Portugal go kill Bewene for the RB position o

He survived today clean and clear. Kudos to Chelle for allowing him to continue in the 2nd half. It really did a lot of good to his morale. He just settled in well. I bet you Portugal game will be the climax of his game.

lbrichman2:
They played with more bravery
Our midfield was more fluid
We were a bit slower today

Exactly what I'm implying. This started from a point in the first half through the whole of the 2nd half. I had already predicted Poland to either win or draw before our penalty, based on what I was watching. I wasn't surprised at all when a buddy alerted me that they've equalised 2-2.

mank1234:
Stop super coating. Keeper had emlbough time to adjust and time his jump. It's his usual school boy error. He's good at close range. Nwabali is better all round.

It seemed like he did but he didn't IMO.

Does this mean that anytime a keeper lets in a long range shot it is his fault?

forgiveness:
Dey lie there. Ball wey curve.

Na you no wan embrace truth

semid4lyfe:
Why didn't anyone close up on that polish player to prevent him from taking the shot?

They were all backing away and gave him so much space abi dem no dey score from that kind distance again?

Disappointed .

It was just seconds to the final whistle so nobody took him serious and he just struck that ball like "let me just try my luck" kinda shot since they couldn't penetrate the strong defense.

lbrichman2:
Okoye 's positioning let him down
Nwabali saves that

which positioning? Why re you not blaming the midfielders that left such space for the guy to shoot?

Did you really see how that shoot swerved if you truly watched the e game with a clear device and steady internet connection?

Mk una go rest abeg

minfelix:
I love Okoye’s performance, but God can you help us put in the spirit of Enyeama in our keepers?😭😭🥺🥺…just 10seconds to go ooooo…
na those kind balls enyeama dey use shine..reminds me of Paul Scholes shot at 2002 world cup England vs Nigeria….and all those dirty curlers from Messi at 2010 world cup….

Okoye did not position himself well for that shot🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Not Messi free kick in 2014 world cup 3rd group match against Argentina..na look Enyeama look the ball enter net..lol

Odunayaw:
Nwabali wey de save rockets for 2023 afcon even in final?

Dis is banana rocket. You don hear am before?

Disappointed .

thank you bros. Even Ndidi was calling on others to close down the before he struck

How on earth will one blame Okoye for that goal?

Moniter0:
will Nwabali save those close range shots that Okoye saved?

I would argue that he will

Leao will perform wonders on that boy.

lbrichman2:
Portugal go kill Bewene for the RB position o

Papi85:
they all know the truth but full of hate for the poor lad

Even if Okoye saves 5 clear cut chances an average Nigerian football fan will never rate him

How on earth do you expect him to save a swerving long ranger when the midfield that was suppose to close the scorer down not to allow him space didn’t do their job?

We can easily say it's your love for him that blinds you to see he was not well positioned in the first place.

No come de form objective like say emotions no de your side baba

Thank you. As if other keepers no dey catch ball wey swerve. His position for first goal was poor. That's not to say that was his fault

You see this second goal, he bleeped up. He made it look spectacular.

Any shot outside the 18yrs box is the keepers fault.
Since you know Okoye, how many times had he stopped ordinary penalty?
One characteristics of a good keeper is the ability to chest penalties.

elyte89:
Anybody dt doesn’t our right back tonight no sabi watch ball…he was decent and played better Dan the two experienced left backs …dt Zaidu na mumu ,he plays like he’s an amateur



The right back passed his edition ..I will give him a solid 6.5/10

Bewene has played himself into the team
Proper experienced display
Didn't even show stage fright, being his debut..

Aina, Osayi, Alebiosu, Bewene
We are good in the RB position

Amedino99:
Quality of opponent

No. The misplaced passes was just too much from our team. Poland misplaced quite a lot as well.

ThunderFireAgba:
Onachu only played 45mins and was falling all over the places giving wrong passes. Just don't know why he's still invited.
Okoye prefer to be a starter in Europe than in home games in Nigeria. I can't remember the last time he was on the post for home game.

Your mouth reach 100 I swear. The same Onuachu that you were singing his praises not quite long ago cos he outscored bandage man in Turkey. Guy dey one side make u no dey confuse tunda.

Moniter0:
will Nwabali save those close range shots that Okoye saved?

Go and watch his save against Angola in Afcon 2023

If there's anything I've learned watching SE games for the past 4-5 years, whenever the game enters the final 10 mins, just grab your Bible and your anointing oil and start praying. Nigeria Super Eagles anything can happen in the dying minutes.

FiveFootNinja:
Omo. Eye go turn that boy. He gats guide for that game. Chop better fufu. 😮‍💨

Bro!!!
I just dey think of Portugal wingers, chest dey do me somehow
😭😭

not my love for him rather you re the one blinded my hate and prejudice

Oga rest abeg. Mk Una dey use clear mind watch games for once

This Bewene guy did well. Not great offensively but this one will see out Awaziem coming to that role

The ref was a bit biased sha.

Moniter0:

The same Nwabali who put us all on our toes against Tunisia, same against Lesotho in South Africa

I know Chelle would be pissed at their performance too.

opes:
Not Messi free kick in 2014 world cup 3rd group match against Argentina..na look Enyeama look the ball enter net..lol

that one na from side freekick….this kind straight shot wey beat Okoye, enyeama go punch am troway clean clean

Well, expecting him to shine in the Portugal game might be a step too far
Portugal's wingers are excellent

Whatever happens in that game, I'm already impressed with him and more importantly, he has played himself into the team

Moniter0:

the same Nwabali wey carry ball throw inside our own net against Lesotho Abi Benin?

If say na Okoye mk that mistake we for never talk am finish till today

Yes you're right

If na Nwabali concede that kind goal that guy go dey talk another thing

A lot of people here are so emotional. If Nwabili, who by the way I love, is so special and you are guaranteed he would have 100 percent saved that rocket, then why is he not at Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Manchester City? Was it savable? Yes, but that strike will constantly beat the best goalkeepers in the world 70 to 80 percent of the time. Give the dude that strike that ball credit and let Maduka Okoye be.

Oga rest abeg. Mk Una dey use clear mind watch games for once

You're blinded by your love and whatever gave you reasons to be his SAN.

Why are you blind to his positioning too?

Oga rest abeg. Mk you use clear mind watch game for once.
