BankyGee:

😂😂😂😂

Kog45:
Yes on Congo Dr national law regarding nationality we have a strong case but sporting law we have no way but Congo constitution gave us the advantages cuz it supercedes the sporting law.

Congo Dr doesn't recognize dual citizenship but used players with dual citizenships...now left for us to pursue it logically without given any loopholes....good we have a Nigerian,a reputable SAN who is my big brother as member of FIFA Ethics committee

On point. 👍🏿

solonnachi:
Wetin dey happen abeg?

Dey patient...na next month here decision go come out.

elyte89:
Come I noticed u have not said anything concerning this our petition against dr Congo 😏😏…where do u stand? 🤨

Hmmm...I no wan talk..... Nigeria getting it...is 30% ethics...70% commercial consideration. Problem dey ahead.

Procashtips:
Is Honest Anahor not a Nigerian?

He's a DM playing for Atlanta.

He identifies as Italian. It's only his passport issues that prevented him from being invited to the Italian National team last time out.

Hmmmmmm..........DRC...... Loading.........

This is the first time that a host nation has got to an AFCON final and not won it. Morocco can hold that

? What is this?

Going forward from the quarter final stage....CAF should use European and Asian Referees for Officiating and VAR.

Exactly what the tournament deserves...walk off!! Make Una just give am to Morocco.

lbrichman2:
Make una keep quiet abeg
Until them wipe Senegal 2:0 or 2;1, before una appreciate Chelle work

Please Read again.

Remember NFF got $4m just last year when we finished 2nd..
Now they'll get $2.5 for 3rd place.
Tomorrow dem go open mouth say NFF is broke..
They'll been selling this false narrative for years, while they loot and embezzle these funds

It's easy to criticize from the outside, when you get in...you will see it's not so easy. NFF is basically borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. The $2.5m you mentioned has already being swallowed by expenses. Recall bonuses were renegotiated at the AFCON. NSC will advance the funds but the NFF has to retire said Advanced funds to balance the books.

If we had used the wings more against Morocco, we would have beaten them. Hope Chelle is watching for next time and more dynamism in our approach to games.

BankyGee:
Painful.

E dey happen. Make we move on.

Gift Orban scores

Ndidi is a big miss in this match.

Dele-Bashiru likely to start in place of Ndidi.

oloriooko:
by polishing his boot? if you don't know, forget about it

Simple question you no fit answer. Choke Iwobi from making passes how?

oloriooko:
which thing i say match to match, you dey dream?
so in your almighty wisdom, you think they will roll out red carpet for Iwobi to display?
haba bros, this is not rocket science na, for sure they will choke the guy from making those dangerous passes
Also, they will look for ways to make our guys get red carded, its part of their plan all through this tourney

Oga..how are they going to choke Iwobi? You never answer

oloriooko:
Morocco will stifle Iwobi in the MF and Eric better have a plan B and Osayi and Bruno better ready for the game of their lives with Diaz dazzling down the wings

U no dey tire? Same thing you say match by match...how Morocco wan stifle Iwobi? Abeg enlighten us.

9JAMac10:
What i expect Morroco to do is man mark Alex Iwobi, don't allow him freedom to receive the ball, block all passing channels.

SuperEagles will be facing their biggest challenge yet. I get faith we will win this game.

This your suggestion does not make sense tactically, some folks suggested same against Algeria, it did not happen.

TheSuperNerd:
Thank you.

Meanwhile, you get eye for Coach. Kudos again on standing by Chelle since Day 1 (Jan 7, 2025).
You and BankyGee... 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼🫱🏻‍🫲🏼👍🏽👍🏽

Appreciated Doc...Gracias 🙏🙏

TheSuperNerd:
It was not a 4231 structure. You make it sound like we didnt see Onyeka venture forward on the right half space (as RCM) trying a few crosses and that first shot of the first half that was blocked.

Iwobi also fell back (hardly happened as we were on the front foot almost throughout) when out of possession flanking Ndidi to the left. It was a christmas tree diamond 4-3-1-2 structure in defence. Ndidi central, Onyeka (Right), Iwobi (Left) in front of yet compact with the backline of 4.

When attacking it morphed into 3-4-3 or 3-2-5 depending on the positions of the fullbacks pushing upwards. Whenever we get the ball, Osayi and Bruno push up, Ndidi falls behind to the CBs forming a 3 man wall leaving Iwobi and Onyeka a bit centrally deep but also towards the half spaces of the field.

You Sabi ball.

How many of you are watching Nigeria vs Real Madrid live right now?

AAA593:
The super eagles may likely experience the worst officiating in the game against Morroco. The current CAF president is so corrupt and this afcon has witnessed the highest level of corruption in afcon history.

The level of favour on Morroco is just too much. I don't know why every host nation must win afcon under this current CAF president. He almost did same against super falcons but God intervened.

Nigeria is playing against CAF president, Morroco nation, Morroco players, the Ref and his linesmen. Only God will prevail on Wednesday.

Get ready to see cheap free kicks, fouls, penalty etc in favour of Morroco. VAR will used for fouls against Nigeria but will not be used against Morroco.

Na team wey see ball play go use cheap free kicks, fouls, penalty etc to get favor. Morocco no go see ball.

Blueelf:
I am not satisfied with the answer I have gotten so far from this thread

Why did Mali not hold on to chelle? He's the only thing NFF has gotten correct in decades.

Who advised NFF to go for chelle? Because those guys are too dumb to recognise coaching talent when it's staring them in their face. Someone with actual working brains must have lent NFF some of his functioning brain to make that decision

There are some things I just need to understand

Cc thesupernerd, mujtahida, thegoodjoe

Eric Chelle left the Malian Job because the Malian FA was trying to impose players on him. Even the Malian President tried to intervene but Chelles mind was made up. Eric Chelle was the front runner before Finidi was appointed (USA 94 players influenced the sports minister then). Give Eguavoen and the Technical Committee Kudos where it is due. There were only about 4 of us on this forum who supported his appointment then. We saw what we are enjoying now..

Those wey dey shout Algeria midfield...2 man marking on Iwobi....where Una dey? Algeria no see ball play.

Blueelf:
Bro, what did Chelsea tldo to psg last season?

You know we currently play almost like psg

High compliment coming from you in your PSG comparison. Bro make we see how tomorrow go play out.

Blueelf:
Sheriff we go watch match na

You think the Algerian coach is dumb and wo t cut supply form him

Just pray say make una eyes no blur that day

Cutting of supply from Iwobi by Man Marking him is Algeria committing suicide. The Algerian coach is too smart to make that silly mistake.

mekabuachi:
Iwobi who plays from deep will have three Algerian players on him? Leaving alot of space behind, when there's an Adam's, lookman and osihmen who's willing to take advantage of those spaces?
Okay na😂

E no tire you?

What the scoreline was in Barcelona's last game will be the scoreline tomorrow in favor of Nigeria.
