even Osimhen sef, go and watch all his penalties, they are mostly “near catch” penalties 😀😀

FiveFootNinja:
On a more playful note, we need to shelve the white jersey for now. Na the green jersey dey give us good luck.

But last Afcon we use white Jersey beat CIV for group stage, dem catch us for Final with our green jersey, Adingra smoked Aina like tilapia fish😂😂😂🤣

God bless you for stating the facts... As far as I'm concerned, if bono had dived in the opposite direction, chukwueze's pk would have been considered a very good one. In fact, Alex and Simon were even more non chalant with theirs

Yes naaa bro…it was just the pain for losing that spot kick and losing the semifinal after world cup heart break, that made people blew Chukwueze’s agenda out of proportion….Chukwueze wan calm down place that keeper just as Simon and Iwobi did, but he was so so so so unlucky Bono read his body movement….if Chukwueze had played those roof hanging penalty even with that his body gesture, dem no born Bono well to catch am…our Penalties are just too cheap and catchable…
It either you learn the roof hanging penalty or the Ekong/Taiye Taiwo/Nsofor centre level ferocious shot penalty…..
That thing Kenneth Omeruo played last afcon na comedic rubbish…God save am say Ronwen Williams jah the opposite side go buy crayfish

Use your striking options yo play penalty, u carry defenders and skillful wingers dey play penalty….even against DRC, i was expecting
Lookman
Akor
Iwobi
Osimhen (Though injured)
Ndidi
to take penalties…..
one more thing i observed, our penalties are catchable if keepers dive towards the ball…our boys should learn to play those classy European/South American style penalties…all this grass ball will always put us in trouble…..
we are just blaming Chukwueze, calm down and watch Iwobi,Simon penalties, they should just thank God the keeper did not their direction.

Now see the kinda penalty that Egypt guy played that beat Nwabali, despite following the ball…you can never catch those types

Only Lookman played the best Penalty this night

Nwabali os best goalkeeper after Enyeama

Morocco beat us in 2022 Wafcon semifinal and we lost the 3rd place match to Zambia….will the Morocco factor play in again today?

Last Afcon SA won DRC on penalties…who wins this one

Looking like the record of winning 3rd place match will be broken today…God abeg na

Goke7:
That’s why we no win e no score

but e no score against Uganda and we win na😜😅

andrewbaba44:
Tell him

Osimhen is our biggest striker no doubt, but lets us know that some games are actually beyond him…..if Osimehn like make dey bang in goals match by match, e get some games wey go humble am sef ooo😅😅😂
DRC
Morocco
CIV

Goke7:
Hope we can all see that we can’t score in big games without osihmen

but brotherly he played against Morocco the biggest game na😂😂

Chelle bring in your strong 11 jare…win this 3rd place and keep our record intact abeg….History has it that almost all our strong starting 11 in past afcon are always use to execute afcon 3rd place match…especially your strong frontline….
Ayegbeni scored against Mali in 2002 3rd place
Okocha and Osaze scored against Mali in 2004 3rd place match
Garba Lawal scored against Senegal in 2006 3rd place
Nsofor scored against Algeria in the 2010 3rd place
Ighalo score against Tunisia in 2019

abeg abeg carry Osimhen,Lookman and Iwobi enter for second half abeg

mrwilliams9:
One bad game does not invalidate a player’s qualities.

Onyedika is not SE midfield material….ok then, who is?

This is the same thing people said about Iwobi last AFCON….

Iwobi is
Onyeka is
Bashiru is(wont even be losing balls anyhow the way this Onyedika is losing balls and too much backward passes)
Ndidi is and so on and so forth🤣

one bad game against Morocco, this one against Egypt is now looking like 2bad games

Amedino99:
The pharaohs are dominating. Not something i expect to see from them as they are always defensive minded. Dem no rate us at all and our performance show say dem no wrong

them no born dem well to press the real super eagles in a semifinal match, na this Egypt i really prayed to meet after Algeria…..That Morocco was way too much for us

solonnachi:
CAF President Patrice Motsepe confirmed that the 2027 AFCON edition in Kenya 🇰🇪, Uganda 🇺🇬 and Tanzania 🇹🇿 will take place in August 2027.

See the way dey just messed up the iconic Jan-Feb afcon schedule….ahh omo back in those days football media/journalists will designe paper fixtures for people to buy, anticipate,follow matches and also writing the scorelines in the column after any matchday….how time flies..

U will now see pictures pose of all the national teams at the edges of the paper

lbrichman2:
I agree, he is not

the guy really fall my hand this afcon jare…i hope he will pick up soon….his backward pass too much abeg and always loosing ball to the opponent

Anyways sha, let me retrieve my words back, let me not condemn Onyedika, this was how Bassey too was jonzing in super eagles at some point…even Iwobi sef, there was time people wan use swear finish Iwobi, cos people were expecting to see a direct JayJay replica in him when he started new

AndSunGorilla:
and yet he has 2 goals and a MOTM award.

baba Akinsamiro sef go display MOTM performance against that Uganda wey use 3goal keepers in a match🤣…

When person don dey get hope to lift afcon, mean fixtures will just decide to come and rubbish us…with our invincibility, Egypt was the best opponent to face…not Ojorocco….even Peseiro defensive super eagles was so unlucky to face a re-invigorating host CIV, it should have been DRC in that final…Peseiro would have used his defensive pattern to lift that afcon…
Thank God B/faso ousted Ghana in the semifinal of afcon 2013, else Ghana for use past head to head ach-rivalry to edge us that year

omo forget, Onyedika is not super eagles midfield material jare, losing balls always to opponents like secondary school player

Kog45:
Abi no be here Dem dey write say Lookman dey sabotage the team,even said Lookman deficiency is more than his good work to the team,funny from a reputable contributor here,how many people challenged that reckless opinion...I stood my ground cuz I knew it was just cuz of Osimhen/Lookman spat.....on Chuckwueze I will never blame him, penalty you scored or failed to score... Chelle to be blamed...yes Semi and Bassey lost against Congo but i will force one of them to play especially Bassey cuz nobody will blame Bassey for anything in this tournament.

you see am

Shed more light

🏃🏽‍♂️ 🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️

Afobear:
dreamer in pain

see as this 🐀 just dey enter one hole to another hole🤣🤣….you get pain relief?

NFF APPLYYY PRESSSSSURRREEEEEEE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥….and more PETROL, i dont mind going to world cup straight sef without playing the play off…cos the way im seeing it Jamaica may also be ineligible to play the playoffs as far as Nigeria is concerned

Goke7:
😂 a great place to be na here I Dey balance my mental health o

walai, most times like this…if i don chop belleful, i go just come here come face many people and also laugh small….many people petty petty for this place🤣🤣🤣

i could remember when i tried to raise dust on Osimhen issue during the DRC game, i was saying that he left pitch and went inside the dressing room to fight someone thats why he didn’t come out of the dressing, so long i did not have any evidence to back up that agenda😅🤣, i had to shut my mouth on what i do not have full knowledge of, even though i may wanna still do small arguments 🤣.
But na for Nairaland here some people feel they have strong case against a player that he is a saboteur because he played penalty and missed in a lackadaisical way…
“becos he is chewing gum yen yen yen””
“becos he showed Bono his body movement”
“becos he has been on the bench for 119mins and coach refused to use him”

SHEY CHUKWUEZE TELL YOU ALL THIS THINGS!!!!!
Same Chukwueze that was seen shedding tears after that miss?…..

Some people just stubborn unnecessarily in this place…
las las they will tag it as “its my opinion, it must not be palatable to you”……oh oh oh but my stance on the issue of Osimhen entering dressing room and not coming out due to maybe an in-fight, is a false agenda abi🤣
Anyways since i dont have any evidence to back that point up, its mere fallacy and false agenda though….same way im taking all this nonsense Chukwueze Sabotage bla bla bla as a defamatory agenda…
Whosoever is raising such dust, drop it and say it no more!! you dont have any VUGGING POINT🔥🔥same way as i also do not have over Osimhen

NAIRALAND 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
oporrrr🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

even we are going to use our number 3 starting eleven against Egypt, someone should tell those super eagles boys that Nigeria has never lost a 3rd place match before oo…infact bronze na our birthright for afcon even if we are facing spain ooo😅😀
Our bronze medal pass the highest record of afcon winner
1976 3rd(we beat Egypt)
1978 3rd (we beat Tunisia)
1992 3rd (we beat Cameroon)
2002 3rd (we beat host Mali)
2004 3rd (we beat Mali)
2006 3rd (we beat Senegal)
2010 3rd (we beat Algeria)
2019 3rd (we beat Tunisia)
na for 3rd place we fit beat world best teams oo…somebody should tell those boys oo…make dem no spoil that record oo

BankyGee:
I swear, if NFF need to use voodoo for FIFA president make them use abeg, we've seen enough robbery, cheating and disrespect from these savages even when we've never treated them like that before.

im telling you bro…we are too calm abeg….these are one of the things that make other African nation to fear the north…All these yeye antics….the non-north african countries are just tok gentle to them….dont even talk of club football, na there the mad hostility they…

una don see say in Africa nobody send anybody…just imagine how dey treated Nwabali, imagine how the moroccan team is CAFicializing their way to the afcon trophy…..and some people will now say
“yen yen yen, allow DRC go to the world cup, dont try to go through backdoor”…

If you like play like brazil and tear DRC 3-0, if dey notice any mago mago in our Football Administratives, they will so drag us eehnn…in football we have to stand up to be radical now….if you travel to Libya and they make us sleep at the airport for 1hr, when they come here give them 3hours sleep on the runway.

If SA takes us to potato pitch,clean up National stadium surulere to standard and bring them to the hostile Lagos state, make we first intimidate them like werey before them enter field(unfortunately we no get stadiums for lagos)
If Morocco point laser at your players, when dey come here off stadium light on them when dey are pressing to score🤣🤣.

Let NFF apply hottttt 🔥🔥pressure on tha DRC case oo, in football nothing like “pity party” or “tempering justice with mercy”….cos if it’s against us, these guys will fight us to finish

Bascovanveli3:
In this situation, when u imply someone missed a penalty on purpose. U are putting the person and their family at risk. That is nothing to play about.

This is what i keep warning that fellow against….
sabotage sabotage sabotage bla bla bla!!!…He missed his penalty simple…
IF BONO HAD GONE THE WRONG WAY, that would have been a sweet placing, if he dances 2’seconds makossa, pop his chewing gum and send Bono the wrong way with lackadaisical approach,they will call him the best and most talented penalty taker in super eagles squad of all time

mostob:
I'm currently fasting. I'll be on my knees praying. Senegal must win this trophy. By fire by force. I want to see the tears of those moroccoans.

same here toooo🙌🏻🙌🏻….Since the turn of the year 2000 the Senegalese team has been consistent at the top of African football, they deserve a second Afcon trophy jare…make we laugh Morocco small…even this year’s Wafcon, if Nigeria doesn’t win let another country aside SA and Morocco win it
