COOL10:
What a match!!! 😎

i was expecting similar thing against Algeria .. but they forgot their playing boot ... fear grabbed them

this cant be any scientific research , but pure reasoning and simple arithmetic idle mind is the devils workshop ... no be when you dey idle u go think about big breast ....a busy mind will always think less of sex .. so what is scientific about this ?

yinkeys:
Abeg on all the Ai's
Which team are they predicting to win the AFCON

SENEGAL VS EGYPT -SENEGAL
NIGERIA VS MOROCCO---NIGERIA

SENEGAL VS NIGERIA ----NIGERIA ---- THANK ME LATER



you dont need AI : just apply wisdom and logic .

Spainever:
Why was Akor Adams not invited at the beginning of the world cup qualifiers? The coach prefers to invite Sadiq , Musa and Awoniyi

if you understand the principle of time and season .. you will understand why .....

minfelix:
Morocco playing poorly against our baby group Team Tanzania and struggling to a 1-1 draw with 10man Mali, them go chop am for our hand…Morocco will not beat this Algerian team i initially took as our first real test…
see ehhn Nigeria should not b far from 1st in Africa…we don’t have business dropping to 3rd in Africa…a team that has played 16 semifinal out of 19 afcons….imagine the number of final we have played…we suppose dey count like 9 to 10 Afcon trophy.
from age grade soccer male and female to senior team to super falcons Nigeria is really a giant…NFF is is really killing us…especially with some kind mumu appointments of coaches over the years
-Berti Vogt🤦🏽‍♀️
-Lar Lagaback
-Finidi George
even this Bruno Labalaba that turned us down sef would have been another white carpenter…..you see attacking minded coaches like the Cape Verdean coach, Eric Chelle, Late Keshi even the DRC coach are the kinda fearless coaches we need

my worry now is NFF after the AFCON , They may come up with an agenda to remove our manager , i have seen it happen before . the g lass house doesnt like success . Let keep sounding it to their ears , come what may leave Eric Chelle to keep doing his job ,

mostob:
Chai! How man go do now?
Na to split screen. One half for fawanews, another half for cricfy. Two victories for me by God's grace.

you want negotiate that one again , you go leave Chelsea Arsenal , Watch Super Eagles now , their value done rise since yesterday , from the manager to the backroom staff .

This AFCON tournament has been electrifying from the very beginning—not just because Nigeria is still in the competition, but because of the many beautiful moments of solid football on display. Overall, African football has clearly improved, and AFCON is now starting to look even more interesting than the European Championship.
I don’t know if you guys feel the same way, but that’s honestly how it feels to me.

Mujtahida:
So now Morocco presses, Nigeria presses. Who will outpress the other now. I want us to take charge of the game from the first blast of the whistle. If we beat Morocco, walahi that cup is ours

na person wey fit press pass , or person wey him hand pain pass too

TheSuperNerd:
@emboldened... At halftime, I said Iwobi will keep doing what he is doing. He will find that gap and he did brilliantly for Nigeria's 2nd goal.

The Algerians were too careful in the 1st half and sometimes lucky when some of Iwobi's final third line breakers didnt punish them.

Iwobi, take your huge flowers for consistently probing and exploiting the gaps in between the Algerian midfield-defensive lines and the half spaces especially on the medial left side. A true Eagle Eye.

And let me add that defensively, Iwobi put it his best defensive shift of the Afcon so far today. Kudos Iwobinho!

we technically played against 10 men Algerian team . one was a police running after Osimhen and forgot his core duty ....

ChrisKels:
They didn't give us any respect, we forced out the respect from them with the way we approached the game from the first blast of the whistle. We were breathing down on them and they became jittery

We showed up all armed ready to unalive them.

hahaha all armed with bow and arrow , sword ,aka47, nikita ,rocket launcher and the rest ... we were so deadly ... VAR wasnt in our favour . we played against all odd

ChrisKels:
Their boys wanted to fight, we for still use blow comot their teeth join the win wey we win dem.

they gave SE too much respect , they couldnt come out to play their game ....at a point they were clueless . Chelle made them to look weak

what a good game , a match to rewatch and rewatch again ..... thank you Chelle for giving us a Super Eagles that we deserve.... they all played for one another .... if not for the goal and Assist , i would have given my Man of the match to Iwobinho ... he has raised his game ... Even Osayi was a beast ... Joined Bassey in the beast mode ...

this look like a wrong substitution ...

i never knew the match is for 5pm , already planned to watch by 8pm ... Chai! we are going to enjoy the game , come what may . its a match to watch . an open game for the 2 attacking sides . SE has a lot to play for . if Algerian lose , they are still going to the WC ..... lets just enjoy the game .

joelsteron:
Yhe Algerians are likely to sit mid-block and deny us access centrally early. Where we have Lookman. And when the game is tight and compact early, a pure box striker like Adams and Osimhen can get isolated. It will make more sense to start with a fluid front line, create overloads, progression from wide areas. and pull Algeria out of position which was why i feel Chelle might deploy Chukwueze tomorrow.

Algeria will not seat back , they play attacking football , they will come out and play because they have some good wingers ... we will outscore them ... a repeat of what happened in 2 years ago , but this time we are winning

Unfortunately, I didn’t watch the entire match. I followed it from kickoff to the end of the first half, and then again from the 75th minute to full time. From what I saw, Cameroon didn’t have the capacity to beat that Moroccan side. Morocco were in full control and simply enjoyed themselves throughout the game.

Cameron back line is trying too much ... i doubt if they will get a draw

Mali with the super-ultra defensive style of play still chop goal ..... they made it look as if there is a goal drought in the Afcon

Spainever:
For Congo to have draw Senegal it means the Congolese team is a very good side

that is not how it is .... a dead Ghanian team will always give SE headache ... not because they are good , just because we have been rivals for many years .

Senegal understood the assignment . keeping it simple

mekabuachi:
Sadly, alot of Nigerian journalist dislike him... if you go Twitter the kind of hate that man receives Omo

These days, Nigerian sports journalists hardly do proper research. Many have become lazy—lifting content from here and other sports platforms. Conversations that start here end up circulating everywhere. Gone are the days when you genuinely looked forward to hearing from journalists or reading sports news. Now, it’s something else entirely.
Most of the negative stories you read about him are simply engagement farming. That’s why it’s important to be mindful of what you consume on the internet. First-hand information about the Super Eagles often comes from here, and from a few unique individuals who focus on quality content on YouTube and Twitter.

So forget the negative news about Chelle. We should appreciate him for the good work he’s doing. The record is there to speak for him.

You guys should stop the panic. The Algerians are even more worried about the Super Eagles.
We are the only team with a 100% record in this AFCON, with plenty of goals to show for it. We’re topping the goal chart, our players are leading the goal-contribution chart, and our attacking line is top-notch. Algeria cannot afford to switch off for even a few minutes—they will pay dearly for it.

This time, it’s not just about the Super Eagles; it’s about pride. The only way to redeem the image of this team is to win the AFCON. The Super Eagles must win it—nothing less.

So stay calm, guys. It’s one game at a time. Let’s just pray we’re not unlucky, especially with refereeing decisions. The energy in camp is high, and the boys know exactly what’s at stake.

Let’s enjoy the game. 🇳🇬🦅

Rohr and Mumu theories

Mujtahida:
Blueelf, TheSuperNerd has touched all the vital points. For added emphasis on the Iwobi point you raised, watch this analysis

this is a very detail analysises , thumbs up. the analyst and who posted this . you deserve a flower . Ugwu leave to be precise

dominique:
Is Tunisia not a real test? A team that didn't lose and conceded just 1 goals throughout world cup qualifiers.

Benin and Tunisia were real tests—even Tanzania to an extent. Yet many people still don’t believe in Eric Chelle or the Super Eagles, mainly because of the failure to qualify for the World Cup.
This team has already made up its mind to make Nigerians smile again, and that’s why we’re seeing the best of their football. It’s been a long time since we saw almost 80% of the squad firing on all cylinders at the same time.
Let’s give them the benefit of the doubt, guys.
Nigeria is beating Algeria.

zicky:
Banter, That's the beauty of football (AFCON) nothing to fine or punish there.

CAF president should also take picture with Amoura for mimicking the so called DRC statue and fallen down... i love the moment he did it ...


they will not forget that in a hurry

The last time we played Algeria, they were like a gang—well-organized, united, and playing as one. They had a good coach, strong chemistry, and did everything together. Coincidentally, that was the same year they went on to win the AFCON.
I believe we now have the advantage. The Super Eagles are united, playing with high intensity, and showing real togetherness. This will likely be the toughest match at the quarterfinal stage, and we should expect plenty of spectacular moments.

We must be ready to beat them—there is no room for error. The Algerians are fast and dangerous on the counterattack. They are threats from long-range shots, set pieces, and even individual dribbles. The Eagles will have their hands full.

A balanced midfield will be key to getting the desired result, and with the quality we have in attack, we have every reason to be confident.

i am predicting the semifinalist to be Senegal ,Morocco ,Nigeria ..... Egypt/Cotedvoire will be difficult to predict .what is your take ?

FiveFootNinja:
You guys are really killing the mood here with these overly fearful predictions.

what kind of mood do you want ?

semid4lyfe:
Ivory Coast 3
Burkina Faso 0

Omo, country wey go win this AFCON go try o.

the final no go too dey interesting pass this group stage and knockout stage , because players go done wear out ... thank God DRC is out them for wear any body out .... my goodness Cameroun is still there , chief of gidigbo football ... anybody camera play with body go tell them

Blueelf:
Algeria have only conceded once all tournament

I'll be wary of them if I were chelle

Chelle would have been wary of Tunisia too , that didnt lose any match until he met SE , and conceded 3 good goals but its good to be wary of opponents that are technical , Algeria has shown that they are good ,if we can beat them it will be be nice ....

Odunayaw:
Only Senegal seems to have an easier opponent. The rest is hell match

yes , their route was easy .
