South Africans will be cursing us under their breath by now.

We beat them narrowly in the 2023 AFCON semi finals

And now we've gotten another narrow win in the 2025 WAFCON semi finals

Back then, we beat them in the 2000 AFCON semi finals too

Anytime they hear Nigeria and semi finals in the same sentence, their legs go dey shake

Kibbs:
SA was the toughest test imo and they passed. If Ghana makes it to that final, it will be a bloodbath

I'm more wary for Morocco to be honest.

Cherrybae:
I pray Nigeria lose this match. I stand with south Africa

This is how our enemies expose themselves

Person go just wake up one day carry Chatgpt dey misbehave.

This Nairaland ehn. Crazy people everywhere.

jeffkennedy:
Nigerians should not be under any illusions, the football match against South Africa will be a very tough encounter and will be keenly contested. Forget about the shambolic display of the Bayana Bayana against Senegal in the quarter finals, the South African girls will come out guns blazing tomorrow. The Falcons need to maintain the same standard they showed against Zambia and be focused; hopefully, they will come out victorious. Mission X is possible!

Exactly my thoughts. I can't count the number of matches we've had over the years where it looks like a no-brainer for us to win only for us to come back home empty handed. In my experience, we usually perform our best when we're written off and given next to no chance. The way Nigerians are hyping the Super Falcons after that Zambia match. Hmmm. I just dey take eye dey look.

Now that Osimhen has been relegated to Turkey, is this a good time to revisit the Nwakali/Super Eagles debate?

mekabuachi:
Darling, but you quoted me😂

Quoting and reacting to what you said doesn't mean anything. I also react when I bump into furnitures.

Now move along, Patricia.

charlesemeka85:
But wait ooooo, with all these condition, clause, high wages and big sign on fee if Gala decide to cash in on osimhen in the nearest future na em be say dem go sell am like around 130m-140m Atleast to recoup, make profit, settle Napoli the agreed 10%

I foresee another fight btw osimhen and gala in 2-3 season time 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was just thinking the same thing. Transfer market is big business and a club like Galatasaray will be looking to make huge profits from someone like Osimhen if/when the time is ripe.

The plot thickens.

mekabuachi:
You've been noticed.

Your attention is insignificant.

mostob:
Don't please... Pray it shouldn't happen. Don't jinx it

Naturally I'm used to our national teams flopping when it matters the most or when it seems obvious that we should win.

You obviously know I'm coming to the next match with 50kg bag of salt.

ekehopp2:
WAFCON IN 2022, South Africa, Morocco and Zambia all beat Nigeria.

WAFCON in 2025. Nigeria beat Zambia. South whipping loading, and we finish the job against Morocco (most likely).🙏🏾

I pray this happens. It will be poetic justice... sort of.

I really want our Super Falcons to face off against South Africa but the way these girls are playing they might just crash out before we even get the chance. Smh.

mekabuachi:
Sao tome?? Lol
Far back in 2023👀
God abeg make I no talk wetin dey my mind 😂😂

You're saying far back as if it was in the 80s lol

CornOak:
He just did that.

Ucheibe, Abiodun, and Osoala have been subbed in.

Una sure say that man never open account for Nairaland dey peep tactics?

Like play like play our super falcons dey use almighty Zambia take stat pad.

E be things o.

Truidstarr:
I no tell una!!!! All the fear fear people how far?

I'm licking my wounds in joy.

You go explain tire.

I'm sorry but I'm not going to buy into the optimism. The SF performance so far simply doesn't inspire me to do so. I won't even watch the full 90 mins. Plus, I'd honestly prefer to be wrong tomorrow and have people come here to say, "I told you"

I don't trust Madugu's strategic approach.
I don't trust our capacity to finish.
I don't (fully) trust our defense.
And I definitely don't trust our PK chances. Nnadozie will most likely turn up, but besides that idk...

Whoever wins this game though, it will be a close fight. That I'm sure of.

Madugu might be in for a rude awakening this Friday. I just pity the fans.

Link oo abeg

Pickieox:
Story for the gods. Don't go and get useful with your life, continue writing Redpill sh-it🤣🤣🤣

Lol. If anything he was criticizing the Redpill. You would have seen that if you READ the OP.

It's actually concerning that many people here like you seriously don't read comments before replying.

Furthermore if you say he's jobless, then what are you doing replying on thread of somebody that is jobless? At least he has a purpose here. What is your own purpose?

Kai. Nigerians no sabi do sociological analysis on any subject. So according to your ramblings, ethnicity is the fundamental factor responsible for generational poverty? Not a lasting culture or system of corruption?

TheGoodJoe:
We won the previous edition of the tournament. So we the Cityzens are good.

That's just you trying to soften the blow of your loss, but I understand. No wahala.

TheLoneCitizen:
Only his mom, who just lost two sons will grief more than Jota's wife Rute.

Just 11 days of marriage.

God this is so so horrible. Becoming a widow in a couple of days just like that. 💔

TrebleChamp:
Tinubu that didn't lose Election as the only opposition Governor in southwest during a power drunk OBJ era, will lose a Presidential Election he will oversee? Make una dey give unaselves hope dey go, me don accept fate say Thiefnufu will be President for 8years (unless death happens) and handover to his preferred candidate in 2031 (whoever that person would be).

Maybe this is why Kwankwaso is joining APC, some report say Thiefnufu will ditch Shettima and choose Kwankwaso as his Vice-President in 2027...

These are my exact sentiments

OasisX:


......don't mix it up, Politics and Governance ain't same - and Yes, Politics is a game.

They're not the same, but in a real democracy you can't separate them in the practical sense of it. Politics is a game, agreed. But it is also a game that directly determines who gets to make decisions that affect an entire country. Politics and the way it's handled easily translates to how governance is also handled.

Jokers like you get too inebriated with the vanity of your so-called political strategies and chess moves that you can't see that real people are suffering real consequences in the real world. And now you've just proven it in this response to izzou.

I don't mind the fact that you're clearly insensitive, but at least have the balls to own up to your lack of humanity.

opes:
New Super Falcons Jersey. Beautiful design from Nike.

May our games be as distinctive and colorful as our jerseys. Amen.

Na illiteracy cause am. The average rural Nigerian doesn't fully understand the concept of human rights. Nobody was violated. It was an act carried out by two consenting adults. The only thing violated here is the trust of the woman's husband.

TheGoodJoe:

We still out played Al Hilal. So no beef.

This isn't premier league. They needed a win to advance. In the next 10 years nobody is going to care more about Man City outplaying Al Hilal at the 2025 World Cup than Man City losing to them.

Madam pick the toaster that suits your taste. They're relatively cheap.

We are going – Nwabali confident Super Eagles will qualify for 2026 FIFA World Cup

Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has expressed confidence in Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite their current precarious position in the qualifying group.

Nigeria, three-time Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) champions, sit fourth in their World Cup qualifying group, trailing behind key rivals with just four games left to play. Only the group winners will automatically qualify for the global tournament scheduled to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Of course he has no choice but to express optimism. Nothing new to see here.

BankyGee:
She's the best in the world currently. Nothing anybody wan tell me.

I know this by watching her many times for club and country and I still statistically compared her with the ones they've been giving world best all these while and she's better than all of them.

Make she see top club sign for abeg. She's too too good, makes goalkeeping look damn easy.

Better than Mary Earps? Forgive me for asking but outside the last women's world cup I haven't really watched much of Nnadozie.
