Mujtahida:
The way I like that guy ehn. Frank the Tank

Napoleon55:
My top 5 picks are in this particular order.

1. Lookman
2. Iwobi
3. Osimhen
4. Bassey
5. Akor

But Osimhen may likely end up as the player of the tournament if we win the trophy.

Napoleon55:
Chief Kog45, I actually prefer TheGoodJoe kind of post match take of wanting the players to improve more,more than all these over praising,some sounding overconfident without realizing it.
I don't know how hard he was on Lookman though.

Me I'm reserving my praises of the team till we win this trophy,I no dey for all these talk talk,our team is the best,we are this ,we are that talk.
We need this trophy to validate our status and all these talk.

For now,the players has done very well,even when their play is near perfect,is not bad wanting them to be perfect as we enter the crucial stages of the tournament.

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

forgiveness:
Rest which matter? Most of those players are guilty of what he pointed out but how come he singled out one person? Habamana!!!

Make people no come here dey deceive themselves.

This AFCON tournament has been electrifying from the very beginning—not just because Nigeria is still in the competition, but because of the many beautiful moments of solid football on display. Overall, African football has clearly improved, and AFCON is now starting to look even more interesting than the European Championship.
I don’t know if you guys feel the same way, but that’s honestly how it feels to me.

Ekaabi, diaz, sambaribobo, sb tell me how do we stop these guys? Minfelix, Mujtahida, Goke7, bankygee, mostob una no dey fear?

Mujtahida:
He was tremendous. It was clear that the Algerians intended to play through his wing but he stood firm like a rock of Gibraltar. His forward runs were a delight to see. Above all he was calm and composed.

I've been one if not his fiercest critic but I give him his flowers and I eat humble pie.

minfelix:
Morocco playing poorly against our baby group Team Tanzania and struggling to a 1-1 draw with 10man Mali, them go chop am for our hand…Morocco will not beat this Algerian team i initially took as our first real test…
see ehhn Nigeria should not b far from 1st in Africa…we don’t have business dropping to 3rd in Africa…a team that has played 16 semifinal out of 19 afcons….imagine the number of final we have played…we suppose dey count like 9 to 10 Afcon trophy.
from age grade soccer male and female to senior team to super falcons Nigeria is really a giant…NFF is is really killing us…especially with some kind mumu appointments of coaches over the years
-Berti Vogt🤦🏽‍♀️
-Lar Lagaback
-Finidi George
even this Bruno Labalaba that turned us down sef would have been another white carpenter…..you see attacking minded coaches like the Cape Verdean coach, Eric Chelle, Late Keshi even the DRC coach are the kinda fearless coaches we need

elyte89:
One major thing working in our favor is that opponents are yet to solve the new Eagles approach. We’re creating chances through direct attacks and build-up play rather than our usual wing-based patterns. Hopefully, our next opponent won’t crack the puzzle.

TheSuperNerd:
Bassey the Bull!!! Takes out Boudaoui and assist ref... lol

Odunayaw:
