Joebie:
Tomorrow any team can win. But when it comes to this question you need to be objective. Look at it both ways.

Modified
If Nigeria were in their shoes. Having lost the first game by a slim margin, in front of our fans and have had a fairytale run so far with revenge now in our minds. Will we really be under pressure?

There will be pressure bro.
CIV wouldn't want to lose the second time so they would do everything to win.

Joebie:
It will be down to who really wants it. At this stage who really has a psychological edge?

1. The pressure is on CIV as they're the host.

2. We have beaten them in the group stage so we might have a very slight psychological edge.

3. We have the better and maybe a complete team.

Just saying

Jodera:
Since you know why then it has already cured your concern na.

I don't think there's anything they can do about it. Afterall nobody forced arsenal and Liverpool to drop points unnecessarily

They should give them space make Dem play that game in hand before we move.

Late call-up: Ethiopia’s Bamlak Tessema Weyesa will now officiate the third-place game between South Africa and DR Congo tonight after Morocco’s Redouane Jiyed protested to officiate Sunday’s final match instead.

Jiyed‘s protest didn't go down well with CAF’s Referees Committee.

Arab people and arrogance eh... that's why I don't like them

Jodera:
Abeg we need to win our match tomorrow oo.

We need to stay tight at that top as long as possible. Man city don enter time of that year wey dem go do their wicked run of form

And they usually have that game or games in hand. The FA needs to do something about it. It gives them a little psychological edge. Why must they be the only team having a game in hand? I know why though but there should be something they can do about it.

Jodera:
Lol. @ Arteta disciples. So dem go turn pep grand disciples be that

How many of pep disciples dey do well presently now? E be like say na only Arteta be the stand out. Then Alonso if we can call him one.

The rest don dey drop form currently, tho ten Hag don dey resurrect sha

Only Arteta and Alonso dey do well presently. Xavi and kompany were ontop of the game until recently.

Scenes where we're winning 3-0 with about 5 minutes to go then Musa comes in for Osimhen.

Baba God, abeg run it for us.

Jodera:
Lol, everyone know say Jorginho na coach na.

I no go surprise if him turn out as one of the coaches wey go dey worry in future

Exactly same way I felt when Arteta did his own too

Yea, he sometimes coach the U12 s or U14s. He and Elneny don start the coaching stuff. Jorginho will make a good coach sha... Very soon, we might have Arteta's disciples just like we have Pep's disciples.

lordofstrings:
Iwobi's problem have always been man marking, though it's not his primary objective but it's an added advantage just the way Moses Simon does it

But Iwobi at Everton was very good at defending. Maybe the coach told him to leave defending and focus on creating chances.
Who knows

Maybe it has to do with his past experience. You remember that red card against Tunisia? Man have been too careful this tourney.

jihday:
this remind me of the day arsenal and Liverpool played 4-4, after Arshavin scored the 4th I jumped and hugged one random guy

Football is crazy mehn. Just last year.. when arsenal came back from 2-0 and defeated Bournemouth 3-2. When Nelson scored that last minute goal, the celebration was wild. I don hug this person finish before I realized say the body too soft. You Gerrit?

Happy to have achieved the UEFA B Licence!

A special thank you to Matthew Joseph, Luke Hobbs, David Bridges and Sophie Curthoys who have supported me on this beautiful journey!

I'm excited to continue learning and making a positive impact on the field! A significant step. - Jorginho #arsenalfanaticsnews

They literally owned the sport as a whole

Remove usa and they’ll be no basketball

In terms of women basketball the rest of the world are 30 years behind

In terms of male basketball usa is ahead of the world with like 10 years

True. But I was not expecting that gap to be so wide.

Jodera:
If really we agreed to get Toney on loan, why didn't we get him. I mean, you yourself told me we still have allowable 100m to spend In this ffp matter, so with or without Partey, we would still have gotten Toney (even if it's on loan).

Abi no be so?

Brentford raised the price. They reneged from the previous agreement made in the summer. I guess they saw our desperation.

mostob:
Omo... USA dey wire D'Tigress.
31 points lead

We later lost by 54 points.

Jodera:
I still doubted this Toney deal for January sha.

And I don't know but even if Partey was available, I doubt Arteta would have had him sold this January esp with the nations cup holding plus Arteta really hoping to win the league.

In summary, I just believe it's rumor mills all these things sha

It is not. The deal for Toney didn't start this January. Both Raya and Toney's deal were worked on in the summer. Unfortunately, we could only settle for loan due to FFP. So the plan was to let Partey go this January, make Raya's deal permanent and get Toney on loan. Unfortunately, Partey got injured at the last moment. Toney himself has been dropping some hints during his ban.

Omo... USA dey wire D'Tigress. 31 points lead

komekn:
I remember him at youth level Dude by 15 was already balling at 17 he was in first team. He then refused to renew his contract and Chelsea can in and offered him £100k a week , he was never going to say no.

And how is his performance in Chelsea currently?

Hope some if not all the naija fans travelling to CIV for the final have a spare CIV jersey. E go reach one stage when they wouldn't allow us enter the stadium if we are getting too much. Just wear CIV jersey and off am when you enter.

lordofstrings:
😂😂😂
The guy dey make me enjoy here
Na vibe the guy be, no dulling moment😁😁

😁😁😁
He never wants to hear 'Nwakali' if not eh..

M7even:
There is only one particular moniker here that spells "concern" this way you did. [b][/b]

I said it. He is an old member using a new moniker.

lordofstrings:
Chai!
I talk am
No be you write this thing

Why all of you dey enter Emeka anyhow na? First na that Camry guy and now you.

Odunayaw:
VAR wasn't incorrect. Again, the responsibility is on the fan. In fact it becomes absurd to argue when such a fan has an underlying health condition.

I just tire.... It is a matter of how far a fan can go with the match. Not like VAR was wrong sef. Man be mentioning our environment as if no be the same football we have been watching all these years.
What if the fans that died have underlying health issue.

Goke7:
you can't understand because our environment is differently run from the way things work elsewhere.

Which environment you dey talk about sef? The WC final was even more tense. Was it played in 'our environment'? It is a personal choice to watch the match or not. Nobody forced anybody.

Goke7:
The issue is did the VAR decision trigger anything for the individual? If a car hit somebody will you say what if the person has a prior health issue?

Like I said earlier we see things differently in our clime. I’ve watched some foreign media and they can’t fathom that dramatic VAR decision. It’s the rule but the human impact can’t be ruled out in other environments .

The car example is a different scenario. Those deceased (RIP) were not the only ones watching the match. VAR and the ref were just doing their job. Moreso, they were not forced to watch the match.

Goke7:
It’s in Africa we think like this, in the western world with these deaths happening an investigation will be conducted and once it’s established that the deaths are connected to the VAR decision, the rule will be adjusted. Especially when families of those who died begin to go to court to sue FIFA or whoever invented VAR. By the time they pay so much for damages nobody will need to them to change the damn rule.

How? Not like the ref was wrong. Even without VAR, something of such can happen. I'm not trying to justifying anything but it is a matter of if your mind can't carry am, don't bother watching. What if one of the deceased already has an health issue prior to the match?

Emerse Faé: “It was unexpected, it was complicated. I remember that when I was a young player I won the World Cup U17, we lost against Nigeria in the group match and we beat them in the final. Maybe it's a sign of destiny..."

When you see it...

daveP:
a dribbling granit xhaka. That's the closest i can say. Not restricted xhaka o. The free version of Xhaka. So that's for the left side. Super decisive around box 18 too

Alright...I'll go check YouTube.

daveP:
Yeah. His dad was present at Forest game besides Edu. That's a big big impression.

Ok... how good is he?

I don't know who invited our Daddy-in-suit to the dressing room. Man was out of place just looking around.

Mujtahida:
Tall with now legs, that Kanu

typicalgamer:
Last World Cup edition was the best in the last 30 years

Absolutely. And the final was remarkably outstanding. It was not ordinary.

Odunayaw:
The only thing that saved me from tension in that WC final was network.

But last night I was not spared. Living in a bandit state sef never gave me that much shake emotionally.

That world cup final, I switched off my phone immediately Mbappe scored the second goal. I switched it back on when I heard shouts of Messi. The phone booted finish only to find out Mbappe has equalized. I didn't switch it back on until after the match. My chest just dey do gboom! gboom!
my madam was even hearing the beats where she sat.
