You savi jo

He even has the potential to surpass Enyeama if he keeps his head down

People are underrating that guy

Nwabali as our undisputed no 1 is a hill I'm willing to die on
Yeah, people underrate him mostly because he plays in South Africa..
But Nwabali is currently better than any of our current Goal keeping options

i really wanna see how their defender will stop Osimhen,Akor and Lookman🤣🤣 at the same time stopping Iwobi and Fred Onyedika…..The Moroccan team is all about running running running…That was exactly how we calmed Algeria…Cameroon biggest mistake was playing same run run run football with morocco…Did you guys even notice how sharp we looked with our 1/2 pass in short spaces…this Moroccans go run tire that day…they will so chase shadow

what are they playing that they cannot be crushed at home….guy a [b]clean technical team will take them to the cleaners[/B]…your problem is you think super eagles is not technical enough to sweep them…
Morocco 1- 0 Tanzania
Morocco 1-1 Mali(a game the 10men eagles of Mali took to them and they started defending)
You see with this their past results, they will suffer a stiffer test from the super eagles.
Even if we beat them you will still be nurturing fear against next opponents….omo na wa for your pessimism ooo…is it until Nigeria face Djibouti before you will have courage that we can beat a team?
You said it all... Clean technical team = SE.

As long as Osimhen is Playing and Bassey is at the back, then we have what they dont have...

We killing them... 2-0 is good...

Most definitely not.

Make no mistakes about it..
They will try to rush us as they did Cameroon
The difference is, if they do that, they'll be playing right into our game plan, leaving gaps for our forwards to exploit..
If Lookman keeps a cool head, I'm seeing him getting 3-4 Goals/Assists

People are ignoring the fact that we only had to raise our game a little bit against Algeria..
In all our other games, we didn't leave the first gear and we won convincingly..
No favoritism, no referee help, nothing..

This team has so much left in the tank
And the Atlas Lions will find out tomorrow just how good we are..

I see us beating them still without leaving the first gear..
I'm also excited that Onyedika will be starting
He's also press resistant and a very good passer..

I honestly do not see us losing
We just have to be clinical and take our chances, because we will have lots of chances tomorrow

Yes and no..
Yes.. because the whole world, and CAF expect Morocco to win and would bend rules to favour them. So in that sense, a win would be classed as an upset..

No.. because both teams are tier 1 African teams, more or less on same level in terms of ability and potential
So a win in this case wouldn't be an upset

Your last point is gbam👍
I too relax with this Morocco game ajeh…they will see a repeat of what France did to them at the world cup(Technicality Iwobi/Onyedika + Physicality Osimhen/Bassey)…we are not Spain that will come and be playing tiki taka from beginning to end that will make dem sit back and defend….pumping crosses into that their box 18,will sha have Osimhen keeping all of them jittery at the back

That Osimhen factor is a big cheat code!
I'm even happier he scored in the last game and Lookman didn't..
Because they will focus more on him and less on Lookman
This should give Lookman opportunities to kill them
I just pray him brain no touch tomorrow

💥 Suleiman Sani to RB Leipzig - DONE DEAL ✔️

The 19 y/o talented winger from AS Trencin is already in Leipzig for his medical. The fixed transfer fee is just over €5 million, rising to a €6 million package including achievable bonuses.

He will sign a long-term contract today.
At this stage, no loan move is planned.

Troost Ekong went on BBC to reveal in depth most of Nigerias game plan, as well as Osimhen’s positioning while anticipating flank crosses without talking about the Moroccan game plan
SMH
Onyeka, Adams, Onyedika & the wing backs will have to be extra creative in this game
Dont be surprised if all the supplies are cut off from Iwobi
That trump card could be shut out
If Morocco plays 2 DM’s with big Amrabat on the field we should just be ready for an ultra hard game
What if they press or man mark Iwobi
Thé Mauritanien référée is a bad sign
Why didn’t CAF pick Eastern or Southern African ref

Depenion how you choose to look at it.

If we're talking strictly based on what they've done so far in the AFCON, and for people watching the tournament closely, it's not an upset. We're the team to beat right now.

But if we're talking from a global perspective, form, achievements and statistics in the past couple of years, and in the eyes of most fans outside Africa, its a major upset and a statement win. Majority of football fans, especially non-african fans have largely written us off after our WC qualifying campaign.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by minfelix(m): 10:12am On Jan 13
Teams Morocco cannot beat at this Afcon is Senegal,Nigeria and Algeria…you dey play Tanzania and Mali dey shake for front of your Fans🤣….we all know that Cameroon is not that good at this years Afcon…go and watch all cameroon group matches..trailing 1-0 to Mozambique, it took Mozambique an own goal for Cameroon to equalize and win, struggling to beat Gabon 1-0…same Gabon that took a 2-0 lead against CIV before they collapse…see na from group stage we dey know teams wey no sabi for this afcon…even the SA that was struggling with their cosafa brothers(Angola and Zimbabwe) was already a sign that they were not good…if this afcon was a league format the table would have looked like this
Nigeria
Senegal
Morocco
Algeria
and the rest follow

No team will give Lookman opportunities cuz they know him very well,his Afcon stats is here,just check it out,best player so far.....all we need is getting our tactics right,the issue here you can't pocket Osimhen and Akor for 90 minutes

Lolll

Lookman sef na big game player

He did it on a much bigger stage - the Europa league final

He knows the importance of this match

That's how leverkusen were unbeaten till that final

Make them no worry. I predict Morocco to go through because they have home advantage (if you know what I mean 😉)

I think we beat Senegal
My fear is Egypt, if they get to the final
Sentiments attached, so he can just get it oit the way because he’s almost 34
I doubt CAF won’t do everything possible for Salah to win an Afcon for his legacy sake just like Messi with the World Cup
Every 50/50 duel would be given to Egypt if they get to the final
I mean how would Salah lose 3 finals

Senegal will find it difficult to beat this eagles they could be vulnerable at the back. And remember their path to the semifinals has been one of the easiest playing Sudan and Mali at the knockout stages to get to where they are.

Can't find it anywhere online. Hopefully it was taken down or something. But by God, wtf is wrong this guy?! If I talk now, e go be like say I dey disrespectful. First he sabotaged us during the WC qualifiers with his gaffes and own goals, now this!

Finally a player who will permanently retire Simon Moses after this AFCON, this is surely the best career trajectory for one of our U20 players
Simon don become baba already,him boy na Benjamin Frederick and also instrumental to signing of Sani Sulaiman by AS Trencin, remember Simon started his euro career with Trencin....Simon Moses na strong member of Ejuke, Awaziem,Sadiq, Frederick, Awoniyi, Sanusi,and Akor Dem be northern block guys in eagles
