BRING MIKEL IN FOR ETEBO
ONYEKURU FOR MUSA

Mikel must not play this game.

VAR gives SA a goal and they're on the ascendancy.

1 : 1

Akpeyi please o.

Save this freekick

We need to take this lead into the second half

Game is setting up beautifully for Nigeria.

We remain defensively solid and hit them on the counter.

If we win this match, I want Jamilu Collins confined to the bench subsequently.

Goal. 1 - 0.

Samuel Chukwueze

Nigeria takes the lead

Collins should not have started this match.

Apart from his fitness issues, Aina is better

Impressive victory against a physical, skillfull and defensively solid Cameroun team.

I'll opine that we won not because of Rohr's technical brilliance but naivety and poor game management from Clarence Seedorf and the Camerounian players.

At 2-1 up, Cameroun just needed to adopt the Madagascar template. . .manage the game by sitting back, doubling down, committing more to defense, picking their passes & attacks and hitting on the counter.

I was surprised when the 2nd half resumed and Cameroun came all gung-ho looking for a 3rd goal. Immediately, I saw this approach, I was happy and said to myself, 'we fit equalise and win this game".

Playing an open game, pressing and committing men forward against the present Super Eagles is suicidal. African teams that have beaten us in recent times have done it on the back foot. Think South Africa & Madagascar.

Clarence Seedorf is a brave coach but he needs to know when to adopt attacking and defensive tactics.

Now back to the Super Eagles. . . .Despite the victory, I dare say the best game we've played in this tournament was against Guinea. In fact, Nigeria-Guinea is the best game play I've seen from the team in a long while.

Still, I'll take a victory anyhow it comes.

Congrats to the Super Eagles, Nigerians and Nigeria.

Ekong is giving Omeruo too much work to do.

He should drop off when Omeruo is challenging for the ball so he can pick the second balls

Cameroun scores

1 : 1

Goal!

Odion Ighalo

Nigeria Cameroun 1 - 0

Cameroun has adopted Madagascar's template.

So I learned something new today by chance.

Before now while using the text message app, I find it almost impossible to copy just a specific string of text in a text message. I was left with no choice but to copy the entire message, paste it in a notes app, delete the unwanted text and then copy the specific string I want.

This same problem exists in WhatsApp and other chat apps. You cannot easily copy a specific string of text from a message. You are left with no option but to copy the entire message.

Well long story short, in xiaomi messages app, you can select a specific string of text from a message. Here is how:

First double tap on the message,
Then you can select the specific string you want.

Another reason why I prefer the xiaomi messaging app to the messages app by Google.

The Chinese are taking over.

Great discovery and thanks for posting it.

It will help me a great deal.

Gracias!

IronGalaxy - for arguing vociferously and blaspheming that Percy Tau is better than JOHN MIKEL OBI and Alex Iwobi.

komekn - for his wanton disregard for players not in top clubs in the top 3 leagues.

Meanwhile, people wey no sabi shishi about football on this thread are:

Assured and composed performance from the Eagles.

The team was never under any consistent attacks and pressure from Guinea.

And we grind out the result and qualified for the round of 16.

I couldn't have asked for more.

Oh la la. . . .#SuperEaglesDonQualify

Iwobi and Ndidi dey do premiership solidarity with Keita

Which Kain fair play Ndidi play there so?

jihday:
I swear, and I'm wondering if we watching the same game, save for some few spells we've largely controlled the game

Una eye sight still good and oil still dey you and forgiveness head.

We have controlled the game and had the better goal scoring chances.

Scoreline should read 2 - 0 in our favour if not for unconverted chances.

Humility017:
work rate that translate to nothing...what has the workrate achieved for us so far?

What did Mikel do for the team against Burundi? . . . Please don't come with the argument he was played out of position.

End of First Half

1 : 1.

All to play for in the second half

Humility017:
he has already lost it....
mikel wold have played in for etebo and chuks in for simon

Mikel does not have Etebo's work rate. On Chuks for Simon, I agree

Keeper saves a shot from Iwobi.

Corner kick to Nigeria.

Almost through pass from Iwobi

Selfish play from Ighalo. Should have squared for Musa or cut back for Iwobi.

Nothing to lose.

We need to press up the field.

Penalty against Nigeria via VAR

German player was offside but did not interfere with play.

Goal stands. 1 - 0

Germany scores 1 - 0

The corners for Germany are getting too much o

Khama Billiat is one tricky customer.

Absolute baller!

PDPGuy:
To be fair, I just realized that 11 of the 15 VARs selected for this tournament are from Europe. So, even if we were playing against Cameroon, there would always be a high probability of the VAR being a European.

Are VAR's a special breed of referees that only come from Europe? Last I checked, VAR's are normal match referees who sit behind the screen and monitor the match.

How difficult is it to train referees to monitor screens and alert the on-pitch referee on potential match changing incidences?

Why are the VARs for this FIFA Women World Cup skewed towards Europe?

The fish is not rotten but it's stinking bad.
