That bassoflife, shey na that guy wey no fit forgive Osimhen after failed to qualify for 2022 WC?

Procashtips:
, as long as he's not going to take aftee Uzoho.

Not at all. I wan give una Buffon 😂😂

QueenJazz:
Lol. Normally X is for post-match banter and tomfoolery. 😂

For analysis and reasoned predictions, I rely on Nairaland SE thread and few choice channels on YouTube like EaglesTracker and Football Fans Tribe.

Even this Nairaland, the only place with intelligent contributors is on this thread. If you go to other threads and see the rubbish they write, you'll just weak.

It's awful

On match day, it's best to stay on this thread and YouTube than on X.

On X, the ignorance of the average Nigerian fan is shocking. You'd see people who have not followed the SE for years making stupid comments. You go just weak.


And then again how is it possible to be an avid club fan but feel nothing for the SE?

See this post 👇👇. See this person mentioning Tosin Adarabioyo instead of Semi. They don't even know our players.

Procashtips:
You make it sound like the deflection was done intentionally. If the ball had hit the ref and straight into the net, what would you say?.

I blame Nwabali more for that goal than Osayi. Anyone could have been at that position and still would have entered.

The job of the goal keeper is to keep balls away from the back of the net whether deflected or not.

That space was too narrow to have allowed that ball in. Shows he's weak on that side.

No. The deflection is the culmination of his bad defending. I had complained before he even dragged the jersey of the Gabonese player.

One of Benjamin's strength is how he uses his body especially his shoulders to shield attackers making runs at him. So he'd use his shoulders instead of his legs to shield you. Even if you fall down, it would be taken that you lost in the battle of strength. Using his legs would result in penalties.

If he was trained to play this way then it's a very intelligent training.. If it's his own cue to play this way, then it's astonishing because most defenders use their legs more in such situations than their bodies.

mekabuachi:
Own goals are on the players Sha
That AFCON pour me water incident 😂😂
He manages pressure better now sha

Yeah that's why I called it bad luck. It's happening too often now almost every other game.

BankyGee:
The Law God bless you for this video... Omo now I'm now confident in Éric Chelle even more than how I was before. This man damn well knows what he's doing and he speaks intelligently than any other coach that has coached the Super Eagles in recent years!

He tracks 500+ Nigerian players and watches 80+ per week? No worry the man good.

His substitutions are always impactful, he uses almost everyone on the bench. Our players became this united under him. Did you see when he came to press Osimhen's shoulder playfully when Osimhen was giving an interview to the ESPN reporter? The man come humble join.

Our players are beginning to display the mentality of winners now, and funnily enough, this is just a beginning process o 🙆🏾‍♂️

I tagged you when I posted this interview three weeks ago or didn't I?

His subs often score - Arokodare against Rwanda, Adams against Lesotho, Onyeka against Benin, Ejuke against Gabon.

But he has to break the jinx of conceding at the dying minute - Zimbabwe, Gabon and even the AFCON pour - me - water - incident.

And the bad luck of own goals - Ajayi, Ekong, Osayi.

Procashtips:
Are we counting deflection as a quality indices?

Do you think I'd say the same thing if it was Benjamin who deflected the ball?

Sadiqali24:
A goal and assist from ademola lookman today.. bookmark this

I just feel he will be impactful in today's game

ChrisKels:
The boy was wise, unfortunately, his younger brother was not as wise and lucky. While Chinedu fought for a better life from the ghetto through football, his younger brother was consumed by ghetto life. Dude is a jailbird. If Chinedu and his brothers were born in their hometown in Anambra, his younger brother would have been a highly dreaded Bagger or Egede.

So Bassey is from Anambra? I thought he's from Cross Rivers cos Bassey is common to Cross Rivers/Akwa Ibom people. In fact, I've never heard, seen or met an Igbo person bearing that name.

That his younger brother is a wasted man. Bassey also appears to be God fearing.

ChrisKels:
Bro I don't know the name of that bridge but it is between Nasarawa and Agatu. Better fear catch me as I dey drive untop that bridge. I couldn't look sideways. I had to comport myself make my sisters wey I carry no find out say fear dey my body. I dey fear water like mad 😂🤣😂

That's the name of the bridge. So you have never passed through Makurdi River Benue bridge? You go faint be that.

ChrisKels:
Oh really? No Igala person has ever played for the national team?😯😯

None oo. Back in those days, I used to think Wilson Oruma was Igala cos our people bear Oruma (in fact that is the name of one of our family friends ) but I realized he's from Delta State.

ChrisKels:
Simon is Idoma from Odugbehor in Agatu LGA. If you have driven to the east from Abuja via Nasarawa, you would know Agatu. First time I drove through that route, I wan piss for body untop that bridge between Nasarawa and Agatu because I dey fear water like mad.

Oweto bridge abi?

charlesemeka85:
yes benue pple are very nice. The idoma’s if not known you may mistake them to be igbos

There is one that is my colleague at work wey I been think say na igbo girl until last week when she told me she is from Idoma but grew up in Enugu I shock.

Even I heard they share some names with igbos and that our tradition and customs are alike

Idoma land shares border with Enugu while Igala land shares border with Enugu and Anambra.

ChrisKels:
Nwanne I thought you were Idoma oo. Abi you be Orring or Igede.

Na a. I'm Igala oo. Nago people

ChrisKels:
Very strong people. My brother's bakery in Enugu is run by them, and I must tell you, they are good people. Idoma people are also nice. In fact, you Benues are nice people from what I have seen here with many of you in Enugu.

I'm from Kogi Sha but grew up in makurdi. Yeah both ethnic groups in Benue are nice.

Emmy450:
I thought akor Adams is from Niger state? Although his name does sound Idoma🤔
I'm from the middle belt too (Idoma).
permit me to ask, what tribe are you sir?

That's an Idoma name. No Niger man bears Akor. Once you see Akor, it's either the person is Idoma or Igala.

I doubt you are Idoma. How can you say you are Idoma and yet say that you thought Akor is from Niger.

As in if an Igbo guy says that he thinks someone bearing Eze is from Akwa Ibom, you'd surely doubt whether that person is really Igbo

9JAMac10:
Chukwueze >> Lookman. Sam had better bond and chemistry with Osimhen than lookman does. Lookman likes to hold on to the ball unevenly , is selfish and wants to be a headliners hero. That hat trick was a year ago , he better step up or step out . Players full Nigeria home and diaspora

Lookman was not selfish in the last match. He laid it nicely for Osimhen but Osimhen fluffed it.

mostob:
🤣🤣🤣

Everything don turn system.
I just dey imagine Pep turning Roberto Carlos or Marcelo into inverted full back. Football fans for miss alot

There's a video of Henry where he said that while he was at Barcelona, he was not getting joy on one wing, so he switched. He said immediately he did that, Pep removed him.


Maybe under Pep, that kind run Benjamin made will not be permitted as everybody has their place and space

charlesemeka85:
Anthony Ujah too is from Idoma

Yes. Bartholomew Ogbeche too

Joebie:
Lookman was immense against Gabon, provided several passes to Osimhen. But there is just something about his passes, maybe a little heavy, maybe a little out of position than Osimhen is used to.

He really tried to make a goal for Osimhen but his play lacked smoothness but I see him being pivotal tomorrow.

Chukwueze unlike his game against Benin returned to his old pattern of trying to do too much instead of keeping it simple.

Joebie:
kai.. i dey enjoy your imputs. i'm learning

So Tiv people would problably have given us Dominic Iorfa jnr if he didn't stall when we wanted him.

Yes ooo. I was born and brought up in makurdi. So I know a little about these things.

After Atlanta 96, a street in makurdi was renamed Daniel Amokachi Street.

Tiv people are usually strong. Very good farmers.

charlesemeka85:
that man killed football I swear

Blue font man go soon come write thesis

Joebie:
haha.. we for kuku no make the play offs, we for still play those friendlies. Walahi, if we no qualify after all these ones, e go pain me pass

Bro we must qualify. I can't bear the thought of us not qualifying. We must qualify. We must.

mostob:
Na afro remain for him to turn to Willian 🤣🤣.

Brazil no too get authentic samba boys again. Pep and his Tilitaka ideology don flush their jogo bonito down the drain. Vinicus still dey try but his attitude on the pitch overshadows his skills.

Pep the killer of football

Joebie:
I dropped a 2-1 prediction against Gabon. it almost happened.

I'm not being cautious. I've not really thought about it. Let me think

I see Lookman scoring two goals. I don't do predictions sha but this is the impression I get.

Joebie:
Well, I have to say we need to study what actually happened. The easiest route is to assume it just happened after a number of year of "developing". I think this is one area we need to improve on -- research and data.

Toh, you and me know that we are poor in that area. I'm not assuming it just happened oo. I'm saying it did not happen because we wanted to decolonize our music. We kept at it - high life in the 50's through the 70s, Fela's Afro beat in the 70-90s, Reggae in the 80's, Afro juju, etc
We fused all these into the current musical output.

The reason why I tend to baulk at the idea of decolonization is because that makes us start from the premise that we are chained, held back and oppressed. That kind of thinking garners a lot of emotional appeal but I don't think it's helped us.

It's time to look at our issues with fresh eyes


Anyway back to football. You never drop your prediction. I see you are being cautious.

QueenJazz:
I'm supporting you na. 😁

U dey fear humble beginnings? 😂

He's had his humble beginnings during his time at Ikorodu FC. We now have our eyes on the big apple.

QueenJazz:
And u wan collect Nigeria job. Highest you go see na Tonga national team. 🤣🤣🤣

Be careful.
