Onyeka is underated
He's not as good, slow and very indecisive player.

So Ola Aina that I watch play is the best African right back, damn this one don pass grace. Na juju

Nigeria have so much talents in the street but selection is based on privilege, if not we could have utilized our overpopulation to be amongst the bests in the world in every sector

Haller and oshimen should be there
Unfortunately the only bad game he had was the final game...at that tournament no right back played better than Ola AIna, overall

Bassey deserves to be on that list.

I’ll choose Nwabali as the best goalkeeper of the tournament, sentiment apart.
Give it to the SA goalkeeper please.

Aina is rightfully one of the best in the tournament but was very tired for the final.Aina played left back against SA when Zaidu was injured (or suspended).Osayi - Samuel who played from the right against SA should have played instead of Aina for the final.Aina struggled throughout the final.The second goal by the Ivorians clearly showed it.He couldn’t cut out the cross.

If Onyema isn’t there- forget it.

Aina messed up- How could u allow a small boi mess all ur effort up.

My guy let that guy feel some intelligent hit either in his thigh, knee or collision of any sort and jump and land on his face, tommy, leg, angle in a way. Or better still deep hands into his eye angry

And u see the attacker avoiding you throughout the game

Ola Aina has no business being in this list.......my grand mother would have played better than that ewedu muncher if she was alive.

Someone that the young man from Ivory coast called Adingra was running over him like he had no legs.

Ola Aina should be the worst player of the tournament, he caused us the lost of the final
The way dat short Ivorian run pass aina to make tat cross shock me. Tosey Ainaa stop am that goal no for enter.

I'm not surprised that Osimeh was not on the list and in all the comments here no one made a Case for his non inclusion. If I were the Coach I would have removed Osimeh in the 55th minutes.

Clearly, tribalism is what is biting you. What a shame. Kudos to Aina and all the guys on the list.

Emilio Nsue plays in Spanish 3rd tier league as a right back yet he scored most goals in the nations Cup playing in an unfamiliar striking role. Our own fraud and so called African footballer of the year Osihmen just dey run around like headless chicken without any significant impact at the Afcon. He better remain in Naples and be scoring his Tap ins. No wonder napoli management named that winger their best player. Osihmen na overhype
Kvaratskhelia is a better player than Victor.

Imagine Aina is in the list and most people complained about him forgetting that we were praising him from the very first match. His only mistake was in the final.
Make we try dey appreciate these guys.


I was also thinking this Adingra guy would be in the list.
Nice one though.
Thank you o. Well said.

Emerse fae been named the best coach in the tournament and Ivory coast been the champion of the tournament shows God is indeed the best planner,no one in the whole world could have predicted these especially after Ivory coast were annihilated by Equitorial guinea.Its all written in the stars.

Man is goood, made me curse him on final day, a 10/10 player turn 3/10 on a final. That match still dey pain me jor. That cup was ours for the taking, we simply just lost it.
Honestly. The cup supposed to be an easy grab. The day I confirmed he's a very good player was the day we played with South Africa. Then I didn't know his name, I had to ask my husband 'pls what's the name of the guy in afro', he said Aina, I told him the guy is a baller and he confirmed it. They played with all their might and strength that day. Only God knows what happened to him in the last game

Fair enough. My outstanding SE players of the tournament in no particular order.

1. Troost Ekong
2. Ola Aina
3.Ademola Lookman
4.Calvin Bassey
5.Simon
6.Nwabali
7.Osimhen

I particularly give it to the first-four players,they played their hearts out !
Exactly the same names I would have on my list, plus Moses Simon.

p.s. - nice to see you comment without the usual tribalistic tirade.
