Care to watch something Different for a change?

Nigeria vs Kenya - U-20 AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS
Live from CAF TV YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6SP-bknoTY&ab_channel=CAFTV

Game starts by 4pm.
Last group game, 3rd place go through, so even a draw should be enough for us.

OGN reporting that Chelle talking to Adarabioyo. Honestly I think he would be like a Kevin Prince Boateng to us. In my opinion, while we need his abilities, it's clear his heart isn't with us. They should let him be.

Simon Cletus is quite the gem. First start and already an assist and a fine first half display from the young midfield talent.

Are the flying eagles playing by 4om today?
U20 Afcon Nig 1 Ken 1 HT
Mor 1 Tun 0 HT

I am appalled at the rate of stray passes and short passes that will not reach the target
The match is not as expected but they are holding it down

Why he did not feature in the first 2 matches is a mystery. 70% of this team needs to be overhauled.

HT: Nigeria 1-1 Kenya.

Kenya scored via penalty after Emmanuel Chukwu handball just at the edge of the box. He had his left foot in the box and right foot outside the box.

Then highly rated striker, Kparobo Arierhi got us back on level terms 7 mins after Kenya scored. The assist was sumptuous from Simon Cletus.

He don't handled it, it was ball to hand, a shot

I guess the fact that he is the youngest MF in the team played a part. Simon is Captain of the U17 team that finished 3rd at the U17 WafuB. A top talent he is. Thank God Aliyu can see further what he brings to the team.

Which kind gem grin
The guy that has not been able to dominate the midfield though he had an assist but our midfielders are poor passers of the ball
The right of our defence has been overloaded by the Kenyans hope the coach will attend to this
Wish them the best

His hand touched the ball in the box cuz he tried his back to the strike
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 4:59pm On May 07, 2025
Yes. Just explaining it was a handball call. Also the hand was away from his body. The controversy is whether it should have been a FK or a PK but VAR said PK.

Simon's passing has been decent all game. Be honest. I know you dont rate this team at all.

He is the youngest and not physically imposing but the lad is quite cerebral. Has done better than Divine Oliseh has done so far and Oliseh is rated the better talent.

He had one foot in the box. I guess VAR used that. But honestly, it was controversial.

I disagree. The number 9 is also a serious talent. You dont know this team.

Israel Isaac Ayuma finally showing his ball striking. It was a nice effort but just inches off target.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 5:11pm On May 07, 2025

Poor setpiece defending and Kenya are back in the lead.

No one pick him up at the far post. Not good.

Rickson wins a penalty for Nigeria. Immediate response after a freekick won.

A chance to get back into the game.

That free kick should had been avoided

Benched for Ayuma. Ochedikwu's physical presence in the middle vs Ayuma's ball playing nous. ZUBAIRU just went with his hunch.
