Does this place look like a comedy hall to you, abi wetin be this?

Is there a problem?

mostob:
. When is the return leg?

In 2 weeks time at Mobolaji Johnson stadium

lovewins:
FT Cameroon 0 Nigeria 0

Please how did the Falconets perform?

Can we really beat Cameroon in the reverse leg in Lagos with this result? Any score draw could knock us out ooo

If we beat Cameroon, we would face either Senegal or Morocco. They are not push overs ooo. African female football has grown ooo. No more minnows anymore. Senegal are physically built while Morocco are technically good. This is getting tighter for Falconets especially with this 0-0 draw with Cameroon.

U20 FIFA women qualifiers holds this weekend. Cameroon v Nigeria

lbrichman2:
If I were Peseiro, I would quietly back out
The kain criticism him go receive if we no play well ehn

NFF should bid Peserio farewell and permanent Eguavoen as Eagles coach.

Nna ehhnn! If Osimhen, Dennis, Kalu, Lookman, Ejaria, Ighalo return for World Cup qualifiers, we would be the most dreaded in Africa and the world.

safarigirl:
But is he not beautiful and did he not give a top class block?

He did my dear

NEPA! I forgive you guys

safarigirl:
See how commentator is using Ajayi's block to advise young players


I Stan a man who can look beautiful while making top class blocks

Safarigirlu.... OK now

klexycole:
Unnecessary spill from Uzoho, could have been a rebound goal.

Ndah is decent by the way.

Now I see why Eguavoen insisted on having Ndah

This is the first time in a long while that we play a relaxed football without punching calculators or having high blood pressure.

God we thank you!

fabyom:
Burkina Faso vs Gabon will be a spectacle!

We beat Malawi, we meet either of the above! No easy game at AFCON!

What a tournament!

That's how it's likely to play out.

Sportilitica:
They did

Thank you sir

Samueltemi337:
So if Algeria qualifies as best lossers we are likely to face them in the round of 16 Abi?

We may either face Cape Verde, Malawi, Ghana, Algeria, Sierra Leone in next round.

NEPA have resumed work this night in my area ooo.

Someone please tell me Algeria have lost to EG

Barrister026:
I have a question to ask

APART FROM OKOYE don't we have a better Goal keeper?


Abi hu na nor watch the match?



That guy is tensed whenever the opponents attacks.


Even the commentator made mention of it.


If we are going to go far in this tournament.



OKOYE needs to be replaced.


Because if we meet cameron or senegal na Goals we go just dey pack left and right.
Once they penetrate our defense


Why.



Because the goal keeper is still inexperience.



When watch OKOYE in the pitch I see a kid who still needs massive tutoring before putting him as our number 1




I don talk my own.



You all are ignoring.



The day we go collect!!!!



Na that day hu na go start to cry.



Just take a look at the penalty



Dude is the definition of an amateur.

Seriously... I am afraid of Okoye. His performance is exposing our deficiency. Uzoho should step in the next match

minfelix:
Walai this AFCON jus giving me hint to how our WC play off possible opppents will be
Nigeria vs Egypt
Nigeria vs Ghana
Nigeria vs Cameroon
Nigeria vs Mali
Based on their games so far, which do you guys feel will be easy for us?

I prefer Nigeria v DRC

TheSuperNerd:
Etebo still has a place in this team, trust me. A keen competition he remains for even Frank The Tank. The Depth is good.


@bolded.... Nnachi, Biko ewesola'm iwe... no vex me! Make I call am so that Darkelf & Chriskels will come conduct their football carpentry checks o kwa ya? You sure you want to make heaven?

Respect Boss. Biko gbaharam. My comment was not to cause any controversy. Sorry for the harsh tone in my statement.

TheSuperNerd:
6. Alhassan Yusuf
7. Ademola Lookman
8. Igoh Ogbu (many don't know this lad )
9. Adebayo Adeleye (some don't know him)
10. Abbas Ibrahim (many don't know him too).
11. Ishaq Abdulrazak (several don't know him).
12. Several others including a few of the Naija dual-Nat lads who could still turn to us.

Don't forget the likes of Etebo, Balogun, Onuachu et al would be making a return to the team and the Number 1 Striker himself, Osimhen.

The Depth gets even better Post-Afcon for sure.

But for now, Let's focus on the lads in Cameroun.

Nerdie! Can Etebo still break into SE again with the emergence of these new stars like Frank Onyeka. You didn't even mention Innocent Bonke

Curtisaxel10:
"In terms of preparation and strategy, we had a special plan for Mohamed Salah because we know his quality,” Eguavoen told BBC Sport Africa.

“Basketball is one game that I love so much. When you are playing against the likes of Allen Iverson, Michael Jordan and others, if you don’t double-team you’ll have a problem.

“That is the same strategy that I bring into football. So when Mo Salah is with the ball, the closest person goes to him and the next person has to double-team to make him play back.

“It worked for us like 80%, but Salah broke loose on one or two occasions which is normal, but again congratulations to the boys because they are so intelligent.” - Austin Eguavoen.


Does this man realize that his opponents will monitor his press statements? Why explain your tactics to the world when the tournament is still far from over and you may need to employ the same tactic again? Let Eguavoen bridle his tongue o!

Typical Nigerian coach

drDoom3:
Next game, I would say we send most of our starting lineup to the bench to rest them against future games. We should be able to dispatch Sudan without our starting 11. I think a front three of Ejuke-Sadiq-Simon should do the job. Onyeka should play alongside Nwakali or Aribo. Ndidi is indispensable. Backline too should not change, with Ajayi replacing Omeruo if necessary.

Please let's collect our 6 points and put in the bag before we start doing tumbor tumbor

safarigirl:
I've just been laughing at Watford admin and using Dennis to rattle the Nigerian fans

Na the mumu Dennis I dey laugh pass sha....all the African players that matter are in AFCON. If you no dey Cameroon now, na you dey do yourself.

He really did himself ooo my sister. He should have insisted on playing in the AFCON. I fear that if Nigeria qualifies for World Cup, he may not be considered. Ranieri will then join him with the Italian team to Qatar as part of their supporters club

Seems NFF is still insisting on replacing Ighalo with Dessers

TheSuperNerd:
The Super Eagles had a pleasant Visitor today

Emmanuel Amunike.

Nigeria needs all the support NOW.

Sportilitica:
Ethiopia ranking up silly yellow cards. How did we struggle against this Cape Verde?

Don't you know that it's only SE that makes their ordinary opponent teams look super?

May God help us on Tuesday

TheSuperNerd:
No vex my good man. Biko gbaram. Ejoor biko.

It is inevitable that once or twice every year, I just take a sabbatical from here due to the weight of my offline engagements with work, projects and certain itinerary plans depending on the projects involved and more.

So bear with me. At least, you can be sure of one thing.... I will always return and I will always meet you all hale and hearty by God's Grace.

It is well and thanks for the welcome. Happy New Year Nnachi. Let's rock 2022!

You are welcome my brother. Let's rock and roll.

How about Cyril Dessers? Is he still replacing Ighalo

The Supernerd. You are back!!! Happy new year.

But on a serious note, why do you keep going on this sabbatical leave all the time? We missed you all the while.

Happy new year to YOU all. May TWENTY TWENTY TWO be your year of BREAKTHROUGH

May our football experience a breakthrough. Starting from AFCON

Damioduso1:
Base on report coming out of Watford it was Emmanuel Dennis himself that opt out of the super eagles squad for afcon. He want to start every game at afcon but Austin Egwoavon refuse and said he must fight for a place in the starting eleven

If that is what he demanded, then it's better he stays with Watford but if Nigeria qualifies for World Cup and he is not selected, then he has himself to blame. I think Dennis is arrogant. He should just stay away

marvin906:
What about Vicky Lopez of real madrid..
Hopeful that girl plays for Nigeria

I'm not sure she has been approached by NFF yet

Thank goodness. FIFA has cleared Ashleigh Plumpture to play for Nigeria. Her switch was fast unlike another Leicester male player whose nationality switch process has been for years now.

Plumptre cleared to play for Nigeria

World governing football body, FIFA has cleared England-born defender Ashleigh Plumptre to play for Nigeria,

Plumptre had since committed her international future to Nigeria after playing for England at the youth levels. Since then, the Leciester City defender has now gotten her wish as FIFA has approved his move.

This was initially confirmed by the head coach of the Super Falcons, Randy Waldrum, who told SNA that: "I can confirm to you that Ashleigh Plumptre has been cleared by FIFA to play for Nigeria.

"The notice came to us just before Christmas day. It is a good news for the country and the team."

On her part, the Leciester City vice captain also confirmed the development, while expressing huge joy over the opportunity to represent the West African nation.

"The news is true and I'm so excited about it. It really means a lot to me," Plumptre said.

Thank goodness. Ashleigh's switch was fast unlike another Leicester male player whose nationality switch process has been for years now.
