Valid point sir but another major achievement is qualifying Tanzania for the ANC after almost FOUR decades and since 2019 and Amunike's sack haven't qualified again. However, he failed in club soccer as a manager.

In 2019 Tanzanian qualified under the 24 team format. Any coach can qualify them under this format. We've seen groundbreaking performances from evening teams that might have smaller recognition like Comoros and Mauritania in the AFCON

Camp updates please

D man overpriced himself…I would av loved he took d $80000 offer to continue his work .

I think he wanted to leave. Because if he wants to stay he would have. Nigeria's economic condition presently isn't helping as well. So if glass house offers 80k that's fair enough.

Hayatou isn’t dead, you can do a quick google search

Deltamani:
Yeah yeah.. Their ball playing was quiet okay in the first half but still need to do more, SA game will be less Physical and we have that at edge over them.. The battle will be between the Coaches tactically and how the players keep the ball..,

Echegini like staying close to the Box sha…, I no fit forget when that person say Esther Onyenezide is more Creative than Echegini.. And this is Echegini first time of playing in Nigeria…!



Again it looks like we’re the one’s playing at Home first against SA🥸

South Africa are less physical but they make up for it with pace and swiftness, how good are we to match them for that. Considering their record in Africa over the past three years or so, they beat us in the Aisha Burahi cup as well at home.

Meliforme:
I prefer Salisu to Peseiro. Salisu selected the squad that thrashed Sao tome and Principe 10 unreplied goals. That squad had more balance than the squad Peseiro selected.

And who has been selecting the home-based squad that has failed to qualify us for CHAN and Olympics

charlesemeka85:
Iwobi moved from Preston to Everton and now with Fulham

and which top club u done play for?

I be footballer?

Which Preston (Arsenal) did he move from. You are talking about move from. I'm talking about squad list. At least make player dey make team list for big club steadily. Even when Mikel wasn't starting he will be on bench.

ChrisKels:
Raph Onyedika wanted by Everton, Crystal Palace, Leicester and Brentford.

Why na relegation looking teams dey attract our players these days? What's happening since Mikel left Chelsea we've not had another player in the Big 6 team in EPL.

skallion7:
Onyebuchi Obasi just moved to Valerenga in Norway🇧🇻 on four and half year deal

We used to have a player in the national team play for this club. I think it was Nosa Igbebor

Full time.
Nig 1- 0 Cam

Please Which link is the best so far.

The ref and the guy running the English commentary are biased

shut up and say what you knw

My first time in Ghana was 2007, and I have lived in both Ghana and south Africa. You lived in Nungua and you talk as if you lived in the whole accra, or as if you have lived outside the Greater Accra region. I have experienced all these. Like every new society, integrating takes time. I had lived in Ghana for 4 years, I had moments where I was treated like a stranger because I didn't know the currency or understand how the open market works. Ad that's not bad its just as much as any person will encounter. I did not live in Nungua which is like the equivalent of staying in a place like Ikorodu in lagos. I lived in what was more like a middlebrow environment between Dansoman and East Legon. And I can tell you the quality of people I interacted with were top-notch. There will always be good and bad people everywhere.

Princezibk:
Same here 😩😩

I’m a lady

I almost thought you conveyed your messages like Safarigirl

Joebie:
I don’t think Ghanaians are envious of Nigerians. Maybe we are too showy for their liking.

I think it's evenly balanced. There are Ghanaians who are envious of Nigeria as well as Nigerians who like to bully and oppress Ghanaians, but many of this is limited to twitter and social media banter. It's just a case of push and pull, reaction and counter-reaction. There are good Ghanaians as well as bad Ghanaians. The same way we have good Nigerians and bad Nigerians.

While we missed out of the Qatar World Cup, we took it out on them in the AFCON laughed and jibed them, it is only natural that they(many of them) will not want us to win the AFCON because they saw it as a nail to their coffin. Which I perfectly understand.

Our rivalry is drawn from our colonial history and national language. We are both bordered by francophone nations but then we don't really look at the francophone nations to chat or banter because of language differences.

Our Twitter netizen is possibly larger than Ghana's population at 30 million. I don't think they hate us, perhaps some do, but not in the majority, however how many countries over the world are comfortable having an average Nigerian around or living there. Ghana is second home to Nigerians with the largest numbers of our undocumented citizens living thriving there. If there is a breakdown of law and order right now in Nigeria, the first destination for many will be Ghana. And that's why they worry when we have elections, they are aware that if it does go bad for any reason in Nigeria, many will move to Ghana.

codemaniacs:
According wikipedia:

Ivory Coast is 38% Akan by ethnicity.. while
Ghana is 46% Akan by ethnicity..

Ivory Coast and Ghana are practically one people and one country so stop talking like that...

Ghana will always celebrate Ivory Coast beating Nigeria.. it has nothing to do with envy

same way some Northern Nigerians will celebrate Niger republic beating Nigeria.

What are you saying about northern Nigeria celebrating when niger beat Nigeria? I guess it is the same way southern niger celebrate when Nigeria beat niger republic.

isan:
Make i go rewatch this Australia match for 100th time

That match sweet me for belly. As we take beat the host.

joelsteron:
The main cause of Nigeria's defeat in the AFCON final was the Super Eagles mildfield. The Ivory Coast mimicked Ghana's strategy of choking the middle to prevent us from competing in the world cup. In the middle, Angola and the Bafana Bafana used identical strategies, but Nigeria was fortunate to prevail before going to the final.

This is the point at which Peseiro needs to concentrate on our mildfield for the time being. And I particularly want to that the guy who is being criticized here, that is playing for a relegation team, despite the fact that Nigeria has both championship players and benchwarmers on the same super eagles team. Let's be fair to Nwakali; the truth is that none of the current Eagles players are more adept at playing the position than Nwakali, not even Iwobi in certain areas i don't want to discuss today.

We need to stop these protracted debates, hence JP needs to invite NWAKALI. And if you ask me, I have to admit that in the short minutes he played in that green jeysey, he really impressed me.

No two matches are ever the same in football. But if you were to replay that final again with the same lineup, we would beat Ivory Coast. Our players were visibly exhausted in that final, there was nothing special about Ivory Coast. Play Ola Aina again against Adingra and watch Ola Aina bully him this time around, that finals wasn't ours to be but player-for-player ivory coast wouldn't stand us.

What has happened to our beach soccer team?

This list looks like something compiled by senators.

Are you the one who runs Fajsports?

leathalbeast:
To go n sit on the bench for yacine bonou. Is that a right choice ?

Yes, he should go. Okoye will be in contention for the number 1 spot. He needs to earn the money hopefully they offer him 5 years contract

mrwilliams9:
That’s what I’m saying. That is the beauty of AFCON being biennial. You can have a 3-4 tournaments in an 8 yr cycle. If you keep a competitive team, you can get a run at 2-3 finals/SFs

Cameroon - 2000, 2002 winners
Egypt - 2006, 2008, 2010 winners
CIV - 2012 finalist, 2015 winners
Senegal - 2019 finalist, 2021 winners

We have the attackers, GK, defenders (but will want to add one more CB), wingers and full backs. It’s just the midfield we need to improve

At this point, if the government can bid to host the AFCON it is long overdue. But too many internal problems like economic challenges, insecurity, etc. These can be managed though. If we have to borrow money from IMF let us do it. We need to host and win, if we are not winning we are bullying our way to the finals. I don't care what other African countries think, but one way or the other we must prove to them that we are the real giants here.

lexyman:
dont blame the boys , blame the tactics ... its been a wonderful tournament

One thing I'm glad about is that I didn't feel so hurt like I did when we lost to Tunisia at the last AFCON in cameroun

komekn:
Last 5 minutes you want to go OFFENSIVE

WONDERFUL coach

Lol

komekn:
CIV are wining every second ball

We are not positioned to be offensive just defensive.

Ademola is being over worked and Iwobi is too far bsck to infkuence the game. We have no midfield because of the formation .

Iwobi is gassed out snd making poor decisions.

I quite agree, we forgot how to be offensive. And what did the coach do, he brought in his offensive arsenal and reverted from five at the back to four there, adding another striker.

TheSuperNerd:
Nwabali should have done better perhaps for that ball but he flapped at it. Zaidu also should have gotten to Kessie quicker.

Meanwhile... You see what decisions do. Kessie should have been carded in the first half for that elbow on Zaidu and probably should not be on the pitch but here he is scoring for CIV.

Decisions.

We play on

Kessie's red card. I see why Pesiero got frustrated earlier and got carded for it. He knew they were sabotaging his plans. He wanted to score and have such decisive moment for his team. But his outburst was rather too early, he would have played that card when Zaidu was down. Got carded. Delayed the match and force the VAR team to look at it.

gustav25:
Unworthy lead but football is a game of 2 halves .... Haller owes me 2 goals

😂😂😂😭😭😭

Zellas:
Remove Chukwueze and iwobi for simon and yusuf. This is a very easy match to win

He did too.

CornOak:
Just imagine that intentional elbow foul from Kessie on Zaidu, no foul, no yellow, no VAR check.

CAF just destroyed what they built from the start of this tourney.

Shame.

This will have switched the dynamics of the game in our total favour, considering we were a goal up. I wonder how the Ivorians would have handled that.
