Calvin Bassey plays central defense like it’s a free role. classy Center Back entering his prime. He’s going to get even better. Anticipation, pace, power, aerial dominance, passing. He’s got the assets . Frightening potential

TheGoodJoe:
How can I be biased when I genuinely believe Lookman can even excel more? I am pointing out a place where he can even do better than how well he has done.

I used to be very vocal about Osimhen not using space and hammered on it repeatedly. Later he fixed that issue and won the league and golden boot in Italy.

That can't be classed as negative bias.

Won 2-0 yesterday. I have no doubt in my mind we could do far more than that. Same with Lookman.

Constructive criticism is not negative bias.

DrYa:
O boy...

I am just so so happy....

I have been basking in the euphoria of this victory all through the night....

Super Eagles you give me Joy...thanks for your hardwork, everyone of them with no exception.
All flaws are forgiven...

Eric Chelle... May you never walk alone, may your ways be smooth and easy, my God bless you for turning super eagles into barca

Mujtahida:
At least Amunike won u-17 and discovered Osimhen and Chukwueze, Eguavoen gave Lookman and Bassey their first caps, Oliseh gave Iwobi his first cap but Finidi was really poor (and it pains me cos I like him)

Clint02:
All four semifinalists at #AFCON2025 are coached by African coaches.

Egypt - 🇪🇬 Hossam Hassan
Senegal - 🇸🇳 Pape Thiaw
Morocco - 🇲🇦 Walid Regragui
Nigeria - 🇲🇱 Éric Chelle

Goke7:
Both him and Iwobi Fulham could have a problem by the end of the season to hold on to them especially if they win Afcon

Kog45:
Oga I don end the matter

Kog45:
Yea winning Afcon should be a plus,their epl performance be Koko, they're not newbies,Calvin is moving next season for sure,Iwobi too if he is willing to move out of EPL cuz am not seeing top EPL clubs going for him.

Blueelf:
Naija booys after this AFCON should please avoid Italian clubs

JayromWrites:
An Inter Milan for Calvin Bassey wouldn't be bad

The super eagles may likely experience the worst officiating in the game against Morroco. The current CAF president is so corrupt and this afcon has witnessed the highest level of corruption in afcon history.

The level of favour on Morroco is just too much. I don't know why every host nation must win afcon under this current CAF president. He almost did same against super falcons but God intervened.

Nigeria is playing against CAF president, Morroco nation, Morroco players, the Ref and his linesmen. Only God will prevail on Wednesday.

Get ready to see cheap free kicks, fouls, penalty etc in favour of Morroco. VAR will used for fouls against Nigeria but will not be used against Morroco.

This one na over do o! 😂 make this reporter no try am against Morocco dem go remove im teeth 😂

This trolling no nice o.

Theflint1:
Yet to see Victor Osimhen in any of the post game celebration clips... Abi e vanish after match finish?

andrewbaba44:
Call lookman your best player at this afcon so far ,call osimhen your best player ,call Brahim diaz your best player which is all good

But the best player at this afcon so far is Alexander iwobi

Gentlemen, ladies, thank you all for your patience.

Given the joy the super eagles have delivered so far, it become imperative to ensure that this award is finalised by the end of the AFCON tournament. Regardless of whether we win it or not, I'm sure the majority of us will agree that our national teams have done well last year and this year...

On this note, we will proceed to selection of committee members.
In the past, committee members were selected by popular vote where every member of the thread nominated the moniker he/she felt was deserving of the post based on their football knowledge and passion for our national teams. But the problem is that, most people who are nominated end up not showing up due to one commitment or the other.
As a result, we will be going with the option employed last year where only Volunteers will make up the committee.

The process is simple: if you are interested in being part of the nomination committee, quote this post with "interested". Other monikers can go ahead and like your post if they feel you're deserving of the post. The top 6 monikers with the post likes will join Icon4s (honourary member) who is the founding father of the award and myself to bring the total number of committee members to 8.

The selection process is open starting now until 6pm on Wednesday, 14th January, 2026.

Thank you.

PS: Being member of the nomination committee is totally voluntarily...there is no monetary benefit or any other incentive attached to it.
