YOU MISSED THE PLOT. THAT WAS BEFORE.
AFROBEATS BROUGHT BACK AFRICAN CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE DIASPORA.
ANYTHING AFRICA TREND NOW!
THE REASON THEY WANT TO KILL IT!
Social media is different from real life bruh.

I agree with the Afrobeats thing a bit. Mostly US and not Europe.

When is CAF/FIFA sanctioning Morocco for their use of lasers during a tournament of this nature despite ban by the organisers?

Imagine pointing lasers on the referee.
Sad to see in a major tournament as this

Was must remember a similar event was using Victor moses as right back but man sees himself as a winger hence he couldn't track back which was what led ro Argentina's goal at the world cup.

Please Enough of Osayi. I am sure Eric Chelle brought in Ryan for a reason.

Thank you. COJA 2003, hosted by Nigeria which was bigger than AFCON was highly rated and praised then for its modern infrastructure facilities. A new stadium (Abuja stadium) was built because of the tournament.

It will take years upon years for Morocco to catch up with what Nigeria has achieved in football across all categories. Morocco has not even caught up with Egypt or Cameroun's pedigree ranks.

In football, it is not mouth. Nigeria are truly Africa's Giant.

Forget Youth tournaments...Talk about the senior team.
Morocco's current run including their SF appearance at the World Cup is more impressive than anything the Super Eagles have ever done in their history..

For me it's the height of dishonesty for people to keep using past achievements of Nigeria to brag. Yes, we had it good then but now things are dire.

Can Nigeria today host the All Africa Games, talk more of the AFCON? No!

Doesn't mean we should sit on our bums because we have achieved so much.

Administration needs to step up their game and do the needful so that we can enjoy sports in the country again the way it used to be in the 80s and 90s. I'm sick and tired of people daydreaming about the past even though our present is in shambles.

Let's do things right and restore that national pride and confidence in our football.

AFCON history
Please can someone tell me the last time Nigeria knocked out a North African team at AFCON in recent times 🤔

But South Africa would find it easier to play North Africans rather than face West Africans
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by EEGA: 6:45am On Dec 22, 2025
Adams pairs Osimhen in attack taking Lookman's position in attack at the last AFCON.
Chukwueze takes Simon's role in the last AFCON.

A mid-field 3 of Onyeka,Iwobi and Ndidi.


A back 4 OF Zaidu,Bassey,Ogbu and Osayi.

This should be our best lineup going into this tournament.




Go !Go !!Super Eagles.

20 AFCON tournament appearances for the Super Eagles.
16 times have we appeared in the semi-finals.
Impressive record I must say.
Nigeria is no pushover when it comes to the AFCON.

The guy said the law was amended to suit the sportsmen with dual nationality,whether he was making it up or he was right is unknown to me,I don't know anything about their law,the guy is probably a Ghanaian or South African, I watched it on YouTube.

I don't take all of these things serious.
Mine is that the Super Eagles should be allowed to focus on the AFCON,they were given multiple chances to qualify but they failed, they should be allowed to move on.
Can you please share the link to the YouTube video?

They want to bench Lookman for Adam because they think he is not good enough.

I just dey laugh. grin

He is arguably the best player in that team along with Osimhen.

Only if una wan deceive unaself you will put some players ahead of him.

See Atalanta, the same player that was poor under one coach suddenly regained form under another coach. Why? The latter trust his ability and gave him almost full time.

Lookma na second half player. Leave him till the end and see him perform.

Chelle lost it when he pulled him out against Dr Congo along with Osimhen. I couldn't understand his rational behind bringing him out.

Trust him and he will deliver. But I know why they are against him. They feel he is not assisting Osimhen. Shuuuuu!!!

They even lied on this platform SE never scored more than 2 goals when he played. What an irony!!!

Make un dey lie small small
