Who knows? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You guys never gave him a chance 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

minfelix:


u better carry your hand up, i no see anybody hand wey i fall oo

Bro I’m not talking about football or match or anything
I said he used a present tense in the place of a past tense

I’m talking about syllables you’re talking about the match 😂

mostob:
The officiating today was wrong.. women are too emotional.
If at all a female must ref our match, that South African woman would have been the better choice. Don't ask me why abeg.

It’s the new trend and we can’t do anything about it sadly once they test it here and some other smaller fifa competitions they’ll implement women ref fully into the main game

Odunayaw:
CIV must disband their team.

Then call all its players from the local league.

Sack their coach and give the job to an Ivorian

What else do peeps here clamor for when they are high on emotions?

Civ doesn’t need to disband anything

You make it sound as if this is yaya toure and Drogba and kalu era

Ivory Coast doesn’t have a forward that’s on fire 🔥 coming into this afcon so what do you expect.

A team where midfielder fofana register more shots than attackers there’s a problem

Change only the wingers and watch the team flow

daveP:
Spain 3rd division club player is afcon highest goalscorer. He's 34!!

So in hindsight former Spanish division midfielder
Nwakali go be afcon KDB highest assist 🌚🌚🌚🌚

Odunayaw:
Means you esteem he is in his right mind. I don't so I no de engage am

Alright baba

codemaniacs:


That's the point..

them coming on in the 2nd half means more energy and stamina in the attack and yes since they will come on in the 2nd half and have more energy then they will fall back.

After all, it was Moses Simon's cross that gave SE a win this evening.

I don't have faith in them, I am just thinking the opposition players will be tired in the 2nd half and players like Simon, Chukwueze, Moffi can stretch the opposition more and make them more tired..

I even think it should be Simon, Chukwueze and Osimhen that should come on in the 2nd half let Moffi start..

Osimhen might be a good 2nd half player for the SE same way Oshoala is.

You’ll look dead in the eye and tell me

Oyenka, onyedika, iwobi will be subbed out in the 60-65min and sub in chukwueze,Moses and moffi. Look me dead in the eye and tell me we won’t loose that midfield instantly 😂

Truidstarr:
Ivory Coast wey get well drilled plans and technique… where dem dey now?

Laziness won’t let me type an epistle

My prayer is we continue like this and take it up a notch

Not end like ivory all flash and no bang

ChrisKels:
Raphael Onyedika is more elegant in the midfield than Frank Onyeka

Lack of match time makes onyedika a little iffy

Onyenka is still better

Odunayaw:
Haba na

But he can ridicule someone else it’s all fair game na

Blueelf:


Your dad maybe

Nah he’s an old geezer he couldn’t have

Marjoribanks:
We have wingers who doesn't understand basic football principles.

Don't know when to pass, where to pass, when to shoot nor when not to shoot. Pathetic.

We have midfielders who can't press, run and shoot.

We have a number 9 who is having a beef with luck.

Only the defense and the goalkeeper are above average!

This team lacks the physicality and technique to control a game.

Pathetic team!

This is the best analysis 🧐 dropped here about our current campaign but hate won’t let most people see it.
Like the 7 points doesn’t mean anything luck played a huge role here not technique or well drilled plans

zicky:
come close my mouth as owner of nairaland. I should not air my view because one faceless individual say so. I'm saying is again, the ref was poor. What's my business with npfl refs

I’m sorry my dude i stepped out of line there

minfelix:


yoi are speaking analysts english “came from behind to draw” while me im asking why they drew d game…wether came from behind im not after that football analyst english, im after why they fail to win us

Jesus Christ bro i can’t believe what I’m hearing from you 🤣 🤣 you don fall my hand big time

I’m not talking about the match oga

Roland17:


These cats are going to be a problem if they stay healthy.

Come playoff we all know where kawhi would be and we all know what harden would do come playoff if his gang not by his side

I think pg and kawhi would even share same hospital bed again

TheDejiEmpire:


i get Ps4, but i’m unable to create a PSN account because the region is Japan/China and i’m unable to change it.
Na why i dey find another.

Oga find a ps store and swap it you’ll just add money on top

Why the shop owner will convert it to hack it’s a win win scenario

yinkeys:
No game time yet for iheanacho, Musa, Moffi

I actually thought musa would came in this match though

yinkeys:

Naso Equitorial Guinea beat Ivory Coast
Expose dem finish
What If they man mark Kudus even though I know he is a physical player

That’s how great players are made still doing what you’re supposed to do

When you’re man marked or double teamed mark

minfelix:


no matter how you will put it, they can never beat us..wether come from behind or not…that shows we have superior mentality over them..after their 1-0 go they went to sleep..why didnt dey switch into beast mode…instead it was eagles that almost tore them apart

Bro I’m talking about present and past terms being used I’m not talking about the match oga

They scored first so we came from behind

So if you were a full time analyst

You’ll say on air with over 10 million people watching that Equatorial Guinea came from behind to draw Nigeria

codemaniacs:


since they are starting, that means Simon and Chukwueze will be on the bench so Simon, Chukwueze, Moffi can replace them, it is football when subs are made formations or style of play is meant to change.

That's one of the problems.. the amount of midfielders is small.

So you expect Simon, chukwueze and moffi to fall back when there’s a counter

Bro you have so much faith in these wingers 😂 😂😂😂😂

There’s a difference between a winger and a midfielder

Only iwobi has bridged that gap those guys you mentioned coming off the bench are disaster waiting to happen.

charlesemeka85:
Baba Onyedika is good just that he hasn’t gotten enough chance in the team

I’ll ride with this no problem i hope the coach gives him more chance going forward

codemaniacs:


Nope Al-hassan is not light years ahead of Onyedika...

if not for the rubbish coaching crew and staff the SE refuses to replace.

Al-hassan, Iwobi, Onyeka and Onyedika are all meant to be starting matches.

they compliment each others attributes but the coaching crew is incompetent.

If you start all 4 of them even if that’s possible who’s gonna replace them because last i remember we were short handed in midfield

minfelix:


so how com we still draw the match..

The argument is about past and present terms
It’s the terms being used not the results

If a kid in class always takes first place

And one they you match up to him and both you and the kid are first place would you say the kid finally caught up to you or you finally caught up to the kid

We came from behind so we drew with them that’s the correct term that’s my point

Mujtahida:

Naaa I don't want a team that depends on luck to win.

Seconded amen to that

Meliforme:
Alhassan Yusuf and Iwobi were the difference makers.

Alhassan is light years ahead of rapheal onyedicka

lovewins:


Not conversant with the rules on towels quite frankly, but I'm assuming Bassey wouldn't have requested for it and the coach wouldn't have given it if it was a clear violation. Not disputing your claim o, but just sharing my thoughts too.

One thing I’ve noticed towel is no longer a thing in epl aside from home team’s strategically keeping it in wait in key areas o behind the throw line

Odunayaw:
Argue with yourself

Oga name chances don’t run and hide

Icon4s:
Second round of the AFCON is always a different ball game. We have seen this play out over and over. In 2013 we only managed to score two late penalties against Ethiopia to finish with 5pts in our group and by the knockout phase we saw a different team. In 2021 we finished our group in flying colours but crashed out at the second round. AFCON history has taught me that the knockout phase is usually a different ball game and I usually go on the path of history. This team can get better at the knockout stage.

We are to play the runner up in the group of:
Senegal
Guinea
Cameroon
Gambia

Most likely to be Guinea or Cameroon.
We can defeat any of these two if we play to our full potentials.

My prayer was for us to draw this match so our boys will know that they’re human and have to scrap for the next stage

Because 7 points brings some sort of relaxation in the next stage and that’s what I’m afraid of

cromz:
So far so good we have the best defensive record at the Afcon. As earlier stated, our transition from defence to attack is very good. However we are lacking clinically and in decision making in the final third. I hope to see drastic improvements in the coming stages.

How can we make changes it’s the same staff we have na they can’t change overnight what we have to pray for is for this their scrappy tactics to keep giving us the victory

zicky:
i don't think Bassey was deliberately wasting time. The ref is just not good

The ref is not good
The red is not good

Our Npfl refs that are very very very very good aren’t there but she’s there

That says a lot now keep quiet and let this be the end of it
