Mujtahida:

That's why I hate it so much because it turns our idea of football on its head. It's anti - football. Football is, you play, I play and the better team wins. No be to deny me of the ball by running triangles up and down in crisp fashion. I just don't like it at all. So sterile.

That pattern is also a tactical playing style. It's called possession game.

It's a motive to pull out your opponents from their positions and force them to leave pockets of spaces at the back.

ThunderFireAgba:
Do you think we can displace Morocco at the 12th position if we win AFCON?

Nope. The gap is too wide- 36th to 12th. I think thee highest we can leap is top 25

Oasis007:
Nigeria have participated in 19 AFCON tournaments and have reached the semi-finals 16 times.

We're giants of Africa for many reasons.

To those saying Nwabali hasn't been tested. Has he now been tested or not yet?

Man is an Enyeama Jnr👏👏

Kog45:
Last Afcon Simon Moses was our best player,losing to Tunisia was what make most of us to rubbish the team that got 9 points in the group stage.

That's not true bro. If he actually had no end product he wouldn't be so highly rated in that tournament.

If we went far I'm sure you wouldn't be implying this.

lbrichman2:


Iwobi.. 9/10
Stop criticizing what isn't there
Commend the guy for the good plays and leave it at that
Nothing will happen to you

Oga he's right.

No one is saying he's bad

Iwobi is sluggish his work rate in the middle is obviously overworking Onyeka. He's a midfielder midfielder na

COOL10:



Just a feeling, nothing more.

No lie u don peff somethin🤣🤣🤣🤣

COOL10:
A lot of people are going to laugh at this, but I see Onuachu scoring a bicycle kick in the 86th or 87th minute of today's match


All things are possible, to those who believe

What's the reason behind your prediction?

WantsandMore:
howfa your reality? Can we predict on sentiment now?

He even said "stamp the date" like say him be God🤣🤣🤣

People funny sha😂

maidaboi:
Musa is not useless after all

People are too quick to judge. Experience and motivation matters.

Mujtahida:
Ghanaians media people give the best match analysis. I swear. I enjoy them

link me bro

Curtisaxel10:
If Iwobi mistakenly get injury eh, na then wey all of una go respect am. Iwobi is the most important player in that team as far as I'm concerned. The only irreplaceable player.

If Osimhen gets injured, Moffi and Iheanacho dey. If Iwobi gets injured, we better just pack our bags because he is the only creative midfielder in the entire bloody team.

You're PARTIALLY right.

You know why? Not that he's that good its just that the team is almost like a "pauper" when it comes to that MF department.

You know that "one-eyed man in the land of the blind" adage.

Iwobi is still an average player nonetheless.

A step down for her career.

And would be hard to win African best from there.


Ajibade should step in

Oboto700:
people wey get dead ball finishers don go house... Wetin Dey worry una for this forum? Why most of una no get Sense?

This is just too unnecessary Mr

If you don't grasp the the reason behind his post, better to just ignore.

bisqit:
that guy is supposed to be playing for Enugu rangers. He's below average

So why is he a constant starter under all the coaches that are handling SE (even JP) ever since he joined?

Although he fluffed a series of scoring chances that would have made him a contender for the golden boot, Osimhen's intimidating presence and winning mentality is what has got us to this stage people! 🤷🏾‍♂

Even with only one goal😂🤔

It's still Osimhen's AFCON so we ought to be happy.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nomyth:
Camerounians are saying on social media that the times we've beaten them in AFCON we have failed to make it to the finals.

Do they not also know that each time we beat Ivory coast we go on to win the cup?

femicyrus:

Availability can be on the bench.
We want him in the starting eleven.

Ihenacho has been available since his return from injury. Likewise the guy that replaced ndidi

I think those are just the coach's decision.

Those guys apparently don't fit into his current tactical plants. (Or at least he's not much confident in them)

Iwobi over Alhassan for creativity

Simon over Nacho for pace and defensive support.

comodo:
I have been meaning to say this all the while. It's worrisome that we don't have a dead ball player in SE.
1) We are not threats to opposition during corner kicks. We have gone 4 matches in this Afcon. Zero goals from corner. Zero goals from indirect & direct free kicks. We have giants in our team but we cannot convert even 1 corner kick. Not even goal aaaiiih!!. It's worrisome. Our deliveries are always very poor.

I am just clueless as to how a player of Iwobi's caliber with his postion will have no idea about set piece taking.

elyte89:


Na dt “stingy” defense Dey win tournament…eagles are playing in a highly organized compatible game,only a team full of individual brilliance can defeat dis team…it will be very difficult for any side in dis tournament to defeat eagles except if we decide to do d unusual;wc happens once in a while..dt Cameroon game was a confirmation,our opponents shld just drag us to d penalties and hope Dey win via penalties.

And they won't succeed. Because they'll concede at least a goal. We've never failed to find the back of the net in all four games.

Our front three have proven to be a handful for all the defenses.

robosky02:
How Nwabali was injured by Cameroon

But Got pass them

I'm proud of this defense... And Aina is one the live wires of that wonderful setup. Look the way he kept his eyes locked on the ball his goalkeeper was holding in the air... Just in case.

Anticipation.

He never took chances. An Uzoho would have dropped that ball in this kind of situation.

mostob:
He should not be healed yet abeg... He should continue with his nonsense trolling. We don't need negative vibe at this stage

Shamelessly and scornfully he has been mocking and denying the gallant individuals representing his fatherland.

But now he's trying to earn from where he never laboured...

Despicable fellow.

robosky02:
How Nwabali was injured by Cameroon

But Got pass them

These attacks were done in quick succession. No one can tell me they weren't deliberate

Jidic:
Till den. Talk is cheap abeg

He was not boasting.

theophilusj31:
yes pedigree is on our side.

Imagine a euros were the quarter finalists are Italy,Greece, england, Czech republic, Norway's, Austria,Sweden,and Portugal...all other teams will be wishing for Italy to get kicked out because they have better experience wining the trophy,better pedigree

Quality too

maidaboi:
How can a bad defense be stingy?

Im dey smoke Igbo🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

zuchyblink:

Central Africa

North Africa😂

Joebie:
DRC na west Africa?

Been think say na general.

theophilusj31:
we can safely say that the entire continent want NIgeria out of the tournament, Ghanaians and Cameroonians obviously want NIgeria out,while the others see NIgeria as the biggest hurdle to them winning the trophy

Certainly...

slimthugchimee2:


People in this group have a way of jinxing themselves

Why would someone make such an outright conclusion with so much boldness on the uncertainty of a future event.. Something that nobody has power over.

Joebie:
Praying my prediction don’t come true because we are coached by Jpes. As it stands, the trio of Mali, CIV, and Guinea fits in.

Why u no mention DRC?

DrKlever:
Why are the Ivorians supporting Morocco. That's quite weird.

Morocco is the known obstacle on our path nah🤣🤣🤣
