But football ehnnn na one kind sport,even if you day lead 2 zero your mind nor go come down because anything can happen,in the Nigeria game my mind was beaten until the final wistle

But the problem of this ivorian side is lack of experience,they are good,you nor day carry inexperienced players against Elite like egypt

Very true o
If you snooze, you lose

See this outside of the foot pass by Iwobi to Osimhen for the second goal
That pass would make modric proud any day..

Maximum respect Iwobi..

Symphonic. Replay-worthy from Nigeria. 🇳🇬#TotalEnergiesAFCON2025 | #WePlayDifferent pic.twitter.com/lXMYpe2zuK

Mujtahida:
Baba e no vanish. I think hot competition is bringing out the best in our players. See Bright today na.

Zaidu might come in and steal the spotlight.

Very true

Tinneh:
Thank you ERIC CHELLE, in my Gen Z lifetime watching the super eagles,I have never seen us play so DOMINANT in a tournament like this...

You know ball

TheSuperNerd:
When Osimhen assisted Akor Adams for the 2nd goal thanks to that brilliant Iwobi through pass, please who else noticed how Lookman celebrated the goal by running to Osimhen, hyping him up.

That was the moment for me. The 2 APOTYs coming together again to acknowledge insane teamplay.

Team spirit 💯

AndSunGorilla:
Morocco and Algeria are not friendly neighbors. They would rather lose to Nigeria than Algeria sef. I don't know why they dislike each other.

Both nations have a diplomatic row
It's political sha

123jamessmith:
That real Madrid player for Morocco, I dey fear that guy. He dey play like who dey on drugs. If we can cut him off, we will defeat morocco

He's not that special

Meliforme:
A lot of people have in the past labelled the present crop of Super Eagles players as average.
An opinion that i kept refuting.

I kept insisting that what we needed was a better coaching.
It is now clear for every one to see.

Clear like DStv o

No chop am no chop am, na Zodane pikin

Lokkk

He send am to go buy groundnut
Lol

Dannyxy:
Inexperience just dey worry Ivory Coast. Egypt just using sense..

Dazzal

Goke7:
Our boys too ensured that they started talking to the referee from the first minute to prevent the Algeriansfrom intimidating him

I like that we stepped up too
We were not soft today at all
We sef, we man up well!!

Theobangs:
Either they purposely drag the ball to penalty,then nail you then.

Or they score 1 goal and lock up their defense,
Or one last minute shot in injury time.

If Nigeria day play desame way them day play for tournament we go day clamour for their head,but one way or the other they sabi squeeze result.........the day I fear Egypt was watching the 2010 afcon finals,Ghana literally throw their life at Egypt from the 1st minute to injury time,then boom last minute shot finish Ghana

I'm telling you..

Blueelf:
But I also think we should start moving on from Moses Simon after this tournament

Not that I hate him oo but what do y'all think?

Yes
He should be phased out of the team

9JAMac10:
Ivory Coast can't get a shot. Egypt defenders are blocking everything.

I say Egyptian guys go die there

Kog45:
Moroccans fans support Nigeria massively today...who see Sisi Alagbo for stand today,the lady wey feel die for Osimhen

Yes o
Moroccan fans really turned up for us

Procashtips:
Nobi Bruno play Zaidu position, wetin concern Osayi for the comparison?

Lol
Na mistake

Kog45:
If Osimhen can replicate his second half performance against Morocco we're beating them...

He will

Theobangs:
Egypt always play the shittiest football,those kind football way day pain for eye,yet one way or the other they always reach the finals .

When it comes to cunny man football and slipping against the odd I give am to egypt

Very true
Especially in tournaments

Goke7:
make CIV dey go house abeg I want them out

That makes 2 of us

M7even:
Whenever you guys are on other social media platform, go there and give credit to the referee for doing a good job. Do not let the one sided narrative of the opposition overshadow the good side of the referee.

The referee was massive today!
Very decisive and refused to be bullied by the Algerians
Took charge of the game really well and asserted his authority..

Massive performance by the referee!
Maximum respect!

JayromWrites:
The match started during work hours, so I followed most of it online. On my way home, the driver was streaming the match while driving,very risky, but the excitement was unreal. When Nigeria scored the first goal, the whole car erupted.

When I got to my junction, the driver refused to collect payment.

He was Hausa and Muslim.

Don't judge the north by the actions of some stupid fools.

Thank you for this
God bless you

Cocony:
ONLINE AND NEWSPAPER HEADLINES WILL BE LOVELY IF ONE READS THIS:
SUPER EAGLES DISCOMBOBULATES DESERT WARRIORS IN A COLD DESERT WITH 2:0 WIN!

We totally discomfited them
The scoreline does not tell the story at all

Theobangs:
Omo Egypt don score oooo,he go choke for ivory coast

This Egyptian team day play shit,but nor allow them score first

They will defend this goal with their lives
Though ivory Coast have what it takes to turn it around

9JAMac10:
Knowing the kind of dramatics " the north Africans do when it comes to football, Nigeria should expect the worst in terms of theatrics, tantrums and lopsided officiating against Morocco on Wednesday . Tunisia 2004 semifinal comes to mind.

If we score clean goals like we did today, and hold the midfield like we did today, then nothing for them

do4luv14:
Zidane go begin wonder why em come watch em boy today sef

😂😂😂

Goke7:
Transfer fee for Iwobi for don double now o 😂

Man needs to be in a top 6 team
But Fulham don dey climb table, so nothing spoil..

jihday:

You're not nice
😂😂

AndSunGorilla:
The whole has to cross the line.

The whole ball crossed the line

do4luv14:
Crush will be like an understatement, we will maul Dem,

kingphilip:
