Our round 16 opponent is likely to be from Group F
Tunisia i.e if they loose to gambia and Mali win Mauritania
2. Gambia i.e if the loose to Tunisia and Mali wins Mauritania

Or
From group E it's likely to be
1. CIV i.e if they loose to Algeria and E/guinea wins Sierra Leone or vice versa

I have been highly impressed with Eguavoen team Selections, timely substitution, team performance and style. So far, we have been the best team at this tournament thus far (my opinion) it’s almost like he is listening to super eagles fans because he has been rectifying our complains on Rohr

I swear brother, God go bless you , for this....ur head don dey correct wella...I know say you go soon take light soon

Nwakali has accuracy in set piece taking all his corner kicks have been on point

mostob:
Judging from the comments here, Sadiq has been disappointing....

Chai

Person wey no Sabi score a 1 on 1 goal facing keeper

I'm so relaxed watching Uzoho in goal...my feelings though

BascoVanVeli:
The Andre Ayew red card was disgusting. Almost as bad as the Mali situation IMO. Even the commentator said the ball was clearly there to be won.


Anyways u guys might enjoy watching this Ghanaian guy destroy the black stars

I don laff die for here the part he said make them Davido sign Jordan Ayew, make Wizkid sign partey.....Kai so so hilarious

Super eagles has to double up their game now ooo, Minnows(Gambia,Comoros) are giving some lightweight teams(Gabon,Malawi,) big big moral booster that any body can be beaten

Where is that guy that shouts "Averaaaaaaaaaaaaage" sango don carry am go ni?

Icon4s:
Weather is always one of the several factors why they dominate each time the AFCON is hosted in North Africa. You cannot rule that out. When a tournament is played elsewhere you see them struggling.

Why was Egypt able to defy the weather and conquer Africa in 1998(Burkina Faso) 2008(Ghana) and Angola(2010)....bro north African team strength lies in Egypt, the other ones are jus ekuke trying to mingle with consistent African Heavy weight...it's not necessarily the weather

sophtcopy:
That's what I thought too ...that means we've topped the group but may likely meet Algeria or Tunisia and if we are lucky, Malawi in the next round

The job has just begun

I jus checked the standings now, as it stands B/E/F is fully represented by the following teams respectively
Malawi/S-leone/Tunisia, with Tunisia leading the chart on top 3placed team....if Tunisia wins their last match they will move to second position leaving Malawi/S-leone as teams we may likely meet

BascoVanVeli:
They are back to being the same Algeria we played in Uyo. Very very Wasteful.

Yes ooo

Mujtahida:
Winner's curse must down Algeria

That their group cannot bring out 3rd again.....it's almost certain, they are not even in top 5ranked best 3rd placed teams

This is the real Algerian we beat 3-1 in WCQ, the one that one AFCON is an upgraded scam....35games unbeaten ending tonight

That their mumu Arab cup wey Dem play, I swear aside the African contingent in that tournament, all those mumu Jordan,Syria,Qatar Saudi Arabia, non them go see one single win against all these our mad mad African teams I dey watch for AFCON

Na wa ooo, Algeria with all una 7-0, 6-1 5-0 during the WCQ against Djibouti, Niger etc una Neva register any single goal...what do we call the Algerian coach now Ekuke? Or Rohr senior brother, abi wetin...cos I don't understand them o

sophtcopy:
Ok ...thanks

You welcome bro, although I wasn't right

Samueltemi337:
They are not tactical anything


they played against a wasteful Algeria

But why are everybody wasteful against them ..is jazz really working for them,like someone highlited here

TFLASHOGEE:
Benin republic did same last afcon but suprise package dey get expiring date when jungle mature Dem go find thier level go house

Abeg remind me who Dem Benin even play self

Coming from behind to draw gernort Rohr and his boys 4-4
Holding defending champions Algeria 0-0
And now holding Civ 2-2....meeehnn this is a huge achievement for them.
If I'm a Sierra Leonian I swear I go brag tire on social media

yemyke001:
I don't think so. CIV ought to have finished off the game since. They were just wasting clear cut chances.

Bro that was how drogba waisted chances upon chances even missing a pk and eventually loosing to zambia

E be like say Sierra Leone want to come and do a Zambia 2012 on us ooo, those guys are playing knock out stage football.
If Alg and CIV couldn't beat them, meeehnn I don't see who can beat them oo
maybe Nigeria, Cameroon, Morocco.... furthermore any team that will beat them should get ready for 120mins football and possibly penalty shootout...those guys look like a Semifinal material

andrewbaba44:
I think say na only me notice am

Make him no go over fat o or com go carry body like lukaku

safarigirl:
Osimhen looking dangerous.

Make he just come back with a bang

Osihmen looking chubby since he start wearing this Batman face mask

sophtcopy:
Quick question pls,
Has Nigeria topped the group to qualified for the quater final with 6 points in hand? Even if Nigeria lose to E. Guinea(not possible tho) and Egypt beat Sudan with a wide goal margin

Simply put, is the head to head rule still applicable in AFCON?

Your first question is a no, we not confirmed as table toppers now because if super eagles loose by a goal margin we will be on +2, while Egypt winning by 3 goal margin they will top us and be on +3

andrewbaba44:
If Morocco and Gabon play draw Na 3rd for Ghana

Yes oo and that makes it a sure Fixture of Cam vs Gha

Stormtrooper11:
From what I saw against Sudan, Sierra Leone can beat Nigeria on penalties if we don't compose our attack, dictate play in the middle, reduce unnecessary long balls and establish a proper defense-Goalkeeper coordination/Communication

Bro if Eguavoen takes a 4-0 lead against Sierra Leone, forget it the match is a good as over, Sierra Leone can never come back to equalize, Rohr and his tactics really played us down that day against s/leone

andrewbaba44:
Are you sure Ghana can come second and not 3rd ,what about Gabon ?

Ghana will sweat it out to beat comoros, and Gabon will give Morocco a fight to either draw the game or loose by 1-0 and likely leave them at 2nd position

95% certain of what to expect in round 16 fixtures
1. Winner of group A vs 3rd place C/D/E
i.e Cameroon vs Gha (likely to happen)

It's unlikely if group D(guinea Bissau) and E(Sierra Leone) will produce a 3rd place team.

2. Winner of E vs Runner up D
That's a sure banker fixture
CIV vs Egypt

3. Runner up B vs Runner F
Sen vs Tun (likely to happen)

4. Winner group D vs 3rd place team B/E/F
Nigeria vs Malawi (almost likely to happen)
Malawi is playing senegal in last group game, they jus need a draw to cement a 3rd place finish

Samueltemi337:
Abeg make we meet Malawi

Yeah it's looking likely to be Malawi, I dont see Sierra Leone maintaining that top 4 Third placed team....a win for Ghana against comoros will further push them out of the top third placed teams and plus CIV will use the West African gidigbo style to win them today

komekn:
I am skeptical and unable to explain how an anonymous mouse in the Segunda was getting to play before Iwobi and Onyeka who has been a consistent performer for Brentford in the EPL . Has not had one minute.

There is simply no rational to these actions. I know that there is all kinds of politics that goes on in the NFF. But this is becoming too obviously implausible and defying logic.

When you come to the closing stages of a game you need a box to box Midfielder to put in a shift. This is something that Onyeka has done.

It should have been apparent to the coaching crew that Sadiq has nothing to offer. Then what about Olayinka and Onyekuru ❓

I check substitute yesterday in livescore, olayinka was not there...what happened to him

Nigeria is playing against the 3rd placed team in any of Group B/E/F in the round of 16
i.e Either Malawi/Sierra Leone/Mauritania

Joezinho:
Ndidi couldn't hide his frustration. His fans are saying he looked calm on the ball , maintained possession , blah blah..

Make we jam country like Cameroon. Nwakali will be so badly exposed. Everybody will get to see he's a wack player.. Imagine frank the Tank on the bench and you are bringing Nwakali into the game..

Dude does not have the energy to play against top level opposition. We will see it soon. Let Eguaveon continue to give him exposure at the expense of our team play.

They have start....jam country like Cameroon...I hear
