Must be nerve that got to Sinner in those 2 first set because he hasn't lost more than 1 set all tournament before today and it was again Nole

Exactly my thoughts. He’s regained his composure but Medvedev is more experienced- even though he looks the more tired

4-2

Medvedev is exhausted abeg

Leyqute:

Yeah. Otilor.

The demons of 2yrs ago resurface again.

Leyqute:
4-2

Medvedev is exhausted abeg

5-2

He played 5 set in the semi finals. Fatigue and Sinner seems to be on something, his energy level has been insane.

Unlimited22:

The pass was an equally good or even better option. Aina scuffed it. It came off his sole.

Imagine a Rashidi Yekini, in that position.

Our attackers are not confident with their shots. Obviously no supreme shooting skill in them as could be seen in their matches so far.

popizaino:


Don't start this thing again. Lookman did the right thing there by passing the ball to Aina. Kudos to the Cameroonian defender who was in time to block the shot.

Yes, he did the right thing as he didn't have that power to shoot in his legs. Even the goal he scored, was almost kept out.

I watched those Cape Verde boys, they can shoot from the central circle.

Championship point...

Affliction rises a second time for Medvedev.

Sinner pulls off a brilliant comeback. Congrats to the Italian.

It's sinner time...told y'all

How many finals have this Medvedev lost now

af0nja2000:
But he won it na.

Just like Isaac Semitoje won it

which central circle? You are a big fat liar

Okocha is the reason the midfield was overrun against Cameroun. Oliseh was working alone. All Okocha did in that game was score free kick. He was directly responsible for Camerouns midfield dominance

Go and check how we dominated the semifinal against South Africa when Okocha was suspended and we had real midfielders rather than an "entertainer" in the middle. SA was a major team back then having won 1996 and made the final in 1998. We played them off the park showing some actual midfield functionality for the first time in that tournament, but no, they had to bring Okocha back in the final to dabaru everything.

Then go and tell me how Okocha got red card in the quarter final against Senegal and we were on the brink of elimination till Oliseh had to come off the bench with malaria to bail us out with long pass to Aghahowa to turn round the tie from losing 1-0 in the dying minutes to 2-1


I will keep saying it, Super Eagles always played better without that circus footballer. USA 1994, his only start was against Italy. We were doing well till they gave him shirt. Olympics he was useless, Oruma was always the one coming on to change the game

Be honest, can you let Okocha run midfield for your club in a 4-4-2 era? Your DM better have 5 lungs to cover him

this one will be analysing based on hearsay? I'm sure you were in your mothers womb when nigeria played cameroon in 2000. Indomie kids. Airmark and raum come and school him

Any DM wey play with Okocha must suffer. With his hero na me do am football.

I believe Okocha was one of the reasons we had to start playing Garba Lawal more so he can help in midfield while Okocha continues his playground football of ayyyy huuuuu


There is a part I never wan touch yet cos it affects Kanu too. That's the part they did a palace coup for the other old guards in 2002. Oliseh, Finidi got kicked out of NT. And Okocha became captain

izzou:


Uzoho will be jittery.

Na him trademark be that.

They shouldn't have brought someone as unreliable as Uzoho to a tournament which can be won by fine margins.

AFCON 2000 final against Cameroun, who completed the comeback to take the game to penalties?

Who you don hate, you don hate am, but at least if you dey analyse Okocha, try dey talk everything as e be.

I know that you will somehow twist that match and blame Okocha for the loss. But it's fine.

Tactically Okocha made us vulnerable against Cameroun and the loss was partly on him

We played flat 442
Mutiu Furo Taribo Celestine
Finidi Oliseh Okpara Okocha
------Kanu Chukwu

Looking at that set up you see Okocha was supposed to be the left winger but because of his Tactical indiscipline he left that side and was playing a free role

Seeing the weakness Okocha caused, Pierre Lechantre the Cameroun coach put Geremi and Lauren on the right wing and double tagged Celestine to introduce us to live ganggbang of Babayaro in Surulere National stadium

That was where we lost the tactical battle. Of course the hero ball goal is what most will remember but we won't remember the vulnerability and weakness he introduced to the team

Yesterday sub out Okocha in for Iwobi and you will see us being Overrun while he will entertain us with double legover, rabona, spitting after losing ball and we will be here lamenting how we lost to this Cameroun wey no fit dribble

Do you see Okocha losing ball and sprintng back 30yards to win it back? No he will leave those dirty work for Oliseh dem

popizaino:

I don't think either Lookman nor Aina did much wrong there. The defender just did better

larride:


You say what?

Yekpa i was using previous matches to judge ni ooh, I have sinned and fallen short of jannik's mercy

Leyqute:


You underrated Sinner

I was actually hoping sinner would win chief but my liver cut after seeing him go two sets down to experienced medvedev in his first grand slam final, I'm glad for this his remontada, he and alcaraz have a grand slam now hopefully my boy Holger rune turns up and gets one for himself too, I love the way he really troubles nole

BlueMann:


Shey u dey see am?

Danil cannot be trusted

Omo the guy is inconsistent like NEPA, see golden opportunity to add to his GS collection but this guy is unlucky ooh, in his early twenties he was collecting from them nole and nadal now in his prime he's battling against young dagboru boys that are ready to stamp their mark in the world of tennis whenever he escapes nole, I pity him sha, but at least he's won a grand slam, na all those zverev and tsistipas i just dey look dey shake head

cuffee:
do you know edmundo, enzo scifo, gheorghe hagi

Edmundo the animal. What he and Romario did to Man utd in one game that ended 3-1 hastened Gary Nevilles retirement

Enzo Scifo of Belgium

Gheorghe Hagi that Carpathian Maradona. In 1994 it was Hagi Dumitrescu Petrescu

Leyqute:


What other options do they have?

His high profile mistake against Ghana that stopped us from going to WC, coupled with his recent suspicious mistakes in his recent games is enough reason for us to scout for another option before this tourney.

Oliseh and Finidi were finished though.

You are right about Lawal. I believe it was Phillipe Troussier that started it. We were being overrun in central midfield.

Chelsea suppose sign that guy with his Zanku legwork

raumdeuter:

Yes that was a very good block by that Cameroon defender nouhou, Aina even tried to place it at the far corner even though he didn't hit it with power

You still never answer the question. Uzoho no be am but what other options do we have? I’m not trolling. I just want to know.

Oliseh young pass Okocha o? We lost

That time fans go dey vex say Garba no dey attack for wings and for coach to drop am while every coach go dey start am. They know once they drop Garba na Oliseh go carry all the midfield load alone

Leyqute:

I am saying we should have scouted for someone else before this tourney. Surely, we can't get some a little more decent than Uzoho. Okoye is even better than Uzoho.

Finished is not just about age. Injuries dealt with Oliseh. He was not the same guy again by that time. Finidi was very finished by that time.

I remember that time Troussier with his French accent saying, "Garba Lawal plays according to instruction". Fans go dey vex!

Although i think later on Lawal was playing there partly to protect Pastor Taribo as well.
