Let’s see how Peseiro go do defense for that game
I hope ndidi is back from injury before then...I missed that lad in the afcon.

We desperately neeed a creative midfield.

One match does not determine but a tournament or season. This season, fifa has not conducted any tournament but Africa did. Africa should update the record against fifa previous records. My point is, in 2024, Morocco should not be ranked as number one in Africa. Senegal, Nigeria, Ivory coast, Congo, cape varde, and South Africa should be at the top 5.
Remember it's an accumulation of points. And most of the teams Morocco defeated were higher ranked.

Yes Fifa determines the points which I think they are not accurate accordingly.

Why is it corresponding with world rankings... These people are still slaves and do not have the mind of their own. They should be able to teach fifa the real African ratings. As far as am concerned, Morocco is not number 1
accumulated points is what determines ranking morroco had a good world cup beatin belguim thats top 5 also Portugal too it has aided thrm so going out of afcon quarter finals wont mak them fal... It's like cgpa.. a student with 5:0 5:0 year one and two then get 4:0 4:0 subsequent years ll still graduate with Ist class

Please kindly shut up. Lemme break it down for you. I guess ur a novice in football.
Nwabali- Chippa United ( SA)
Aina- Nottingham Forest (EPL)
Zaidu- Porto fc ( champions League)
Troost- Paok top Greek league team
Iwobi- Fulham Fc
Ademola- He's there highest goal scorer this season in Seria A ( Italy)
Chukwueze -Milan.

To mention a few.

Let's motivate our own no matter what.

The almighty Morocco, Ghana and the rest you're hailing didn't qualify to quarter final of recent Afcon.
The guy is saying the truth and nothing but the truth.

Nigeria is not in the top 5 Africa best footballing team of all time.

I watched Brentford v Liverpool today and saw how poor Onyeka was despite his importance to our national team. We need to accept the fact we don't have many top players at top clubs right now.

Nwabali- S/A
Aina- Nottingham
Zaidu- Portugal
Troost- ?
Iwobi- Fulham
Ademola- not a top player
Chukwueze -Milan. Top club but Chukwueze is not a top player. Very poor decision making
Osimhen- Napoli. Enjoying a top season but doesn't have the same construct that makes him dangerous when playing for super eagles. He is surrounded by better players at Napoli and his role is very clear.

We tend to overhype ourselves too much. We have only won 3 nations cup same as Ivory coast.
Nigeria has never gone onto the quarter finals of the world cup ever
Cameroun
Senegal
Ghana
And Morocco have done so
You just spoke the Truth. We tend to over hype our ourselves too much in this country.

Most of them think Nigeria is the best footballing Nation out of Africa but in the real sense, in my opinion they are not even in the top 5 list...

The same notion they have about Nigeria being the giant if Africa.

FIFA and their fake news. They will soon join CNN as a pariah.

Try? What was our rank in the world in 1994? Nigeria should bury their heads in shame.

Its tiring. Nigerians are told early enough they are this and that. 😂
Reality says otherwise.

Eventually most will realise the truth.
In football, we have only won 3 nations cup, never gone beyond second round of world cup, only qualified first time for the mundial in 94, i think we have only won the Caf champions league twice in over 50 yrs. I believe Enyimba of Aba did it twice.

Egypt won Nations cup back to back 3 times. Great teams win it thrice. To do it in succession shows how good they were.
But Nigerians still think they are the giant of african football.

Even the u17 we win, you and I understand how we do it

Bro don't mind them. It's Even shameful that non of our club side can be ranked in the top 10 Africa football clubs

All we do is just make noise and get annoyingly loud online.

Do you know the position other African players from other African countries have reached before. A certain Samuel Eto was 3rd in the world..

Need I also remind you that for over 20yrs a Nigerian has not won African footballer of the year until Osimhen did so now.
