We need world-class players everywhere. Ajayi and Ndidi will take you nowhere.

If Morocco wins this game, they will win the World Cup.

Congo DR has tied Portugal, whom Nigeria lost to. I don't want to hear Nigeria should have been at this WC ahead of them.

France 1-1 Ivory Coast 56mins played

What's up with our throw-ins? Why are we always in panic mode, but when it's the opposition's turn, they easily find their man?

Atletico looking to sign Osimhen at the end of the Season. Is this true?

I just saw the highlights. We were okay defensively but we could have played better when attacking.
Nigerian midfielders were isolated more than often.
Ball control was a problem the players were not settled. The touch wasn't there. Seems the occasion affected them in a way but kudos they held their own for the most part.
In transition our players too long to make obvious passes before they were closed down.
The moroccans were sharper at intercepting pass and pressed to prevent our build up play. They were more technical and had the better build up play.
Our attackers were not at their best and struggled to find rhythm all day.
We managed to hold them despite playing them at home in that atmosphere.
The bottom line is if we played 50% of our normal game we would have beaten them. The performance for an attacking perspective was poor. Almost nothing clicked. The coach needs to find a plan B to attack coherently when the other team had figured a way to stem plan A.

The midfield will now be open after the substitution. poor management

What if Eric Chelle leaves for Tunisia after AFCON and then the FIFA verdict favors Nigeria over Congo?

We escaped a penalty

Senegal
Morocco
Nigeria
Côte d'Ivoire

Yes it has, but this video is from AFCON 2023

End of the road for Nigeria

Kilishihunter:
I prefer Congo sha cause we will want to prove a point against them. Algeria are even looking better than Morocco in my opinion but our attack should give them serious problems

Nigeria has grown to making good teams look tame in the competition. They just need to keep this up and not panic when things do not go their way.

Nigerians like Negative news. Focus on the game and how played. Players may have moved on.

South Africa should beat Cameroon based on what I just watched.

CIV, Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria, Algeria, Mali and Senegal should go through.

CapitalCee:
Ivory coast 🇨🇮 Vs Burkinafaso 🇧🇫
Egypt 🇪🇬 vs Benin 🇧🇯

Cameroon 🇨🇲 vs South Africa 🇿🇦
Morocco 🇲🇦 vs 🇹🇿 Tanzania

Nigeria 🇳🇬 vs Mozambique 🇲🇿
Algeria 🇩🇿 vs DR Congo 🇨🇩

Tunisia 🇹🇳 Vs 🇲🇱 Mali
Senegal 🇸🇳 vs Sudan 🇸🇩

I maintain that we need to learn to defend. We are too porous when a team decides to attack. We are keeping the ball better which is a form of defense. Watch out for Mozambique. We must maintain our game against them and be patient if the goals are not coming.

Danielnino00:
It seems like the only way the super Eagles can play defensively compact like this is if we use a 3 man defense....

Yeah, but will this coach implement this? Tunisia will so carve us...

Dannyxy:
As per Afcon, Nigeria is an immersive team, I don’t know when Africa will learn to not underrate a tournament Nigeria team.

Tournament Nigeria team is always another beast, because it’s not 2 days training they are using to come at you, it’s days/weeks of training, tomorrow game might not be all that, but then see from that second game, una go see beast…

Nigeria will win this Afcon.

Nigeria does not have the team to beat any team at this AFCON. That said, I hope they can play to their potential and close off loopholes.
Defence is average
Midfield below average
Forwards are okay
Team chemistry needs improvement
Goalkeeping average

Not inspired by this current team.

We did not lose the game. It was a tie. Penalties are lottery to an extent. We seem to play not to lose.

The team defended well for the most part. For the 2nd half and the whole of extra time no to concede. This is a plus we can take to the AFCON.

That said 8 outfield players need to be replaced with more technical and mentally strong players if we are to improve this team.

Nigeria looking like they will lose this game. They cannot handle the physicality.

Cocony:
In a conspiracy theory I developed, I foresee Infantini doing a needful to ensure direct qualification for Cameroun whilst Cape Verde goes to play off. Senegal, Ghana and Ivory Coast will also qualify directly.
Who can complete the seeming ideology behind the conspiracy theory?

Cape Verde automatic loss to Eswatini

minfelix:
can Ethiopia hold this Burkinabes bayi🤣🤣 see as they are seriously playing 0-0 like say na wetin go end the match b that🤣🤣

If they can hold BF, along with the Mali result, Nigeria can get in top 4 with a win on Tuesday regardless of the South Africa game.

Some of you are misunderstanding the H2H tie breaker. Most away goals of TEAMS INVOLVED.(Just between Benin and Nigeria. Not all teams in the group)
The case of 1-0 favors Nigeria
The case of 2-1 we are tied on H2H
The case of 3-2 favors Benin because they would have more away goals.

South African win puts them through.

🤣🤣

Match Fixing task number 1 lol

minfelix:
its not overrrr naaaaa
ive already predicted
Cameroon
Gabon
DRC
Burkina faso/Nigeria/Madagascar

make una comot eyes for DRC and Gabon matches…their place in the top 4 is secured

Yeah it's not over until it is over. Probabilities are pretty low at this point.

-South Africa dropping 3pts

2nd place playoff hopes:

-Bukina Faso drawing or losing to Ethiopia
-Nigeria scoring lots of goals in the next two games [to better Burkina Faso's GD]
-Madagascar drawing or losing to Mali

DRC just beat Togo. So it is over at this point

Unless Nigeria can beat Lesotho 5-0 and beat Benin 3-0, it is done.

Hope for DRC not to beat Togo.

If DRC wins, Nigeria is toast.

Have you forgotten this U-20 team do not know how to score.

Joebie:
this one go need several "else if" statement o

It all boils down to this. It's at least staying alive in the competition as opposed to being qualified.

The equation is simple

if (Nigeria.beats(SouthAfrica) == TRUE)
{
Result = "Qualify";
}
else
{
Result = "Eliminated";
}
