Bruh.......CIV deserve it more than us. Forget Ref, he wasn't really bad as we really wished. We too like to blame Ref anytime we lost in the final. Let the gentleman breathes.

JPes?! He has no business coming back to Naija. He should fly directly to Lisbon from Abidjan. LOL!

Goke7:


who dey midfield?

CornOak:
Ron Williams wins the best goalkeeper of the tournament.

Mujtahida:

We did not play well. I said so before and after we scored. As a SE fan, I'd have been happy if we had won but I don't think I'd have watched the match a second time. Our play was terrible.

forgiveness:


Dude only got good long passes but no lungs to run around.

I already saw his game from U17 and I knew he could have problem in modern football but you thought I was hating.

gustav25:


Nga1-2 C'ivoire

LordTheus:


Your banter is weak. Hulk and Bolt didn't teach you well 😂.

Joezinho:
African footballer of the year Dey score one goal for tourney una dey say he get aura blah blah bullshiiiiitttt!!!

Mofo meets deadbeat teams and scores hat tricks. And some people here are saying he’s better than Yekini. SMH.

This defeat hurts.

forgiveness:


Dude was bad. He demoralized our moral.

Jpes out.

Barryseal:

My brother, I said nothing before this game, I had a hunch we will be in for a shocker. I was rather taken aback reading all sorts with people predicting how we will spank Ivory coast.

Goke7:


looks like the ref was spoken to at half time cos things looked better in the second half

COOL10:



I have never been a fan of Mourinho, but that man has won a lot of trophies with his "negative tactics." That he's having a tough time now, doesn't mean you should downplay his efforts.


I have been a Barca fan all my life, and possession football is my forte, but calling Peseiro's tactics a fluke is like putting a dent on the efforts of those players, who worked so hard to get to the final.


Some countries played good football and got eliminated. Will you call them flukes too? The South Africa that outplayed us, where are they today?

CornOak:
EKONG is The Best Player of the Tournament.

TheGoodJoe:


I have not changed my mind. I have stood by it for decades. Parked bus is fluke. No matter the titles won with it, it is fluke. Whether Mourinho won trophies, doe snot change that it was fluky reigns.

TheSuperNerd:
Ndidi is not a controller either. None of the midfielders in this team to CIV 2023 is a controller. None.

This team needed an Nwakali but Jpes kept playing dumb and stubborn.

Ndidi isn't a pass master himself.

gustav25:
I'm not banter ... Telling you the outcome ... Sorry

Barryseal:
On balance of play we simply didn't deserve to win. We even got lucky Ekong scored from that set piece.
The defence didn't trust the midfield, they kept lumping it up to Osimhen.
The fans themselves were over confident. Where all the confidence was coming from, I had no idea.

TheSuperNerd:
His current heat maps in Portugal says you are wrong. He has decent lungs to play the 90mins game. And a brilliant DLP don't have to run around. They control the game with intelligent positioning and space exploitation.

If a player has to run around too much, it means he is using brawns to cover for lack of or little brains.

Joebie:
no bro if we had won by 1-0, I would have shut my big mouth.. where are those arguing that CIV will be playing under pressure?.. this thing na logic na.

comodo:

Pls don't mention that name here unless u want some people to come for your head. No good replacement to Iwobi in this tournament. Some said he will cough out blood. But na here we dey

LordTheus:


Same way I'm just telling you that Bolt is your daddy 😭🤪.

Oasis007:




......Renerd still dey available bá? DR. Congo coach ain't bad too.

Odunayaw:
What logic na? Did you hear how silent the stadium went when we took the lead?

Anyway, na the team give you this chance sha

TheSuperNerd:
It looks like Bringing on Moses Simon didn't do anything to stop Adingra. I thought it would. But taking off Chukwueze did nothing. Moses Simon came on and Adingra kept having joy against Aina

Mujtahida:

So your team will play and enter final and you'd not be confident they'd win? Omo so your expectation was that we'd lost the match? Weren't the Ivorians confident? Why did they come to the stadium? If they had lost, you'd have told them that it was their over-confidence as fans that made their team lost?

I really detest misdiagnosis.

This fan talk is what I don't get. Is it the fans that play the ball?

gustav25:


Hope drives me insane ... I know it will happen and what better day than On the Lord's day ?

forgiveness:


Renerd is better. Jp out.

I no like the Congo coach.
