Make una continue to the hype this SA team. Na here we dey

Many people for here no Sabi ball.

solonnachi:
If FIFA eventually favours DR Congo, Nigeria should bring in Gift Orban into the SE.

Why Gift Orban? Is his profile different from what we have on the ground already?

CapitalCee:
Lol.
-Same Senegal than won their 3 matches in the last AFCON, yet comot for round of 16.
The other examples I can remember just from the top of my head are.

-Morroco last AFCON, they won all their matches and was knocked out by SA that barely qualified.

-Same thing Morroco did in 2019, they lost to Benin that in the Round of 16, Benin had 3 points in the Group stage. Egypt in the samme tournament won all their group matches, then lost to SA that qualified with 3 points after losing their first 2 matches.

-Nigeria won all their matches including Egypt that later made the Final, we lost to Tunisia that was ravaged by Covid.
There are several other examples.
I have some issues with the game agaisnt Tanzania, but Tournament winners are not determined by the first match.

Exactly.

Hopefully our defence gets better as they progress at the AFCON, but we have to face the reality that the probability of us conceding in a game is 80%. We have to adopt the Barcelona Strategy....Outscore our opponents.

Rroszy:
Algerian are one of the favorite to win Afcon

Team wey old men full?

Up

ChrisKels:
When Akor and Chukwueze were subbed out, Oliseh; I don't see any meaning in this substitution because you don't make such subs at this stage of the game. At this stage you need your best players in the game, not sub them out.

10 minutes later after seeing the impact of Bashir and Simon, same Oliseh; Yea, that's why they were brought in to provide width. You know...when your team is finding it difficult going through the middle, you introduce players that can play from the wing. (That's same Oliseh praising the substitution he criticised 10minutes ago)

Everything about that man disgusts me.

😂😂😂😂

We win..complain...we draw..complain...we lose complain....we got the 3 points which is the most important at this stage.

Philosopher1979:
Yeah. To get a good coach is easy. Just look at an African team that is well coached. The Tanzanian team is well coached. Get rhe coach for us. Chelle is just mediocre. 4 4 2 for 90 minutes is not really our best. We can only okay 4 4 2 for at most 60 minutes. Oliseh comments were very very accurate. We are victims of bad coaching. We are victims of bad coaching. We are victims of bad coaching. It's getting boring to say

U no dey tire to complain??

Clint02:
The confidence is low. I deduced from majority of the comments in this thread.

Alright.

Clint02:
Nobody is confident in the team.

Speak for yourself..do not generalize your own doubts.

Ngenge will have been a good addition to our defence.

mostob:
Josh Ogunnaike.. A LB for Arsenal U21. He trained with the first team today.

Na me first discover this one o. If em blow tomorrow, make nobody lay claim o

😂😂😂😂😂

mrwilliams9:
Will Nigerians turn up in large numbers for Mali vs Zambia?

Maybe for Nigeria vs Tanzania

It's obvious you have never witnessed Nigeria hosting a major tournament....if u have you will not ask me that question.

Dem say Morocco get the facilities and infrastructure.....where the fans? See how stadium for Mali vs Zambia empty. If na Nigeria host...empty seat go hard to see.

Bossoflife25:
IF THIS IS SUPER EAGLES YOU GUYS WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING BY NOW ABOUT HOW THEY COULD NOT BREAK DOWN COMOROS AND THE NUMBER OF WASTED CROSSES.

No mind them!!!

Na Morocco wey dem say go win AFCON be dis? Abi another one dey?

solonnachi:
What time is the Morocco vs Comoros opening AFCON 2025 match?

Match wan starts so.

orriyomi33:
Breaking news!!!

Your thoughts...

CAF never has an original thought, concept or innovation. Na copy and paste/ follow-follow dem Sabi.

A Must Watch: A Fulham Interview on Iwobi, Chukwueze and Bassey ahead of the Afcon.

Chuks complaining about Bassey not passing him the ball. 😂😂
Chuks saying he has more connection with Iwobi than Bassey on field. Lol
Iwobi emphasizing they would take the Afcon seriously but how it is always funny with Bassey and Chuks.
Iwobi saying everyone is a leader on the team.
Chuks and Iwobi would both be playing their 4th Afcon.

These and much more. Enjoy.

Nice!!! Some monicker was complaining yesterday that because Ndidi said they came to have fun at the AFCON, we should forget doing well at the Tournament. The team spirit is good.

mekabuachi:
😂
My dear thanks for reaching out
Super eagles don shatter my heart, I've lost interest completely 😔
I just prefer reading people's opinions right now


I sha get alot to say about this Dr congo saga Sha 🌝

No worry.. better days ahead full of laughter.

The first 10 minutes of the friendly match against Egypt was enough for me to see that these boys will do very well at this AFCON. They have lots of time to perfect tactics and set plays.

@mekabuachi...na ghost mode u dey? U no dey talk like before. Hope all is good.

QueenJazz:
This Jordan or Moroccan side, I don't see us beating them if we meet. A draw might even be generous.

Scariest part is that this is probably Morocco team B/C.

make Una no dey talk like this. Tournament football and Qualifiers are two different scenarios. A team you will beat 10 goals to Nil in the qualifiers...you will meet the same team in a tournament and struggle to score one goal. Our boys will come good in this tournament..that I don't have a doubt about.

lbrichman2:
Onuachu needs midfield to perform
This midfield is flat
Only Akinsanmiro is trying to make things happen
Even Onyeka is not himself in this setup

Onyeka can't even get into an average Brentford midfield, Una expect am to perform miracles. His lack of playing time is affecting his game. He starts well but fades out.

CapitalCee:

Their hypocrisy is dangerous. Very devious and evil hyoocrisy. Someone is literally calling for the country to divide becauase Usman was listed in a 28 man squad. If no one want to call it out i stand here gidigba to put their evil hypocrisy in their faces

Bro...please go back and read the thread of the conversation...the monicker based his call for division based on bad news he reads everyday online. It had nothing to do with Usman invitation. Please correct your impression.

elyte89:
U Neva talk anything concerning dt drc palava …seems u av ur own “sauce” inside nff too

Na Siddon look I dey. If e happen..all well and good...no show ...all well and good...I am at peace.

elyte89:
Late keshi had d worst list ever in Nigeria 🇳🇬 to rep us in a tournament..baba carry uchebo, Gabriel , and oda names wey we Neva hear go World Cup

All of them get the Same agent Harris...something.

If by mistake Naija enter this world cup...dem fit win am...at that point no be ordinary hand ..na destiny.

Hi

UncleHaba22:
That Amas Obasogie too na Player of glass house

He took over from that yellow keeper from enyimba

NFF hands is written all over that squad list

We know the players they've been calling aren't delivery but there are way better players out there than the ones on that list mehn

Please list the players that are better than the ones on the list.

Mujtahida:
That loss to Congo was the loss of a dream. The dream is gone. Missing two consecutive world cups hurt. Funny thing is that I don't feel the pain but football taste like gravel in my mouth.

But bother....to be honest, wetin we wan go do for World cup? Win am? Just to go participate? Future heartbreak has been avoided. Let's move on.

Sarsaparilla524:
You can't compare bro
Last AFCON squad was better than this current squad.
Many of our players were in top form compared to their form currently.

If u say so bro. Let's just hope for the best. Tournament football anything can happen.
