Ahh. Dem no even reach house first?

North African teams blood dey hot 🔥. No need for explanation but they forgot he qualified the team for the world cup

minfelix:
Na so all the North African teams go dey jah one by one…i see only Morocco bullying Tanzania and escaping to quarterfinals…
DRC go beat Algeria
Benin go pursue Egypt go house

I want a West African final . All northern teams should go home

caprikon:
Tunisia have good organization but deservedly failed to scale the R16. Don't see them representing Africa well at the mundial though they WC qualification record is impressive.

They will not perform .

They will always mess up at the world cup

Mali scale through

Chai Tunisia dey luck o 😂 2021 Nigeria got red card and lost to them and now Mali 10 players battling them . That 2021 Sadiq lost one one one chance .A red card always affect the team .

Goke7:
It’s terrible from what we all watched and saw in the last Afcon this is a huge step backwards.

Don’t even care who wins this competition anymore let it just end and we all move on

I hope CAF will not dash Morocco the trophy . Any slight challenge against Morocco ref will check VAR

OMG

Second day of the year. Bus driver placing runs girl on daily allowance . May the Lord reset your brain 🧠

TheSuperNerd:
Watched replays again and again and Sarr was offside. VAR even refused showing us the lines that show he is on. They just decided to give this one.

The officiating in this AFCON appears controversial and questionable,even with VAR the officiating is below standard

The officiating in this AFCON is quite below standard , I thought VAR will always be a great help but for this tournament confusion here and there . I hope CAF won't dash host the trophy with poor officiating

Senegal is hot 🔥. I hope Nigerian team can see how to deal with underdogs ,don't wait till second half to be finding equalizer

9JAMac10:
Nigeria 🇳🇬 can beat this Senegalese team if they are committed and determined enough to beat them. Nothing really spectacular about this Senegal team

Beat Mozambique first ,then beat Algeria / Congo

We always conceed goals in all our matches
From Gabon to Tanzania and Uganda . Mozambique will score but Nigeria should buried chances so that by 75mins we have 4 goals.
I am sure 😃 CAF will like Morocco to play final as compensation. It appears refs are intimidated by north African teams and officiating appears to favour them

The Nigerian team is formidable and capable of winning AFCON but my concern is the coach getting the selection right. More importantly team management after 75min seems to be the major problem. We easy conceed goals after 75mins
Nigeria vs Lesotho , we almost gave Lesotho an equalizer
Nigeria vs Zimbabwe. They score towards the end
Nigeria and Tanzania . Tanzania almost equalize
Nigeria vs Tunisia - we almost drew the game after leading by 3goals
Nigeria vs Uganda . 10 men Uganda scored .
After 75 mins it appears the team will sleep off.

Blueelf:
Unpopular opinion but Benjamin fredrick is too short to be a world class centre back

His height will prevent him from reaching his full potential in that position

He's better in a full back or defensive midfield position

Chidi Nwanu is not tall ,even Baresi of Italy was not tall. His height will not hinder him

[quote author=TheSuperNerd post=137986460]Kenneth Omeruo was 19 yrs at Afcon 2013 when he made his major tournament debut and shone like a million stars.

Ogenyi Onazi was 20 at same Afcon 2013.

Benjamin Frederick at 20 was already bound to start at Afcon 2025 but for injury.

Will Nigeria give a 19y/o such a chance you asked?? Something that has happened and is still bound to happen.
Hmm

CapitalCee:
But you addded Morocco who last wom AFCON 40 years ago and has been to less WC than Tunisia. Im African Football Tunisia is more of a power house than Morocco and Senegal.

The real Power House in African football are Cameroon, Egypt, Nigeria, Ghana Tunisia and Algeria

Tunisia is not a powerhouse , infact Tunisia is a waste of slot at the world cup . When last Tunisia played semi finals at AFCON?
18 matches at the world cup
3 wins ,5 draws and 10 losses. They have never progressed beyond the group stage.
Senegal played quarter finals in 2002 and round 16 in 2022.

Tunisia is not power house in African football . How many AFCON Tunisia won ?
What is Tunisia performance in all her world cup participation ?
When last Tunisian player win African player of the year ?
Based on current and past results Tunisia is not power house in African football

FiveFootNinja:
Meanwhile Cameroon dodges the Nigeria bullet.

Nigeria is also 😊 to avoid Ivory coast and Cameroon at this stage

A relief 😮‍💨 for super eagles

Nigerian coach said he is now having headache after the Uganda game . He said headache is caused by selection challenge .What is the best line up ? For me
Adams Osihmen. Lookman
Ndidi Onyeka Iwobi
Bruno Bassey Ogbu Osayi

Mozambique should not be underrated, they are fast but I still prefer Mozambique to Cameroon or ivory coast at this stage

Gabon is leading but they are out . Even if they win by 10 goals .Nigerians praying to avoid Ivory coast.
As it stands now .The table shows
Cameroon
Ivory coast
Mozambique
Gabon
Ivory coast currently second on the table due to head to head against Mozambique. Nigeria will meet Ivory coast if Mozambique wins

Munashak:
Nigeria can take on anything at the moment. We only lack leadership at the defence and a good keeper. We have a good bench

If the coach make right selection. The coach said he is having headache over selection

TheSuperNerd:
Chelle's 4-3-1-2 dynamic variant setup is the formation to expect in the KOs.

Bruno at LB. Bassey and Ajayi at CB. Osayi/Ryan at RB.

Midfield 3 of Ndidi (Captain), Onyeka and Iwobi.

Lookman in the hole but close to the front 2 of Osimhen and Akor.

It would be hard to fit Onyedika into this setup from the start unless you want us to sacrifice Onyeka because Ndidi and Iwobi are sure starters and are also on fire at this Afcon.

Moses Simon is not even a starter anymore so Kennysville, your kind suggestion wont exactly fly.

This should be the permanent line up for the super eagles unless there is tactical changes
Adams Osihmen and Lookman upfront
And three midfielders - Iwobi, Ndidi and Onyeka , Onyedika can come in 70 minutes for any of these trio . Simon has no business starting any game ,but it appears the coach love 😘 him .

Kog45:
Hmmm,come see comments here on Onyedika and Bashiru before the kick off as if Iwobi,Ndidi and Onyeka are Iniesta,Xavi and Basquet...getting real performance in the middle Onyedika is the man or else we get knockout as competition progresses.

Well said . Onyedika deserved playing time . Someone who played champion league matches but relegated to the super eagles bench

lbrichman2:
And both of them be butty o
Only that Dessers hasn't played in this AFCON yet

Yes o 😂 ajebutter

lbrichman2:
Sad for both of them

African football ⚽ na jam body and very rugged . I wish them swift recovery

Kog45:
I don dey talk am Onyedika na baller,just see how sleeky the was today, beautiful to watch.

He did very well. I wonder 🤔 why Cheille kept him on bench against Congo and Gabon . Was the coach ignorance of his ability or something else ?

robosky02:
The super Eagles confirm thier leadership of group C winning all games with maximum 9 points.

Round of 16 will be expecting

Good results however we need to exercise caution. In 2021 we topped the group with 9 points and lost to Tunisia in second 16

The team has done well , however we need to work on the defense line ,and not be carried away. In 2021 , we defeated Egypt and won the group with 9 points but lost to a depleted Tunisian team with covid 19. The coach should work more on team management and our players should take chances. Moses Simon should be on the bench . Adams , Osihmen and Lookman should lead the attack . No need experiment with Chukueze in the middle .
The midfield should be Iwobi, Onyeka or Onyedika and Ndidi

JayromWrites:
Salim Fago Lawal - No of Cap for Super Eagles : 01

Hahaha 😂 if na me I will say " coache no worry I no 🙂‍↔️ wan enter again " The coach should have removed Simon or Chukueze and allow other players taste action
