make i raise small dust again…when people came up with agenda that Osimhen was jealous of Lookman, i no how dis place take vibrate🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅🤣….now people don dey search round social media to look for peoples view that aligns with their agenda that Chukwueze sabotaged the team deliberately…

Simple he played a weak penalty and unfortunately the keeper went that direction and calmly caught it….i will still stand and say “If Bono had wrongly read his direction and went the wrong way, we go call am sweet placing”…

anyways all blame goes to Chukwueze for not adding power to his shot…
all this “he was smiling and chewing gum okocha did worst at france 98 vs Denmark(shey okocha purposely sabotaged the team?🤣)
Ayegbeni missed open net for 2010 world cup and start to chew gum dey smile…was it deliberate?🤣🤣

Joezinho:
Always gets injured right before PKs. Always!! Stay on the pitch for fvcking crying out loud!!!

Freaking weak and coward mentality. If you miss, you miss.. Fans might be upset but at least you had the courage to take the shot. Letting defenders or substitutes take penalties instead of you should never happen even if you’re injured or tired. Stand up and take it!!! Dude is never a point of difference to get us any trophy anyways.

i saw this and skipped the post, in as much as my inner inner mind may wanna agree, i just chose to remain mute🤣🤣, make dem no start ti insult me here again…
although i feel you are too harsh on the said person you are trying to criticize…left to me, i think he should also be amongst penalty takers…he needs to lead the team as a captain that he is…
but i wont agree with you calling him a coward, even though the situation may wanna make him look like such, but i refuse to borrow that language from you😅😅
He is not a coward, he is just suffering from penalty PTSD

Mujtahida:
It was not ill - luck. It was deliberate sabotage.

How would the goalkeeper not catch the ball? Even you, you go catch that ball. He positioned his body, telling the Gk where he wanted to play the ball, then as if that was not enough, he passed the ball to the Gk.

You are coming to play penalty at a semi final oo. This boy do us wetin no good.

baba nothing deliberate….i will blame chukwu for not hitting the shot well….baba if Bono go wrong way, he wont catch the ball simple…
“he deliberately sabotaged the team”?🤣🤣🤣 omo una dey blame ooo…..like unto say why na?…we are just here and sitting in our homes reading meaning to things anyhow…
Like Chukwueze sef dont wanna play at the final?
Like Chukwueze dont wanna lift afcon trophy?

why e b say when we lose like this, people will just come up with very mean agenda in this country🤣

bro this is just so so so so an unfair judgement om chukwueze….so Chukwu purposely came to make us lose to Morocco 🤣🤣🤣…..ahhh omo we human beings eehnn…we fit raise dust from no where sha

semid4lyfe:
I disagree.

Ater the Q/F performance against Algeria, I fancied our team's chances against every team except Morocco.

Morocco or Senegal , whoever may win it are not better than us.

You'd only appreciate how well we played when you see the way Morocco will defeat Senegal in the final

Did i say they are better than us?…..bro super eagles dey F up when dey meet their rivals when it matter most…
na only less fancy opponents we win cup over when it matters most…Senegal and Morocco is not better than us, but we no dey get luck against them at the hottest moment to get something from them😅😅

Mujtahida:
Go and watch the penalty Ajayi played against DRC. It was lame. Nobody blamed him. Omeruo was cool. Chukwueze was laughing or rather had this irritating smirk on his face. Their approach is not the same. Thats why the result is different.

las las i will blame it on ill-luck that the keeper read his direction….walai if that ball score…nobody go remember wether he dey chew gum or smile to take that penalty…if Bono had gone the wrong way, na sweet placing all of us for call am…

i will say it again…Omeruo played a very whack penalty that year against SA…if Keeper had caught the ball, forgetiiiii!!! no b nairaland and 9ja fans wey we know?….baba dem go cook Omeruo wetin no good🤣🤣

Blueelf:
Look at this screenshot.

The same question i asked thesupernerd

The same thing the Moroccan coach noticed and we were knocked out

Hope it's very obvious now. Chelle had jo answer to this

The Super Eagles were too obvious in their tactics

baba be celebrating our failures back to back and stop giving us(super eagles fans)advice to progress🤣🤣🤣…match day go be like 2days or 1 day to go….you start dey troll people wey you dey give advice to win games🤣🤣🤣….which kind human beings dey this nairaland sef….oga stay on one lane abeg🤣🤣
Aforbear can never come and post this particular thing you have posted.

im expecting you to come endless trolling posts like
“ moomoo fans of super eagles how una dey”
“una still dey support una ekuke team”


stop coming to tell us how to move forward 🤣🤣

bingbagbo:
Why is it that Victor Osimhem always fizzles out when Nigeria plays good teams but scores plenty goals against weak teams?

I am asking for referee Daniel Laryea

but he did not fizzle out against Tunisia and almighty Algeria na?🤣🤣….bro abeg no bring up this agenda….he has played many top notch fixtures and turned up and even score goals/make assists
Vs Cameroon last afcon
Vs Algeria
Vs Tunisia
vs Gabon
we can’t dominate every team…some teams pass us…thats simple

Mujtahida:
But
You guys don't get it. Nobody is blaming him for missing his penalty. Bruno missed too. Nobody blames him.

Chukwueze's blame stems from his indifferent, e-no-concern me attitude before and after taking the penalty. And I maintain that he deliberately missed the Pk.

Omeruo was calm and collected. Chukwueze was nonchalant. Not the same.

If Chukwueze had scored, believe me we would have won this match.

if he had scored evem with that non chalant attitude, we would have won this match🤣🤣….bro if SA keeper had caught that Omeruo penalty, we go cook Omeruo for life…have you gone back to watch that Omeruo own again…very childish penalty…he was so lucky Williams went the wrong way…that Omeruo penalty too whack and be like secondary school penalty

lbrichman2:
Even Osimhen
E get one ball he trap finish
Wipe shot!
Guy go pass ball
Omo
I shout

Morocco that had 15 shots, no be outside shot Dem dey play?
Plus all those dubious free kicks

aahh yes oo this very one made me shout…im like baba play am anyhow….no pass abeg…everywhere dom choke…just knack leg ontop the ball make e even go off target

semid4lyfe:
Same here.

Despite the biased officiating, mammoth home support, pitch familiarity, and absence of Ndidi, Morocco could only defeat us via penalties. That says a lot.

The 2027 AFCON in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania will be a more level playing ground and hopefully we can win it.

Eric Chelle has done well. He deserves a long term contract.

The surest way to win afcon is if the afcon knockout stage(quarterfinals/Semifinal) is crowded by less fancied opponets causing upsets on big boys in the previous stage …
maybe like SA removing Morocco to enter the quarterfinals and Benin removing senegal to reach Semifinals and Mali beating Egypt to meet Nigeria at the final….super eagles over the years till date is not looking like a team that can win a final against powerhouse..
Vs Senegal
Vs Morocco
Vs CIV
Vs Ghana
Vs Cameroon
Vs Algeria

make luck just help us align 2027 Afcon knockout stage in this way:👇🏽
Nigeria Vs a lesser opponent (R16) maybe B/faso
Nigeria Vs a Stronger rival (quarterfinals) maybe Egypt
Nigeria Vs a lesser underdog who just made an upset(Semifinal) maybe Capeverde
Nigeria Vs a lesser opponent (Final) South Africa or Zambia

Games like yesterday is where we needed the individual brilliance of Lookman…just cut in and wipe shot..forget teamwork abeg

mrwilliams9:
That is what I meant about crumbling. 4 key examples in the past 4 years.

2022 WCQ - Just needed to beat Ghana 2-1 at home. Managed a toothless 1-1 draw and lost on away goals.

2023 AFCON final - See out a 1-0 lead against CIV. We regressed and played our worst match that tourney.

2026 WCQ Playoff - We were outplayed for 120 mins but still didn’t have the composure to convert our kick.

2025 AFCON SF - Played our worst football of the tournament after looking like the team to beat up till the QFs. Again, no composure to convert our kicks.

There’s a mentality issue we have to address.

17 semi-finals, 8 final appearances, 3 titles. Not good enough, simple.

i agree we didn’t play well, but this your “worst football” dey sound like Morocco played us the way we played Algeria and Mozambique

lbrichman2:
Osimhen, Akor and Lookman should have played those Pks

And we need to learn to shoot from outside the 18
That's one area I'm not too happy with Osimhen for

one of these guys will score after that Morocco miss to give us a 2-1 advantage

Goke7:
Chuks is one of our most experienced players that’s the issue!

If Fisayo could convert what was chuks problem. These are the little moments that matter! It changes everything

Exactly….just hit middle shot like Ekong…like just target that middle with heavy shot

Mujtahida:
I will keep posting

https://x.com/i/status/2011691057655005225

After Onuachu scored, walai na Bassey or Simon for step up next..PTSD no gree those baba come front..
Penalty is any man’s game ooo….but these guys will likely 95% convert their pks for us to win this game…
Lookman
Osimhen
Bashiru
Akor
Onuachu

Morocco coach knew why he left one of Hakimi and Diaz….you cant just yank off senior men when you know pk is nearing…..

imagine the last afcon pk against SA
1. Terem Moffi scored/Mokoena missed (1-0)

2. Omeruo scored(infact almost same style with chuks pk)/Mayambela scored 2-1)

Aina missed(same type of Bassey miss against DRC)/ Magkopa missed (2-1)

3. Ekong scored/Mvala scored (3-2)

4. Iheanacho scored (4-2)

pls let’s not blame chuks that much…same way Omeruo scored his PK against SA was same way chukwu was gonna score his own if Bono had gone the wrong way..

zuchyblink:
The blame goes to Chelle,I was expecting him to remove Onyedika on time and replace him with Bashiru or Nnadi and introduce more adventurous players like Ejuke and Chukwueze since the game plan was not working

Bros oo, make i drop this for you…if you like bring in
Bashiru, Nnadi,and introduce Ejuke,Chuks, the game plan will not still work out nothing go happen at all at all ajeh, th ose guys you call are not big game changers..…Morocco have seen from our previous games that you dont give super eagles space to enjoy themselves else they will punish you…Morocco sat back yesterday whenever we try to build from the back…they also choked our wing plays…Chuks and Ejuke will just be reduce to school boys performers…a serious senior man game changer is what we needed that yesterday…player in shape of Okocha, that will take ball upon him self and try to dribble from the midfield to locate wingers and strikers

Kog45:
Oga you're too theoretical when it comes to analysis,you don't normally face reality and you're always trying to tell us what to do in a situation when we cannot not do anything.... yesterday game was too obvious that we just need to soak Morocco pressures which we did for 120 minutes,common man Morocco defeated Portugal and Spain to reached World Cup semi final,do you think it was lucky,forget stories,they're the best in Africa,they play good football

i will keep saying, some of the OG’s here on nairaland are losing their post-match analytic credibility….Cameroon suffered a 2-0 loss for not learning that “you dont play morocco pressure for pressure….you calm d game down and slowly build up pass from the back…to me oo, we played them the best football, i knew we were gonna lose in the pk shootout….our boys are not penalty material….but the way we played morocco yesterday,a top team! is just the best way to play them….this is exactly how they played Portugal and spain at the last world cup…and that was Exactly how Italy lifted the 2006 world cup…France tried to build with calm and collected passed but italy was always sitting back to wait for moments of ghen ghen pressure…such games lead to pk or a 1-0 win

sit back, allow your team to build the pass from their defense, then come out and “ghen-ghen press them” then quickly go back again and defend waiting for same cycle to keep reoccurring…these kinda game only lead to penalty shoot out or a 1-0 winner

no b wetin dem use jah spain b that for world cup? no b pk?

Goke7:
The Jamaica game no be big game jor forget matter 😂 our boys Dey fumble for bigger games jare like Congo like Morocco our players like you said earlier Dey get ptsd for penalties

Maybe we go carry them go MFM for special deliverance 😂

its true shaa, i agree no b big game…but but me i think say the coach get good head for penalty shootout naa🥲🥲😊

lbrichman2:
These people are funny
How do you crumble technically and somehow manage not to concede
We crumble technically yet Morocco no see goal score, not even a clear cut chance..
Funny lots looking for who or what to blame as usual

bro majority of 9ja fans no sabi calm down to analyse match…..This super eagles didnot crumble to
morocco at aaaaaalllll….people no wan still gree say 2025 Morocco is a beast of a soccer nation…plus dem come b host🤣🤣.
even our golden generation dey chop 5-1 against host in 1990 afcon…go and research how our super eagles of old fared against host…the only knockout stage we beat host na senegal 92 for pk shootout…when Senegal were still “underdogs” trying to gain their feet in africa…powerhouse hosts those years dey beat us like tiff
1976 host morocco flog us 2-1
1990 host flog us 5-1 for group stage still flog us 1-0 final

We just need to retain Eric Chelle, let him keep helping us sweep baby african teams…we just need to be qualifying for world cup and afcon tournaments abeg….

Goke7:
You’re very right, I think when we start meeting tougher nations back to back we Dey crumble!

Honestly once the game entered extra time I was no longer interested in the final cos if we had won we won’t have been able to win the final as our players will be fatigued against an in-form Senegal. I preferred we bow out in the semi final than having another heartbreak in the final. Once we couldn’t do the business in 90 mins I knew we were done. Check out back in 2013 We did the quarters, semi and finals in 90 mins.

Gbam thats it bro..

Goke7:
No be lie o Morocco semi final finish at the last World Cup was no fluke just that they don’t need bad officiating to win fairly but dem no care.

Our boys did give good account of themselves based on that I mean we played the number one ranked team in Africa and they couldn’t beat us in 120 mins that’s something great to cheer about sha

see ehnn this Eric Chelle will hardly loose to a team beneath him like Finidi,Jpes, Eguavoen and Roh did…And that is what we need in super eagles to qualify for tournaments…beat baby teams and qualify for tournaments and go struggle it out with superior teams

SymphonyRad:
Yup, not sure it's a coaching issue at this point..we just lack the players with the elite mentality like the Senegals etc when it matters the most at the most crucial stage.

It's psychologically gutting to lose out on a world cup final playoff on PKs after demolishing Benin republic and Gabon...

And then this after all that show against Algeria, these boys can't scam me anymore. Hats off to them for trying, but this is it...it's time to rebuild with younger players like we saw Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Senegal etc do at this tournament, Ademola, Osimhen etc aren't winning shit, they are a generation comparable to Belgiums own.

17 semifinals, 8 finals and ONLY 3 AFCONs is a very diabolical return, the type that makes you question if we are truly cursed?
This isn't a coaching issue anymore, even prime Pep Guardiola can't save this bunch.

Trust me you are not being scammed, we can’t dismantle two North African teams and you wont wana put faith in the guys…this is just a matter of team pass team….it shows why we are not number 1 on africa…maybe 3rd best is our real position…keeping faith in them is actually justified especially winning 5straight games with heavy scorelines…imagine starting the worldcup qualifiers with 5wins and a draw, its more like winning all the first 5matches and drawing the 6th, thats a whooping 16points…ajeh dis afcon no pain me at all…na world cup pain me…this team is a world cup team…qualified to play at the world cup quarterfinals

Goke7:
Jamaica na team? 😂

dem dey use penalty shootout kno who and who be strong/weak team?🤣🤣….no b Zambia use penalty collect Afcon for CIV head?

123jamessmith:
Waiting concern Bruno conern penalty. Chelle choice of penalty takers is killing us. After the full time. You next line of action as a coach you are start preparing for penalty. Attackers are usually the best penalty takers. I don't know if oshimen is injured. Oshimen left the pitch second half of extra time, when the game is almost finish, why not leave him for him to take one of the penalty.

im telling you broooo🔥…there are some players u will see going up to take the penalty and you know they have the chance to convert it.
After Morocco lost their first, a more prolific striker should have come in to boost our chance, Osimhen is still having PTSD on penalty matters, but its likely Osimhen converts his own after that Morocco loss…e jus b like bringing up Ekong after the opponent miss, baba no get time, he will enusre he scores his own.
Onuachu scored his own
Bring up another fearless…Bassey and Ajayi lost against DRC, but i will prefer to use them again…they will surely convert…but you see this PTSD of a thing is really a demon 😅😅, all are scared not to come and lose for a second time after that DRC experience…but 9ja penalty history is not like that..im sure all those who lost against DRC would have converted theirs yesterday…people like Simon,Bassey will be more aware….
Yobo scored in 2004 penalty shootout and lost in 2006 penalty shootout

out of the 3 afcons we have 2 were against lowly rated rivals(Zambia and Burkina Faso) the other one in 1980, we won as the host.

im beginning to see that super eagles cant measure up in final/semifinal when they meet a fellow african power house in a back to back, either they win 1 and jah in the next stage
Mali 2002 (senegal comot us for semifinal)
Tunisia 2004 (Tunisia comot us for semifinal after beating Cameroon in quarterfinals)
Egypt 2006 (CIV comot us for semifinal after beating Tunisia in quarterfinals)
Ghana 2008(Ghana jah us for quarterfinals)
Angola 2010 (Ghana jah us for semifinal)
SA 2013 (we met Mali and Burkina faso enroute winning the cup)
Egypt 2019(Algeria jah us for semifinal)
2021 (Tunisia jah us for round 16)
2023 (we played Angola,Cameroon,SA and CIV remove us)

omo seeing the way powerhouse nations lined up from quarterfinals to the final, i was just having some scary feelings….make super eagles beat powerhouse back to back to back ? aaah omo e go hard in this era oo

Afobear:
I hear na Chukwueze killed Mohbad

yes na him oo, when u go charge am to court

But shebi na same Chelle eagles beat Jamaica on penalties at Unity cup….why is his head no longer winning pk shootouts again

Goke7:
Anybody blaming our strikers should keep quiet as the Moroccan strikers sef no see ball score. This was an almost even game o. Make Una calm down.

walai those guys were just waiting for counter or waiting to steal the ball from any mistake…host wey dey fear to attack….Super eagles just fold today even them too

Blueelf:
.
Pain, is that you

You prefer afobear, yet you're engaging me with long epistle

Oya cry more. My bucket never full abeg

Insult whatever you want but at least you're doing it in tears. Makes me a happy man

😅😅😅😅

las las na this same moomoo line “pain is that you” “cry more”🤣🤣 very dry line that you guys thinks make people actually feel pain over social media banter….line as old as the creation of football…

my bucket never full
Cry more
Pain is that you
yen yen yen🤣🤣🤣🤣…..oga gerrarahia abeg you dry abeg!! you no b super eagles fan or even the Osimhen you are mentioning…atleast Aforbear hates both the Super eagles and the Osimhen…your own you just dey dance naked here…today you blow hot tomorrow you blow cold🤣🤣

Blueelf:
I hardly rate any player in the SE

Because except for Osimhen, am the rest are average

I hate ghana bro. Na useless country. The only thing they have going foe them is electricity

u hardly rate them🤣🤣….but the ones you rate ahead of super eagles, how magnificent are they…the Senegal you are glorifying also lost to host last afcon, the Egypt you want to start glorifying were playing yeye football today….tufiakwa!! make person just dey make he just get unnecessary natural hatred for a particular thing🤣🤣

yinkeys:
Mane didn't play against host nation
We know what happened when they faced ivory Coast 2 years ago
Wait until final

Like the guy troliing and analysis so whack!! eehnnn….wetin Mane do against CIV last year🤣🤣🤣….wether super eagles playerlike Germany or Spain, no concern that guy, his own is to be looking for downfall every match days…..this thread suppose dey lock out some people permanently from here
