Bright Osayi Samuel should take a bow. He was just outstanding. Absorbed pressure like a sponge. Showed strength and skill. Balanced offensive and defensive play.

He was tremendous. It was clear that the Algerians intended to play through his wing but he stood firm like a rock of Gibraltar. His forward runs were a delight to see. Above all he was calm and composed.

I've been one if not his fiercest critic but I give him his flowers and I eat humble pie.

Lawag3:
I can clearly remember you wailing the other time that Chelle should be sacked

That match against Tunisia. Goke7 don already sack Chelle. Me, it was our first match. I wasn't impressed.

yinkeys:
Osimheen selfless player
This is how you play like a team

This is why he was angry. As him dey talk, na so him dey do. Mr. Talk and do.

Goke7:
He looks tired I hope he can continue

Bro, lookman never gets tired oo.

Dannyxy:
Algeria has played nothing, we have just been unable to score…

Let all the forces that support hardwork come to play for us, we cannot loose, we will win… in Jesus Christ name.


2-0 win for us …

You called it.

This match. Who scores first wins.

Samueltemi337:
One day you go talk wetin Osayi do you

I've commended him. It was Bruno's poor cross that was the immediate cause of my statement but truth is that both of them don't know how to cross

These guys are no match for us.

Our full backs don't know how to cross

ChrisKels:
Osayi dey game today oo!!!

O boy the guy hot

No be goal jare but we will score this people

Nwabali's distribution putting our team under pressure

Danielnino00:
D'law, I won't lie.... Last night, I kept seeing Morocco in my dream...

Na wa oo. It's good then

joxxy01:
In my dream I saw lookman give a 360 assist to Osimehn who gave a bullet header into the top right corner of the Algeria goal post

Do you people actually dream before matches like this?

Odunayaw:
I have this ominous feeling. Some late game drama is to be expected.

I promised myself to not be emotionally invested but alas

No fear!

D'Law na Baba God we dey look o this one Animals, Inanimate objects and feelings they predict otherwise.

We looking for an omen

Blueelf:
The innit boys actually show more passion on the pitch. Bassey, lookman and iwobi (I hate to admit this) have shown up for us in key games

It's actually the home-guys that mess up

Passion is different from grit ooo. Passion na fire. Grit na iron.

ChrisKels:
Lol juju no dey work for football. You as an Igala man suppose know this nah bro.

Na joke ooo. I don't go near juju oo despite the reputation of my people

Bring 50k make I run am for you.

Taaaaa wetin be your CV?

E remain babalawo make I go meet.

Bia ChrisKels, don't you know any powerful Dibia that can run this thing for us?

Uzoho was three years away from the team. He's in the team at Afcon now. In fact he featured in one match. If we go on to win, will this not be a story of grace? Kai

Danielnino00:
One popular blogger made a post on her Facebook page on her preferred lins up and suggested Osimhen be dropped for Onuachu .

Omo, come and see wailing under the comment section
Same people that were abusing Osimhen a few days ago

Hahaha hahaha same thing on X with Pere Agbi. Them rush am

I can see that you want my client to be in America this year. Kudos

I'm still yet to recover on behalf of Cameroon from the way Morocco swarmed them like bees and stung them all over their body.

They man handled them. A whole Cameroon oo, known for their physical aggression and tenacity. The Moroccan team mauled and gored them.

We are coming sha.

Kog45:
Jay Jay and Mikel in the house

See shoe. Clean

Kog45:
I rate Josh Chibuzo Oluwayemi than Arthur Okonkwo,his physical presence in a goal post is massive just like Carl Ikeme but Okonkwo is ready for us

I miss Carl Ikeme

comodo:
Algeria will concede, Nigeria will concede, but SE will outscore to win. You can take this to the Bank. Just pray for Osimhen.

I'm confident we will win.

Blueelf:
Exactly

I'm looking at the "soft skills" and not just football or technical ability. This is where I'm wary

This is where some people say that the innit boys have watered down our team. Not in terms of footballing abilities but that I no go gree attitude which Nigerians have and which our teams have demonstrated on the pitch in many crunch matches.

Check out in 2013. Ivory coast had an array of stars. We bested them. Can these crop do the same?

Amedino99:
the free kick will be useless if they are trailing by 3 goals in the 80th minute.

That's where the 3-1 comes in 😂

Mujtahida:
I have a little confession to make. I am not given to superstitions at all. But when it comes to crucial tournament games, I tend to start believing in prophecies (I still reason things out sha oo), animal and human predictors.

And of course, it's the predictions that favors us that I accept. Confirmation bias abi

When you love something, this kind of thing can happen to you.

Hmmmm be like this prediction go work oo

Our team has talent but I don't know if they have character, resilience, spirit and determination.
