Egypt vs South Africa. Salah's goal was not a penalty. Wrong call by the referee ❌ Egypt's Yasser Ibrahim's foul was not a penalty Right call by the referee ✔️ I liked the way Egypt defended resolutely. Very organized, disciplined, energetic and filled with tireless running. Can the Super Eagles defend so resolutely with a back four of Bassey, Ajayi, Osayi and Zaidu? I don't know. Osayi and Zaidu switch off sometimes. Ajayi is average, butty and lacks that defensive grit. Chai, injury did us a strong thing with the absence of Aina and Frederick because the only solid person in our defence is Calvin Bassey. I'm certain we'll qualify for the 2nd round but to win the AFCON we have to be defensively solid and not leak goals. The only remedy in my opinion is to increase the numbers in defence. Eric Chelle should switch to a five man defence in the knockout stages. |

But seriously, why didn't caf just leave AFCON for December. If you notice, most league in europe have gone to break. You can see playes flying to morroco to come and watch matches. |

Eric Chelle should switch to 3-5-2 with immediate effect. We are the giants of Africa. I no wan make any team disgrace us o! |

zuchyblink:it's not by formation. Tactics, decisions and most importantly, desire matter also. You fit play 8 defenders and still lose woefully |

Joebie:This midfield palaver is a mystery. What exactly is the problem? Ever since Mikel said Onazi retired, we have been struggling with our midfield. Everybody knows we have midfield problem, still the problem persists - coach after coach, still same problem. I don tire. Chrisantus oo, still, Akinsanmiro, still. I really don't understand. |

Game day! Optimistic of a good result. Expect a tactically disciplined and wily Tunisian team but our individual superiority should help us carry the day God willing. Let's go Super Eagles! |

Mujtahida:In my humble opinion, it's due to a lack of imagination from our coaches. They are ready to die on the hill of Iwobi-Ndidi-Onyeka no matter how inconsistent their results often are. |

Nigeria vs Tunisia has always been cagey, 1-0, 1-1, so who scores first matters, don’t expect goals. But I don’t know I have this feeling we might be pleasantly surprised with a Nigeria 3-0 win. |

Odunayaw:For a lot of people I’m sure this is not true. Nigeria hardly presses like we saw with SA when they’re losing. |

NasirIbnLaAhad:By the time we get a solid midfield, we will start lacking in other departments. |

JohnBullMySon:You forget SA had numerical advantage — scenario we've not had, for you to compare what we will do? A dissimilar case in AFCON 21 where we were the one down with 10 men and still put up a spirited fight, did mockers not mock? It is very true that if we were the one with 11 men and ended up losing yesterday no one will be patting the boys for "pressing" or "intensity" |

Odunayaw:South Africa was still dominant before the red card. A lot of us complain because the general gameplay of the SE tends to be unimpressive. Given the amount of talent we have it should not be like that. If you’re the one pressing, your chances of winning the game is much higher. Losing is rare. That’s why SA went 27 games unbeaten. You’re trying to gaslight us chief. Even against Tanzania, the midfield played too light. Always trying to play long passes into attack. While I’m a fan of quick transition, you cannot be playing underdog strategy against a weak team like Tanzania. How can you build team cohesion when you don’t play to dominate weak teams? |

JohnBullMySon:SA was dominant before the card? Anyway you're entitled to your opinion. Saying that people on here would care about "pressing" more than the fact the team played over 40 mins against 10 men without scoring is politician level disingenuous please. Try another thing |
