BALLOSKI:
ah swear! I had to check the timestamp. I was already thinking she's good in analysis.

me sef shocked when I saw my exact comment. I think she later deleted it when I caught her

BALLOSKI:
I saw this comment somewhere and I thought you stole it, but No, you didn't steal it. The other person did. 10:35pm and 10:59pm. You posted first.

On Twitter, right? I saw it. I was shocked. How low can humans become?

Aile:
The headquarters shouldn't have been relocated to Abuja in the first place. Lagos is the economic center of the nation

Decentralize Nigeria becus u cant be moving nigeria's properties to lagos and still insult people who wish to migrate to Lagos.
Make them decenralize Nigeria o becus Nigerians wont learn until all these cause wahala full scale. Let every region have and control their own capital and resources.

uniquetechng:
The policy worked back then because the other teams competing didn't have much stars playing in top European teams, in the last year final Senegal fielded a starting eleven that had 11 players who played in top 5 leagues in Europe including Mendy and Mane, the Moroccan team that got to the semi final of the world Cup had over 18 players playing in top 5 leagues in Europe.
It may also interest you to know that in the past Egyptian Premier League don't allowed foreign players, in the last few years that ban has been lifted and some of the best players in the league like Percy Tau are foreigners.
Times have changed, Al Ahli cannot even stand an Everton team, it worked in the past doesn't mean it will work in 2024.

This is funny becus when they won it, Ivory coast had the best and most expensive first 11 in Africa with the likes of Drogba, Yaya, and their likes who were global stars. Ghana had bloody 11 with Essian and their likes. Even Nigeria had great team of talented European based players.
Oga stop this. Even the last nation cup, Egypt had more home based players and they went to the finals. What happened to the other teams with their top European players or as at 2019, the so called European players arent there?
I dont understand ur logics.
If na by players in Euorope, Nigeria for dey win AFCON every year! Ivory Coast with her stars was prevented from winning AFCOn by Zambia. Infact Ivory coast always had stars abroad and has won AFCON only once which is just recent.

Check this fact bro:
§ Egypt have reached the AFCON Final in five of the last six tournaments that they have participated in winning in 2006, 2008 and 2010 while they were runners up in 2017 and the 2021 edition.
This is a record to beat. Egypt did this with between 90 to 97 percent home based players.
Egypt current problem is Salah. I have watched them play. Every single player wants to pass the ball to him. These players wont take their own chances and this happens a lot when u have one big star. It has happened to Nigeria too and many countries around the world. It makes the country to underachieve at that era.
Immediately Salah left, Egypt played their normal game and if they can continue to bench Salah or bring him during second half, they will be a team to beat.
The record I post above is a record to beat by any team in Africa with their top European based player. Egypt has a solid home base league and football Academy that groom players. If they ever make the same mistake Nigeria made by abandoning their league to embrace only European based player, they will become like Nigeria

Ahly can not stand Everton, u are a big sentimental person. I dont base judgement on pure sentiment. Let them play first. Make Everton come play first. Guy, football doesnt work that way. I just submitted a reecord to u. What do u have to say? I present to u facts and not sentiments. playing 6 finals with 2 having to be recent is not child's play. And winning 3 out of the 6 finals no be beans. At all the times Egypt did this, African team like Nigeria had players all playing abroad. So, why arent they meeting the same record Egypt has set with home based players? If u dont have answer to these questions logically and not sentimental analyses, pls dont reply me again.

khattab02:
7 please

Still highest in the continent and only team to win it 3 times in a row. That is bravery abeg. In a continent with many national teams whose players play in top flight football in Europe, Egypt ruled with home based players.

uniquetechng:
Salah plays a different role for Egypt, he is actually their chief creator and often switch to the number 10 role unlike Liverpool where he cuts in from the wings to score goals.
Egypt's policy of relying on home based players from All Ahli, Zamalek, Future and Pyramid FC to execute international tournaments is their problem not Salah, Mo worked hard to take them to the final last year.

How can that be their problem when they used same policy to win 8 AFCON? Come on guy. They used that same policy to be a global threat when they met Brazil and showed class. Baba, the problem is that the players want to pass all the balls to Salah. Cant u see as he left, the players became very determined to play their normal games, drimble, shoot the ball. There is this intimidation when u have a global star around u, ur squard immediately feels that the global star should take all shots. This was the problem with Ivory Coast too during Drogba era. Same reason Argentinal struggled at world cup too.
U saw a different Egypt as Salah left. I hope the coach can see this and not start Salah during their next match. Cant u see how the forwards now play great football.
Omo, Zamalek and Ahly are reliable club and have done it over and over again for Egypt. Na from there Aboutrika came out from who was mentioned by Jose Morihino as a superb player to watch. Egypt won AFCON 3 times in a row with these players. They deliver, they arent ur regular Nigerian club abeg.
nigeria that uses all foreign based players, how many AFCON have we won? Dont forget that Egypt also played final in the last edition.

BreconHills:
You don't need to be great in the group stages to win a tournament, you just need to keep growing into the tournament. Argentina lost to some middle east team in Qatar and still won the WC. Nigeria lost their first match 1-5 to Algeria the last time it held in Algeria and still made the final.

Momentum not brilliance.

But Nigeria rarely win the competition shaaa

SmartyPants:
Then you've not been watching the games. The Super Eagles have created tons of chances across the two games. If Osimhen finished better today, Chukwueze and Osayi decided to pass on separate occasions when they were 2 against 1 with the Ivorian defence, the scoreline would have looked very different. Same thing with the first game. I say this to say that there has been no element of luck in Nigeria's attacking play - winning a penalty is not luck either.

If u create chances and cant score, u have problem. lol that is even major problem.
If u cant score in open space, at least rely on set pieces. This is why Nigeria hardly do well in major competitions. No be today bro. Na why for AFCON sef, they hardly do well. No be today it started

Ddonoflife:
U need one chilled beer this night...what shall it profit a team to entertain fans lose and then go home leaving the fans in premium tears..
Like someone said it's all about momentum...teams grow better as they progress in a tournament..ask Argentina

But super eagles rarely win any major competition. So, they have been like this for years? They go still come home. Egypt sef was a finalist in 2019 and has been very consitent in either semi finals or finals. Lol, na team be Egypt o. They have won it 8 times. Them senior super eagles o. Abeg, forget patriotism

Kushites:
SHUT UP.

Ghana made basic defensive errors and you defended them, saying ''it is part of football''.

And the guy asked you, ''if Nigeria made the same mistakes, would you say the same?'' and you start talking rubbish. Idiot. Just get lost. I hate your type.

Self haters always feeling inferior to other countries.

G^d go purnish ur generation for insulting me. Thunder fire ur f^&lish a$s.
Super eagles has been poor, Ghana has been poor. I only talked about him talking trash about the game we are all enjoying. B%asttard like u had to resort to insulting me. U fit follow me talk for real life? Did I mention ur name? And how come people like u cant deal with the opinion of others without insult and cussed words? E no go better for ur entire generation, b%stard.

Kingcid:
Too much blabbing

Nigeria is in a more secure spot to qualify to the next stage than your entertaining Egypt

Try dey Rest

Qualify and do what exactly? Egypt is in a harder group than Nigeria. But pls rest. Egypt was a finalist last edition while Nigeria was eliminated from the round of 16. Abeg rest. I know u are speaking out of patriotism.
Nigeria is coming home at most round of 16. The team cant play good free kick, corner kicks are poor, their set pieces are terrible. Relies on luck to win matches. Such luck cant take u far in competitions that is why Super Eagles rarely win any major competition.

foleskay:
Abeg go sit down. U know football but giving vague analysis here. If u really know football u won't write off Nigeria in this tournament. No loss from the boys still u still gnashin teeth here condemning d boys. U think its easy to win a host team at home not to talk of a string team like ivory coast. Getatt

U are speaking from pure sentiment. I dont have ur time. Super eagles is not favourite to win the cup. We are here. We go see am. Host nation? Ivory Coast that has been very poor for years now. lol
Na una type dey always support nonsense. Na so Nigerian missed out on last world cup. E go clear for una eyes. Make Morocco catch Nigeria first. Lol, this one super eagles dey play? No be wetin I dey see?
Poor set piece, poor corner kicks, poor free kick. How u want to win a competition when u lack in all of these?
Becus u manage to get one lucky penalty? Ur type will always hype Nigeria even if it is collapsing. I know ur type.
Super Eagles for now is poor and terrible. South Africa eliminated Egypt as host nation. Cameron was host nation and was eliminated too by a team. E no mean bro.

Ddonoflife:
What's d essence of entertaining your fans without winning your match. Naso okocha entertain us yet em no win Africa d best...y not entertain and win.at least 9ja don win one match .

It is funny u mention Nigeria. Oga, super eagles for now is a useless team. Just know this. The Egypt u talk about has 8 times. Abeg calm down. Nigeria no be Egypt mate. Nigeria is in a very easy group

Easybet1:
This is more entertaining than Nigeria match, great team work, different skill, excellent goals etc ... This is far better than the kick and follow football I watch this evening

Dont mind the guy. I know his type. lol
They are the ones who support Nigeria even if it is falling apart, they call it patriotism. They dont know that patriotism is actually saying the truth that can help ur country. Lol

Goke7:
If Nigeria made those errors you will say this abi

I am not your regular person here. I know football. But super eagles arent good for now. It is just the fact. No need to lie. And they cant win the cup. That is for sure.

Goke7:
This a more useless game, Ghana had no business conceding those goals while the Egypt keeper is an Egyptian version of uzoho what a yeye match

In football, errors are part of the game. And that Egyptian keeper is one of the best keepers in Africa. Best footvallers in the world make mistakes.
back passes are part of the game and they happen globally. The striker was fast enough to catch the player off guard. This is a fantastic game. I dont know what u are watching

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.

okerekingsley90:
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.

Saturnalia:
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

Fira09:
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
