Rashidi was far better. This one is seriously overrated

To him.
Senegal were the best

omoredia:
Nigeria is not at the level to play the final abeg. I dont like sentiments.

Senegal would have beaten the super eagles

richiemcgold:
I hope you are not too blind to read "bye bye to rederede" in the comment you quoted?

🤣

kingomane:
England premier League

Brighton vs Bournemouth

Tip: over 2.5goals

Odds: 1.47

It's likely going to end under 2.5

Bizmind95:
Oga no need for long grammer or getting too emotional. Just go online, preferably on FB and watch the clip of how Hakimi walked to the back of Mendy's goalpost, Just few seconds before the penalty, grabbed his white towel and threw it into the stands, thinking that the white towel was a form of voodoo (juju) to save the penalty, and how a Senegalese player rushed right back into the stands, grabbed the towel and returned it to it's former position. Then, tell me if all these desperate actions from the Moroccans prove to you that they deliberately planned to miss that penalty!!! Oga, see eh, the problem with you is that you don't understand what football means to those North Africans. They don't see football as a game. They see it as a war!!! Nothing concern them with fair play or what people will say later, they play dirty to win at all cost!!! Talk more of an Afcon final on Home soil!!! After all the billions and emotions the whole country has invested in the tournament!!! Haba na!!! Oga, they will do everything to win that final!!!

I don explain tire. But many of them still believe the Moroccan lost the penalty on purpose. So he likes Senegalese players more than himself to put his reputation on the line like that.

KosiGee:
It’s embarrassing reading certain opinions here. How can a grown man believe that Diaz or Chukwueze deliberately missed the penalty??

Because in Nigeria we like conspiracy theories.

helinues:
You read from my comments that if you have seen the video. Are you on free mode data?

Nonsense

thomas2024:
In as much I don’t support Tinubu or APC for their shenanigans. Do you lost your voice when the North was ruling Nigeria with that monster called Buhari with his misrule, tribalism, nepotism, corruption under his nose? Where is your voice then? As beautiful as the North is, your looters from the North destroy the Northern with different issues ranging from Hisbah, religious extremism, banditry, corruption, terrorism, farmers-herder clash all because of selfishness and that devilish mindset of burn to rule. I hope Tinubu punish you guys in the north and other Nigerians to make everybody’s brain reset in order to choose good leader for the next coming election.

They're happy destroying their own land.

helinues:
If you have seen the video of the failed attack by ISWAP terrorists in Borno or so over the weekend, there was a game changer in That failed attack.

The attack by the terrorists was well coordinated as they are just too many with different sophisticated weapons. But they were decimated.

Those who are sponsoring them gave them out to the security operatives for the clearance so that they won't be able to talk in future. Such coordinated attack shouldn't have failed, at least they would have run over the barrack before aerial attack .

Their backers are backing down ,Nigeria is winning the war against the miscreants

Who is this one again? The army defeated them. Simple.
Can you provide evidence to support your claim?

Kalulu44:
Oya nah 70yrs old man that knows football more than everyone

Olodo. E pain am

AAA593:
I should be telling you to go and sit down. GOD don disgrace your Morroco. Park well

What's dis one saying?What I support is good football and winning against the odds like Senegal did. Na you and your silly super eagles God disgraced for early year. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

ZombieDredd:
Don't mind people saying otherwise....someone is on. 5 goals and wants to score more, but they say he intentionally miss it

Most of them don't know anything about football. They just type rubbish here. They're mostly young people sha.

AAA593:
U forgot that the ball touched his body before his hand. Maybe na another afcon u dey watch. All the teams wey don play against Morroco dey complain. Na afcon 2023 u dey watch

Go and sit down. Always giving excuses. The officiating against Senegal was bad but they still managed to outclass the host. That's a serious country.

They have just handed this man over to the dark forces. Putting his name and location out there is stupid

Dynamo123:
Senegal threatened to walk off he was told to miss the kick

Dem suppose slap you

The best team so far by farrrr in the tournament is Morocco. Stop saying nonsense and giving excuses like the average Nigerian

otipoju:
I don't like ignorant people ooo.

According to FIBA laws, that ball was not a foul period. Contact with a part of the body before touching the hand is not a foul if the initial touch changes the trajectory of the ball before it touches the hand.

Kicking the ball into the crowd in protest at a referee decision is an automatic yellow which the referee refused to call.

A throw in in the attacking third against Bruno was called when the ball did not cross the line.

The yellow card against bassey was given when he was ahead of Diaz and Diaz was clearly pulling his shirt. Not a foul.

I can go on and on. But it does not change anything. Morocco has invested heavily into facilities as and can host any competition at short notice.

They have not won the nations cup in 50 years and CAF is determined to make them win this one.

No one says Morocco did not play well, but they are receiving plenty of help from CAF.

All the teams they played against are complaining of the same thing. It is not coincidence, it is deliberate

I know. But it seems you are the ignorant one here, about how Nigerians think. They would still be talking about it till tomorrow that we had a penalty denied us. A biased refree would have blown for penalty only to be called to the var later.
The officiating that day was not unfair and didn't contribute to the loss. Period

otipoju:
Inconsistency in calls is a moral dampener.

Calling fouls for Morocco over the same fouls that he did not call for Nigeria.

We lost. We were clearly outplayed.
If the penalty call he ignored when a Nigerian player handled the ball in the box was done to Nigeria we will still be talking about it till tomorrow. We're not a serious nation and it shows in the way we always give excuses

SisterAnn:
So if his brother has died, not physically fit or not in the country, how do you expect him to show his face according to you?

you are now insinuating for him. 🤣 Did he say all this?

Most of those who still enter bet9ja shops to book tickets are semi illiterates. This business idea is bad because most people bet on their phones now 🤣

SisterAnn:
So belonging to his brother means belonging to him? Don't just argue blindly, present your proof.

The brother that didn't show face 🤣
You people are gullible sha

TGreatGatsby:
The point is the prudence it takes to stay away from gathering material things beyond what you need. We need people who seek to serve rather than greedily gather all in the name of “agreement is agreement”

So his Next Supermarket in that same Abuja is not a material thing?

AAA593:
Outplayed Nigeria with ref and linesmen abi. U really funny o

Documenting the questionable decisions by this Ghanaian referee (Nigeria vs Morocco):

18’
Brahim kicks the ball out. The referee blows against Osayi and gives the throw-in to Morocco.
Note: There were wrong calls before this, but let’s start here.

22’
Brahim clearly handballs while trying to chest the ball. No whistle.

32’
Bassey is given a yellow card for an action that wasn’t even a foul.

34’
Clear foul on Ezzazouli not given.

36’
Another obvious foul ignored.

51’
Lookman is clearly pulled. No foul.

52’
Onyedika goes for a fair 50-50 ball. The referee blows against him.
It feels like Nigeria is not even allowed to touch a Moroccan shirt.

58’
Osayi is simply marking Ezzazouli. Suddenly, a free kick for Morocco.

65’
Ezzazouli blasts the ball away. No yellow card.

68’
The ball never leaves the field, yet the referee gives a throw-in to Morocco.
Even Moroccan players look confused.

88’
Free kick given to Hakimi when Moses Simon clearly didn’t touch him. It should have been Nigeria’s corner.

92’
Moses Simon cleanly wins the ball from Hakimi, but the referee calls a foul, stopping a clear counterattack.

93’
Clear foul on Onyeka. Referee waves play on.

99’
No yellow card for Brahim after pulling Bruno and stopping an attack.

102’
No yellow card for Igamane after stopping Osayi’s attack.

103’
The referee blows against Bashiru for absolutely nothing.

115’
Clear foul on Osayi. Completely overlooked.

When every call is against you, it will be difficult to progress with the ball. It will affect you psychologically. The officiating clearly targeted the psychological state of the players during play, using it as a weapon to distabilize the team.

You forgot to add the part where a Nigerian defender handled the ball in the 18 yard box and the ref ignored the calls of the Moroccans 🤣
Excuses everywhere.
Shebi Chukwueze was paid too

jrobbins:
Abi, just give them another stadium and drones will be over head watching.

I thought training is for fitness. Tactics are being discussed inside. Senegal just dey find agenda.

Don't mind them. They are intimidated already and have already conceded defeat. They're just giving us reasons and excuses to understand their loss in advance

otipoju:
It was very deliberate. One Ghanian center referee was put in charge on the field, one South African was put in charge of VAR and another was an Assistant Referee. Then they were both supported by officials from our recent opponents in the in the AFCON group stages such as Tunisia, Mozambique and then Lesotho from the world cup qualifying.

We like giving excuses too much in this country. A south African was put in charge of VAR, and what wrong var call did he make against Nigeria?
Did the Ghanaian refree blow for a penalty kick against you or did he give the Moroccans a penalty kick against you?
Was there a corner kick the linesmen deny you? Did they also cancel any goal you scored or allowed Morocco score an offside goal?
Did they also make you lose your penalty kicks?
Are they also the ones that put Oshimen to sleep on the field?
We just like looking for excuses all the time

Kalulu44:
You may not have used it agreed, but don't tell me you didn't see people use it, if you didn't see don't also tell me you didn't hear about it. Except you don't read papers or watch television is

I never said I didn't hear people used it. My cousin visited on holiday around that time and said instead of firewood that we were using they were using something called saw dust stove in Osun state..

But I never saw it. Up till today I don't know how they "operated" it. I think it had to do with the fact that there was no saw mill anywhere close to my neighborhood

Kalulu44:
If you didn't use it doesn't mean many people didn't use it for you to see. Except you want to tell me you lived in Maitama, V.I or GRA of any states then

Not everyone saw it. I lived in Eleyele Ibadan then. I think it was around 94. Our compound was large and not floored so we could use firewood instead.

ycat:
I was recently told in a group that Nairaland no longer allows post that are in support of president Tinubu on important topics especially the ones that punch holes into the opposition narratives. And that it’s still on low heat and pro Apc will be completely silenced right before the elections because the opposition are now running nairaland. Just know that quite a few people are thinking about you A LOT!

Well, Seun has become a big problem, he has helped the enemy to use nairaland to wage wars on Yoruba and has caused Yoruba to lose the information war. Yes Yoruba are docile, but people can see the role Seun played and still playing in destroying Yoruba. This is not about asking for a special treatment, it’s about a level playing field, there’s a reason why RUMBLE is still the best place to be, they understand what freedom of speech is.

Seun also has a lawsuit in his future because if he’s censoring certain posts before they hit the board, then nairaland is not a platform but a publisher with a lot of liabilities. And before they say Yoruba are dragging a fellow Yoruba and a successful one at that, people can see that we have suffered in his hand. Even if the State Dept. is helping you now, trust me, they will leave you high and dry when they’re done using you since you don’t make them money and China has almost cornered most of their interests in Nigeria except the military base.

These are previous 2 of my comments that were not allowed to post .

You are taking things, yourself and nairaland too seriously.

Wickedtruths:
Like CC Onoh and Ojuku as per Bianca.

🤣

AMINDA:
Tinubu will destroy the APC with this inordinate desire to have everyone in his party. There are too many clash of egos and the party will implode close to and after the primaries. Ganduje and Kwankwaso cannot co-exist in one party as at today. Tunubu is just potentially making an enemy out of Kwankwaso for little to no gain but with a lot to lose.

Is Kwakwanso in APC?
