So nobody here saw the similarities between lookmans goal and okochas goal against oliver Kahn in the 90s. I'm highly disappointed. We have a lot of Gen Zs here

bros no go whine Okocha disgracing of Oliver Khan with Lookman’s goal oo….Okocha’s goal came with premium disgrace

Samueltemi337:
We are top no matter the outcome
H2h comes before goal difference

ohkk

Arizoner:
A team that almost threw a 3 goal lead and you are saying its coming home. Why are people so shallow watered like this

thats football for you, you might see us playing another top 5 african team(Morocco,Senegal,Egypt,Algeria) in the knockout stage..they may be leading us 2-0 and u will see us turning the table around beating them 3-2…thats how teams that are trophy candidates play…you dont expect them to play all their 6-7 matches with 3-0,4-0,2-0,2-1,4-1…this is not 2004 tournaments…teams has woken up

Arizoner:
Minfelix, bankygee, goke7, what do say about that body movement from lookman?

All i can say is Lookman is a tournament player…im still pained we will miss the world cup…Lookman might not be the “all dribbling and tricky winger in the shape of chukwueze
“ but you see that Lookman, he plays the kind of wing attack you will find in teams like Madrid,Barca,Bayern…very strict and direct wing attack/forward🔥🔥

Truidstarr:
We are guaranteed to finish top of the group irrespective of results on match day 3.

dont conclude yet oo, if Uganda wins and Tunisia wire Tanzania like 3-0 we will drop to second, but e cant happen sha

if we finally top the group we will face a place team from A,B or F
Zambia A 3rd team
Angola B 3rd team
Gabon F 3rd team

getting hotter

Goke7:
We are a top side sir. We can’t be leading 3-0 and almost throw it away, even DRC, Egypt, Senegal or even Burkina Faso can’t be this poor haba.

What if Lookman goal didn’t enter, game would have ended 2-2 after 2 nil up no I can’t accept this trash. And I assure you it will happen again. It has become a pattern.

Baba, Tunisia is also a top side….make we leave matter abeg…they are not power house but a correct top side…Tunisia has been flooding Ghana any time they meet at afcon

Subzero0477:
If they had beaten us today it won't have been seen as an upset

funny enough many people here after the Tanzania game and also seeing how Tunisia flogged uganda all gave up on Nigeria beating Tunisia…sir pls just try and go read peoples post match criticism and see how people wrote off super eagles against Tunisia…..because we don dominate them and led them 3-0 automatically they are now pushovers…

My review after Tanzania, i personally said “im disappointed at how we threw chances away but this super eagles create and dominate games, bring Tunisia on”

TheGoodJoe:
At least he should have given Chelle credit for the way he got the team playing. Yes, the team imploded but we can't take away the good work done. He will learn from it. Some times these things take time.

dont mind that bros, because Tunisia tried to fight back, Chelle is now this and that…atleast Chelle is not Rohr that flung 4-0 to 4-4 from an Ekuke african team

Goke7:
Na so 😂 even Zimbabwe we couldn’t beat them in uyo. Continue

oya after Zimbabwe bring another one na…shebi u have been watching the Zimbabwe in this afcon and seeing what they are capable of

Goke7:
Let’s keep up defending this crap like we did till we were edged out of the World Cup qualification. It’s easy to defeat this team just wait till the coach bring in his wingers and take midfielders out. Not a surprise anymore! Am even surprised he didn’t remove osihmen today cos he’s always full of surprises

if Chelle had started the WCQ qualification, we for don qualify tay tay before we go even dey dream say SA field ineligible player….no team in that our world cup qualifiers group will collect 3-0 from chelle and come to draw the match…las las SA can just fight like tunisia….na 1-0,1-0 all of them fit equalize

atleast he learnt from that area….chill you will keep getting surprised till he will reach final🤣🤣

Goke7:
Is Tanzania not another minnow? Why we no give them 3-0? We escaped luckily today but for how long we will continue to come up with all sorts of defence for this sloppy play, Issorite

Tanzania (28th in africa) get levels pass Botswana(42nd in africa) the gap is clear…from club football to national team…
Tanzania senior Botswana wella….however shaaa if we had led Tanzania 3-0 as we did against Tunisia,bro dem for don give up, they would have even opened up more space for super eagles to plaster them…don compare them to Tunisia….Tunisia, even when you leading them 5-0 will still keep coming out to fight you oo

Goke7:
Senegal went 3-0 up against Botswana did they crumble? Tunisia was there for the complete taking. I was listening to Brila fm and julius aghaowa was in the studio at 3-0 he said he was even expecting one more goal. All of them shock for studio with the way things went and julius said the game was never going that way.

Bros Botswana is an african minnow, Tunisia is an Afcon giant/winners….no dey compare them.
We have played 4-2 with Tunisia before at afcon…we were leading them like 2-0 and they tried doing a come back but we kept scoring them….we played 2-2 at world cup qualifiers 2009, we played a 1-1 at afcon 2004 semifinal they won us on penalties, we met again at afcon 2006 playing 1-1 in the quarterfinals but we on penalties…..they are not botwana that senegal played….Lets senegal lead DRC 3-0 lets see wether they will end the game 3-0😃😅

Goke7:
We are becoming too predictable all what any team needs to do is to be patient with us till the 70th minute and start hitting us from all angles cos they know by then Chelle would have sold the game to them by collapsing the midfield!

everyday lesson is being learnt….this one is a big lesson….we cant have a smooth ride to the final…Eguavoen try to deliver smooth ride in 2021, boom shocker came and sent us packing….its good we are seeing so many ups and down in the group stage

lbrichman2:
Yeah that's better
This conceded goals table is a negative stat
We need to become more stingy in our defence
Chelle has to fix that

yeah sure he has to fix that 👍

Meliforme:
I have read a lot of criticisms on Chelle regarding his game management and this is my perspective.

The Tunisians were mounting a lot of pressure on the flanks, and Chelle needed to foil the pressure.
Ndidi was even out of his position to defend the flanks.
That was the motive behind the substitutions Chelle made.

Again, in competitions there is what we call the game momentum. The momentum of the game shifted for obvious reasons and the Tunians siezed it to see what they can grab.

God bless you….Momentum shifted, Tunisians may not be our archrivals like Ghana and Cameroon….but omo they are part of our sworn rivals in afcon and qualifiers oo
remember the WCQ in 2009 in Abuja
Nig 1-0 Tun
Nig 1-1 Tun
Nig 2-1 Tun
Nig 2-2 Tun
i knew they were gonna fight back which will change the momentum of the game….i knew the game wont just end on a bed of roses

bro Afcon is humbling ooo….what happened to us can legit happen to these teams you mentioned oo….like with their games we have watched so far…if they meet their fellow African power house teams…they are also capable of playing 3-0 to 3-2 or even 3-3 ooo….Afcon is humbling o

lbrichman2:
Omo
I no like this kain company abeg..
See pipe countries we dey follow concede goals
Even against Uganda clean sheet no sure

but same nobody don score 5goals for this afcon…Nigeria is leading in that

Subzero0477:
Wait what do you mean someone rejected call up because he was not guaranteed starting place, do they do this in other countries or just Nigeria

asin eehnn see the way we are just fine wit that info🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️…..like very very yucky 🤮 info

daveP:
Hilarious fact

We currently have no replacements for these guys


Lookman
Osimhen
Iwobi
Bassey


And this alone is scary. And we wan go World Cup. The engine room of the SE right now.

Wait fes, we never even replace Iheanacho till now.😂😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️

Add Frederick,Aina and Onyeka….cos as we saw today Onyeka is an Engine room, and we can see how Aina replacement is playing kak

Kilishihunter:
It's true sha. This Tunisian side didn't concede a single goal in their world cup qualifiers, zero goals conceded in 10 matches so for us to score three goals is a big feat, our attack is one of, if not even the best in this afcon, if Chelle can sort out the defence and start making like for like subs we can go all the way

Im telling you, i hope we dont drop this momentum….omo we played them handsdown….i feel for them conceding those 2 unnecessary goals

lbrichman2:
I don think so
We don concede 3 like this

Uganda don concede 4goals
Angola don concede 3goals
Zimbabwe don concede 3goals
Botswana don concede 4goals

charlesemeka85:
and hv any team conceded more than us?

Yes Uganda don chop 4goals against , Angola(same wih us)

Neeeeeeeeexxxxxxttttttt!!!

There wouldn’t have been wailing if today’s game went this way
Nig 0-1 Tun
Nig 1-1 Tun
Nig 2-1 Tun
Nig 2-2 Tun
Nig 3-2 Tun
and then Final whistle
Trust me Nairalanders would have so praised the super eagles to highest heaven if the course of game had gone that way😃😂

Odunayaw:
Baba as at 70min Tunisia had 0 shots in the second half. If Chelle didn't fumble, they'd have not gotten beyond a consolation goal

but you know dey started having small hope after that setpiece goal…that was before Onyeka was subbed oo….i knew if they score a goal, they will bring out their own attacking instincts…its just great to see super eagles dominate and beat a top African team 3-0 till 70mins….although chelle really messed up removing Onyeka….
Onyeka and Ndid should be starting and ending matches.
Anyways todays game put 9ja in the light of being one of the favorites…..its not easy dominating a top 6 african team like that….i see us getting to the Semifinals for now shaa

Subzero0477:
We just beat a North African powerhouse, in North Africa let's put things into perspective before coming for Chelle

wait wait wait🤣🤣🤣 this Nairalanders here think Tunisia will not fight back?……una think say na Djibouti una dey play….oh wait wait wait first…u want to be leading teams like Algeria,Morocco,Egypt,CIV,Senegal 3-0 and think they wont find a way to come back into the game….wether them remove Onyeka or not, so you people wanna beat Tinisia 3-0 handicap🤣🤣….una dey jonz

NDIDIIIIII🥺🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🔥🔥🔥🔥

Plss everyone dont watch this game as a Nigerian….instead calm down and watch this game as a
1. Moroccan
2. Egyptian
3. Senegalese
4. Algerian
5. Cameroonian
6. Ivorian
7. Sapafrican
And tell me you are not scared of this Nigerian team’s total dominance from the blast of the whistle….im telling you this first display if maintained and improved more upon in the second half, omo others go start dey fear…this type of display is the type that will camp your opponent in their half till final whistle….plsss Eric Chelle and Super eagles should remain bossy in this game ooo

but wait ooo why Osimhen collect yellow card na🤣🤣🤣…that guy is jus case

Respect to Iwobi…that guy dey seeeee
