Na Nigeria Mozambique wan play this kind open game with? Okay o

Better pitch, rain rain. Mtcheeew

Rain rain everyday. Even in Lagos, this doesn't happen

I don't understand some things that happen in football. See this stupid goal Benin just conceded from a Salah strike
Ought not coaches to call their players to not go all out leaving their defense vulnerable to quick counters?

Blueelf:
Had to put that balogun market madiba in his place

Chaka from Igbaroke 😂😂

Blueelf:
As a SA, you come to a Nigerian football forum to argue

You didn't stop there, you accuse Nigerians of bragging on twitter.

IronGalaxy, yes, I am referring to you. You are currently doing the same thing you accused Nigerians of doing. You are constituting nuisance on this space

Your beloved SA isn't a footballing country, You're better off winning a big black butt Olympics or trendy tiktok dancing olympics.

GTFOH with your half-truths. How many footbll trophies does SA have? In all competitions, across all age-grades and gender?

Yet, you're arguing blindly and you dare rub shoulders with the Nigerian football pedigree

Maybe next time, we ought to send our women to play your beloved bafana bafana instead

Now, go and nurse your ouster by Cameroon in pieces!!!

You squeeze Cameroun pepper put for him eyes.

Dude, we literally gave you guys a two-year headstart on the World Cup qualifiers and we still came from 5th place and almost topped the group on the last day. Lack of preparation cost us the ticket. Look how things are now that our squad is settled and beginning to gel. We secured 9 points out of 9 - one of only two teams to achieve this feat in this year's AFCON. It’s cute that you remember the qualifiers sha. Nostalgia is all you have left now that Cameroon has sent you to the departure lounge.

I no be South African but this your last line pain me for chest. Choi. Nosta gini?

CapitalCee:
The issue is SouthAfricans are just not good enough to nail down a starting place in any European team. Its not in their gene. The best footballing countries are the Sub saharan Africans Like Mali, Nigeria, Burkinafaso, Ivoryxoast, Cameroon, Ghana and Senegal. These countries are just curropt and mismanaged FAs. Look at France NT full of Players with nationalities from French speaking countries, England, Austria, Italy, and Swiss having a lot of players with Nigerian heritage. None of these countries want to Naturalise any SouthAfrican player. They are not just good enough natuarally. Have you ever seen any SouthAfrixan player in History reach World class level? Nigeria has people like Okocha, Osihmen, Ikpeba, Kanu and Mikel. Senegal had Diouf and Mane, Ivroycoast has Drogba, Toure brothers etc. Cameroon had Etoo, Geremi, Mbeumo, Mboma, Roger Milla, Ghana had Essien, Abedi Pele, Sami Kuffour etc. Have you ever seen any South African player evr in history reach that level?

Lucas Radabe, Bennie McCarthy, Shawn Bartlett, Quinton Fortune were good players from SA who played in the premier league.

yinkeys:
Morocco didn't pass the first test against Mali
I doubt theyd brush off Cameroon
Mali showed more mental toughness in that game
And we all know Cameroon is battle tested and has more of that
This Cameroon side who aren't a strong generation compared to their ex players came back from a one nil deficit against a very tough Ivorian side to equalize. Cameroon isn't even playing pretty football
I was stunned how they equalized
They are very clinical & don't waste too many chances
Very sharp in counter attacks too
Good luck to anyone who puts money on Morocco
I think they will struggle with Cameroons physicality unless a red card changes the game
You will see Morocco mentally crumble in the late stages of the game
In FIFA world cup 2022 they sat back, playing counter attack football compared this tourney where they have to play possession football which I believe could sometimes be more difficult
I just fear Nigerias defense isn't armored properly with titan like shield for this tournament

Someone on X said that nothing concerns Cameroun with possession. They just attack and keep attacking.

Goke7:
😂 😂 😂 na real otele dem be

Them dey wipe SA cord. Kai social media bad. In time past, if you lose, you lick your wounds in a corner, hidden from the international football public but not so anymore.

Once you lose today, your pain becomes the song for other nations who'd gloat and mock you.

E dey pain. May God deliver naija cos I know they are waiting for us to slip.

Tournament football is a paradox. The joy you experience from winning, will become pain the day you lose.

Goke7:
😂 I don laugh tire, people online Dey advise SA make dem pack their load on time so they can still catch the same plane with Tanzania say their plane go drop Tanzania first before dropping them finally in SA as the last stop 😂

Watch. I don laugh tire

We go jam either Senegal or Cameroun for final. Remember Maroc 88, Cameroun robbed us.

Na everyday rain the fall throughout Morocco? Which kind country be this. Rain dey fall, snow dey fall. I no understand oo

ChrisKels:
It was SA that sent Morocco home in the last AFCON

That one too join. But the immediate cause is Broos indiscretion.

Goke7:
The SA ref in the Tunisian game yesterday must have been responsible for the hostile reception to the SA players, just thinking

Not at all. No connection whatsoever. It's Hugo Broos' comment that ticked off the Moroccans.

GanagiBitrus:
Looks like the crowd in the stadium are supporting Cameroon. Abi Morocco prefers to play Cameroon in quarter finals?

Hugo Broos said he wasn't feeling the AFCON vibe and Moroccans did not take kindly to that. It was the same indiscretion Alex Iwobi showed by making that video he made during the playoffs.

Arabs hate it when one makes them look like bad hosts.

Danielnino00:
Those guys are always trying to mask their inability to export quality players to Europe with their "we have the best league in Africa" nonsense..
Most of their players aren't good enough to cut it in Europe top clubs....

Ironically, if you ask them to mention their all time greatest players, it will include players that plied their trade in Europe.. McCarthy, Mark Fish, Redebe, Mokoena...

But SA used to have players playing in Europe. But not anymore.

Danielnino00:
South Africa didn't want us to hear word with their local league players..

They are being taught a lesson..
Their arrogance ends here....

That lion woman from SA no let us drink water

Bossoflife25:
Southy should have been 2 nil up by now if they took their chances. Cameroon never see southy post.
Southy is flogging them on the pitch. Cameroon just deuy run around like headless chicken.

How far? Who dey flog who?

Bossoflife25:
South Africa will beat Cameroon.

South Africa style will be too difficult for Cameroon to cope with.

If Mozambique could play them that way. Forget it. Southy will flog them.

Flog? You have no idea.

charlesemeka85:
Nigeria is winning this afcon. Bookmark this

It always looks like a team is coasting towards the trophy until that particular game where they lose.

Forgive my doubt. I really wish we win but I was so confident that we would make the play offs by beating Congo but we didn't.

Hope still dey oo but I thought we'd have made it through the pitch.

AndSunGorilla:
Let me guess you are 5.4 abi?

😂😂😂 You mean he's projecting abi

Hardrive:
Super eagles jersey design concept. What do you think.

Fierce. Bold. Smooth. I like it.

9JAMac10:
same here . Aside the Uefa champions league that I watch sparingly . Up Real
Madrid up Arsenal hahaha. Super eagles is my first and favorite team in ⚽️ . I prefer international football over club football by far

Club football is good but international football is sweeter

AndSunGorilla:
What if Aina didn't want to go? He got injured and sidelined after the last AFCON and also there is an alleged story that he is miffed at the NFF for abandoning him after his last injury on national duty.

But NFF President went to see him. I doubt your story is true.

As a boy, my love for this photo was crazy.

Nna ehn, e better make I no chop food, than make I no watch a super eagles match. I always saw the super eagles as the numero uno of national teams globally. Nothing concern me with club football eventhough I loved Barca because of Guily and then, Dinho.

This picture is my number1 photo for the super eagles.

Some people love their clubs but feel nothing or are indifferent to the Super Eagles. How is that possible. The thing dey baffle me.


It was SE that introduced me to football oo. Eagles for life.

elyte89:
U get insider about the dr Congo case?

Cos as I Dey like dis if dem give me option for us to lift afcon or win d case and not win afcon …na d latter option I go pick o

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2lTbBd9J8A?si=Qw7DEGPvzB3IK4dk

Just go and do refresher courses. We are going to America in five months time.

mekabuachi:
You see that FIFA case ehh 100% Dr congo is out... The problem now he say we fit still lose that intercontinental playoffs 💀
I'd rather play Algeria in quarter finals abeg than Dr congo
For semi final give me south Africa
Then finals Senegal
I think I this part will be more easier to win the AFCON than playing Dr congo in quarters, Morocco in semi's

Congo will meet a different beast when they meet us especially now that Lookman is in form. He got in behind their defense twice that day. Now that he's smoking hot, e no go easy them. It's just our leaky leaky defense is a problem.

FiveFootNinja:
Part of me actually thinks it may be the other way round. From my viewing experience, I don't think there's any rivalry in Africa as toxic and vitriolic as Egypt vs Algeria. So it will be interesting to see how the Egyptian referee prosecutes this game. If there's bias involved, it could swing either way, not just Algeria alone.

Hahaha hahaha blood is thicker than water. Don't bank on any vaunted rivalry oo. Days before our match against Tunisia, many Moroccans registered their support for us and it was touted that there's strong rivalry between Morocco and Tunisia.

Omo, on match day, inside stadium, they betrayed us and supported Tunisia 😂😂😂.

Go and watch the interview Toks of football fan tribe had with Collin Udoh. It's on YouTube. He mentioned it.

9JAMac10:
Afcon is finally back today. I want all the knockout matches to end in penalties. Drama and dread of penalty kicks is a thrill ! I don’t want super eagles to enter extra time. Nigeria to dispatch off Mozambique in regulation time. Senegal and mali to win today. Tunisia will crumble watch out

One never truly wins through penalties. It's always luck unlike when a team is beaten fair and square in regulation time or extra time
