andrewbaba44:
What’s wrong saying he can’t go beyond this World Cup ?

The tournament wey balogun go Wetin him play

Poor afcon and poor World Cup but you think he can still go to another World Cup at 38

Stop crying oga

Saying Balogun did not perform at the world cup is exposing your ignorance, everybody was poor at the Afcon I'm sure you can't say anybody that performed at the Afcon, you know he has been our best defender over the past years that's why you had to go 3 years back to find material to slander him

andrewbaba44:
He is not a bad player Baba and he hasn’t done bad for the eagles

Me I just said I don’t see him going beyond this World Cup

[s]But he was not good at the last afcon remember [/s]

Afcon was last 3 years my friend go and sit down, Ighalo was our highest goal scorer last Afcon and I don't see you calling for him back

andrewbaba44:
You are asking who will bench balogun as if he is one Thiago Silva

Was he even close to omeruo at the last afcon ? Not saying he is not better then omeruo

The 2 tournament balogun played with the eagles how did he perform ?

Wetin balogun play for last World Cup and afcon ,abeg tell me ,this one wey you say nobody fit bench am

Balogun was our best defender in our last matches that he played you are asking about last Afcon and world cup like they were not played 3 years ago and 4 years ago, I want to know who performed at last Afcon in your opinion

The Algeria unbeaten run and the matches play.
in Algeria 35 unbeaten run they had 10 draws( 2 friendlies and 8 Qualifiers all against them ranked lower than them)

Interestedly, Algeria were 13th in Africa and 67th in the world before the unbeaten started.
Now they are second in Africa and 29th in the world.

Cc: Subzero

Note: this AFCON matches have not been updated

You are intentionally hiding information here during their unbeaten run they beat Tunisia, Senegal (twice), Colombia, Nigeria (twice) while their draws included teams like Tunisia and Mexico who were above them at the time of the rankings, they also dispatched minnows like Djibouti, Niger, Botswana and Mauritania with a cumulative score of 37-1 over the course of 3 years which makes it one of the best runs in the world during this period if you show me how they have not managed to be the best in Africa and how Morocco especially had a better run then I would take you seriously

mk thunder strike u there

Who Dey talk nonsense? Fool

Look at this one because I called you out for talking nonsense

Papi85:
[s]With the look of things balogun should just retire from the national team[/s] unless em go accept to Dey chop bench

Can’t wait to have osimehn and Dennis back to the team also with the inclusion of uncapped ademola lookman

Michael olise I hope he makes up his mind soon cus he will be a great addition to the team while eze should continue waiting for England. Rangers bassey should also be given a chance. He is versatile and will be a great asset to the team as cover for the LB and CB position

Also eguavoen and the nff should reach out to udinese’s udogie, he will be a good competition for zaidu and better than Collins

You open your mouth just dey yap nonsense, Balogun was good when the team was shit now that he has to bring a ball playing dimension to our better team you are saying make he retire and don't mention age because defenders don't retire at 32

TheGoodJoe:
You have not seen Balogun under Eguavoen to judge. He might turn out sublime.

Balogun was superb under Rohr imagine how well he will be playing now

Papi85:
Who else noticed how ekong joins the attack and one of his adventures going forward resulted to the 2nd goal against guinea

Ajayi also joined the attack, he almost got on the end of Sadiq's goal

Mujtahida:
You often comment with so much belligerence. It makes conversation with you difficult.

What?

Mujtahida:
That Ajayi would have been a great defender if he had just a little bit of added pace

He has enough pace he is just lacking in concentration

Mujtahida:
Even in defense, he was shaky. I wasn't too impressed and he was clearly tired

Na you watch that one he was solid in defence

Is Ivan Toney really that good?

Erickax:
Just say u didn't see d stats

I watched the match I don't need stats to know who played well

[s]

Erickax:
Poor performers where
Nwakali
Iwobi
Sadiq
Ebuehi
Ejuke abi na Ekuke
I pray they neva get anoda chance In this tourney.
Mk dm no forget to give Iwobi book and pen 4 bench sha bcus d guy need to learn how to play football or im not dy see baba Moses

[/s]

Just say you didn't watch the match

Odunayaw:
Ndidi shuts haters forever!

How could any sane human being hate Ndidi

Ebuehi verdict :

I would say I was a little bit disappointed, he was comfortable in defense but he was not very adventurous in attack well, scorecard 7/10

JohnBullMySon:
Whenever you analyse football, try not to be biased. It's not everytime you keep saying that the player you love more is better without any evidence.

The gospel truth is that both Uzoho and Maduka have hardly been tested in this tournament to know who is better. Only Maduka has has had a save against Salah, but still not enough to make a judgement.

My assessment of Maduka is mostly based on club performance.

Uzoho exuded more confidence in this match than Maduka in the last two matches played together if you can't see it then maybe you are the one with the bias

Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you

Nwakali out now!

JohnBullMySon:
No be by face oh

If Uzoho is better, it will show, calm down.

It has already shown

Uzoho gives me confidence in goal

Ejuke did a good defensive job today I will not hear anything else

Simon comes in immediately and tells Jamilu Collins

'Bros abeg help me dey overlap'

Sadiq please na

Guinea Bissau will score in the second half if we don't fix up

elyte89:
Ebuehi is decent but abeg no compare am with aina again for dis thread

Ebuehi has been playing as a wingback which he is clearly not comfortable in, judge him when he gets to play his main position

IDENNAA:
This Guinea Bissau are the strongest team we are playing in this competition so far...they are tough, very tough

Yes that's what I'm saying

I will not judge Ejuke on this match because Jamilu Collins has given him zero options on the overlap

Papi85:
nwakali hv been good but off the ball he is minus 1

Ndidi is suffering in that midfield

Iwobi and Iheanacho are not helping matters

IDENNAA:
Calm down , you are playing a very physically and tactical side.

Yes that's why

Ejuke nice tackle
