I hope so, but the body language of infantino and Motsepe suggests they were not happy about Senegal winning the AFCON during the trophy presentation, won't put it past FIFA to play bad politics here and screw Senegal here.

Let me start from did Senegal face Mozambique?but they faced Botswana,rate Mozambique and Botswana...yes they drew Congo,we lost to Congo via penalties...Senegal defeated Benin 3-0 the same Benin we beat 4-0...yes won Egypt by lone goal, against Egypt poor officiating denied us outright victory,Akor goal?Senegal showed resilient took Morocco to 120 minutes football just like Nigeria,what separated us was that goal, respect to Senegal but fact that Senegal team will only defeat us via penalties which can go either sides
Nigeria would have defeated that Senegal. I tell you.

I've read the ongoing conversation
What I know is that you are the best when you win, you are thrash when you lose.

What type of fouls were morocco committing to become the least carded team. 141 fouls but 10 cards.
Chelle's tiki taka showed up. Nice.

It seems Senegal might be kicked out of the world cup for staging a walkout during the finals against Morocco, FIFA really want to make an example out of the incident...
That will not happen. They will be fined but world cup spot is guaranteed. They went back to the field to play hence the sanction will not be too harsh

I did in a followup post after Joebie replied.

Here is it below....

TheSuperNerd:
Uche for Onyeka is also a very good call. Uche can also fill into the Iwobi role due to his strong ball carrying and creative instincts as well. He can be groomed to fill in either roles as he is naturally a deeplying and box to box midfield monster.
Funny thing about Uche is he can also cover the Lookman role as he is comfortable playing close to the box too.
Uche is a multifaceted weapon but covering for the Onyeka role seems like his best fit but keeping in mind he can be just as effective in the other roles.


As for the CF role, I am still not exactly sold on Onuachu hence why I say solid 4 options needed aside Osimhen and Akor.
So that is it on Uche👆🏾

Mujtahida:
Curiously you didn't mention Chrisantus Uche for the midfield. Is it that he doesn't fit anywhere in our midfield set up?

By the way, I don't like players like Dele Bashiru who have no clear and defined roles. Much like how several coaches found it hard to deploy Iheanacho towards the twilight of his national team career.

Egyptians complained about the referee blocking their view before Sadio Mané took thst shot

Sénégal used everything that happened in Nigerias game as a model to prepare for the worst
They were not leaving that stadium without the trophy, they had champions shirts already printed
Obvious FIFA, CAF and the establishment wanted to gift Morocco this éditions trophy
Morocco helps CAF with facilities but that doesn’t mean CAF should go outrightly to make sure Morocco win
Sénégal went to Rabat stadium ready for wa.r in football, physicality & politically

Super Falcons & Bayana Bayana next
CAF will favour Morocco again
If Morocco loses, they’d take CAF to court again lol

It will be counterproductive for FIFA. They didn't abandon the match totally.

The coach will bear the brunt. Fine and ban.

A counterplay will be the rest of Africa raising the unsportsmanlike behavior of Morocco and poor officiating to feverish pitch. This will take the sting out.

Besides, WAFCON is close and CAF needs all the goodwill it can get.

Nigeria created 27 chances but a very selfish player created more than half of those chances,you see here some watch this game with emotions.....highest scoring side with 14 goals,how I wished Osimhen broke Yekini record with Afcon 🏆

So that is it on Uche👆🏾
nice on the fact that he is good enough for all these positions but won't he be too forward minded due to his recent positions. Im concerned if he will maintain position discipline.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Amedino99(m): 3:49pm On Jan 20
It is always the ones you least expect. Never knew the moroccans were 'traditionally inclined'.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 3:58pm On Jan 20
The thought did hit me but it is why I dont put him forward for the CDM role. Uche in Europe began as a versatile player used in midfield and attack at Moralo in Spain's 7th tier before he was mainly used as a DM and CM in Spain's 4th tier or so at AD Ceuta.
It is at Getafe, we began seeing him feature further forward even more as an SS, CF, AM and few times at LM.

Uche is likened to a 3 tailed fox on the pitch, capable in defence, offence and transitions. His more balanced box to box quality erases the tactical positional discipline question coz he seems to know when move forward and track back. This is why he suits 3 roles in the diamond.

So a benchwarmer is good enough for the national team, but 2 young players who are doing well in the Seria A are still coming up? with this logic I can see why our national team is a joke, very nice one bro.
Rafiu just joined Seria A but you are claiming he is doing better there. Try to lie small small.

Oban wey flop for Ligue 1 but is currently doing well on loan in Seria A is still upcoming.

National team is not by age. It should be by what you bring to the table. You were wrong to put Awoniyi in the same category with Ahmed and Ighalo when you know he is still in active football. Only problem is injury not his talent.

Best two teams in the tournament were Nigeria and Senegal. NGA vs SEN should have been the final. I think Senegal had the edge because of their squad depth. Our key men ( Ndidi, Osimhen & Bassey) were already out with injuries/suspensions towards the end of the competition.

Nigeria vs Senegal would have been a spectacular game,even to neutrals. Not the horror show morroco served us.

Has there been any Nigerian who played for England and had a stellar international career?

I doubt. The only person appears to be Saka. Yet players of Nigerian lineage continue to crash their international career against the tempting siren call of the English football team.

Between Saka and Ademola, who's had it better on the international scene?

We say Nigeria is not attractive but those innit boys that chose England over Nigeria are mumu men. The reason I say this is that all you have to do is to look at the evidence. Nigeria always gives you a chance. Always. You determine what you do with the chance.

But England chews them like a child chewing an apple - this side small, that side small before discarding them.

I just dey look that Eze wey break ChrisKels heart.

Actually we have a better head to head record. But it's a good thing we've not really had many chances to play them recently. They'd have closed the gap there real quick.

You missed what I said about the timing of when they did.

Senegal is getting these men to commit at 22, 23, 24. And those guys are playing at a higher level than the likes of the dual nationals you mentioned.

Senegal's core is aging but they have the next gen ready and primed!!! Like you keep missing that fact. What I have been saying is Sengal's FA is managing their potential talent pool well. They have their current core but already have a pipeline of dual nationals that will be playing for them in the future.

10/11 are playing in the top 5 Euro leagues and are all 25 or under.

Where is that similar pipeline of talent for Nigeria?? Our current team is good to win now but what about in the futurehuh This is what I'm talking about in terms of managing resources and talent.

You're saying the Senegal core is old but the two starting CBs in the final were Sarr and Niakate. 20 and 29. Camarra was their starting RCM, and he's 22 at Monaco. Ndiaye is 25 and plays RW for them. Sarr and Mbaye are 27 and 17...
Nigeria don't scout for 21, 22, 23 and 24 years old players because they never blow. They start chasing arround for them when dem start to dey blow which I think it is wrong.

Players like Nwanari, Kayode, Koleosho, Carney, Azeez, Ilenikhena, Justin Njinmah, Okoli, Lesly, Kazeem Olaigbe, Anjorin etc. are within this age range and they are very promising players. Afolayan, Jacob Murphy etc

Unfortunately, Nigeria dey wait make dem blow before attracting them.
