This South African team will destroy us

You guys have started again
Frist it was Cameron then Egypt

'We had two more days to prepare'

Rohr has even an excuse for winning

andrew444:


Agreed

Now who do we have that have played top game ? Nobody ,only injured mikel and musa

I think omeruo is still fearful

Na wetin dey cause this fear sef

Dear Nairaland, South Africa's H2H against Nigeria recently says alot about their improvement. They have been playing better against us of late. Rohr mind you is always packing the bus against them hoping to hit on the counter.

Osimhen won't smell any match game this AFCON unless something happens to Ighalo.

Our 3rd match was his opportunity.

safarigirl:


Against the speed of the southies, we ought to start fast players like Chukwueze, I for say Onyekuru too, but make we manage Musa.


Ighalo is good to go as a forward, but Osimhen would be nice towards the end of the game.

He should learn how to talk with humility but sound confident. He should go and check how Pep talks, confident in humility, makes his players hot in humility.

Goke7:

Those statements are most annoying, we go hear another again before south Africa

I don't know what is wrong with Pinnic. They always throw money around, spoiling and corrupting the minds of the boys with material gains. Why always money? Why not some solid word of encouragement and hyping since they are already getting $10k each by default?

Goke7:


The money is too much o with our bad economy, not fair at all

Chriskel I didn't see you applaud Ighalo? what happened? It hurts he surpassed Nesyri ?

Or even placing the money on the darn cup

My player ratings for NGA against CAM

Akpeyi: Looked Jittery as usual and his misjudgement of the ball in the air nearly caused us a goal in the first half. I still feel a better Keeper would have saved at least one of the two goals we conceded: 5/10

Troost-Ekong: For a Defender who has been quite solid in the past, Ekong has had an underwhelming tourney so far. His passing has been suspect, Had an average game today. 5/10

Omeruo: Didn't live up to expectations today. Could have done better against the cross that led to the first goal and was beaten in the air for the second. Made some blunders as well but looked quite solid in the second half.6/10

Awaziem: Was outpaced by the cameroonian wingers a lot of times but that doesn't jettison his nice cross which Musa chested to Ighalo for our second goal. 6/10

Aina; Was probably the most solid defender today but was out-muscled by a Jam-body Njie for the Second goal. Could also have done better with the shot he balloned way off target. 6/10

Etebo: Still don't understand why he takes our set-pieces but as usual displayed energy and worked hard to contain the rampaging Cameroonians in the middle. 7.5/10

Ndidi: Hard worker and tackler extraordinaire. Partnered well with Etebo in the middle and tried covering up at the flanks too. 7.5/10

Iwobi; Looked lost in the 1st half and seemed not to Jell with either Moses or Musa. But had a good game in the second half with a goal to cap it all.7/10

Musa: Really troubled the Cameroonian defense with his fast pace but lacked service in the first half. Nice assist in the second. 7.5/10

Moses Simon: Bereft of ideas in the final third and even the defensive prowess which he was equally known for was missing. 5/10

Ighalo: Proved critics wrong with his ball-holding, positioning and finishing. The Cameroonian defense had no answer for this Juggernaut. Deservedly the MOTM. 9/10

Chukwueze: Provided 3 clear cut chances and was the game changer for the team. Was double teamed each time he had the ball, a testament to his ability. We have a gem on our hands. 7/10

Onuachu: It can be argued that he cme relatively late but he lacked attacking intent the few times he got the ball and was out-muscled by the obviously more physical Cameroonian defenders. 4/10

Balogun: Came late but added a bit of stability to the defense. 4/10

jihday:
Call Arsene Wenger to come and take over, I'm sure you'll be able to pay his bills

Not just Arsene Wanger. I am sure there are a good number of sons of Africa accross the continent who are capable to do the job. But the only obstacle they will face is the fact that Africans discriminate against black. Africans would rather see a white man manage a national team than a fellow black.

and this is what always cause the bonus palaver, making promises you can't fulfill. How much does the nff make in their business of football to be able to cough out such amount? is not the federal govt that always come to their rescue?

Maybe the extra $10k each is from his pocket because he must account for how he intend raising the extra $230k since this wasn't included in the monies supplied by the FG. We all know it's the FG that's paying their bonuses, so why does he want to get the extra $230k from except it was President Buhari that told him to promise them such.

Chai,dis Egypt coach no get sense 1 kobo,he shud have removed salah wen dey were trailing so dat he can go and wear dat shirt he wore wen we came 2 anfield,it would have gingered dia spirit like it did 2 his teamates in anfield,nonsense and Egypt


As 4 our Darling super eagles, I love d way dey fought back in d second half,tho I didn't wach d match from d beginning,i started wachin from the 56th minutes,so I don't knw wat happened in d 1st half except 4 d highlight I saw,but now dey know its South Africa dey are playing and not Egypt, dey really need to step up dia game.

Me I don't bliv in 'dey beat us b4,its time 4 us 2 avenge dat loss' thing oo,if football works dat way,Cameroon shud have beaten us black and blue.Let dem beat the southies because dey want 2 win d afcon title nt because dey want 2 revenge.

Good luck 2 dem,I c dem going all d way and doing us proud. My blood is GREEN.




Peace.

IronGalaxy do u remember this post from yesterday?

I remember very well my friend we finally saw glimpses of that game tonight

Odunayaw:

Maybe u blind ni

Those who were paying attention, did

andrew444:


IronGalaxy wouldn't have agree with what you said yesterday

I am sure he is suprised about their winning

Triniti:
Where’s Wena irongalaxy? come here right way. Your team is doing something great

IronGalaxy:

I saw it coming bro. I never saw anything special in that Egyptian team.

Thank God for the win cos this match really make me fear...

Frankly speaking, the team has a lot of things to work on. They need to learn how to cross the ball, deliver set pieces, etc., seemed our players weren't comfortable with the ball; I sensed fear; a couple of times, they just ballooned the ball into they air, inviting more pressure.

I was not impressed with Onuachu, I don't know whether he's just been panicky, but l'll prefer that Osimhen come in for Ighalo, as for Moses Simon, he didn't have a particularly great game today, but I don't see how he's a bad player. Very good players, sometimes, do have bad games, therefore, those who do well today may have average games tomorrow, but let's try never to rubbish their effort easily. The wingers, though,need to be better, the midfield too, so that the defence would be more confident.

Finally, some people are too negative here, they complain about any and everything. I fail to see how this could be of benefit to the team. These players are human; they deserve to be appreciated sometimes, same as the coaching crew.

andrew444:
The South Africans are really impressive

Where is irongalaxy?

i am here my Lord
