Ohhh lord! So you mean you are on this thread and you don't know that the petition is yet to be determined by FIFA? Even with all the information we dish out on this thread? Just today charlesemeka85 who is working underground for my client to be in America, posted a YouTube link addressing the stage by stage process FIFA adopts in such matters.

I already verified, I withdraw my comment.

Kog45:
This game and you didn't examine him in previous games about his transition and how many players did you give critical analysis like this so far in this tournament,funny you said his deficiency showed more than his good work.... Oga thegoodjoe your comment on him is general not on this game..... remember your word sabotage which you later turned to sabotage play and sabotage team,now a player with two MOTM and good assists is a player you judged today and you came out with "his deficiency is more than his good work,haba,make we dey encourage these boys.

I think the problem is your perspective of what you think I mean. I am always about how we can improve. With faster transitions, we would annihilate teams with more efficiency. A lot of it lies in Lookman. If he fixes this, he will excel at a high level.

Today, we saw Osimhen choose to lay the ball for Adams instead of going for goal. Wanting Lookman to be efficient at such is not a bad thing.

Algeria didn't come to play football one bit. They were here for tricks. The PTSD if 2019 frrekick goal made many Nigerians overrate Algeria. But that was 6years ago and since then weve added muscle. They changed their formation 6times but could not breathe for the pressure sustained by Nigeria. That was unique. They could not catch a break or get some minutes to dominate any zone despite the poor distribution by Nwabali at some point in the game.

This ref was down on business and he knew they'll bring child play and he didn't disappoint. North African teams should end such history an play actual football. Egypt have left that nonsense behind sef.

Shameful it took Nigeria to remind us all that there's no active goalline tech in Afcon. Big shame.

Akor and Calvin recreating JJ dance at afcon was sweet. I however would love if they can recreate their own that a future set of SE players will recreate too one day.

The yellow cards we have are mostly from non tackles and most time wasting. Now Ndidi will miss Morocco match. I think that triggered the removal of Onyeka as well cos he will now play the Ndidi role vs Morocco. He's up to the task. He did it in the last AFCON. Osayi got even better.

Fantastic display by this resolute team.

Both gidigbo under Jpes and Sleek Football under Chelle, we have the personnel for it. Chelle making that RW absent was a bold move that paid off. I wished Chuks came on or Ejuke in the 2nd half. Both will be key subs vs Morocco IMO.

Why you so so worried🎶🎵

Nigeria is knocking out north African teams like they are collecting infinity stones

We beat Libya 3-0 while sleeping at the airport in the qualification if you remember all the fiasco they put up

We beat Tunisia.... putting three past them after not conceding through out their world cup qualifiers

And now Algeria... taking revenge for knocking us out in 2019

Next on our hitlist is Morocco......

My advice for them is to PRAY!!

I like this .. They better really pray..😭😭

I still think that BDR awarded to Cannavaro should be recalled and they should give it to Bassey.

onyedika will be a better replacement for Ndidi to be honest and his performance will peak even more better than Ndidi's

I think so, too.

This may be like last AFCON where Ndidi’s injury brought Onyeka to forefront

Since Emerse Fae took over this team, Ivory Coast have become fond of scoring heartbreaking goals at the dying second to upset their opponents. Will Egypt bottle this lead?
