Calvin before that final had the 2nd highest number of completed passes (500+) in the tournament. A defender oo.

No take that guy play.

Nigeria will still loose they played better than us
Leave the play better than us, I already know that. I'm talking of the penalty lottery which you're not attributing to luck. So I ask if both teams knows how to play penalty, how will the eventual winner emerge if not by luck

PUNANI01:
leave him alone and face your life.
Maybe Chukwueze should leave our football alone and face Fulham. We got tonnes of capable wingers who can replace him - even in the local league

Sick and tired of all these primadonnas in the national team.

That means your prayer still remains because Calvin bassey will be absent during Nigeria vs Egypt match
Nff suppose to protest that card to caf, they should look into it once again...
That wasnt a card offence, na the morrocan player even fouled him first...

Even that card they gave ndidi during Algeria game, NFF suppose to have protest it to... Ndidi was foul, why give him card for time wasting?

As ndidi no dey that moroccan game, iwobi was doing the work alone, onyedikachi was not visible at all, onyeka tried but ndidi was missing... They deliberately gave that card to him to destroy our midfield.

.. isn't it high time we stop saying penalty is game of luck or anybody's game? It is about who plays it better. Skill is not luck.

If a team wants to win via penalty, they should train better and play it better.
Lol.. Even person wey never kick ball for 90mins go complain.
Even the most skilled players still lose penalties.

Story for the gods.

Chukwueze played rubbish during our last match during world cup qualification. He couldn't even trap ball. He was busy forming big boy and he also missed PK. Exactly what he did on our match against Morocco.

Chukwueze was chewing gum while doing fine boy for Moroccan and Nigeria girls. Dude, chukwueze is notoriously known for always forming big boy and fine boy on the pitch and hence always plays rubbish.

Sometimes, the pressure gets to some even when they were the best during training. Chukwueze kick was just sloppy not really about the miss

Calvin Bassey can help Real Madrid solve their defense problem, only if they have sense.
Gabriel is helping Arsenal

They didn't loose in regulation time

Penalties are luxury it can go anyway

With the experience he had from playing with big clubs in Europe he shouldn't be playing such timid penalty kick at this level is it in four years time that he will mature. Some of them losers are playing in their last afcon if they don't know... Useless player with zero return on experience gained.... To whom much is given much is expected. Missing that penalty after Moroccan player lost his is the undoing of the team. But can you blame him more than that Osimhen who was afraid of playing penalty kicks because of his image. grin

you are a true seer. I refused to watch the match from day one coz I know very well we will not lift the trophy. No need to give myself BP . When we start getting it right in this country , our stars will naturally align with each other. Until then, don't expect much

How many Minister of Defense do we have?

The original one is Yisa Shofoluwe. Late Ernest Okonkwo coined that tribute to him.

Has Shofoluwe been dethroned?

It's like having the Original Ronaldo (Lima) and the current counterfeit - CR7.
That one tenure don end
This is the new one
Re: Calvin Bassey Super Eagles Defender Is Trending Despite Nigeria Semi Final Lose by oaktown101(m): 9:57am On Jan 16
Make Calvin Bassey our minister of defense. He can stop banditry and Boko Haram.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The same ajayi that defended that shot in the first half, Ajadi played to his best.[b][/b]
Ajayi is the one that lose the ball that led to the shot that he blocked
Re: Calvin Bassey Super Eagles Defender Is Trending Despite Nigeria Semi Final Lose by Adakintroy: 10:22am On Jan 16
The guy try. But if defender or keeper wins man of the match know you were not good on that days. You were probably on the Blackfoot. That said we did not learn from Dr congo shoot out. We certain did not do about practice on this one. Lucky we are not going on the world cup. Cuz if we can barely register a shot against morroco, I wonder what we will do against Argentina France, Germany or brazil.

All these they 'should have' is all about the unforgiving heart of a perpetual loser

If you know so well about football, you won't be blaming our side but just CAF alone

Re: Calvin Bassey Super Eagles Defender Is Trending Despite Nigeria Semi Final Lose by Davistan: 5:33pm On Jan 16
Calvin Bassey played a very good active role in that match. He playing as a Central Defender showed he is resilient and ever ready to field in the Super Eagles.
Re: Calvin Bassey Super Eagles Defender Is Trending Despite Nigeria Semi Final Lose by aswani(m): 6:52pm On Jan 16
Calvin Bassey produced a man of the match performance in each game he played in the tournament, clearly the player of the tournament and a top three balon dor performance for this year.

He must be the Nigerian captain moving forward, if you captain is playing that way, who born you not to?

What a player.
