He no be saboteur. When he comes he puts his all. That should be the yardstick.

semid4lyfe:
Perish every thought of Okoye. He is a saboteur and should never think of dorning the Super Eagles jersey ever again.

He should focus on his club career.

dey play..

He lost it because he was not the best to take it psychologically. you cheated.. players left the pitch, and now you have the burden to score whily your conscience dey worry you. His mind could not pick a spot, so he shot at the middle hoping the keeper will dive out of desperation. That is what happened.

joxxy01:
DIAZ threw that penalty away on purpose... Kudos to him..Coz It's the most logical thing to do at that point.

if them like make them put all Morocco players for best XI

And they cryeth in answer to my prayer

o pari

TheSuperNerd:
Honestly I appreciate Senegal's stubborness today.

The true essence of competition is knowing that fairness rules whether I lose or I win.

Morocco can host as many tournaments as they want to in Africa but if they wanna be Champions, they must compete fairly like every other team. The disgusting idea of "rewarding them" on the pitch must never be allowed to stand.

Cry for me Morocco!!!

the message go enter well now

mostob:
Even if they don't win, the message has been passed. CAF is run by cheaters. I'm so happy this happened in front of dignitaries outside Africa.

e just do me like say Naija win this AFCON sweeeeeet!!!

I just pray Senegal win eventually.. e go pain them eh!!!

that was a dive.. he wasn't pulled back forcefully

While this shows lack of patriotism, it also highlights the many successes our country will have achieved if our administrators were patriotic.

Sarsaparilla524:
Chukwueze in Hot Waters for Mocking His Teammates for Being Committed Despite Unpaid Allowances

A video has emerged of an interaction between Super Eagles player, Chukwueze and his teammates ahead of the match against Morocco at the ongoing Nations Cup.

In the viral clip, Chukwueze was seen mocking his teammates, Nwabali and Bassey, for risking their bodies to play despite unpaid allowances and bonuses.

In the clip, Nwabali said, “I never see anything,” and Chukwueze replied: “Una get mind sha o, you haven’t seen your money and you were defending with your life and delaying the time, you even almost inj¥red your knee.”

Many Nigerians are now criticizing him over his statement and linking it to his missed penalty kick during the match against Morocco.

They are claiming the video exposes a lack of respect for teammates’ commitment.

Chelle to continue. Naija to win the FIFA petition I hope

I knew Lookman was gonna put it at the top angle

Nwabali!!!!

Okoye is still good for the team. Nwabali, Okoye, Uzoho. The depth is okay. We will see about Okwonkwo. We should go 3 deep in every position. Zaidu's bench position should be up for grabs as it stand. in CB Bassey, Ajayi, Fredericks, Ogbu. We need two more solid option. At RB, Alebiosu is okay as 3rd choice

Kog45:
NO O Okoye better pass him😩forget his erratic behavior on the field Nwabali na keeper o..Thank you Joebie

Well, Osayi is the most improved because he has been erratic for us. Ajayi has been okay for us, now very solid

TheSuperNerd:
Yes but Osayi reached insane stratospheric levels really high enough to say Aina has a real fight on his hands. It was almost like we were watching Aina's clone. Cant say same on Ajayi who has also had a really solid Afcon.

Be like say Chelle dey make statement on Chuks o

We can say the same about Osayi. But as it stands...

TheSuperNerd:
We did in the first few matches.

Nwabali is good

Not disputing that at all. But we have not missed Frederick in this AFCON.

TheSuperNerd:
Aina has a big fight on his hands.

But you see Frederick, he will bench Ajayi as always. A fit frederick is not gonna be kept waiting for others to show stuff. He brings a lot more to the defence at RCB than Ajayi.

dem don already fight prove themselves. The other duo will need to show that they deserve to reclaim their shirts o
But all the same they are all class in their own right, and have different strengths. That is the depth we want in all the departments

Kog45:
Elder don show up,common provoking.Joebie nailed it with Osayi will give Aina a fight....Aina and Frederick just need to be fit and then they're free to go....na me dey support Osayi even when some don dey rate Alebiosu just cuz of Uganda match but know this I watched football with very open minds I don't loose sleep cuz of any player,haba since 80s

no sentiments o. I follow lash Osayi that time, but that RB now eh, he dey romance am like till death do us path

Goke7:
You Dey provoke some elders here o! 😂

No, Aina wouldn't just walk back in, in my opinion. Even Fredericks wouldn't just walk back in. Ajayi has been very solid.. he has speed damn. I'm not saying Osayi and Ajayi are better but they are near perfect doing their job.

lbrichman2:
I said it earlier
Aina will not walk into this 11 easily
Osayi will give him a good fight

he may have moved it slightly, but it was natural because he was getting ready for a jump. I think the referee took the easier decision. But that wasn't an intentional elbowing

lbrichman2:
I believe because that defender was challenging for the ball

Osayi and Aina, totally different profiles but, at this point, I will say they are at par generally speaking.

oloriooko:
how was that goal a foul?
Onu didn't throw his elbow rather the player ran into his elbow while trying to ready himself for a jump
i wonder how useful VAR is

Osayi to me is the most improved player in this squad and he deserves some accolades

Onuachu is tall. his natural arm position will definitely be where it was. Did he swing his elbows? That is the big question.

lbrichman2:
Tough luck
But I agree with the call

bro.. that you even went to see it on the VAR screen and still ruled that goal out. I was talking to my wife yesterday and I told her that the big teams who felt hard done by, by officiating should send their home based teams in future AFCONs as a protest. I will say focus on the main prize which is the world cup.. We are not trying to settle scores with other African teams. Let's go make big statement at the world stage until CAF put their acts together

CornOak:
Dem dash am yellow card join.

i felt so

Spainever:
Some folks felt Chukueze should have come in earlier against Morocco

lol... AFCON is a joke.. how was that intentional elbowing.. the opponent ran onto his elbow

That Nwaiwu guy is better than Awaziem

Mujtahida:
Awaziem was brought in because of the injury to Benjamin. He's been on the fringes of the team for a long time. I'm not sure he was even at the last Afcon.

Ajayi is still part of the team. He performed well during this Afcon.

IMHO, our current back 4 now have a solid chemistry. I am not denying the fact that Aina and Fredericks will give us better options when they move forward to support the attack. It would be a blessing to have them back. Those are the kind of players you need when you are talking of plan A and B, regardless of who starts. We have depth in defense. As soon as we can say the same for the midfield, we are set for the world stage.

TheSuperNerd:
I am just smiling at the prospect of Benjamin Frederick's return to the RCB role in Chelle's 4312/442 diamond. Chisos! It is earth-quaking.

In this setup, this pair would easily morph into possibly the most press resistant CB pair in Africa. We will invite your press and beat through and around u like u dont exist.

You have these two and buildups takes a new dimension from the back as Benjamin can not only intercept danger early but also drive into space and break lines himself.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am already in 2027 Afcon. I can see the first game play out.

This team is in its prime. They will touch the final in 2027 as long as Chelle is retained. By 2027, Chelle would be nearly 2.5yrs in the Super Eagles job. The Soaking will be complete before Afcon 2027.

the plan B was to prevent Morocco from scoring? I'm not scapegoating. i've had my fair share of takes here. Chelle's plan A is top notch. But that's where the learning comes. He has improved his game management though.

lbrichman2:
What you saw yesterday was the plan B
Our second half and even extra time was better..
Give that game another 30 mins, Morocco would still not have scored
If it wasn't a knockout game, we would have left with 0:0 against a superior opposition
Hardly a terrible result

But as usual, Nigerians always look for a scapegoat
So yes, continue to scapegoat the team and Coach
