The match lived up to expectation. It is a match between two heavy weights. Proud of African football. Great play

Egypt has become fire since Salah left. I told someone that Salah is the problem of Egypt. Since Salah became a star, the team struggled becus they all want to give all him all the ball to score. I hope the coach learns. The team play has improved. The coach needs to fix this issue.

Nothing do am he one go back liverpool

Mumu talk. So at UEFA champions league when he also went off, where was he going too?
Nigerians and their mumu talk always. Salah that was with Egypt till finals of last Nations cup.

MetalJigsaw:
You might be righ Though. But you ned to checke the last 15 years.

within that same 15 years, Egypt ruled AFCON while North African clubs ran riot in CAF competitions. That speaks a lot. To be a powerhouse does not start and end in AFCON alone. The north rules African football in everything. Our boys even go there to play professional football. It is the smallest region yet it is the most economically viable region in Africa among other things.

No, it isn’t a win win for the West. If the Cowardly gang of 30+ Countries are not so scared of Iran, they should move their fleet towards the Strait of Hormuz and bomb Iran rather than flexing their muscles with defenseless Yemen’s Houthis.

Not that I give a fvck about what happens between the 2 warring blocs (Axis of Evil & Axis of Resistance) but I hate hypocrisy from people like you.

If any sensible person or entity wants to tackle a problem, you deal with the said problem from its roots, and not just by attacking its leaves or branches.

If the West is telling us that the Yemen’s Houthis are being propped & funded by Iran, why not concentrate your forces on Iran to eradicate the problem once & for all, rather than chasing shadows - bombing helpless civilians in Yemen?

Muammar Gaddafi did not do 15% of what Iran is “allegedly” doing before the gang of 30 Countries invaded & killed him.

Trump killed Qasem Soleimani in 2020 and dared the Iranians to respond to his cowardly crime at the Baghdad Airport which killed Soleimani.

Guess what? The Iranians called his bluff and responded with severity, raining down ballistic missiles on 2 of her bases in Iraq – and Trump went silent for HOURS, with not so much as a tweet.

The Mainstream Media went into overdrive and denied any casualties were recorded.

Alas, Attached is the result of Iran’s retaliatory attacks on 2 of Amerikas bases in Iraq.

Those who do not know Amerika’s penchant for BLATANT LIES & PROPAGANDA are the Secondary School Children on Nairaland always posting nonsense to garner “useless likes”

Even the Pentagon knows that the day Amerika and her cowardly gang of 30+ Countries (called NATO) attacks Iran is the day NY, WA, IL, CA, TX & VA will be leveled & turned into radioactive dusts, including all her vassal states in Europe.

As always, for countless Billions of Dollars, Amerika can only send her army against illiterate savages armed with coconuts.

Exactly what I used to tell those American worshipers here about Russia. Gadaffi did not do 15 percent of what the west claimed that Putin has done yet, they invaded Libya, declared a no flight zone and aided to kill the man and even used missles right inside the country. Yet, America and her 30 plus countries and allies in Asia have not invaded Russia. If it was one weak country now, they would have quickly invaded her. Same thing they do in Iran. They cant invade Iran. Iran has diobeyed practically all international sactions against them yet, US and her 30 plus countries wont invade or strike into Iran

Dustbin analysis, apart from Egypt who has won it 8 times, who has won more than two titles from NA?

How does 'powerhouse' concerns sporting facilities? Nawa!

West AFrica has more countries, so should dominate normally, but they arent. Aside Cameron and Ghana then Nigeria 3 times, it is mainly once others have won. The north has just 5 countries and if one of them dominates to win it 8 times, that speaks loud.
And yes, in powerhouse of football, it is not only Afcon u will check becus u said powerhouse of football. U will also check out club football becus it is also football, u will also check out facilities becus that is part of football. You called mine dusbin analyses while u are the one displaying terrible taste of analysis.
It doesnt matter, west africa has 17 countries and has won it 17 times, that is one per each country on avergae. North has 5 countrries and has won it 12 times, that is an average of 2 cups per country. That is what u call analyses. Not what u wrote up there. And north controls the club level football in Africa which is also strong part of football on the continent.

Teenwolf:
West African countries are the power house of African football

How are they power house? West Africa has 17 countries and has won AFCON 17 times.
North Africa is just 5 countries and has won AFCON 12 times. The North Africans are the true power house of african football both an National and club levels. Infact, at club levels, west africa is lost completely. No where to be found.
In terms of sporting facilities, stadium, economic power house, the north Africa remains the oga patapata of these things in Africa

kennosklint:
same thing I wanted to write , nothing really special about them just this Tanzania teams seems scared to play

The pettern they deployed worked and they become first team from this continent to come 4th.
So, if it works, use it. Top teams struggled to beat them with such pattern remember.

See their second goal. Abeg, Morocco is not ranked 13th best team in the world for nthing. They are good.

Fira09:
Osimhen alone is worth £110M, so ?

wetin we don use the worth win? How many cups? We were even kicked out on the round of 16 the last time. This time sef, if we manage leave the group stages, make we thank God.

Yhinkss:
I must talk, can't people simply proffer solutions rather than identifying the problems we already know

They have profered solutions, did u guys buy into it?
We have said it time without number, decentralize Nigeria, decentralize the police so that states can mount their borders and communities with the type of weapons they can afford to match these criminals but una no gree.
U nigerians are the laughing stock of the entire world.
Messed up country with solutions looking at u but becus of unity, unity, unity that has no single benefits, una no gree.
Decentralize Nigeria as a matter of urgency before the entire middle class and low class gets kidnapped and raped.
Buhari finished Nigeria. He messed up the security with nepotism. He was so bold with nepotism. The north has destroyed Nigeria becus it all started with their useless game with Boko Haram just to ensure that GEJ leaves office. The monster they created has become a serious problem for us all now.
Buhari came in and made it worse with nepotism. For the first time in NIgeria's histry, all strategic security positions were held by Buhari's brothers. that creted nepotism in the country and they managed security poorly. Now, it is out of hand becus guns dey wrong hands now.
The best solution now is to sit down and decentralize the country so as states can control their resources, police and borders just like in the US. This way, security can not be compormised anymore from Abuja and poeple will defend their communities with their lives. I am ready to defend my community if given equally powerful guns to match the enemies.

Kinzo0917:
.

Agreed
Our Super eagles are overrated
South/Africa plays good and beautiful football but dey lack good goal poachers

I think s/Africa should aspire to play outside their country so as to gather more experience.

Our players that have been playing abroad, how far? Have we dominated Africa alone with all our players who play abroad?
It is always about playing abroad abeg.
Egypt ruled Africa with purely home based players. Since Egypt relied on Salah who is top European striker, the team has been weak.
Who sabi play, sabi play. When Egypt was on fire, they destroyed even the Ivorian team with the likes of Drogba who was in top form globally.

TOPCRUISE:
Tunisia national team and Ghanian national team are teams I don't understand. They will lose to smaller teams in every AFCON group stage but when they face Nigeria they will give a hell of a fight.

Floky215:
Israel killed an Iranian RG commander in Syria and have been smoking any Iranian both soldiers, equipment and base they find in the mix with Hezbollah too over there, is that not a direct target?

You people just looking for excuses to cheer up Iran till they get roasted...!!

We are waiting for the return leg on the attack on the kurds

Shebi outside Iran abi? It was in Syria abi?
Yes, Iran has also been killing Israeli soliders outside Israel. Go and read the submission before your comment to understand better how these things work. Both Israel and Iran will not dare hit each other directly. It is always going to be proxy wars

kennosklint:
The guy no wan hear say dem de check var he kuku score the goal well

Lol
this competition dey sweet me
No body want to gree again for anybody

Fira09:
Rule? If not Egypt which has 8 titles, which North African country comes close?

For region of just 6 countries to have Nations cup 12 times compared to west Africa with 17 countries to have won 17 times. That is massive fit.
Also, they rule the entire club african football.
It is a shame that such a small region has such massive records in football on the continent even though they export the fewer number of footballers abroad compared to the rest of Africa

Fira09:
Against Angola? A country with poor football experience.

The one Super Eagles played against has worse football experience than Angola
Abeg, give it to Algeria, they are good abeg.

Fira09:
So France and Algeria are the same? imagine comparing Afcon to WC.

Oga, what he is saying is simple: u cant rate a country poor becus they didnt do well in just the last competition. Some big countries have had poor tournaments too. That does not rule them out in future tournaments. Make una dey use logics for this country na. he is not comparing AFCON with WC.

Angelfrost:
Such a waste... I wish they had overlooked the marginal offside.

It would have been unbeatable.

Same here
Such goal dont come easily in any tournament. The ref for overlook the small offside

Angelfrost:
Hype??! Watch the game... Those Africans play La Liga level of good football!

This is elite football at its finest!

Super Eagles are currently way out of their league in this tournament! God help them!... In short, West Africa needs a miracle to get near the finals.

North Africans have strong football infrustructures and local leagues which help them a lot. That is why they rule in African football. Egypt won Nations cup 3 times in a row with local league players when Ivory Coast has some of the best players in Europe. lol

I am loving this match. North Africans know how to raise game tempo
Aleria dey ball abeg

News like this makes one sick of this country

When we tell u all that Nigeria will not work as long as we are forcing unity, some people think we are blabbing.
Take a look around u, Nigeria is worse than any other country in Africa aside those in real war.
The number of Nigerians killed on monthly bases is more like a country at war.
Centralization of Nigeria in Abuja is very wrong. To fix Nigeria, return the country to regionalism and infact, let the regions come together and decide if they even wish to co-exit. The problem here is that the security has been compromised, poorly funded, and no patriotism. There will be more patriotism if we run nation bases country. Omo, Nigeria is very sick. It will get worse. Unfortunately, the middle class and the poor will pay the price. The poticians will never be victims.
So, the middle class and the poor class need to rise and demand for a new system since this current system has not worked for over 60 years. It is normal for any right thinking human to sit down and think of doing something in a new way if the old method has refused to work.
The terrible issue of security started from GEJ when north wanted presidency by all means. Those boys they groomed have all become bandits now. So, if we have a system where no one is too interested in the central govt, it will help a lot.

AchrafHakimi:
E must go round o

GUNITGuy:
Thanks we like the Tournament like that and enjoyed ever bit of the blunder....You wait till Euro or change to Asia cup matches currently going on you night not see blunders ........

My brother, thank u so much. I am so tired of people like this guy. Always finding faults up and down.

Cutezt:
Omo we still get some way to go for African football o, see person go hustle ball cross am for opponentsl for front of keeper.

Senegal looks like the only decent team so far in this tournament.

Maybe u can go and google funny moments in football and see ur super powerful whites make crazy blunder. No be everything be Africa this, Africa that. Una type don tire me. Watch football or leave the complaint comparing here and there. Africa is not developed and suffered decades of slavery, colonialism and exploitations. Many African countries are still battling the identity crises created by the whites. Many are still finding how to deal with ethnic tensions with their countries like Nigeria, etc.
So, calm down as u judge these countries becus of ur constant watch of European football. Una type don tire me.
Africa has massively tried in development for a continent under the seige of World bank, IMF and European exploitation. Just when Gadaffi was rising to help unite us with one common currency, they eliminated him from the US and France. Make una dey calm down abeg. The tournament has been great.
Among all the people in Africa, Nigerians are the ones that complain too much but cant do anything about their compaints no wonder we have the worse football leagues in Africa becus all we do is sit down and find faults up and down with nothing to contributes. The rest of African home leagues have left us behind. Leagues such as South African league, Egyptian league, Tunisian, Moroccan, Algerian, etc have all getting massively better each year. All we do is sit down, find fault and offer nothing or JAPA

lexy2014:
how will demanding for state police, state control of resources and decentralisation of the police at state level down to the local communities stop kidnapping?

the help you say Nigerians should help Nigeria in terms of " forests and bushes can be converted to an agricultural sites for mechanized farming", how many have you done?

Decentralized police system down to local govt is needed for sucha large multi ethnic country like Nigeria. That is the exact police system the US is running!
Having such a centralized police system we have now is terrible becus ethnic interests can setin and has always happened.

Raze down those forests where they operate, convert them into schools, markets, agricultral sites, industries, museum, shopping malls,
These criminals have disgraced Nigeria for too long. How long will they continue? How much do we hate our selves. Dcentralize the police force down to state level and let every state have their own intelligence gathering system and mout their borders. Enough of all these madness. We cant continue like this.
People need to rise. Few bad ones can not over ride majority good people.

bennybuhari:
What will the kidnappers do with the N60m ransom?

Is there anyway the money could be tracked if spent?

First, Nigerians should demand for complete state police, state control of resources and properly decentralize the police at state level down to local communities that can be well armed. No body knows their community more than the people who live there.

Secondly, pls Nigerians, it is time to help our country. Those forests and bushes can be converted to an agricultural sites for mechanized farming. I dont know why we just love to loot and buy all the fancy things from whites.
Why cant we just use these forests to build amazing agricultural sites for various agricultural products.

Where are non government pressure groups? This is becoming too much. Why are Nigerians keeping quiet?
This is getting out of hand.
The reason white countries are good today is becus when things are bad, the influenctiers and popular among them spoke againt it. Here, the influentiers try to be quiet and mingle with politicians.
If Nigerians for example come out and say they are tired of being kidnapped and ensure that all media both local and foriegn broadcast it, believe u me, this insecurity will be solved within a month.
Why make life easy for ur politicians who have made life hell for Nigerians.
Nigerians are the most unfortunate creatures on earth becus they simply lack every thing good for living.
They have accepted the terrible economic state, they dont even have electricity, they hustle to buy their own fuel. They have moved on to cope with all of these, now, they cant even travel on their roads.
This is not fair. These people would be raped, killed and robbed. I feel so terrible.
To some people, all they care about is their region ruling but Nigerians re suffering.
Can we stop pretending on twitter and agreee that Nigeria is the worse African country ever created.

isan:
Slave , when those European refs make blunders with VAR do you shout Europeans oooo

I wonder o. Nigerians have the worse inferiority complex among Africans. Day in Day out, English Ref commits and no one shouts Europeans o

Angelfrost:
I don't know what you're talking about...!

Do you know when I started watching Afcon and how many I have seen till finals?!!

African football quality has been depreciating for a while now.

That's my opinion and perspective... It has nothing whatsoever to do with Super Eagles or Europe.

Thanksfully, u said ur opinion and perspective.
I watch african football from nation to club level.
And yes, for the first time, an African team got to the semis of FIFA, so African football didnt depreciate.
And Morocco won joint hosting of FIFA world cup, yes, that is progress. Price money increased, that is progress, TV right money massively increased, that is progress. So, I don't know what u are talking about too
