don’t be surprised that Nigeria may be compensated with qualifying for the World Cup ahead of DRC

My thought though 👊😊

Spainever:
The coach gave Morocco the Victory. The same thing happen in 2023 final our coach gave Ivory coast victory due to tactical level. We don't have much money to hire Grade A coach , make we dey manage Cheille dey go . He don try

TheSuperNerd:
We pressed them, but withdrew as the ref had it for us. It is simple. The bassey yellow was a turning point.

TheGoodJoe:
When we met Spain in France 98, I remember the statement, Are you scared of Spain? Bora replied, Spain should be scared of us.

If I remember well, Spain had Raul, Morientes, Luis Enrique, Alphonso, Sergi, Hierro, Etxeberria, Zubizaretta and a host of stars.

Men we gave them hell. To the point they lost it. We played with fire.

I prefer we go for glory than lose than play as a chicken, hoping for luck to win.

Papi85:
behind the scene that man single handedly qualified SA for the World Cup. He played a major role to achieve that

Our NFF help am too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Papi85:
If this afcon was hosted outside of Morocco I bet you that they highest they can get is the second round or quarter finals

minfelix:
The surest way to win afcon is if the afcon knockout stage(quarterfinals/Semifinal) is crowded by less fancied opponets causing upsets on big boys in the previous stage …
maybe like SA removing Morocco to enter the quarterfinals and Benin removing senegal to reach Semifinals and Mali beating Egypt to meet Nigeria at the final….super eagles over the years till date is not looking like a team that can win a final against powerhouse..
Vs Senegal
Vs Morocco
Vs CIV
Vs Ghana
Vs Cameroon
Vs Algeria

make luck just help us align 2027 Afcon knockout stage in this way:👇🏽
Nigeria Vs a lesser opponent (R16) maybe B/faso
Nigeria Vs a Stronger rival (quarterfinals) maybe Egypt
Nigeria Vs a lesser underdog who just made an upset(Semifinal) maybe Capeverde
Nigeria Vs a lesser opponent (Final) South Africa or Zambia

Motsepe is a billionaire bringing all those dirty boardroom tactics into football. Mhen it’s terrible

Goke7:
If SA host Afcon under his watch dem go win wella 😂 e go be like AI

Mujtahida:
Go and watch the penalty Ajayi played against DRC. It was lame. Nobody blamed him. Omeruo was cool. Chukwueze was laughing or rather had this irritating smirk on his face. Their approach is not the same. Thats why the result is different.

forgiveness:
Sat back ke? You sure say you watched de match?

Goke7:
Won’t be surprised if he’s loading our nff with cash especially with the way Amaju keeps frolicking around

Blueelf:
Look at this screenshot.

The same question i asked thesupernerd

The same thing the Moroccan coach noticed and we were knocked out

Hope it's very obvious now. Chelle had jo answer to this

The Super Eagles were too obvious in their tactics

TheGoodJoe:
When we met Argentina in Atlanta Argentina has Ariel Ortega, one of the best dribbling attackers to grace football. Hernan Crespo was a World Star. Claudio Lopez was a super star of the series a. I think Gallardo was also there. Javier Zanetti and a host of stars. We played them with guts and bravery.

I prefer we give them hell and lose than play like a chicken and hope to win. I have never known Nigeria for fear. How it is has become a norm baffles me.

TheSuperNerd:
At France 98 vs Spain, the ref was not Dan Laryea.

las las i will blame it on ill-luck that the keeper read his direction….walai if that ball score…nobody go remember wether he dey chew gum or smile to take that penalty…if Bono had gone the wrong way, na sweet placing all of us for call am…

i will say it again…Omeruo played a very whack penalty that year against SA…if Keeper had caught the ball, forgetiiiii!!! no b nairaland and 9ja fans wey we know?….baba dem go cook Omeruo wetin no good🤣🤣

Mujtahida:
We didn't play like a chicken. It was an even game. That's why it got to penalties. You speak as if we were camped in our own half and Morocco won 3-0.

We played with courage. Yes we did.

“Don’t come to the Super Eagles if you’re not ready to give everything for the nation. If the NFF delays your payment, let it go. Social media has distracted you all, and the praise got to your heads. When Argentina were preparing to play us four days before, none of their… pic.twitter.com/MWqCeqINRv

Men, this video broke my heart. Bovi, take heart.

For real, anyone not seeing playing for Nigeria as a fight to death thing should stay clear. Enough of this chicken football.

TheGoodJoe:
Because they were direct with their play. Look at the shots. It will tell you the whole story.

BankyGee:
I swear 😂

Or maybe he dey talk about us wey watch the match, because I'm very sure none of us watched the match while standing 😂

TheGoodJoe:
My problem is not what Morocco did when we had the ball, but what we did when Morocco held the ball. We chickened out.

Mujtahida:
It's rubbish talk. Even soldiers facing real battles mutiny because of their money.

We should pay our players. We cannot disrespect our football by serially owing players and expect the players to die on the pitch. They should come and die on the pitch because of football and the administrators and the government keep doing the same thing.

E easy to talk. Can you work without being paid? That's why Kog45 said you are theoretical.

The players should be praised and encouraged.

Pay them. Don't gaslight them with this stupid, senseless talk about dying on pitch.

TheSuperNerd:
Chelle did try to respond. When Akor was not seeing the ball, he went wingwards to receive. Nigeia did try to get on the front foot in that second half but everytime we did, the Ghanaian ref intervened with treacherous calls. Even the commentators twice asked what the foul call is for because they dont see anything.

There was even a call for a non existent throw in after Bruno won the ball. Laryea of Ghana kept messing up our plays.

Anyone can say passing lanes were cut but not everyone noticed that we did try to get around that challenge but were stopped by the ref nearly every time.

semid4lyfe:
I disagree.

Ater the Q/F performance against Algeria, I fancied our team's chances against every team except Morocco.

Morocco or Senegal , whoever may win it are not better than us.

You'd only appreciate how well we played when you see the way Morocco will defeat Senegal in the final
