TheGoodJoe:
Sad for Hector Cuper. He lost another final. Really feel for him. I hope he does not give up and keep trying. Congratulations Cameroon. Current Kings of Africa.

safarigirl:
YES

It is better to be an understudy to Aguero than a back up to Gabriel Jesus.

tbaba1234:


There are many talented players who benefited from the best training but are no where.

TheGoodJoe:


I wonder if we should sacrifice the chance of working under optimum conditions for just regular playing time. City will spend big and if the striking position is not reinforced, Nacho will stand a big chance of working with high quality players. We are talking Isco coming to replace Silva.

AIG07:

As much as I love this statement.

There is a need for us to prepare and leave no stone unturn. The WCQs is getting tricker.

This Cameroonian team is no push over and now that they're african champions the will be motivated to go for the killer against anyteam that comes their way.

safarigirl:
lol....goodjoe, eez like you're forgetting that Kelechi will be turning 21 this year, not 19


You are also forgetting that Kelechi is a forward, not a goalkeeper

You are also forgetting that Kelechi is currently a regular for the Super Eagles who are gunning for a WC and AFCON ticket, not a bench player of a regular for Jamaica

Because if you are remembering these things, you wee not be yarning us host about "learning under good equipment and world class tutors"

There are many 20 year old graduates that have joined work force, many 20-year old apprentices that have been discharged to open their own shop. So please, what exactly is he learning as old as he is that he haff not reach to enter field?

This Camerounian team's triumph have just super-cemented and further confirmed our WCQ group as the toughest ever in African football history.... Algeria, Cameroun, Zambia, Nigeria.... All Champions affair.... The BLOODIEST GROUP EVER SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF AFRICAN FOOTBALL

TheGoodJoe:
From the look of things, Aguero is leaving Manchester City. If Guardiola does not buy a high profile striker to fit that role, do you think Iheanacho should still leave Manchester City? Consider he still has a lot to learn.

My Favorite men of the Roaring Indomitable Lions who just conquered Africa for the first time since 2002 and the fifth time in their history......

Meanwhile the Hector Cuper curse continues....




-Fabrice Ondoa (jersey no.1): My Man of the Tournament. The finest goalie at the Afcon. He's just 21. The legends of Nkono, Antoine bell, Sango'o, Kameni Other Camerounian greats between the sticks lives in this fantastic young man.


-M. Ngadeu-Ngadjui (jersey no.5): This guy is like the return of Cameroun's beastly defensive legends all rolled into one. He scores and he defends with power, considerably good pace and grit. Won't want our dear Iheanacho coming up against this dude..... #Honestly
He was a marvel to watch and should be bested if we must overcome them over those two legs in Definitely Africa's biggest double header in recent times come August 28 and sept.3rd....

-A. Teikeu (jersey no.4): This dude reminds me of The great and super legendary Rigobert Song.... He may not be the fastest of defenders but he is certainly a rock. Joel Matip cannot break into this team's back four even if he were here... #fact

-Christian Bassogog (no. 13): This dude is a livewire and a menace on the wings. Reason why Clinton N'jie was mostly coming from the bench. Bassogog is one of the break-out stars of this new camerounian generation.


-Benjamin Moukandjo (no. : THE LEADER OF THE PACK. The talisman of the team. The team soars when he does but struggles if he doesn't come to the party. His assists in this tournament especially from freekicks are to be watched closely by Balogun and Ekong or any other defender that will feature in that African super special legendary battle.


-Nicolas N'Koulou (no. 3): Wasn't a starter but his goal brought the Lions roaring back into today's final. NKOULOU AND MATIP SHOULD NATURALLY BE STARTERS BUTTTTTT THE CHEMISTRY AND COMBO OF NGADJUI AND

-Vincent Aboubakar (no. 10): He's one for the big occasion. Have been expecting him to strike a great goal at this Afcon but he chose to do it at the moment that will end Egypt's run of 55 years without losing a final game. The last time Egypt lost an Afcon final was 1962.... Cc: The Super elders... Sirs: Icon4s, Kog45, Tbaba1234, et al


-Clinton N'Jie (no. 7): His wingplay was impressive whenever he was in action. He is a threat anytime anyday and a quality cover for Bassogog.

-Sebastien Siani (no. 15): This was one of Cameroun's most effective midfielders at the Afcon. He's a force in the Lions' midfield and also one of their strong lietenants. But I have to admit... The Nigerian Midfield still edges them in quality.





After all is said and done..... What a year we have up ahead...

Squaring off in a double header against the African Champions and the team that will play at Russia 2017 Fifa Confederations Cup....


Our group in the WCQs and our games against Cameroun coming up soon.... Hmmmm


This is the stuff of legends..... #ThingsJustGotReallyInteresting

goldfish80:


The real mvp for the Camerounians is Hugo Broos. Largely unknown in Africa but guy is big in Belgium. One of Belgium's finest.
The way he tweaked his team and tactics between the quater finals to the final was amazing.

He totally unbalanced the Ghanaians with a surprise 442. And yet again today, switched Moukanjo and Basogog from their usual positions. Its not a surprise he is yet to loose a game as Cameron boss.

It will be a war of tactics in Yaounde and Calabar.

safarigirl:
lol @ 1:0 victory, eez like you're still not familiar with the Nigerian national team

Oga calm down, even before they wobbled and fumbled until they won AFCON, I doubt anyone on this thread was anticipating a win at Yaounde

Kog45:
A lot to learn?hope u remember a champions league match were Nacho and Aguero need to sit on d bench for a false 9.It was at this period i knew Pep doesn't believe in d duo,just waiting for d arrival of Gabriel and come next season Pep w bid for another striker that suit his philosophy.

Nacho should just leave for a better club that appreciate him.Nacho development is important to Super eagle and Rohr believe so much on him.

Thegoodjoe i know u are so passionate about Man city and always feel Nacho development is secured at Man City but sometimes as a fan u just have to deal with it,Nacho must moves elsewhere for real thing,playing week in week out.

TheGoodJoe:


Do you think Ndidi will start a game in Manchester City despite playing regularly at his former club?

Yes if Pep believes in his talent.

Elnino9:
how come africa champions won't be at nxt year world cup how?

TheGoodJoe:


Sane improved without regular playing time. Iwobi became a star of Arsenal without regular playing time. Yaya Toure did not have regular playing time this season and took an unfamiliar role, yet he is playing well. Iheanacho became one of the top players of the Super Eagles without regular playing time. Ighalo lost form despite having regular playing time.

The regular playing time stuff is a myth.

TheGoodJoe:
Who will Ndidi bench. Fernandinho or Kevin De Bruyne?

TheGoodJoe:


I understand the week in week out demand but, look at Iwobi for instance. Staying up so late and chatting while he had a match later that day. Such is not tolerated by Guardiola. We might hail Iwobi playing week in, week out but he is losing out on some discipline training. It took Xhaka to tell Iwobi to go to bed.

Kog45:
Are u saying Nacho should stay put if this trend continues till d end of d season coz Pep is a disciplinarian.

If i may ask u which Nacho did u preferred,Nacho under Pellegrin or under Guardiola.

On discipline,individual managers have different approach when it comes to discipline and i can tell u Wenger is one of them,Iwobi chatting in d night doesn't amount to indiscipline.We can't.do our things in d same way,Guardiola may frown at it while Wenger w just look other way round.

cc12:

Fernandinho of course if Pep believes in him.

cc12:


Yaya Toure is a seasoned footballer with over 43,000 minutes in his club career while Leroy Sane had over 2,900 minutes when he was with Schalke .Iwobi was playing regularly from the last quarter of last season while Ighalo is an average striker.Iheanacho game time for Man City last season wasn't up to 1,000 minutes so regular playing time is not a myth but a fact.

TheGoodJoe:


Fernandinho is one of the best pass masters in the whole of EPL. Ndidi has a lot of work to get to that level.

Belief comes with ability.

goldfish80:

LOL.. I hope the Super Eagles rise to the occasion. The Camerounians have yet to conceed twice in a a game since Hugo Broos took over. I will gladly take a 1:0 win.

TheGoodJoe:

Cameroun would always be Cameroun. They have played in 6 finals and won 5. That is why they are called the Indomitable Lions. They have a title winning mentality.

Going into the WC Qualifiers, Cameroun have done themselves both good and harm.
Good in the sense that they have used this AFCON to build a team with a winning mentality together with all the cohesion achieved in different departments of the team.
And harm in the sense that the Super Eagles will no longer in anyway under-rate them in the double header clash. Thank God we got to see them at this AFCON, they would have probably taken us by surprise.

We have the advantage with a 4point lead. What we need do is to win that game in Uyo and open up a 7points lead. So that at the worst case scenario of losing in Yaoundé/Doula we will still have that 4pts lead with 2 matches to go. A win in our next game against Zambia and they can't catch us again.

It is also important for our players to remain in shape till that time.
I know we have the team to beat this Cameroonian side.

I only now have more respect for them but I dnt fear them.
