And we say make our man no vex for pitch 😂 that game yesterday was an opportunity to equal that record. It had 6 or 7-0 written all over it. It can’t get easier than that

Osimhen should also work on his offside traps... He has lost 3 goals to offside in this competition... By now he's supposed to be leading scorer.... And almost catching up with Yekini's record

TheSuperNerd:

Super Eagles Update 🇳🇬 The on-field remonstration between Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman during the match against Mozambique has been addressed internally. All issues have been resolved, and reports suggesting otherwise should be disregarded.

The Super Eagles will hold a recovery session today in Fès. Twenty-six players are expected to train, while injured defender Ryan Alebiosu continues his rehabilitation.

Akor Adams did not leave camp on a long-term basis. He only stepped out briefly to see his parents, who are in Fès and live just a few minutes from the team’s hotel. He returned in under an hour, before lunchtime, and remains with the team. Recall that he mentioned his mother was in the hospital during his post-match interview.

As good as Nigeria has been in this AFCON, we must not get carried away. The truth of the matter is we haven't truly been tested yet. Mozambique were a good side because they were well coached. Their individual talent though was always suspect, and many of us already knew how porous their defense was, so conceding that many goals against Nigeria wasn't that much of a surprise, as delightful as it was to see. I shudder to say this, but our run is starting to look eerily similar to PSG's dominant run last year at the FIFA Club World Cup right before they encountered Chelsea in the finals. God forbid that we share similar fate. This AFCON is a must-win for us, as we don't have a World Cup to participate in (I know the DRC case is still under review, but I'd rather err on the side of caution).

Nigeria should prepare for opponents who might employ Chelsea's blueprint against PSG last year - intense pressing to disrupt our rhythm. Expect aggressive man-to-man pressing in our next couple of games. Eric Chelle need plans to play through or around aggressive pressing. Don't rely solely on overwhelming opponents. Majority of the "minnows" in quote, have been knocked out. It's mostly the big dogs now. As the tournament progresses into semifinals and finals, teams will be more evenly matched. While our attack is excellent - and by far the best in this tournament, we need to maintain a compact defense. I'm happy that Bruno and Osayi seem to playing better, but truthfully neither have really been tested. Plus many coaches have seen enough of our games in this AFCON to study our pattern. For instance, you'll notice that Iwobi always falls deep to get an accurate picture of the game, before slotting in those insane low ball crosses into the opponents half. An intelligent coach will find a way to neutralize him. Chelle must be prepared for opponents who study his patterns.

Dominance in earlier rounds means nothing if you can't adapt when a well-prepared opponent disrupts your gameplan. My fear is that Eric Chelle is a proactive coach, but not that good at reacting in-game. I believe he said it himself that he prefers to impose his own style on the players. He knows how to setup a team and deploy personnel to carry out his plans, but when those plans go south, how often has he reacted well? Most of the time, he overthinks and ruins things for himself. I just hope he's learnt his lessons from the World Cup playoffs.

Your write up is good, but....I am yet to see a side left in this competition that we will struggle against...or is Argentina or Spain playing in this AFCON?

Odunayaw:
Like Fivefootninja said, whoever wins should win after serious labours. Hopefully to the point of PKs

If DRC wins the better for us cos I don’t think that team can repeat what they did against us. I’m somewhat confident Nigeria can beat them this time around.

If na Algeria HMMM…

Cocony:
Check 2006 AFCON. That was the first time.

That win over Tunisia in the 2006 quarterfinals is actually classified as a draw, because the game was decided via penalty shootout.

Algeria seeing more of the ball so far. No bite though. At least not yet.

AndSunGorilla:
He still has many years left now. Too many opportunities to set a record that would last for a very long time.
But if they can get Azizat Oshoala to camp, maybe that can help e be like say she knows how to calm him down on Twitter. Remember the tweet after the Tunisia game .

You be badt boy 😂 but this your advice fit work you know 😂

But seriously e no easy to break any record o so if easy opportunity come na to take am sharp sharp

He score abi e no score yesterday? Brace o in case you forgot cos it’s only the tantrums most people saw!

Neither of the teams are looking threatening so far, in my humble opinion.

It’s a cagey game so far no giveaway from either side yet

This game might go all the way to extra time. Both teams are well versed tactically

Oh yes. One person can really do so much "fights"

Fight CIV (Afcon - Penalty)
Fight Benin (WCQs - Hattrick)
Fight Rwanda (WCQs - Brace)
Fight SA (Afcon - Penalty)
Fight Cameroon (Afcon - Bullied them all game)
Fight Zimbabwe (WCQs)
Fight Whole team for sleeping on Zim Equaliser.
Fight... Fight... Fight....

He is indeed a Fighter.

Happy OGN Reading.

Congo ain’t easy make I no lie! Algeria will sweat all through to win this

Cedric bakambu na beta idiot sha cos why can’t you square that pass

How did we allow this DRC to dominate and knock us out of World Cup qualifiers? They are a very poor side.

This Algerian side is underated.. Please let's play Congo

This same Congo poor? Must be another game am watching

He Dey watch pes for YT

BankyGee:
Why we dey always create funny memes at 3–0? 😂

That's because it is Game over at 3:0

Goke7:

I prefer Congo sha cause we will want to prove a point against them. Algeria are even looking better than Morocco in my opinion but our attack should give them serious problems

DR Congo don't really have much threat going forward but they're defensively compact. If they win, we'll get the most lethal attacking side vs the most disciplined defense so far. An unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.

We also dominated early against them. Senegal did too before they grew into the game in both matches

Goke7:

Yes they are very poor. They are defending hard but they can’t string 3-5 good passes together. You’ve forgotten how they outplayed us. I can’t see same performance from them in this match.

Kilishihunter:

Nigeria has grown to making good teams look tame in the competition. They just need to keep this up and not panic when things do not go their way.

JohnBullMySon:

This Algerians are not playing o, so far at least. I think I prefer facing Congo for now. Our offence of course is deadly but we have some weaknesses in our defense.

Coach Chelle, bench Osimhen and start Lookman, Adams, and any other striker in our next game. I want to check something.

This referee is soft sha...
If it was some other referee we have seen so far, there would have been at least 3 bookings so far...
The Congolese are very physical

Algeria being too "over" careful. 35mins played. Zero shots of any kind. DRC with 3 shots overall and 1 on target.

Well said Dr., I agree with you, great player and a born winner. I rest my case.

It’s better we play Algeria those Congolese won’t be scared of us at all psychologically! And on the physical side too Algeria is preferable to the akpu Congo players dem go just use body jam us everywhere
