There is always that year in a Man's life. Mine was the 2005 FIFA U20 WC. I was on Youths service in a remote village. I missed all our group matches, plus the second round match. I managed to watch our quarter final game against Holland because I traveled to Lagos for an aptitude test. But for the semi and final, I traveled a long distance to go watch them and came back to the corpers lodge at the middle of the night

Oh my God it was 1999 in Dutse Jigawa state,nothing like GSM and the satellite network was bad,am always on the road to Wudi(police college) in Kano State to watch matches cos a friend was serving in police college.

Icon4s:
I am being positive in the game against Egypt. We are supposed to win that game.

Chief,yes is a game we must win but a draw is not bad.We must not start Afcon on a losing note.

Icon4s:
All this Algeria you people are mentioning. This is the AFCON .Make e no shock una o

The only upset that came up was Zambia winning it in 2012 and relatively 2013 due to highly rating of Cote d'voire team.If any of Algeria,Senegal,Nigeria,Tunisia,Cote d'voire,Egypt wins it not a surprise but outside aforementioned teams then we can talk of upsets.

samtol4:
Well said bro. The second round fixture likely to be Algeria vs Egypt or Algeria vs Nigeria �� from what I saw on the fixtures

We just need to do the needful against Egypt,at least a draw.

Curtisaxel10:
The man is injured bro.

Any update on Musa injury.

samtol4:
So much talk about the Algerian team. No doubt the Algerian team is very good, however, in every tournament, upsets do happen. In 2012 Star-studded Ivorien team could not defeat Zambia even after being awarded a penalty. In 2013, again, the less fancied Nigerian team defeated Ivory coast, including Drogba, Toure & Kalou. In 2019, Egypt playing at home lost to SA. The Benin Republic defeated Morrocco. Watch out for upsets!

Yes you are right,upsets do happen but we just need to rate different teams on paper and I want to say Algeria is a team to beat,also Senegal but Nigeria,Tunisia,Egypt and Cote d' voire are not pushover.

humility33:
You expect too much from this guys


Don't be surprised this technical and coaching crew members are not even engaging in something like you put up there or it come across their mind

Sir,is a must for any technical team to engage in tactical analysis like that of Dr Terry.....even in 2013 during Afcon Sylvanus quicksilver Okpala did the same thing for Keshi.

Akinkumi Amoo missed Afcon due to CAF disapproval to replace Odion Ighalo.Eguavoen also considered Silas Nwankwo but eventually picked Amoo but CAF said No.

Odunayaw:
I'm +1 today. Any birthday mate here?

Happy birthday ODUN

humility33:
This man deliberately omitted the foreign born players when he compiled the initial list

Just imagine his lame excuse for technical director not to be knowledgeable of how a super eagle player who plies his trade in Holland top league plays.

I said some of us here are more knowledgeable than many of this ex internationals who are too lazy to even use YouTube and Google to abreast themselves

And this is the man Goodjoe have been defending all over. Goodjoe have been assuming all this while dude may not be that knowledgeable sef

Glad pinnick already opted for a foreign coach

Oga humility,just give Eguavoen little respect.He is the coach and has every right to decide who he wants to work with.....how I wish you can stop this foreign born of a thing,they are all Nigerian for God sake.

Sir,only a dropped Akpoguma would have made it if Rohr is still in charge.....pls what do you want Eguavoen to do after injury to Shehu he called Ebuehi,so what a fuss about this foreign born.....I want Dessers too but not a big deal if Eguavoen doesn't rate him cos Rohr too didn't rate him.....let him continue doing his best,post Afcon still on the way.

Emotionally am not happy he is not in the team,not cos of football reasoning but being a Belgian and preferred to play for Nigeria.

Good Pinnick went for a foreign coach but I want to tell you that Peseiro is not better than Austin Eguavoen,Samson Siasia,Finidi George and Emma Amuneke,apart from being white,damn sorry to sound like a racist.

JohnBullMySon:
I think Eguavoen will bring Dessers if the finance if the NFF is ready to pay the fine. Our striking department is low now and he knows it. He left out Dessers because he want to replace the Initial players who pulled out from the 40 man list. Going outside that list may have been somehow.

Before the team left there was strong deliberation on Dessers but Eguavoen not really pushing for it.If he really want Dessers there is no way NFF will not pay the fine.Truly the CF position is too thin we need another CF to complement them but Iheanacho is available sha.

TFLASHOGEE:
Zuchylinks and him darling daddy rorh don mess up with their nonsense ighalo propaganda now the egbon adugbo ighalo don make our number 9 vacant with him yeye terrorist name club Al Shabab ekuke team forming super hero on our national team and pinnick isn't ready to pay a fine to bring in dessers

Eguavoen not sold on Dessers,Pinnick is ready to pay the fine.

Englandboy:
watch and see the wonders ,if our players can come together and play Like a team without been selfish to each other am sure we can win the Afcon, they should learn from the Algeria national team they don't have much star player's like us,but they play like a team

Sir,are you saying we have more star players than Algeria?hope you see that midfield comparison Kokmne made between Nigeria and Ghana,I was like what....As you said team work does it.

Englandboy:
Davido don buy 5th house for banana island , some guys here want to fight themself over football issue, they are even comparing there height and size
to know who is the strongest,becausee of football discussion

Haha English man,pls leave Oga Idenna and Charles alone...naso he dey happen here sometimes but nothing more,as andrew always say na cruise.

Congratulations to Davido but that does not secure happiness... I have guys and some are here who are not that rich but are living a quite good life,nice family,traveling for vacation,watching EPL live,watching world cup live,some already prepared for Afcon to watch it live....flexing with ease.

maidaboi:
I am not saying Nwakali is the best thing since slice bread I just saying because you didn't make at one club is not the end of the world

Oga Mai,Kekechi Nwakili should thank God for using Austin Eguavoen for this lifeline...what a great opportunity for him to show case his talent....Player like Ekong,Maduka used super eagles to boost their careers,so nothing wrong if Nwakili can do the same.

All the talks on Nwakili here that he can do this and that were just sign of love,nothing much to say on his club career and I know the man was not comfortable with his situation.

The young man has been struggling to hit it but things are not working out,not that he is not talented but things are not just going in his way and it happen in football...Awoniyi,Sadiq and Osimehn faced similar situations but turned it around.

As it stand Nwakili is behind Iwobi,Aribo and Onyeka,no matter how we try to put them side by side.....I listened to Eguavoen on Nwakili...he said he is a promising player and he love his style of play but he will need to work harder to displace those on ground.

Nwakili,Olisa and Olayinka are gatecrashers who must put extra effort in training,same thing with Sadiq and Awoniyi but the duo will find it a bit easier due to non availability of Osimehn,Onuachu and possible Ighalo.

When a player we love is not finding it easy at club level we results to club form is different from national team form but the one we no send we results to what has it done in his club.

I wish the 28 man team very well cos I saw that zeal,commitment,love and unity when they are departing yesterday.

andrewbaba44:
Una Dey make this osimhen miss too serious

Other strikers that’s available might just do the job well

Yes cos I rate Osimehn highly...if you don't know Awoniyi is my son but it would have been good to have Osimehn and Onuachu in this Afcon.

forgiveness:
Osimhen misses chances too. Let us tell ourselves the truth.

Sure.

ChrisKels:
Well, let's see how it goes. I'm not really sold on Awoniyi, maybe I haven't really observed him closely, but he tends to miss more than he scores and that could harm the team in a match where chances are scarce.

Sadiq is a good striker with a little deft touch of Kanu while Awoniyi is a poacher,who is beginning to gain more confidence in front of goal,not really as aggressive as Osimehn.

Sir,Sadiq Umar miss scoring chances than Taiwo Awoniyi.

Sure we will miss Osimehn but Eguavoen should play to the strength of the strikers available.

humility33:
Awoniyi problem is him not been aggressive and hungry enough

There is something Oshimen and Ighalo brings when they play...They're always hungry and aggressive that alone is something expected of a striker...

Awoniyi is like the morientes kind of striker. A gentleman kind of striker.... not aggressive and that only will make me pick even Dessers ahead of him... I don't know much about Sadiq in that aspect

Sir,Awoniyi cannot be Osimehn or Ighalo,he has his own style of play and this resulted to 14. goals this ongoing season......A player with 14 goals is not hungry? and you preferred Dessers with 4 goals to a striker doing it in top 5.

Sadiq is a good striker with technique,hope he comes to the party in this Afcon.

ChrisKels:
The number 1

Maduka Okoye not yet convincing enough....Francis Uzoho failed to build up on his world cup performance....Daniel Akpeyi old guy but till today confidence issue.....Noble not rated even in Enyimba.

It's either Okoye or Uzoho but I prefer Uzoho.

Ahmed Musa later traveled with the team to Cameroon against some reports...the team departed with fun from Abuja international airport...I saw great bond among the players,really surprised seeing Nwakili carried Semi Ajayi luggage,meaning Arsenal bond...Olisa na real niggar o....Musa steal the show with Hausa guys around hailing him.Awoniyi damn humble...Iwobi and Aina are real comic guys ..senior man Iheanacho as usual funny die...Ekong first to enter airport terminal...Ndidi cool..Onyeka na real tank o....Aribo solo man.....Maduka was hailed at the airport as president of association of fine boys....Sadiq too cool o....Ejuke,Awaziem dey blow Igbo like kilode....Akpeyi real mature man.....Uzoho gentleman with strong face....At last 25 players made the journey,trio of Ebuehi,Collins and Ighalo if he was able to secure his release will join the team in Garoua Cameroon.

ChrisKels:
Ndidi-Aribo-Iwobi has been tested and the result often came out negative, hence the urge to get Nwakali aboard the ship, to try to utilize Aribo's new found mojo as an AM, while Nwakali conducts as Ndidi shields.

I would bench Iwobi

Sir I don't see Nwakili starting unless he does something extra ordinary to the build up to our first match....am still seeing Eguavoen going for Ndidi-Aribo-Iwobi and their performance would be the key for Nwakili to unlock.

TheSuperNerd:
I saw many of your posts asking why Nwakali was not yet in Camp and I wondered to myself why you didn't know that he had a game on Jan.2 while you were hurt crying out, calling him unserious and all sorts.

See Humility, you have to learn to verify things before you spill. Coz it's funny when you make statements only to be shown how out of place that statement actually is. Lol


And I can tell that you haven't watched Nwakali at all in recent times. So what gives you the confidence to talk about him this way? A player you haven't watched or assessed recently to reach these conclusions?

Here are his sofascore ratings of the last 5-6 games leading up to Jan.2. I guess they are the ratings of a sluggish lazy ass player.

Sir,it's a pity that young highly rated Nwakili then find himself in this situation,so expect lashing,his last six matches cannot be used to rate the young man.....Kelechi Nwakili should thank Eguavoen for this golden opportunity,now left for him to prove doubters wrong.

TheSuperNerd:
There will be games Onyeka needs to start. But there will also be games where he needs to sit on the bench coz Ndidi is number 1 at CDM. Onyeka is naturally his backup right now.

And a misfit is gonna rep you and all of us at the Afcon. I guess that makes all of us misfits right? Lol

Till today am not sold on Ndidi and Onyeka starting together....why not Ndidi-Aribo-Iwobi or Ndidi-a rejuvenated Nwakili-Aribo.I always see Onyeka as a natural back up to Ndidi.

andrewbaba44:
Idenna I can see your statement about awoniyi

Smh

Hmmm,Andrew digging into archives sometimes,some would be surprised making such damn statement but guess what some comment have hidden agenda that was known to the writer but it will only take a very intelligent person to uncover the real motives behind such comment.

When i saw that comment on Awoniyi I just read it and moved on cos it was totally uncalled for.....I remeber Sadiq terrible season with Ranger in scottish league but did you see any condemnable post on Sadiq cos he can come good in the future......Nwakili till today has not prove anything as a professional player but did you see such a terrible post on him,except normal football criticisms cos we believe he has the talent but very unfortunate with his early football development.

That remark on Awoniyi was damn too much and murdered the poor boy as a footballer,not criticism but total killing of a spirit of a young man trying to make it out as a footballer.

The same Awoniyi is doing well now and I hope he does it with style in coming Afcon with the likes of Sadiq,Nwakili,Olayinka,Ndah cos people are waiting for their performances to nail Eguavoen.

I don tire for this world....traveling to UK and poisoned by friends.

Na so a lady wanna marry for my area na so friends almost stop the wedding by cooking up stories against their friend but the groom no send dem,he went on with the wedding.

Ladies with too many friends are always end up regretting,with tears.

Even guys with many friends always end up regretting.

Man, I have just been watching your YouTube channel grow and grow. Sometimes found myself looking at the videos from on there.

Good to see you still cracking it My Man. Good to be back and Good to see you.

Welcome TheSuperNerd hope you bring your old man along Icon4s.

How about Dessers

Odion Ighalo was given till 5pm yesterday to sort things out but according to news filtering in,possibly he has been replaced by Dessers,so we don't expect Dessers to be in camp by now.

Aribo in yesterday night and Chuckwueze in this morning.....Ebuehi will fly straight to Garoua Cameroon after Venezia vs Salernitana match on Thursday evening,still expecting Collins.
