quite a bold claim just because they want to employ someone with no coaching experience or certificate.

thats what they believe they can do according to the article, go back and read it…and yes they are free to live in that delusion, especially after coming close to reaching a world cup final in an arab soil Qatar….as it is now they are the next host, they are free to have that huge dream of winning world cup…same way all of us here would have felt if we had qualified for 2022 WC and reached the semifinal

do4luv14:
Dey play, cos they want to employ Ineasta ahbi what's that his name again,
Cos they are making plans to sign him, they want to win 2030 worldcuo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Weytin person no go see for here

i no understand oo, make i dey play” “nothing wey you go see for here”

did you read the article and see that na Minfelix talk am?

Morocco already making plans to win the 2030 world cup…if they are serious they will get to the final of that particular fifa world cup as the host

zuchyblink:
1994 set should not insult today's Super Eagles. African football is more competitive now than before due to influx of foreign based players.

1994 set really have this strong grace of love from 9ja old fans still going for them….They won Afcon, qualified for 9ja first ever world cup, topped their group having world champions Argentina and reaching the round 16, Nigeria was banned, this action did not give us room to analyze their giant status in africa as they missed 1996 and 1998 afcon(although general thoughts and believe had it that they would have won a back to back afcon if they weren’t banned).They played the atlanta 96 and won the gold medal facing Argentina and Brazil enroute the final. They came back in 98 world cup, top their group that has Spain the European champions and qualified to the round 16…We hosted the 2000 afcon and came second…so to me their playing days was greeted with nation wide love and back to back tournament celebrations…there was not a time to soccer-shame them…so it will be so hard to see their loop-holes.

Now this present super eagles just need to shut these guys up
1. Atleast win one Afcon

2.Atleast qualify to the world cup(which i feel has also eluded them, cos if this DRC case fails,it will mean that 80% of this current super eagles squad will never play at the world cup, cos by then many of them will be in their 30,31,32,33,34yrs and would have been replaced by new boys)
only Iwobi,Awaziem,Uzoho,Ndidi,Iheanacho(though not in the team, but might still make a return)that has experienced world cup fever

3. I wish Nigeria can qualify for the Olympic in 2028, then maybe players like Osimhen,Lookman,Bassey,Frederick,Iwobi can have a look-in, in squad selection of overage players

Omo true true after Oliseh and a large chunk of super eagles retired in 2002/2003….that golden generation spark just left Nigeria senior team football small

yinkeys:
The protest won them the trophy
That protest put an end to the poor referee decisions
The referee realized it was serious when Senegal walked off the pitch

I don’t think Nigerian players would’ve had the nerve
Sénégal took the trophy because they’ve got guts,

they weren’t going to leave the stadium without the trophy

Senegal players wouldn’t have left the pitch if their coach had not gingered them….Now same way Super eagles players would have also obeyed Chelle if he waved at them in anger for them to come out of the pitch

Spainever:
I started watching AFCON in 1988. Since we defeated them in 1992 and 2000 ,I cannot recalled when Nigeria defeated Senegal senior national team.

2006 Afcon we beat them twice(group stage and 3rd place match)

Bossoflife25:
We would have easily won the most without Hayatou (1988, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2004)
Then (1984, 1990, 2023)- all finals! (Then 2021 & 2026)- the best team.
Omo Nigeria try oo, we could have easily been out of sight for any African team! What a shame!

Senegal picked up their soccer mojo in the early 2000 and since then they are now trying to catch up with our record
2 Afcon title
3 World cup Appearances(4th appearance this year’s edition)
1 Quarterfinals Appearance and 1 Round 16 appearance…
Honestly we did not use our opportunities when they presented themselves….Our golden generation did not even smell quarterfinal….we really need to stamp further our authority in African soccer heavyweights.
-we need to b qualifying for worldcups
-we need to be advancing to more stiffer stages at the world cup
-we need to win afcon abeg

im tired of all this yeye Ghana,Cameroon,Senegal boasting somethings we are yet to have…our Super eagles of old no try ajeh….we suppose give all this african countries better gap…see Ghana wey qualify to their first ever world cup yesterday, don dey close us on 6world cup appearances…they are currently on 5

Now watch that beast of a penalty Akor scored yesterday against Elche🔥🔥🔥….omo that penalty ma “hanging moss” penalty

mrwilliams9:
Calling it Mane and luck is a discredit to their achievements. Mane alone did not win them their first AFCON or 2nd one. It was a team effort.

Let us just agree to disagree.

I am saying Nigeria could be doing more like the Senegalese FA so that our success is more sustained and not just a flash in the pan.

Naija won AFCON 2013 but failed to qualify for 15 and 17.

This is what I’m alluding to with a competent FA that knows how to manage resources (players being one of them).

Senegal made the 19 final, won again in 21 and again in 25.

Omo Senegal try oo, they would have easily met us on 3 afcon if they had won the 2019 afcon

forgiveness:
That Mbuemo tackle was pure penalty. I don't understand way VAR didn't take a look at it.

Pure foul.

Like why are the Ref spoiling the game, them say its not ref but its caf…so why is caf spoiling the game?…is there no VAR?

But why the unnecessary refereeing at afcon?

-Why will a Tanzanian striker be brought down heavily by a Moroccan in the box that way without a card/penalty and everyone should be fine with it?

-Why will an Egyptian handle a ball in the box 18 and no penalty was awarded to SA ?

-Imagine the reckless tackle on Mbeumo in the box 18 and they say its nothing close to penalty

-How can Bassey be dragged on the jersey and still got a yellow card to miss the next match

-How can a Senegalese goal move b canceled because of one yeye 50-50 challenge

-Why the unnecessary towel brouhaha

-Why will a Ghanaian b officiating 9ja match and vice versa, why will a North African rival b officiating a match his country’s arch rival is playing?

And these people want Afcon to run in peace?…they are joking, if they dont curb all this nonsense bias, afcon go dey destroy dey go small small

joxxy01:
Thank you... You get what played out there. Situations like that PK miss of yesterday would have been adjudged as match fixing hence the need to put up those theatrics about crying to make it look real.

And a question most people are not even asking is that.. why will Senegal who have abandoned the game all of sudden just decide to come back to continue without the penalty decision been reversed.

one of these may b the reason the Senegalese came out to play
1. Encouragement from Mane after El-Hadji Diof and Claude Le-Roy must have step in to appeal with Mane to go call his player..words from Mane to his players more like: “guys common lets just go and play the game, if them win us no problem, so far we have made out protest loud and clear

2. Or words like: “Guys come out, if we remain here, and the ref signals match abandonment and thereby blowing final whistle, we be in serios trouble and our federation would be heavily punished
(something more like banning Senegal the way Togolese team was banned from caf football after pulling out of Afcon 2010 due to that Angola cabinda terrorist attack on Togo bus claiming lives of a player and coach at Afcon 2010 Angola)

3. OOOOOOOr words like:😂 “guys come out, we have fixed this game, Officials,Morocco coach,Diaz,Mendy and Coaches have agreed to make a light penalty kick for our keeper to catch so the game can fairly continue….
somehow see Mendy going to tell Diaz to play a middle soft panenka🤣

SymphonyRad:
Omo we need to wake up fast and win one more AFCON, likes of Senegal are fast catching up and it will be a shame if they meet us at 3 AFCON titles and even surpass us...AFCONs 27/28 is a must, we have to win one of those editions otherwise we will become a meme narrative of a team that makes the most semi-finals or finals and never win it.

seriously oo…see as CIV just use space of 9yrs win 2afcon to catch us 3….now Senegal has use space of 5years to close up on us…

2024 and this 2026, we were suppose to equal Cameroon on 5

BankyGee:
You like conspiracy theories ehn 😂 God abeg.

Bro na just observation sha…i calm down to observe their body language as to how normal dye mins penalty save/miss of normal team reaction…
Just imagine Morocco was awarded a penalty against Nigeria in 98th minute, walai all of us fans go lose hope including all super eagles players, and then suddenly Nwabali produce a nice save to deny the Moroccans….omo bro, i trust Bassey,Osimhen, Osayi and the rest how dem go take react with mad celebration aura and energy,screaming “yeaaaaaaaaa””” running to Nwabali to tap his head and back😅😅…anyways sha i no no why Senegalese no even send wether their keeper catch the ball or not😂

Afcon team of the tournament

in as much as i dont wanna believe that penalty was missed on purpose let’s look at how the senegalese defense reacted
… Normally this type of penalty miss suppose cause wild celebration amongst the Senegalese players, more like seeing Mane and others going to hug mendy and giving this vibe of “YESSSSSS” God p^nish them, e no go b€ta for dem!” kinda celebration …that was the last kick miss of regulation time oo…

anyways sha…i still no go believe say na deliberate miss

Ppogbae:
I don't. Shame on him, CAF, the Morrocan FA and the Morrocan royal family. They have ruined the integrity of African football.

African football get integrity before 🤣🤣…. shey make we go dig out the sh!t wey Issa Hayatou sh!t for him own days

watch how Senegalese fans brought out their werey🤣🤣…guy we too peaceful for Nigeria oo, that towel incidence of Nwabali and those morocco stewards suppose cause that game to stop

i hope Senegal walks away from the pitch

Senegal should have been EXTRAAAAAAAA careful at that moment naaaaa….this game was easily going to the extra time na

Sarsaparilla524:
Chukwueze in Hot Waters for Mocking His Teammates for Being Committed Despite Unpaid Allowances

A video has emerged of an interaction between Super Eagles player, Chukwueze and his teammates ahead of the match against Morocco at the ongoing Nations Cup.

In the viral clip, Chukwueze was seen mocking his teammates, Nwabali and Bassey, for risking their bodies to play despite unpaid allowances and bonuses.

In the clip, Nwabali said, “I never see anything,” and Chukwueze replied: “Una get mind sha o, you haven’t seen your money and you were defending with your life and delaying the time, you even almost inj¥red your knee.”

Many Nigerians are now criticizing him over his statement and linking it to his missed penalty kick during the match against Morocco.

They are claiming the video exposes a lack of respect for teammates’ commitment.

i no say dem go twist this moment…this joke came up inside the team bus after Algerian match when Bassey shoved the defender and linesman together

BankyGee:
Me I want Morocco to cheat them too and win o, no be my head the cheating suppose end 😭

Some no-football-knowledged fans go come use the Senegal win start dey talk down on Super Eagles, forgetting how the cheating disrupted our game plan.

The only thing that'll make me support Senegal winning, na if they win on penalties.

omo at this point i prefer Senegal…ehhn make them use Senegal talk down super eaglesno wahala..las las Senegal dey above us for ranking level, and we no get any beef against them…i prefer to see Senegal lift afcon over this fecking Ojorocco

Lookman always crack me up with his gestures during post match interview….come oohh😂😂🤣👇🏽

Goke7:
Noooo make we go employ the Morocco coach o since he tactically conquered our coach 😂

Awon werey!

earlier in group stage and Round 16, na Tom Samnfiet of Mali dem dey clamour for say make NFF hire…most people are drunk analysts🤣

With WCQ experience and Afcon experience Eric Chelle has…the way dos man will be wyping any baby team in our group home and away eehnn, just give us group stage like
Nigeria
Zambia
Gambia
Malawi
the kind home and away beating all this werey will collect ehnn…super eagles player should continue their ruthlessness oooo, no more slacking against minnows again oo…..beat them to pulp abeg

Ihenzy:
The keeper role is also to beat the player technique too. So anything is possible.

Baba penalty na game of luck, if you are lucky to follow the ball’s directions, you will 95% likely save it, especially the grass ball penalties

Cocony:
1984 2nd place
1988 2nd place
1990 2nd place
1992 3rd place
1994 WINNER

Yeaaa you get even before our first afcon😀

1980 WINNER

Meliforme:
The Moroccan coach.
The Egyptian coach.

With the quality in our hands and with a sound coach, we should be the best in Africa.

which quality did the Egyptian coach showed ahead of him….shey game we would have wrapped up 2-0 before penalties?….what did Egypt play abeg….first half playing against our second 11 without 3key men (Iwobi,Osimhen,Lookman) and their star man Salah/Marmoush dey for pitch

do4luv14:
Smoked indeed,
Make Una dey take am easy biko

After 120 mins, and PK in the semis, cope with playing with a know, he was smoked,

If e easy go try am

thats the more reason why he was smoked, he was used and worn out in that final…Adingra turn am inside out at that afcon final

BankyGee:
Penalties na penalties. "near catch" na save?

Salah and Marmoush played good "far catch" PKs, how far na? Make Egyptians dey drag them say them play rubbish PKs? Who go miss go miss.

Expected goal for a PK is 0.87... Open net o with just one person standing to stop you. Anyhow you play am, there's that 0.13 possiblity of miss, ALWAYS.

Baba that thing Salah play na catchable…u see that type lookman and that last egypt guy scored…those are classy penalty…hanging the ball in a top corner of the net…i never see keeper wey catch that one

Oizee:
lol, Sir which one be voom voom?
