Mujtahida:
You are hitting your head against your own imagination.

A thing can happen where a man is reprimanded. However beyond a certain point, it starts looking like malicious attack. You beat a child with your right hand, you draw him close with your left hand.

Osimhen is our golden egg. Whether you guys like it or not. He's human. He erred. Not out of a selfish desire for self aggrandizement but due to his desire to win.

I saw many ungrateful, entitled Nigerians saying that what has he done sef. Gosshhhh I detest black people. That's why this race is one of the most backwardest race in the world. Stupid, ungrateful race. It never appreciates anything and that is why it never progresses because ingratitude is a stumbling block and the most ungrateful race is the black race.

Osimhen fa? Someone that was almost ready to die for us to qualify for the world cup. Look at that goal against Benin when he dipped his head right in front of the boot of the Beninoise defender. Do you know how many screws that young man has in his face? Yet today, just because of an on-field outburst, Nigerians say he's done nothing.

See them, people who are being raped by politicians daily and they offer no single resistance forming self righteous prudes condemning another man who is striving to bring honor to the country.

What he did is bad. Our condemnation must be measured and marked by grace rather than this rashness I see you spewing.

so in all this you have said now, your point is we africans should be a**lickers to a player becos he is a messiah to the team.

See make i tell you, i so appreciate Osimhen im super eagles than any other player…but if he F up in his conduct, we go talk…and anybody that tries to push it on our faces that life after Osimhen is de@th then i will face the person and tell the person GTH…..a time will come he will no longer be a super eagles player, will super eagles now fold up?……my own is people should not go overboard insulting and blasting him, while does fanning his ego should not go overboard to do it(people coming to tell us that Osimhen should retire and leave afcon) is that not a slap to fans and Nigeria at large?

even Morocco sef is not a stiff test…remove the fact they are the host, i no see dey difference between them and Tunisia…what is making morocco a tougher test is their 12th and 13th man on the pitch

So what is it about Algeria that makes them a "stiffer" test than Morocco apart from their fast wingers? Their defense is not better than Congo or even Egypt. They faced poor teams in their group. Our group was tougher than theirs. Plus the very first strong opponent they faced dragged them to extra time and would have beaten them if they were more clinical. Algeria haven't faced an attack like ours yet in this tournament. They will surely concede against us.

To me, all the North African teams in this tournament dey the same WhatsApp group. The reason people are hyping Algeria is because they've exceeded expectations.

Many people online were predicting they'll not perform well because of their last AFCON outing where they lost to Mauritania, as well as the fact that their squad is on the aging side. So their performance so far is impressive given the context.

But they're not miles better than Morocco or Tunisia.

Oh thanks, and the report was saying Midfielder

The statement of them beating DRC who is a stronger opponent in Round 16 is an eyebrow raiser that they will provide a tougher test than Tunisia….many people even said that DRC vs Algeria came so early as a fixture in this afcon..

They beat DRC because DRC attack was shiitty. Benin pressed this same DRC in their first game so I'm not sipping the DRC kool-aid with you. I'm confident we'll score against them.

This will be a game of who can outscore who because we'll score and we might also likely concede. Although I have to note that our defense has looked slightly better in this knockout stage than during the group stage. Mozambique attack is more lethal than Uganda and Tanzania and yet we were able to keep them quiet for the full 90 mins and even almost scored a 5th.

Our group is not tougher than theirs ooo, make we calm down dey defend somethings naaa🤣🤣

Algeria
B/Faso
E/guinea
Sudan


Nigeria
Tunisia
Uganda
Tanzania

Since the start of Afcon being a 24nation tourney in 2019 burkina faso and Equitorial Guinea has been romancing around R16 and Quarterfinals stage, that cant be said of Uganda and Tanzania…the DRC dey even beat has also been a regular on the knockout stage…..

dont get me wrong, my money is 100% on Nigeria beating Algeria….but Algeria will be a hardnut to crack….and again i still trust Nigeria to do a “Germany-Brazil 2014” scoreline on them

Those people hoping that FIFA final verdict on the eligibility of Congolese players, How Far??
Or are you still hoping on NFF to update you guys??
Otilo.

in group stage many of people here sang the praise of DRC a formidable team🤣….now becos Algeria beat them, they are now shitty🤣🤣….remember even the Senegal in their group couldn’t beat them also….

I watched the games from both groups. Equatorial Guinea have been godawful this tournament. Same with Sudan, they only really turned up in the game against Senegal but that was like for the first 10 minutes only before Senegal started pressing oil from their head. I'll give you Burkina Faso only. But even that Burkina Faso, see how they struggled to beat them.

Tanzania on the other hand have exceeded expectations. When we struggled to edge them 2-1, I thought it was a fluke, but after watching them against Tunisia and Morocco, I have to say they really outdid themselves in this tournament. They almost upset Morocco. Tunisia was flying high until we met them. People forget how easily they dominated Uganda in their first game. As for Uganda, they were poor, I agree, but more like Sudan. Not as disappointing as Eq. Guinea.

Any team that scores first, wins the match. Most especially in the 2nd half.

I didn't say they were shitty. I said their attack was shitty. This is how you people misread others in your ignorance and start doubling down on some whole other BS.

Given our low propensity for staging upsets, I have to agree here. This is one aspect where I respect the Super Falcons more than the Super Eagles.

If you don't agree on somethings just ignore. Jump and do eye like say you no see the comment.

And I don't see that game having more than 1 or 3 goals cos both defenses are tightened up. It may end in 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 in anyone's favour.
It will be a tough match with alot of counters against the Nigerian side. Hope out LB and RB are equally to the task.

See club name “Trabzonspor Kulubu”. This one na Fulani club 🤦‍♀️


Former Enyimba International FC defender Chibuike Nwaiwu 🇳🇬 has successfully passed his medical 🩺 with Turkish giants Trabzonspor Kulübü.

The Nigerian centre-back completes his move from AC Wolfsberger of Austria 🇦🇹 to Trabzonspor, marking a significant step forward in his career. Nwaiwu now joins the Karadeniz Fırtınası as he prepares to begin a new chapter in the Turkish Süper Lig 🇹🇷.

We'll have to wait and see. With the way Nigeria has made attacking transitions so far in the tournament, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up running rings around Algeria's defense. It takes only one goal to force them to come out and play. Then again, with the current strike going on in camp, I won't be surprised to see a downgrade in Nigeria's game this Saturday.

Is my name people? Why not focus on what I'm saying instead of bringing other people's opinion into the discussion?

Anyway, it is a fact that DRC were just not clinical against Algeria on that day. If you watched the game, you'll see that. DRC's strength is midfield and defense. They are highly physical and they know how to execute good counters, but their point men aren't always the best. Haven't you noticed that majority of their games tend to be low-scoring games? (1-0, 2-0). If Yaone Wissa had played that Algeria game, don't be surprised DR Congo would win or drag the game to PK at least.

It's not about what people are saying. It's about what happens on the pitch.

semid4lyfe:
Algeria invited the DR Congo Lumumba super fan to their camp.

He was given their home jersey personalized with Lumumba's name and the away jersey with Amoura's name written on it.

Nice and classy gesture at the end from the Algerians.

Am glad to hear this. Thanks to all who condemned Amoura behaviour and shame to those who saw it as ordinary banter. Phew

wins are psychological.
Psychological dominance is key.

Sometimes people who are born winners may be oblivious of the facts that make the win.
Osimhen needs no orientation. He is getting it right in football.

In that particular scene, that goalkeeper was wrong.

Excellent.

Now this is someone who observes patterns of play as it is and not as it should be.

Nigeria's possession game seeks instant damage. It is always and repeatably progressive.

Algeria's possession game is for safety. They do little with it as seen vs DRC where they did not even get a shot off until 77mins.

There are so many analytical points in the writeup that is brilliantly stated and expatiated. This is someone who is truly watching the Afcon.

In the latest FIFA ranking, Tunisia ranks above Burkina Faso, Uganda ranks above Equatorial Guinea and Tanzania ranks above Sudan... so what are you saying??
Since the start of the tournament, before every game, some of you harp on how strong our opponents are, then after we win, you turn around to say it was a weak opponent we faced.. why are you like this??

They are training regularly in Fez where they played the group stage and R-16 matches.

They only refused to travel to Marrakech as scheduled until their allowances and bonuses for the group stage and round of 16 was settled.

Algeria is a damn good team, by my assessment even better than Senegal and I don't feel good about playing them. I hope we win but if results go otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised too.
