Its just how sensitive/delicate these stages can be, and thats what is putting small caution in me…nobody believed keshi team tearing Mali apart 4-1 in semifinal, although we were confident of breezing past them since we took out CIV.
As far im concern No southern African team can stop us in an Afcon crucial knockout stage(Mozambique,Angola,SA,Namibia,Madagascar,Zambia,zimbabwe,Malawi) Taaah!.
I can fear North Africa/West Africa but u see all these COSAFA people..abeg forget them.
I understand that Afcon standards has been raised but then…forget jareee..
It will take a strong rival like (CIV,Sen,Cam,Gha,Alg,Egy) to stop a red hot 9ja side.

bisqit:
omeruo is an average defender. 2018, he escorted messi till he scored against uzoho. 2017 against Zambia, an ancient mbesuma bullied him to scored in a WCQ when he couldn't control a simple volley

now wey u don spot out matches he fumbled oya do well to mention the matches he did well.
Against CIV in 2013 he man-marked a red hot drogba preventing him from seeing a goal.
Shey its messi u are using to measure omeruo abi? how many of our defenders fit mark messi..
2010 enyeama was our savior(all the defenders just dey jonez)
2014 how many defenders hold messi

Ola Aina on yellow card; has to be careful if we are to progress…we will so need him if we get to semifinals.
also moses simon on yellow

Goke7:
That’s why I laugh when someone here say we have not played stronger opponents, we all thought Equitorial Guinea was soft until they walloped both Ivory Coast and Guinea Bissau. It has taken Guinea a team who beat us just before Afcon to send a stubborn Equitorial Guinea out.

Patriotically i forsee a Nigeria v Gui Final.
on the negative side it may annoyingly be
SA vs Mali(Tufiakwa!!!🤮)

Nomyth:
Camerounians are saying on social media that the times we've beaten them in AFCON we have failed to make it to the finals.

whenever we beat cameroon we are always reaching the semifinals and then meeting North African teams who eventually Knocks us to the 3rd place play off matches…thats why im psychologically happy morocco is out..trust me if we had met them in the semifinals that curse will still be there..so lets see if we can get past Angola wether the curse will resurface against CPV/SA in the semifinals

once again let’s be careful not to concede first goal by mistake oo…that thing thag happened against equatorial guinea should not surface again

Path to the final
Angola delete❌
Cape verde / Sa delete❌
Final Nigeria vs (CIV/Mali/Gui/DRC) delete❌
amen oo

Teams like CIV,Mali,SA,DRC,Gui will be praying for Nigeria to be kicked out since our high Ranked peers are out. If Angola wins(Godforbid 🤦🏽‍♀️) the remaining countries will fancy their chances of winning…Like this now they all see Nigeria as the biggest threat in this tournament.
CIV will not wanna meet 9ja
SA will not wanna meet 9ja
Mali will not wanna meet 9ja
Capeverde will not wanna meet 9ja(Although those ones will be priding that they are the portugal of africa, so bring on 9ja😃)
these 4teams has seen shege in the hand of Nigeria in the last 10years

with wetin i dey watch,both SA and Morocco na Eba jare

robosky02:
Quarter-finals

(Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium, Abidjan, 5pm)

2: DR Congo vs Guinea
(Alassane Ouattara Stadium, Abidjan, 8pm)
Saturday, February 3

3: Mali or Burkina Faso vs Ivory Coast (Stade de la Paix, Bouake, 5pm)

4: Cape Verde vs
Morocco or South Africa

(Charles Konan Banny Stadium, Yamoussoukro, 8pm)

DRC vs Gui is same day with ours…quarterfinal matches will still be 2matches per day

You all should save this, so you dont keep asking who will this one meet and who will that one meet…this is the path way to final for any of the 2lucky teams remaining

safarigirl:
Supersports is showing that they will meet Cape Verde in Match 4 of the Quarter Finals.

they are wrong then…the path to final for each team has always been posted even on caf page, afcon 2023 wikipedia has it that cape verde will meet morocco/ SA

safarigirl:
They actually meet Cape Verde

It's Cape Verde vs. Ivory Coast

CIV and Cape verde are not on same path…Cape verde meets the winner btwn SA/Mor…further meeting the winner of Nigeria/angola

na to start dey do bad belle for CIV remain now…oya Mali, Guinea, B/faso, Drc plss who will volunteer

Abeg subsequent afcon make una tell anyone that will coach to please draw first match and win the remaining two..or better still draw 2matches and win one…whats the essence of carrying 9points and meeting one wicked 3rd place team that will send you out🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️…most of these 3rd places teams are demons

this path to the final is so difficult
senegal
CIV
Mali
Guinea
Burkina Faso…crazy west african countries

chai sadly, looking like defending champions going home

that thing wey greece do portugal for 2004, na wetin we go do CIV if we meet again for final…osimhen will still pepper them

CIV bossing the possession but lack the ability to penetrate

All this Morocco/Cape verde/SA/Angola should chill and allow us to go play senegal…we are the only country that can match this there power, maybe a little beat of Mali and B/faso can try their best against them sha

if senegal beat this CIV wich is very possible, omo im a real super eagles fan, but if God help us and we jam for final..ladies and gentlemen i go sitdown with chilled drink oo…and commit the eagles into the hands of God.
senegal are too deadly abeg…any team that will eliminate them go pass through needles eye

Kog45:
Peseiro was poor before Afcon and Nigerians will not be watching seeing their team playing nonsense,so expect criticism from fans and good Peseiro listened by inviting Nwabali who gave us that stability from the back.

is it not better than the ones that will deceive us with good game and later come to afcon to play rubbish

charlesemeka85:
my brother wetin u go come talk about the ones here wey wan mk our midfielders turn to prime zizou,Scholes,lampard,gullet,pirlo and iniesta? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Na pride and past glory syndrome dey worry them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

asin eehn

charlesemeka85:
the man now know his first team as well as starting 11

All he needs now is just more quality to fortify the bench/reserves as well as to hv more competition for a starters shirt

some people are still saying even if he wins the afcon they should sack him….Nigerians are very proud and its so irritating…i sure die say no coach will come into super eagles and start playing turn Nigeria to overnight mancity or barca…this is africa we must lose, we must draw and lastly we will start getting our winning mojo back.
no coach has come to Nigeria and enjoyed a 100% record
siasia
westerhorf
jo bonfre
bora and so so and so all at a particular time in their managerial career with eagles fumbled and also coached well…Una no jus one lose games na em b the problem…people think Nigeria is the best footballing nation on earth that we should not reason defensive game as an option…just dey tiki taka and dey attack the win all games played…going unbeaten in 1000games
DEY PLAY

charlesemeka85:
Senegal go comot them. That team need serious rebuild and influx of younger players

The worst in that midfield is kessie, dude is so washed that I couldn’t believe my eyes during their first game with Guinea 🇬🇳

He looked heavy,slow and unfit unlike the kessie I use to knw at Atalanta and Milan few seasons ago

GuineaBissau

ChrisKels:
I don't know why I keep having this feeling that Ivory and Nigeria will have a rematch in this tournament.

i swear im seeing a rematch between either
CIv and EQG…

Blueelf:
Too early to judge. Sure he has improved but.....

Remember Cameroon is a poor team

Let us play teams like Angola/Senegal/Cape Verde first

Please, this is not me trolling, as i have said earlier, I am on leave and right now, I have headache

oga dey try avoid posting sh**t abeg…u started with they will be sent packing from group stage because of 1-1 draw, u enter CIV will beat us with so many irritating banters from u(calling super eagles supporters deluded, insulting that osimhen will doesn’t worth the APOTY)…u migrated to cameroon will send us away from the afcon, now u have advance your doom talks to further games (angola,cape verde,senegal) U NO DEY TIRE TO GIVE YOURSELF UNNECESSARY HEADACHE….cant you see the super eagles is playing tournament winning games…If we win those teams u mention you will shift focus again to WCQ and start capping another sh**t again…OGA U NO DEY TIRE!!!!

how come is a team playing defensively and beating an attacking tiki taka team by 2-0, we even scored one goal that would have made it 3-0 but they canceled it…ayam not understanding….this super eagles team are solid in the defense, cmpact in the middle and fast in the attack…its just once a while we give away the ball and the opponent taps and attack and the whole scenario will be asif we have been defending from beginning to the end

Joebie:
but why he no show us this defensive side all this while? you sef know say if not for the uproar, Nwabili no for dey this tourney.. and that won't give our super defenders confidence. all our opponents go dey resort to shots on Uzoho.. I will say things are all playing out for good so far. But I won't give all the credits to this man.. because the man stubbornly wanted to stick with Uzoho and didn't want to change his formation his formation until very recently. E don tey when we dey clamor for a back 3 formation. Even during Rohr's era we said it here.

Peseiro must be talking to somebody with sense.

bros if uzoho was doing fine and etching out fine fine performance there wont be an uproar and the coach also saw that we have goalkeeping issue and he decided to look for solutions…He came and met uzoho as a new coach, tried him in several matches before accessing wether he will be our number one going forward.
He is the coach of the team, he also sees what we are seeing…we are not the one seeing it for him…afterall none of us recommend nwabali for him…He discovered the guy and brought him into the fold which many of us were still doubting his ability

typicalgamer:
Peseiro is an inept coach

But one thing i give him props for is his defensive tactical awareness

Like this can be rated as the best eagles defense of all time.

If you see the fluidity in switching between zaidu and Bassey you’ll understand

The defense did a compact man marking without sacrificing width or depth

Best eagles defense ever

bros with all due respect abeg, use another lesser word than this harsh “INEPT” you used…oga we played our arch-Afcon rival and they didn’t score a goal against us for the first time..them no see 1short on target…at this point peseiro is a excellent coach

Bring on:
Cape verde
Morocco
South Africa
Mauritania
even SENEGAL….dia papaaaaa🔥🔥🔥
all those useless bad belle wey dey wait make we loose…una go wait till feb 11…rubbish

we are now walking on a tight rope😩😩😩…
