TheGoodJoe:
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insists that formations “are nothing more than phone numbers”.

The implication is that his players move from their positions so much that the stated formation they start in does not in fact matter. The players are so rarely in that shape that there is barely any need to name the formation.

You're right

Why is caf appointing the same referee that officiated Morocco's last game with Cameroon to officiate our match as well??

Is it that there is a drought of referees in the competition that would warrant Dahane Beida to officiate a Moroccan game b2b

Like his last performance was even so bias. God help Us

I think what the super eagles need to do is to petition CAF concerning this match officials because morocco petitioned to change the match officials for their game against cameeron and they were successful with their petition

I see no reason why Nigeria can't do the same thing, especially now that we are 2 days away 🤷‍♂️

I dont know if anyone here has watched this Osimhen clip (caught it as a Youtube "Short" clip).

Victor Osimhen Post-AlgeriaGame ahead of Morocco Semis.

Listen to his reference to one of Chelle's thoughts again:

Meanwhile.... ahead of Wednesday's Giants Battle. I stumbled on this via Amazon Prime Video Sport. It is nostalgic but it captures one thing: "Nigeria's Mental Might before a Big Game"

while watching the clip did u notice that Bassey moves and carry himself like prime Taribo west?😊🤣

This is why we should not 100 percent ignore npfl players. Apart from sani Suleiman, the guy that just moved from austria to turkey (nwaigu or so) is also an npfl player. Even akinsanmiro played briefly for remo stars.

The truth of the matter is, Ndidi provides essential midfield stability, leadership, and defensive work rate for us...
So I believe his absence is really a major blow for us.
Coach Chelliolla may shift to a double pivot with Frank Onyeka and Raphael Onyedika, freeing Alex Iwobi higher up, while Victor Osimhen as usual, takes the armband... Our forwards would really need to take their chances..

Like I have said. Ndidi's absence is a blessing in disguise. He is just sitting this one out so that he will be available for the finals.
Also Osimhen as captain will be cool headed

NFF must petition CAF to change the centre referee assigned to oversee the Nigeria Vs Morocco game.
He is very controversial.
Our last AFCON finals against the Ivory Coast is a testament that he is compromised.
NFF must act fast.
The time is now.

Morocco’s national team has not lost a home match in official competition in more than a decade. According to available statistics, their last official home defeat was on 14 November 2009, when they lost 0–2 to Cameroon in a World Cup qualifying match. Since then the Atlas Lions have remained unbeaten at home in official games for about 16 years, with numerous wins and draws on home soil.

I'll be very honest.

Anything short of an AFCON trophy is absolute failure. Having the most silver/bronze medals isn't something to brag about. We have been here so many times before but have fallen short. It's time to seal the deal and get it done.

Osimhen Motivation is key to our AFCON trophy. He needs to ginger the boys. He is a high spirit guy who thrives in such antics by Morroco.

When I said the 2025 U20 Class will give us Super Eagles materials within 2yrs+ or so, some thought I was just talking. Sani Suleiman is coming. And a few more will come.

Akor Adams and Igoh Ogbu came from the U20 Class of 2019.

The only way Morocco will defeat Nigeria is if Nigeria get a straight red card or dubious penalty awarded. A red card can destabilize the team , the coach should tell the players to calm down especially defenders. Avoid unnecessary tackle inside 18 and edge of 18. Morocco defeated Cameroon through set pieces . We need to defend well and take our chances in the first half . I see 3 goals to 1 in favour of Nigeria
