My money is on Don Carlo.

TheSuperNerd:
Let me try to get into Chelle's mind for a bit. For me I think his likely starting XI vs Portugal today will be:

GK - Maduka Okoye

LB - Bruno Onyemaechi
RB - Abdullahi Bewene

LCB - Calvin Bassey
RCB - Semi Ajayi

MF - Wilfred Ndidi (C)
MF - Alex Iwobi
MF - Frank Onyeka

FW - Simon Moses
FW - Akor Adams
FW - Samuel Chukwueze

Formation: Kicking off with 442/4312 Diamond OR 433

Okay o,whatever una say.

Everybody know say they are not our mate on football,
But we were paired with them on first occasion, they got the ticket, we didn't. On the second occasion, they still got the ticket ahead of us,and una insist say they no stop us na we stop ourselves.
Don't you think if we were able to defeat them just once,that we would have qualified ahead of them inspit of all those draw games we had?

I don't mind meeting them on knockout stages,but once it's a group thing, they will play every politics to qualify ahead of us whether by hook or crook.

For your supportive🤝🏿, hatewatching😡 and entertainment😆 viewing pleasure, here is the schedule lineup for Africa on matchday 1.

TheSuperNerd:
Strong cases to start:
✅️Tochukwu Nnadi
✅️Emmanuel Fernandez


Likely debutant today:
✅️Christian Akpan


Likely to score vs Portugal today?
✅️I will guess Akor or Chukwueze to open the scoring for Nigeria. I know I will likely miss this. Lol

Odunayaw:
I shall start tomorrow with the name Sen̄or Odunayo El Delgado Padrino. Then on the 13th I shall be found to be Odunvinho de la Cruz

comodo:
Akpan may likely start. I have the feeling that Chelle is already looking at post Aina and Osayi

FiveFootNinja:
We tend to get good results against them sha. Historically.

Only exception was that 4-1 drubbing by Denmark in France '98. 😖

I was not impressed with Senegal's play at AFCON except for their performance against Morocco in the finals. An average USA team completely outplayed them, and they should have lost that game by a margin of three to four goals. I am currently watching them against Saudi Arabia, and everything about their play seems like a sluggish, lazy, predictable type of football. They are very easy to be opened up by their bad organisation and slow defenders. I don't think this team is well coached. This Senegalese team I am watching will lose against France and Norway for sure, and that Haiti game will be a struggle. There is a lot of talent on the team, but they are not playing like a well-coached team. I am currently watching the game with my Norwegian friends. They feel very confident that they will turn this Senegalese team over when they meet. My hope for this World Cup among African teams is really pinned on Ivory Coast and Morocco. Algeria and Egypt might surprise, but the rest are going there to mark attendance.

World Cup starts tomorrow my predictions

Winner: Brazil with my full chest. Something just tells me the Samba Boys could win an unlikely six title. Weather favours them too.

Golden Boot: Mbappe/Kane.

Tournament MVP: Vinicius if Brazil wins. He will be absolutely key to them winning.

Breakout Star: Yamal.

Golden Gloves: Allison Becker.

Surprise Team: Norway. Think Haaland and Odegaard will reck havoc.

African Team: Tipping Ivory Coast to reach the Quarters, Senegal don't look too dynamic, Morocco don't have that surprise factor again.

Lol... SA and Maroc hatewatching... indeed Oduninho

EEGA:
Arthur Okonkwo kept a clean sheet against Zimbabwe 2-0(Nwabali conceded against them in AFCON qualifiers).

Against Jamaica 3-0(another clean sheet).Nwabali conceded 2 against them in the final of last 2 editions of Unity cup, with the match ending in 2-2 draw with the Super Eagles winning on penalties.

Okoye conceded 2 against Poland and shouldn't start the game against Portugal.

Arthur Okonkwo deserves a start.Okoye can replace him in the 2nd-Half.

That will be interesting to see coz he has been quite brilliant in camp from reports I have heard/read.

New boy, Akpan at RB over Bewene that impressed on his debut will be something. Lad can also play LB but Bruno is present. The lineup will drop soon.
