Hmmmm....it will be difficult, except through the lottery of penalties.
It will be easy for Senegal, though CAF want to compensate Morocco for hosting almost AFRICA CUPS both male and female categories with the Morocco 2025 Africa cup of nations

Naija defence don good now well well, thanks to Chelle. Benjamin Frederick is better than igoh and will pair bassey normal normal. Than there is aina.
Defence is more than not conceding

Our defenders cannot bring the ball out and transition to attack
It is just sideways passes and back pass to goal keeper
To some extent that is because we don't have midfielders that can hold the ball under pressure
The game against Morocco showed our weaknesses
We should limit the use of players who are not made in Nigeria

There is always a different mentality in those players born and developed in Europe

The problem remains
How do we develop a Nigerian league with Nigerian coaches and players home grown

The last time we won AFCON we used a Nigerian coach and the likes of Sunday Mbah of Warri Wolves

Let us forget about winning and go back to the basics
Nigerian league
Nigerian coaches
Made in Nigeria players

Morocco was the better team yet they couldn't bear Nigeria in regulation time and extra time. No team was a better one in that match. Penalties are like luck meant to separate two equal sides
Dey play! The Morrocans outplayed the Nigerian side to the point that Nigerians had two shots on target for 120 minutes.

What saved the Super Eagles was a good defence and goalkeeper. Those guys totally dominated the game and the better side won.

I beg to disagree....it won't be an easy game.

The morrocans will do to Senegal what they did to Cameroon and Nigeria: boss the game.

But I feel the Senegalese will be no pushovers.

What is a football team without discipline?

Isnt that the main ingredient of a football team? one of the reason we could beat morocco.

Abeg we need a better tactician. Chelle has reached his peak
Lol... Who is the better tactician?!!

Chelle is the best coach you guys have had since Stephen Keshi of blessed memory.


Abi na Mourinho or Klopp you wan employ?!!

His team didn't lose in open play... They were merely unlucky with the spot kicks.


When was the last time a coach delivered such quality for this nation?!!


He just needs better scouting towards the future.

It's like 3rd place is our birthright. When we get there, we win.

This is a record 9th times winning the third place at the AFCON.

Baba that guy no lie o, coach need to play more games and learn more, against morocco him no make better changes hence we lost but last last na something
I don't think there's any coach without flours
But see that Morocco game you can't use that alone to judge the coach

Check his statistics since he took over Nigeria
Check this AFCON
Till today we NEVER lost a single game at regulation time

Nigeria 🇳🇬

Group C
Nigeria 2 Vs 1 Tanzania
Nigeria 3 vs 2 Tunisia
Nigeria 3 Vs 1 Uganda

Round of 16
Nigeria 4 vs 0 Mozambique

Quarter finals
Nigeria 2 Vs.0 Algeria

Semi finals
Nigeria 0 vs 0 Morocco (2-4) penalties

3rd place
Nigeria 0 vs 0 Egypt (4-2) Penalties




The display is fearsome... Infact no team want to face us. Even Morocco had to use the fans plus referee antics to win us

Amokachi should enroll for an analyst or pundit training program in England. Despite being a support commentator, he was just yabbing rubbish, sometimes. undecided

Those guys from Nigerian info would have done better. Okocha's own is even worse.
