I trust the Onyenezide set, they for don see 10 chances and score 4 at least. See wetin Imuran dey do inside box? See Okuchukwu. No strikers instincts atalllllllll. See our gk. You dey enjoy her yoruba pass her gk abilities. That's good angle for me. Cos her yoruba is the best quality she has in that goal in 2 games. She's that terrible and wack.

oga gk has no issue with the goal conceded, it was a free header/breakout header…those defenders gave the scorer a free breakout header there…nothing gk go do…if our front was clinical our girls should have scored like 3-4goals here…keeper is trying to shout her defense to order…i like her character between the sticks

Nigeria fit see 100 chances here and them no go score 1….omo see many sweet goal scoring chances na

coach comot that OKUCHUKWU NAAAAAAAAAA

omo our goal keeper dey give me joy with that yoruba lamguage she dey use arrange her wall during freekick 😂😂

can the coach just remove that tozo in front wasting all our scoring chances?

that Okuchukwu in fromt is just wasting goals

thak Okuchukwu in fromt is just wasting goals

Any Napoli player on the pitch for this first half of the season must bring on that Osimhen vibe oo

Like Rohr I expect influx of Nigeria-German players into the super eagles. That's a good thing though

I no see
Chindo Garba Lawal
Obagoal/Weapon of mass destruction Obafemi Martins
Joseph Calamity Yobo🤣

Zambia 4-2 Australia

Ajibade and Oshoala needs to be sharp in front of 1v1 counter attack

Chiamaka Nnadozie is the reason we are still in this olympic female football competition so far

Gernot Rohr watching Falcons v Brazil at the olympics…
i guess he still want to study how to beat eagles in september by watching falcons🤣🤣😅

You know you can actually play this spanish team man for man, but you chose to play with inferiority mindset …score 1-1 still go dey fall back😡😡

Mujtahida:
I don dey shake oo. Make Spain no win this Euro ooo. Tiki taka doesn't want to perish ni? TheGoodJoe come outside

on paper and on all level of analysis spain 🇪🇸 will win,but in reality England will drag them with a perceived long extra time football.
Get ready to watch the replay of UCL 2012 semifinal/Final match between Barca/Bayern V Chelsea

mekabuachi:
I am talking of world cup qualifications... you are talking of AFCON.. lol
everyone complained of this same lack of zeal during the qualification match (you probably did too)... no one is discrediting their past glory.. don't try to make it seem like we are crucifying them... that's the situation on ground and it's glaring to even a blind man

Also read things without sentiments and emotions. Shalom.

Pre-afcon we were still busy using yeye goal keeper, post afcon we changed coach suddenly, their poor display is somehow excusable

i miss super eagles of Afcon 2024 against Cameroon,Angola, CIV, SA, omo the die hard football was massive, all this Rwanda,Lesotho,Benin must be really lucky we are on our worst form

SamueItem337:
Did you watch AFCON at all?


Did you see Osimhen assist to Lookman against Cameron


Did you know the mental strength it took Ekong to score both penalties against South Africa and all other penalties he scored in that tournament


Did you know how impressive Nwabali was against South Africa and even went on to save two penalties in the penalty shootout


Did you know how solid our defence was against cote d'Ivoire in the group stage match


Ekong, Aina , Sanusi and Osimhen who Played their hearts out even with injuries


You guys just look for any slightest opportunity to discredit our players
And it's not good
The same Spain and Germany you are praising today we all saw how they performed in the last world cup

Nigerians especially super eagles fans across social media, infact football fans generally have short memories.
once their team start playing badly its seen as though its their habit over the years, they will jus totally forget the glory days/moments and times the players gave their best

omo this is not too good for us sha as regarding WCQ, they will now be too used to us after playing ourselves tire🤦🏼
shebi dem for kuku put all us in same WCQ in this same AfconQ group lets be beating ourselves till 2026

Goke7:
Morocco used haram football to get to the semi finals of the World Cup, a feat that would be difficult for any African team to beat in the future now that’s a Morocco that has the antecedent of knocking the ball around, but they had to adapt when the occasion demands

Ghana Just needed a 1 on 1 with keeper to get to the semifinals of the world cup….omo Africa need to step up with that word “determination”….there is no way we are dominating these week in week out UCL,UEL,EPL,LA LIGA, SERIE A players….laiye laiye….we just need to look for a pattern
Long term plan, pele oo by 2070 we no go stil dominate and win WC

in our remaining 6 WC matches, since its not a back to back 6 games(we will jus play two in march) omo our guys should smuggle that winning at all cost, in 2006 we needed winning at all cost to close in on Angola and we did justice to that
Alg 2-5 Nig
Nig 5-1 Zim
thats the kinda spirit we need from these guys…Se use vex beat Cameroon 2-0 for Afcon why cant we use vex beat Rwanda and Zimbabwe in the games…

Goke7:
All we need to do is build on our successes not all those mumbo jumbo sexy or penetrating passes football that won’t bring anything but pain like we have now

Eggzaactlyy🔥🔥

Odunayaw:
They were building again

with that they have rebuilt, they must win another back to back to back trophy oo

HISTORY CAN NEVER REMEMBER WHO DOMINATES
BUT TROPHY GIVES PRIDE TO THE CONQUEROR

i cant even remember france dominated italy in 2006, except i go watch the video again…na who win i dey remember.

i see SA trying to play possession football, but when they meet us they will start to play counter attack.
Nig 0-2 SA in 2017, pure counter attack football them use finish us
Another thing with football is that if there is determination amongst players they will play to equal the strength of their oppressors, imagine spain leading us 1-0 at france 98 but determination brought us back to fight and win…we didn’t dominate them.
Argentina leading us 2-0 in 2017, but determination and die-hard fighting brought us backt to nail them 4-2
