes just saved all this tactics for this completion

The man na thief 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I dey suspect the man dey receive some tips

charlesemeka85:
Simeone and Mourinho add am for their WhatsApp group 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

but why he no show us this defensive side all this while? you sef know say if not for the uproar, Nwabili no for dey this tourney.. and that won't give our super defenders confidence. all our opponents go dey resort to shots on Uzoho.. I will say things are all playing out for good so far. But I won't give all the credits to this man.. because the man stubbornly wanted to stick with Uzoho and didn't want to change his formation his formation until very recently. E don tey when we dey clamor for a back 3 formation. Even during Rohr's era we said it here.

Peseiro must be talking to somebody with sense.

minfelix:
bros with all due respect abeg, use another lesser word than this harsh “INEPT” you used…oga we played our arch-Afcon rival and they didn’t score a goal against us for the first time..them no see 1short on target…at this point peseiro is a excellent coach
