MetalJigsaw:
Which elite club has brahimi played?

I Am not talking about club here.
I am simply referring to the "that guy" moment. What's the that guy moment?? Hypothetically this would be watching a football game anywhere and u see a particular player handle the ball or say display some attributes beyond those who he is up against. At this moment your curiosity is piqued to know more about the player, and it starts with the name. You are like What's his name or what number does he wear.

Certainly, with Chelsea winning a European cup and Nigeria winning the Nation's cup. Mikel gave himself a drive to be in the top 3. (p.s I now recall how pained I was that yaya toure whose team could only get to the quarter finals could emerge african player of the year.) but then, you cannot take away the "that guy" moment from toure. My point is it's the same with brahimi with Porto. Mikel had it too, obviously why he came second. But then not consistent enough for any average fan to always want to pick his name up in their memories forever. More-or-less the reasons why the ex Algerian player could not easily mention his name.

You dey watch ball or back of tv ?

Mikel came second behind yaya toure in African player of the year

Noted

timay:
Were are you when Mikel came 2nd behind Yaya Toure in African player of the year 2013.

If you no like Mikel, just say it, rather than insulting the guy by comparing him with brahimi

You go just come shout if u no like mikel tantrums. Abeg keep ur mouth na question to refresh brain I ask for. No be to create foe.

safarigirl:
Na wa o....una go just siddon dey insuly Mikel

Who is Brahimi? Which Algerian player in the last twenty years can smell Mikel if na name?

Na wa o....AFCON winner, UCL winner, Olympic bronze medallist, FA Cup, Premier League.....please, make we no insult Mikel anyhow, just because he came to AFCON with small boys

His accomplishments with a team. Has he been nominated for top 3 African best player??

andrew444:
Mikel is above brahimi and co in terms of NAME, dont go there o, maybe because say baba don old thats why that mumu no see him name call

If you are calling brahimi and feghouli then you should be calling onyekuru because he plays for gala and he is a regular there

Brahimi has consistently put up a good shift at Porto. He can be ranked in that level, just as mikel did with Chelsea. For brahimi His stats will attest to this.

Earthquake2:
We were thinking we have big name players

This guy says 'Nigeria don't have big name players'

He is right, same way we only know Mahrez. As Brahimi, feghouli are on the same ranks with ndidi, Mikel and iwobi.

Every moniker here came from the same place.

Has any team scored first in the knockout stage of this AFCON and eventually end up loosing the game

Madagascar took the lead twice and defeated Dr Congo.

Nigeria too the initial lead against Cameroon and South Africa and eventually won.

Same with Tunisia against Ghana.

Algeria is just gonna win this game following that logic

Supernerd and oasis, we are hear to talk football. If u wanna throw jabs at each other open a thread for that. We are not interested in all these battle for supremacy of whatever kind.

ChrisKels:
Osimhen is fitter than Tammy Abraham. Now I know why Tammy has always failed in the Epl

Haq Haq Haq.. And he will *eventuary* keep failing.

realpoacher:
Lol... See how all the predictions enter bush









No wonder Alabi always gets richer

Lool no wonder Alabi dey bash and tear guys ticket.

.. All ye nairabet fans making Alabi cash out everyday, just imagine the day Egypt lost, am sure many peeps for cry their eyes out

Rohr should start Simeon against South Africa. Simeon is gonna score bookmark this.

Expecting water out of rock is like expecting South Africa's number 9 striker to tuck out his shirt.

I wonder if he uses peg on the shirt.

Benin republic have played four games in this ongoing AFCON, they yet to win or loose any in regular time.

They have played three African giants, which include Morocco, Cameroon and Ghana. In all these matches they did not loose one.

Unfortunately, they have another african giant to play for a semifinal slot, that is Senegal. If they overcome this hurdle, i can confidently say they are the surprise team of the tournament

Nigeria our country.

darkelf:
Still remember when people here used to support Ighalo because of "hold up play".

How time flies

Hold up play when we had a Victor Moses.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life . I was about 10 years old When my mother said to him , ' If you ever Want to see your grandchildren graduate , you have to stop immediately . Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake . He gave it up immediately . Three years later he died of lung cancer . It was really sad and destroyed me . My mother said to me Don ' t ever smoke . Please don ' t put your family through what your Grandfather put us through . " | agreed . At 24 , I have never touched a cigarette . Op I must say , | feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it , because your post gave me cancer anyway

Will u keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep kwayet

Please guys take it easy.... This place ain't no complaints centre...

Morocco in the group stage have played liked Nigeria.. Can we call that championship stuff. They always grind out that one nil win.

Again in the 90th minute against South Africa.
The only difference here in comparison with Nigeria is that they are a much more attacking side unlike Nigeria.

People should learn to use the internet well
It's annoying the kind of stuffs u often find people discuss, talk or criticize on the net.
I am guilty too, but I have leant to be sure of facts, understanding emotions and a whole lot.

Don't just talk because u can. If you cannot improve the silence keep quiet

TheSuperNerd:
I hope someone is not going to question or talk about all these hugs I have been dashing out since yesterday. Abeg just pardon me Biko.... Make I return the welcomes abeg... It's been a long time coming... Lol




If you need hug too, just walk up okay.... it's a beautiful day.
Safarigirl my Safarigirl... No worry, you no need ask sef... You must collect hug..... Just hope Icon79 no go choke becos of am..

Welcome back bro, next time u wanna take a leave let us know, we were concerned. Don't just go AWOL

Why the fight. Oshoala and Ebi I think.

Ebi saying something like "no dey pour me water"
And asisat oshoala flaring up as she is being led away by the coaching crew

forgiveness:
Three players were already warming up on the sideline because he the coach knew we weren't in any favourable position and we needed to change but he was just too slow to respond.

If there were 9 players warming up at the sideline does that mean he wants to play them at that time.

Chai na Andrew be this

Andrew is it true.

(...... We waiting for the time bomb response)

forgiveness:
Why did he later make substitution?

Why wouldn't he, we were not in a clearly favorable position. You watched the match. We were red carded and we needed to believe that what we had on bench could bring much needed results which still didn't work with the 8 mins added time.

Plus we had minor injury worries with oshoala.

I believe these reasons were good enough to make changes. If not why make any in the first instance.

I

forgiveness:
You will make a bad coach then.

Do you know how many shots on goal France had after the substitution?

It's not about shots and possession its about getting a result. We needed a result and the best 11 were on the pitch for that. Barring injuries, we were not down, we had the game just where we wanted to have it, it was still favorable to us.

So why make a substitute if it cannot improve the state of things. Except I was gunning for a win or I doubted my defense ability to keep up with the pressure, then I'd make one.

I think the coach did what many good coaches would have done. Kept the team compact like that. There was no need bringing a fresh leg which can equally be calamitous to our play.

forgiveness:
He should have made changes as soon as France brought in two fresh legs.

This coach did the same thing Rohr did at the world cup. Slow thinking coaches.

Like I knew that's what you were gonna say. He needed no changes we were dealing with those French substitutes well. If I were him, I could even play the 90 mins without any sub or probably substitute oshoala who didn't seem too fit as the game went on

safarigirl:
The fact that you assume my comment is meant to rile you up and not to state a fact, shows that it is you that is obviously frustrated.

Did you answer the question I asked as well? No. The worst you can do is insult dead people, and that is between you and the dead.

It's okay to feel hurt by the loss. But don't try using it to raise moribund issues. You guys have gone past that now

forgiveness:
The coach caused us this game. Tufiakwa!

Forget it, he did no wrong in this game. Look at it for what it is.

We are playing with 10 women and France is still struggling like this. France certainly wouldn't go in this tournament

But that's not what bothers me, they said almost all their team players come from Lyon who are women champion in Europe yet they struggle against us. This only means that we have the raw talents to match these female teams including USA. we just need a proper structure, say proper female league open to neighboring African countries at lest with good incentives and perks.

We can dominate global women football.
Forget the loss today. It means nothing. The girls did play well

Nothing clear about that thing to make it a penalty. The VAR never showed its a penalty. How did that useless woman of a referee come to that conclusion.
She has just cheated us. Or is she scared they'd lynch her if she didn't blow for penalty

This French team wouldn't go far
