Sierra Leone will likely qualify in this group

Musa scores for Sierra Leone

JohnBullMySon:
Games like this are where you know a strong keeper. When the team is an underdog. He might move to Europe after this AFCON.

The keeper is doing excellently well.

This No 6 for Sierra Leone, Bankole must be a Nigerian. Ivory Coast scores

Samueltemi337:
eguavoen is anger with Sadiq
Said he didn't follow his instructions

The coach should calm down abeg, it is not everything you tell the press. Simple tell the press the players did well.

seankafor:
Umar sadik needs to up his game for him to retain his seat bench spot when the big wigs are back

There will be no space for Sadiq when big guys join . Awoniyi will be on the bench but for Sadiq no space

I want to see Ebuehi and Onyekeru Henry in the next match. Sadiq should dey bench

Coach abeg no play Sadiq again o

Hahaha Sadiq shot?

PDPGuy:
This may be the last game he will play in this tournament

the guy just fall like Nigerian naira

Referee? Advantage ball

Pidginwhisper:
Okoye should thank the defense in front of him. Man is average

He is the weak link in the team

Sadiq na complete farmer 0 dey fall anyhow

Nawa ekong with long balls

Awoniyi needs to be more clinical

Chai 3 goals we dey 5 to spell SUDAN

The Sudanese players sabi run but defense is weak. We should stop long balls and play short passes

Chukueze needs to release ball on time for good counter attack. It appears he is not in the best form compare to 2019 Afcon .The Sudanese defense is very weak. Nigeria can make it 4-0 if the coach make tactical change

andrewbaba44:
Red card can be issued after the game is over

No be new thing be that one

b Of course I know that , it is interesting to see another drama today like Ghanaians players want to beat the referee.

Too much unnecessary comparison arguments on Awoniyi and Osihmen.This is uncalled for. When you debate here try to put aside your sentiment and hatred against any player you don't like.

This Afcon get too much drama. A few days the referee blew the final whistle at 85& 89 mins. Today red issued a red card after the match is over ( Ghana vs Gabon ) . I hope this drama go stop before the knock-out stages.

safarigirl:
Based on first half games, the standout teams have to be

Cameroon
Sierra Leone
Nigeria
Equatorial Guinea

I did not see the Mali and the Gabon games, so, I won't speak on the teams from those games. But from Round 1, these 4 teams stood out for me. Looking forward to Round 2 and a clearer picture.

Well said sir ,however Sierra leone may not go far , they have poor strikers who wasted several chances against Algeria.

garfield1:
Too early to tell. Our team was average while the Egyptians were vverry poor

It appears you watch back of the TV. Our team was not average. We had 15 attempts on goal with accurate passes. Even when commenters said Nigeria plays beautiful, Where is the average coming from? The Egyptians were not poor, but they were tactically defeated by the superior play of the super eagles.

TheGoodJoe:

And Iheanacho should know he stands to earn more if he gets to an offensive side and plays regularly. He has the capacity to earn the hundreds of thousands of pounds weekly. If he can move to where he will get playing time in an offensive system. Keep the contract short

well said sir, I hope those who are close to him will tell him this truth

Nice goal from Kelechi. I strongly believe he needs to leave Leicester and go where he will play regularly to maximize his potential. Maybe he stayed there because of money but then he would achieve more if he played regularly

Samueltemi337:
Rohr nor bad like that


he nor go start musa

Musa would have come in if Rohr was the coach

Nigeria played Egypt without receiving yellow cards. Well done coach and the boys

12large1:
Ejuke would had done better at this game

hahaha u saw Ejuke later Nah? Football is not about dribbling and showing skill only

Omeruo and Ekong can't hold Salah... Bla bla... How far? Rohr finished our team with fear.fear. whatever happen in this tournament ,I am happy to see the coach making changes at 70 +mins, bringing in a striker and a winger.

Strugglingman:
First of all ask yourself and be honest ....

Did moses simon drop this kind of performance under rohr in recent years?

It is the pattern of play of the coach Nah, if watch him play in his club you know that he is a good player , he just need to improve on his crosses

zuchyblink:
Troost impressed

tomorrow when he make mistakes you go crucify him.

dijon:
Eguavoen is not different from Rorh, same thing complained about Gernot, same thing Eguavoen is doing....

No creative midfielder
Playing Aribo deep
Kelechi will be lost in the final third of the half because he would not see much ball to link with Awoniyi if Egyptian coach play a compact midfield game.
Starting Simon to assist in defensive duties (Rorh all over again) to limit his expressive play down the flank.

I pray and wish we anyhow win this match today because am seeing a very boring and frustrating match for the Eagles based on the tatic and personnel in play.

Pray all goes well for my super Eagles.

how far with this analysis " Egypt play compact football " Nigeria had 15 attempts on goal while Egypt had just 4
