Nwabali saving from Egypt's 2 top players na flex abeg.

In Penalty shootouts, I have NEVER SEEN NWABALI NOT SAVE PENALTIES. IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED.

This meme is killing me.

PDPGuy:
Hmm

Maybe those conspiracy theories about Naija throwing away the Morocco game in exchange for the WCQ playoff spot might be facts 🤣

COOL10:
Words can't describe how happy I am. Not because we took third but because of Nwabali's saves and Iwobi and Lookman's confidence despite everything the Egyptian goalkeeper did to upset them.

I especially loved how Iwobi smiled, did the sign of the cross and then took the shot. Incredible!!! 💥💥💥💥💥

Goke7:
Me too I don’t want any yeye bronze again

minfelix:
Use your striking options yo play penalty, u carry defenders and skillful wingers dey play penalty….even against DRC, i was expecting
Lookman
Akor
Iwobi
Osimhen (Though injured)
Ndidi
to take penalties…..
one more thing i observed, our penalties are catchable if keepers dive towards the ball…our boys should learn to play those classy European/South American style penalties…all this grass ball will always put us in trouble…..
we are just blaming Chukwueze, calm down and watch Iwobi,Simon penalties, they should just thank God the keeper did not their direction.

Now see the kinda penalty that Egypt guy played that beat Nwabali, despite following the ball…you can me never catch those types

Only Lookman played the best Penalty this night

On a more playful note, we need to shelve the white jersey for now. Na the green jersey dey give us good luck.

Goke7:
I think we had a jersey that was crafted to be white but looked green almost over. We may need to bring back that jersey again though I don’t like to be superstitious but something has been done before and we can again

caprikon:
PKs is a psychological game.

If the played PKs against Maroc in a neutral venue, we could have won.

Surprised though the Moroccan fans were famzing Nigeria.

Samueltemi337:
Nigeria vs Jamaica
He didn't save any

Kog45:
How we come won...off player played it over the bar or sideways na save

AndSunGorilla:

And Bono is a monster when it comes to penalties.

lbrichman2:
Didn't we win the Unity Cup with the white jersey?

Goke7:

lbrichman2:
Na spoon?

BigManDesigns1:
God bless you for stating the facts... As far as I'm concerned, if bono had dived in the opposite direction, chukwueze's pk would have been considered a very good one. In fact, Alex and Simon were even more non chalant with theirs
