It's fake news bro.. Iwobi said no such thing..

oh..OK then

dem boiz....

Iwobi threatened to leave if arsenal sign zaha. thoughts?

So Algeria won this Afcon with the same goal record they used to win it in 1990 scored 13 goals and conceded 2.
I dare say we can now predict future Afcon winners simply by going through history.

elyte89:
Are u blaming d Senegalese keeper for DT deflected goal?

yea..he gave the ball up too soon. Had he concentrate,he would have save it .His height is even a plus

just when we are complaining about Akpeyi ..boom!! Senegal keeper happens.
I think the reason Algeria get the upper hand against us was because we were too gentle, our attackers especially ighalo and musa were crap and of course THE JERSEY.. Lolz
BTW I expect Senegal to equalize with pne the free kicks ..what did hell were they tall for.? Sane,Kouyate,Starr,Niang and you couldn't score from set piece

TheSuperNerd:
Uzoho was third choice. A certain Abdullahi or so was second choice... Alampasu was first choice.

Mind you, from the CAF championships and qualifiers, A certain Adeyinka Adewale was first choice but MRI knocked him out paving the way for Alampasu.

OK.. I just wonder where they are. 2013 sets really do us bad thing. With those talents then,we shouldn't have any problem in SE but...
the 2015 set try small given they are not as talented as their seniors. Yahaya,zaharadeen bello,eze,nwakali, dem dem.

ChrisKels:
The Head of Department of the faculty of carpentry, University of Eagles, Nigeria, high chief carpenter Mikel Agu finally leaves Porto permanently for lowly Vitoria D' Guimares

bad move..I think Ajayi should be able to get a spot now

TheSuperNerd:
Yes Mostob. He surely is although by a few inches. Alampasu is our tallest goalie at the moment.

wow..that is impressive.
But sir, who was the the third goalkeeper of their set. I mean 2013 u-17 set

forgiveness:
Alampasu is taller than Uzoho. Confirm.

Tall tall keepers..one of them must surely comes good. At least,we won't have to worry about opponents scoring from set piece

just thinking. ...
imagine we all here decides to do #hangout, some of us here go chop beating tire that day. That is when some will realize that the guy they were insulting on the thread is old enough to be their father. lolz
Bottom line, let's try to argue respectly. Respect other people's opinion.

somehow:
So Alampasu is taller than Uzoho? that's weird

am telling you...very very very weird

TheSuperNerd:
Super Eagles GK situation

The future of our Goalkeeping rests on the likes of Francis Uzoho, Dele Sunday Alampasu, and Maduka Okoye if we take our eyes away from the local front.

Jonathan Osegoagbon Zaccala will grow into a solid option by the next U-20 WC.

Uzoho recently got loaned to Cypriot first division side, Omonia Nikosia who finished 5th last season. Hopefully he gets enough playing time and continues to improve. He is 20 and stands at 1.96m. Lad still boasts a WC record as one of two youngest GKs with a WC clean sheet. He can only get better.

Alampasu Sunday saw a lot of action for Feirense's U-23 side in the Portuguese U-23 league and hopefully can make the step up to play top flight football in the 2019/20 season. He is 22 now and stands at 1.99m. Remember he was rated Best U-17 GK in the world in 2013 with a golden gloves award. Alampasu is still as talented.


Okoye Mad' plays in Germany's Fourth Tier in the Regionalliga West for Fourtuna Dusseldorf II where he is undisputed No.1. Hopefully he can grow and make the step up also to a higher league as he is only 19 now. Will turn 20 by next month.


Zaccala is still just 17 and playing academy football for Triestina U-19. He is one for the future due to his obvious unreal talents between the sticks. Hopefully the next U-20 exposes him more and he would have made more career progress in terms of his development by then.

Alampasu ,taller than Uzoho? WTF

lexyman:
You may not like this , but ones listened to one of TAribo West interrview where he said ... whenever they have important matches one of the things they do to iriate strikers or attackers is chase them with a smelly mouth .... you never can tell if that same guy didn’t brush . ����. Believe me if u re a striker and meet a defender with a smelly mouth u will not want to pass is route again ....just avoid him like plague ���� .

If u have not brush today ... run to the bathroom and do that now

Lmao..for real? lwkmd

darkelf:
Oga, I know we have serious GK issues and I am as worried as a passionate fan can be. But you don't replace refuse with sewage in your house if you want a clean environment. Alampasu is not the answer bro.

you have a point but nothing bad in giving him a chance. we are not blessed with good keepers right now . moreso. .he might be able to resurrect his club career if he can make good of his invite

darkelf:
I said my own na.

Alampasu doesn't merit any thing. We shouldn't because of situation call cow Uncle

but you guys will prefer osigwe or maduka ..issokay

darkelf:
Uyo of 2015 or 2016

That dude has barely played for his club

He has regressed. Please, let's stop holding on to past glory

at least not bad for a third choice. who knows,he might became number one.

OMANBALA1:
I started disliking Iwobi after he made a smelly gesture to a fellow African player....Very ffoollish boy. If it was white that did it all hell will let loose. But thats by the way. I am more interested in what he brings to the table which is a big gigantic NOTHING. To make things worse whenever he loses the ball he raises his hands like Ighalo and mouth like Kelechi. Its very infuriating.

if you hate him on off-football issue, that doesn't mean you shouldn't appreciate him small. whenever he loses the ball, he runs to win it back not that he will raise his hand . cut the guy some slack abeg

BascoVanVeli:
The only keeper I have in mind is Dele Alampasu and that is because when I saw him in Uyo he was so hard to beat and then you remember he is 6'4.

yea. I also want him to be given chance. 6'4? he must be taller than uzoho

The AFCON 2021 qualifier group stage!!

chai we are not even through yet with this one. Nice group sha. two noisy neighbours in the same group!

TheSuperNerd:
You are actually right Mostob. Nigeria remains Africa's most consistent side in Afcon History.

3 Gold (Titles) + 4 Silver medal finishes + 8 bronze medal finishes

The consistency is top class. Undisputed. But we need a fourth title. The next final we get to, I'm sure we will win it. Afcon 2021 is a target... It is in Cameroun.

agreed sir

darkelf:
Those shouting for Maduka should know that he plays for a lower league (not even in the division II).

lolz no mind them. The fact that we are hungry no mean sey we should chop bad food

OMANBALA1:
I was one of the people that had high hopes on Iwobi but the truth is the boy is over hyped. Its gradually becoming obvious Iwobi cant even keep a ball on his feet...so much for a "playmaker"....poor passes, zero aerial abilities, zero ball control and disgraceful physical strength for a boy born in Naija

lolz calm down bro. Am sure you will praise him to high heaven if he scores a match winner next match. See,am an arsenal fan ,I have watched iwobi countless time and i know a bit about what brought out the best in him. You can't expect iwobi to play well without any ball distributor behind him. At arsenal, there is xhaka,Ozil e.t.c. but who do we have in SE? cut the guy some slack.

OMANBALA1:
Everything you wrote was great until I read the name Iwobi....Iwobi has proven he has ABSOLUTELY nothing to offer with his one-two and very weak and embarrassing hold of the ball and now you want him to wear a 10 ?? Even Chukwueze cant wear the 10 yet....maybe Samuel Kalu and Etebor for now.

las las Iwobi go collect the #10

Odunayaw:
not taking that away from him. I am just trying to understand the plurality

lolz

forgiveness:
Despite his nonchalant attitude, he won you the AFCON and qualified you to the WC.

Did Rohr use the same formation he used during the qualifiers at the WC?

won us AFCON and qualified us for WC? did he do it singlehandedly?
As for the formation, for the Croatia match, yes he did. Vicmo even played his favourite position but BABA no show up.

Odunayaw:
Uzoho made one save and someone here was talking of amazing saves

At least he was not shaky. His height and positioning was good compared to Akpeyi.

krattoss:
Aforbear my brother..

Where art thou

Abeg no call that nan here jare . Am tired of that guy and his 'avveeerrraaaggee' comment. As in,his can a grown man use his hard earned money to buy data,charge his phone only to come online and be typing nonsense.. smh...
Lolz

Below is the number of times the following teams have finished in the medals table of the African Cup of Nations

Medal table finish=8

The super eagles of Nigeria Is the best side in afcon history judging by the medals table finish.


Saw this somewhere..

how true?

forgiveness:
Remind us the formation we played. How come you only remembered WC? What about the AFCON? What about the WC qualifiers?

Victor Moses with one goal and an assist didn't leave up to expectations!

1 goal 1 assist? even Musa with 2 decisive goals didn't escape bashing here.

andrew444:
Maybe Na only victor moses go World Cup

Our defenders that was scared of those crappy Argentina players

our players underperformed at the WC I agreed. Vicmo is good I agreed. In that Croatia match,you would expect a player of his calibre to show up and carry the team but he was just killing our attack and falling carelessly looking for cheap FKs. Some here believed we would have won this AFCON had vicmo played. That is debatable because we ain't sure of his dedication. If he decided to come back,I will welcome him provided he sought out his attitude. But if not,IMO i will stick to our current wingers. They are young and will only get better.BTW, they are way more totally committed.

forgiveness:
Victor Moses is better than those two in the gwg. Victor Moses singlehandedly won us the AFCON.

When he was benched by late Keshi at the beginning of the tournament, we played rubbish but as soon as he was given normal chance to thrive, he became the game changer.

Don't ask who Vicmo epp next time.

I didn't say he was not good. For someone who put up a masterclass performance during the qualifiers, you will expect him to continue at the tournament proper. But dude was playing as if we forced him to play for us. Vicmo is good no doubt, but I hate his nonchalant attitude. Everybody is busy calling for him here as if he won't put up his arrogant attitude on display.
