Nigeria vs Cameroon!

EQG vs Guinea!

Wow!!

Blessing in disguise for Nigeria

minfelix:
Nigeria’s likely pathway to the final
R-16 Nig vs Gui/Cam 🤪 (choke and nick them)

Qf Alg/Sa vs Nig (play nonsense and advance)

SF Nig vs CPV/Morocco (humble them🤪and send them away)

Final Nig vs Sen (8-1-1 formation, force them to penalty shootout, and snatch the trophy undeservedly 🤣🤣anyone can now go to court and challenge the result)🤪

This will be sweet if real

I have a strong feeling that our 2nd place in Group A may have landed us a little bit of luck that's if we take our chances against either Guinea / Cameroon. If we face Guinea, thank God we played them in a friendly with our B team. If Cameroon , we know their physical and hit and run capabilities already but like Gernot Rohr would say let be humble and take each game one at a time. Jpes rested some players today which should be an advantage to us. Hopefully we can see Alhassan, Lookman, Iheanacho, Moffi, Onyedikachi, Ekong, Musa, Onuachu etc execute the 2nd phase of this tourney.

Mujtahida:
Ironically only naija parked the bus when we realized that our attack is not as sharp as we thought.

Please let Jpes try Moffi, Onuachu, Iheanacho and Musa for the match against Guinea Bissau. I wan check something

BascoVanVeli:
Goodness Osigwe is better than everyone on this pitch. This coach and favouritism

Can't this girl be introduced to Chris Danjuma? May be he doesn't know her capabilities

GeneralDae:
Christopher Danjuma's connection in the NFF is so strong. I don't see any real improvement he brings to his age grade sides and he's been around for a long time now.

This team in my opinion should be rejigged before the World Cup.

True Boss
The attackers are poor. Alot of work must be done before the world cup in Columbia. Chris Danjuma needs to source for quality players who can deliver. We should also get foreign pros

Congratulations to the Super Falconets for qualifying for the 11th U20 WWC.

Nigeria is the first African team to qualify for the 11th U20 FIFA WWC edition in Columbia. Congratulations to the Super Falconets. Alot of work and friendlies are needed to reshape this team. New quality players must be brought in.

Why do SE always put us in this mood? They make us tensed, then they make us use calculator. Why

Oh God, show us mercy and love!

Sportilitica:
3-1
Oh dear.
Now getting scared

See why we should have beaten EG in our first match? Those missed chances by Osimhen must not be repeated today ooo.

Samueltemi337:
Starting XI according to owngoalnigeria
3-4-3


Stanley Nwabali
Ola Aina
Zaidu Sanusi
William Troost-Ekong
Semi Ajayi
Calvin Bassey
Ademola Lookman
Alex Iwobi
Victor Osimhen
Frank Onyeka
Samuel Chukwueze

Seems Jpes wants to park the bus and catch CIV on counter attack. This may look like 3-5-2 formation too ooo

mkrest:
BREAKING: Super Eagles defensive midfielder Osayi-Samuel Bright has been poisoned in Abidjan just few days to Cote D'Ivoire clash and has been immediately ruled out of the game.

The NFF Medical team are yet to ascertain the extent of the food poisoning...
More on this to come.......

Just to frustrate Nigeria but God dey on our side. We will not be frustrated

EEGA:
My observations from our first AFCON game
Defence
Peseiro got it wrong here by playing two sweepers I.e Ajayi and Ekoong, who are poor in ball playing.I mean they are not ball playing central defenders.
Recommendation:He should pair one of them along side Kenneth Omeruo who is the only ball-playing central defender in the team because we need a central defender who can comfortably carry the ball to the midfield.

Midfield
Peseiro started the game with 3 midfielders;Onyeka,Yusuf and Iwobi which is a wrong midfield trio.He started Onyeka in the Defensive midfield role, when he should have been deployed as a b2b midfielder.This is because Onyeka to me is more of a box 2 box midfielder and is always on the bench for Brentford this season.He has barely clocked 350mins of action this season.
Recommendation:Raphael Onyedika should be deployed in the Defensive midfield role for he has been starting all games for Club Brugge this season, including in the Europa league.
He comfortably carries the ball from the defence into the midfield in a majestic way and with accustomed ease.Remember the game against Mozambique.

Attack
He started Moses Simon on the RW instead of Chukwueze.
Recommendation:Chukwueze has a strong left foot and can comfortably shoot from the right unlike Moses Simon who has been playing on the LW for Nantes FC in France.

This is where Jordan Tourinagha would have been effective. Na waya for NFF & Jpes

If this is the same RSA that Nigeria will play in world cup qualifiers than we need to up our game oooo

JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT THAT OUR SUPER EAGLES WERE BECOMING SUPER CHICKENS, WE NEVER KNEW THAT THE BLACK STARS WERE ALREADY BLACK TORCH LIGHTS

safarigirl:
Good evening guys, make I no too talk about our forwards first, what did you guys think about Nwabali between the sticks for us?

Longest time Safarigirl.
As for Nwabili, nothing to really judge him for in this match. Until we meet CIV

yinkeys:
Solid lineup
Peseiro not joking today
Nigeria to win 3 nil

Osimhen and Lookman must not be wasteful in front of goal. Ekong must not make any mistakes at the back. Aina and Zaidu should be wary of overlapping

So Jpes fit bench Uzoho. Na waya ooo!

Nigeria U20 Falconets play Burundi today

Please what time is our game today?

MetalJigsaw:
You mean after his club's game on Saturday? But the AFCON is starting same day.

You no even thank God say him club release am?

Now NFF can see the nonsense plan they and Peseiro made with inviting only 25 players. 2 injured. Moffi and Kelechi under probability. May God help us to scale through the group stage. Now think of it, if Iwobi or Osimhin gets injured, how it will look like.

Hello guys and a happy new year to us all. May this new year be a blessed one for us all and for Nigeria starting from this January's AFCON and U20 Falconets world cup qualifiers with Burundi (home and away).

Please give us updates in the Eagles and Falconets camps

Why is Jpes stubborn and heady abeg? Still insisting on 5MF. Maybe he hopes to convert Boniface, Kels, Musa to midfield

JayromWrites:
I think there are side talks about his story.

It might or not had a hand in his retirement

VicMo also complained about some players of SE then of being fetish

OGN reports that JPes met with VicMo to consider joining AFCON squad and even promised him a spot as he didn't want Ekong or Musa but VicMo told him to forget it and said that chapter has been closed in his footballing career.

Abeg wetin we do VicMo

The last WAFCON edition Esther Okoronkwo also scored 1 goal and gave 1 assists too…

She’s good at getting to goals, just that ACL injury stopped her from playing in the WAFCON.. even going to the World Cup she was just recovering from ACL so I wouldn’t blame Randy too much for not giving her much game time though she proved herself during the World Cup Preparation…

I remember now. Esther Okoronkwo didn't make last WAFCON due to injury. Hope she makes this without injury because she is a potent weapon.

My worry is that we are not seeing more of Rinsola. This Madugu coach is not giving her quality playing time. We need to really know what she can offer before WAFCON

WESTERN AFRICA
Mali 🇲🇱
Nigeria 🇳🇬
Ghana 🇬🇭
Senegal 🇸🇳

NORTHERN AFRICA
Morocco 🇲🇦 (Host)
Algeria 🇩🇿
Tunisia 🇹🇳

SOUTHERN AFRICA
South Africa 🇿🇦
Botswana 🇧🇼
Zambia 🇿🇲

CENTRAL AFRICA
DR Congo 🇨🇩

EASTERN AFRICA
Tanzania 🇹🇿

Every African region fully represented. No more minnows in African women football. West African dominance in African football is gradually loosing grip. WAFU has to really sit up. COSAFA are doing well with organizing tornaments in their region at the moment.

I believe seeded teams for this WAFCON would be Morocco, South Africa and Nigeria. May we not be grouped with Zambia or Ghana ooo
