Black stars of Ghana is so bad now that , even shooting stars of Ibadan can beat them .

Meanwhile... Our breads are done

Hanibal:
Meanwhile... Our breads are done

Our own bredas 😂

Such a relief that we found the equalizer yesterday.

Our FIFA ranking would have taken a hit had we lost.

Ghana

It is done

mekabuachi:
I'd like to see the dark arts Libya would do against Benin republic

😂 like diverting their plane to Sahara desert

Our bredas will be watching AFCON 2025 only on TV.

BankyGee:
Omo wetin dem do?

I think they are bankrupt and maybe cannot meet their financial obligations

Okoye..
Let's see you now

BankyGee:
Osimhen is class, man... To the defender that marked him all through the game, he said:

“You are good, brother. Continue like this and you'll go far”

Ídolo 🦁👑🦅

That's Bellingham!!! That's who I was referring to!

lbrichman2:

Ooh. Thanks.

TheSuperNerd:

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ooh, na him 🤣 Osimhen too say he good. 😂

Samueltemi337:
At the end of the day them go reach AFCON comot for round of 16 or quarter finals

Someone was asking me on Twitter what will happen if we meet them, told him we won't lose, worst case scenario na draw. Morocco no go beat us even if we play them tomorrow.

elyte89:
And who says we need a 6 straight win to qualify sef…for us to be on a safer side we need it though,but if odas too are dropping points ,most especially 🇧🇯 and southies ,we only need 5wins and a draw to qualify

If something doesn't change, our last games do not show that we can get 5 straight wins.

BankyGee:
Omo no worry, Morocco 🇲🇦 are really the best team in Africa! What am I watching? 😳

People wey dem give 2.15 odds to beat Gabon 🇬🇦

5' Gabon [1]–[0] Morocco
17' Gabon [1]–[1] Morocco (Hakimi A's freekick to header)
21' Gabon [1]–[2] Morocco (corner to goal) Diaz B.
23' Gabon [1]–[3] Morocco (corner to goal) Diaz B.

Omo x20000 - set pieces masterclass!

My Maroc boys ended up winning 5-1 away from home. Lord have mercy! 😭😭

Sporadic shots all over...

Samueltemi337:
If There was no Osimhen in AFCON 2023 we for nor reach finals
Forget say Na just one goal he score
But the penalties he won and assist took us to the finals

.

Besides Osimhen is a "fighter", a team player and a unifying factor in d team, but Yekini............tbc

minfelix:
very unpopular fact🔥

.


Then counter with fact!

zicky:
or onyeka and Lookman. Osimhen gave his all in that tournament but it will be false to say he took us to the finals

.


The team was outstanding in general but some player shown like a star among whom is Osimhen.

Kog45:
Kenya are not minnow in the 80s,in fact they made Afcon 88 and i do not think Yekini had any goal against Madagascar, Comoros, Lesotho, CAR, Equitorial Guinea and Rwanda cuz it was not easy then in the 80s for these teams to face bigger teams due to strictly CAF features.

A well widespreads features would have seen Yekini scoring more than 37 goals but anyhow Osimhen is going to beat that record with ease.

South Africa came into the party late in 1991 due to aparthied but fast forward they won Afcon 96,meaning they are not amateurs....yes we beat SA, 4-0 in Lagos but return leg was war and it ended 1-1

.

SA winning Afcon in 1996 was A COMPLETE FLUKE and it happens due to Nigeria boycotting the NC. After 1996 what has SA tangibly done?

Mujtahida:
I don't blame him. Na goal he wan score. I think Marco Van Basten suggestion that the offside rule should be dispensed with is making some bit of sense to me.

Go back and watch old football. You will not see this nonsense of keeping a high line compressing the field of play and contributing to the side ways passing that has come to dominate modern football. Cos if you play direct football, you'd be caught in the offside trap.

A mediocre coach with mediocre but disciplined players will manipulate space and even without touching the ball, they will make you suffer and possibly defeat you.

It's high time football is rescued from the hands of coaches and put back into the hands of players.

It shall not be well with Gaurdiola for what he did to football. He destroyed this beautiful game. From jogo bonito, it has become jogo jogodo

😂🤣

South Africa got readmitted into international football in 1992 and fast forward won Afcon,always Afcon participants,quailified for 3 WCs.... Pls is there anytime SA a minnow in Africa football?

Yes i said this, better to be excused as a mark of respect for his Dad... Okoye oya

He never said it wasn't a fact village reporter
He said it was an unpopular fact, meaning a lot might not like the fact or many people are not aware of the fact and stuff like that. 🤝🏾

If them give any country apart from Angola that Team of the Year award, na cheating. I said it two days ago that Ghana won't beat them when someone here asked. They are by far the best "team" in Africa at the moment, for a team ranked 82nd in the world and out of the top 10 in Africa, they are the African team with the most wins in 2024, and have only lost twice. 1–0 to both Morocco and Nigeria.

By the time the new rankings drop, Ghana would find themselves at 77th or 78th while Angola will go up to 76th or 77th.

That their coach na idan abeg. Respect!

Philosopher1979:
Moses simon is badly underrated. I even think hw may deserve a better league/club. I wonder why we don't rate him

With his drastic improvement on ball delivery, coupled with his style of play, he reminds me of prime Sadio Mane.

It may interest you to know that Yekini's favorite opposition was Ivory Coast. He scored more against them (7 in 8 games) than against any other opponents in his 37 goals journey across 62 NT games.

After CIV, it was Kenya (5 goals in 4 games).

Subzerooo:
Lol Imagine Osimhen playing Madagascar or Comoros of the old days, he would score 5 every match

And its also a good omen for African football.

princeabdul:
With all the new evidences available to me, Victor Osimhen is better than haaland.

Hmm ...can you highlight me your reasons?

Yea the team put up a very good show. I love Osimhen as a player and I'll pick him over Haland due to his all round game. But coming to say without Osimhen the team won't have gotten to the finals is a fallacy. If I'm to rate our players base on performance at Afcon Ekong, Lookman, Onyeka might be ahead of him.
