AFCON: Comoros to field outfield player as goalkeeper vs Cameroon after Covid outbreak in squad
Comoros' first-choice goalkeeper Salim Ben Boina is injured and their other two keepers, Ali Ahamada and Moyadh Ousseni, are isolating; watch how Comoros get on vs hosts Cameroon on Monday in the Africa Cup of Nation
See gobe

Didn't they come with 4 goalkeepers?

humility33:
I have begin to think that this guy have strong political backing

We may end up loosing this AFCON and not making much progress in football if our politicians begin to bring in sentiments as to who should play and sit on the bench

So a coach should not hold talks with a player in areas he feels he should improve?

So you prefer he leaves him out of the squad in this AFCON without any contribution to the team till the end?

Not everything is a political agenda please.

andrewbaba44:
Salisu is not interested in playing for Ghana as of now

His first call up he withdrew due to injury ,his second call up was at 2020 while playing for real Valladolid he said he wasn’t interested in playing for the national team then

They didn’t bother calling him for afcon because he already stated that he is not ready for international football ,he said he want to focus on playing for Southampton,he has battled with injuries at the epl

Andrew allow agenda to agend o.

He will pretend not to know. Or he expects them to arrange red carpet from England to Ghana before he will know they tried.

EgusiShankly:
Play the first leg at home, we will qualify.

I think Ghana will be home first.

From what I read previously, the non seeded countries will play at home first.

But I may be wrong sha.

It hv red

If to say na Safarigirl post am now you for talk

The Key is early relationship.

I really don't know a EPL Academy that doesn't have a good number of Nigerian origin players at every level of their academy.

You create relationship early but we don't.

The reason is very clear there is no personal pecuniary advantage to be gained by our NFF officials and so they are not interested.

You may find this hard to believe (Maybe),but I have reached out to NFF officials and had some discussions. I can see they are not really interested.

So for every youngster with Nigerian origin (over 10,000 as you stated in this thread sometimes ago) we should maintain a relationship with them?

How do you suggest we do that please?

kris:
Did you know that the bracket on cafonline website is different? I wonder which one is right.

Maybe it is yet to be updated with the matches played yesterday

semid4lyfe:
Baba, drop the agenda.

They are guest referees from CONCACAF, the continental football authority for North, Central America and the Caribbean region and are present in the AFCON as part of an inter-confederation skills exchange program between CAF & CONCACAF.

I see nothing wrong in it.

I want AFCON to develop to the level where teams from other confederations are invited to participate just like is obtainable in the Copa America & Gold Cup.

There was no agenda intended.

Regarding the last paragraph, no top teams from other confederation will join afcon maybe in the distant future but not any time soon.

Like that Copa America scenario, I'm not sure we will be having it because there are too many teams in CAF unlike in CONMEBOL where there are only 10 teams.

I hope this really motivates them to win the trophy.

The promise of award to the team is worth commending unlike the promise made to the under 17 in 2009 that was individualist and made us lose the final to Switzerland.

CornOak:
There's another one from Guatemala.

Is it that we can't get the referees that can handle AFCON within Africa or what?

We are meeting Tunisia

He deserves whatever sentence he gets.

This one wey him prosecutor and presiding magistrate na women, na maximum sentence him go get and him deserve am.

The days are really evil.

A 5 year old child. What will 6m do to you compared to your freedom?

May God not allow this evil eyes of individuals filled with greed see our people.

Sportilitica:
@Komken Nwakali had a decent game and as I was praying he is best using his opportunity to show us what he could do. I really loved his set pieces which could prove to be useful in tight matches. I would hope he works on his defending though. Too soon to mention his name along Mikel because the gulf in class is clear though I can see potential. As for Sadiq he really needs to sort his personal issues out and I also do not think he should play with Nacho as both don't mark.
Please who was the new substitute with dreadlocks that played right back?
That guy is good. Would love to see more of him. You will always know a natural baller.

Olisah Ndah, former NPFL player but presently in the South African League.

poshemmanuel:
Thomas partey already in bench for Arsenal

Na night bus him follow go back?

You don't use the Super Eagles to learn work or complete your apprenticeship.

You come to the SE as a complete player not to come and learn work.

Umar Sadiq is the worst player in the current squad without question followed by Nwakali.

I would rather have short man Moses Simon playing as a center forward than Sadiq 100%. Just as Raheem Sterling does for England.

The modern game with modern proficient players, particularly forward players many can play center forward as well as wing. Rashford, Mane, Salah, Antonio, Benzema, Mbappe, etc

Hence I would rather have Olayinka and Onyekuru up from than Sadiq.

Cote d'Ivoire have scored Kessie neat goal from a Pepe pass.

But you didn't tell us about the pass that led to the Super Eagles goal yesterday.

Or was it dirty?

GeneralDae:
Ivory coast don score.

Make them maintain the tempo.

Algeria suppose go house too.

komekn:
But we can have Umar and Sadiq plus Onyekuru.

Where did you get the first two people from?

I'm not sure they're in the Super Eagles team o.

fabyom:
Olayinka is not a striker he is a winger! I don't know why peeps are clamoring for him to lead the line. Sadiq has great positioning and good ball control. He will get better with time.

But we don't have the luxury of time in this tournament

Moye04:
My people abeg shey dey don do draw? Na which country nija dey meet with next?

Draw don de from start of tournament.

We are facing the top third placed team in either group B, E or F.

Group E and F is playing today so after the matches, we'd know our next opponent

humility33:
Pls dont loud it

Let's assume he was match rusty

Did you also give this match rustiness excuse for Sadiq yesterday or Nwakali in his few minutes against Egypt?

MetalJigsaw:
New record: Nigeria has never won all three group matches in the past.

By the way, wetin Cerezo dey give Simon chop?

Only Cerezo has done that and this is his second time doing it too.

Did the first 16years ago

komekn:
Left to Rohr there would have been a lot more Nigerian origin players from England in the team.

But the NFF hierarchy and a number of coaches kicked against it.

You mean we could have gone further to roll more carpets than only the red carpet we rolled?

This is getting interesting.

Can you brief me on who and who would have been added and how they were worked against please since you have details about it?

Good morning all.

Can someone help me with how to do a video on my Redmi 9 with less size?

I did a video of 2 minutes and it was close to 240mb.

The only advice I'll tell you is to stop begging and use that energy to look for work.

Hunger has a way of resetting individuals to default.

Na because you still de see money from begi begi de make you still de punt and carry women.

Kriss216:
Shameless employer of labour!


You want to shitt where you eat.

You de mind am?

If you look well now na one mushroom company him get o and instead of to invest more into building the company and his home with his wife and kids he is investing in his emotions.

If to say I know the girl I for tell am to reck am make him come back to him senses

Na where the downfall of a Man start from be that.

I no blame people wey de call you SIMPle man sha.

komekn:
There is a Misconception that Rohr selected the team on a Me, Myself and l basis. No , not at all there was all kinds of input from all kinds of stakeholders.

Since you're privy to how the selection were made, can you please feed us on how it went?

Especially for me I want to be enlightened.

mostob:
abeg calm down... Wait till list is out before starting your 'local coach' campaign.

Help me ask him if Rohr was Nigerian when he was starting Shehu over Aina and Ebuehi or Awaziem over them both.

komekn:
There has been long History of our local coaches and the NFF pursuing agendas based on conflicting interests.

It's beggars belief that Onyeka is not starting.

It makes no rational sense that Nwakali will be benching Onyeka because he is the only one that can do long ball.

Nigeria we hail thee

I think Rohr is a Nigerian too for starting Shehu when almighty Aina and Ebuehi was always invited.

Astrid4:
The bolded says alot about you

Can you and Idennaa find an abandoned thread to treat this issue please?

I personally don't want to be skipping pages for what is not AFCON related this period.

Thanks as you both understand and cooperate.
