This game is going to end in pens

Adams ain’t doing well today

Ajayi good job

Super Eagles understand urgency
They started the 2nd half much better

Match looks like another penalty shootout
Except team A come in to change the game

Egypt pressing Nigeria

Odunayaw:
That Nations League makes me sivk

Nations League will improve bottom ranked teams

Papi85:
🇳🇬 | 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: West Ham United are showing INTEREST in Ademola Lookman and have now CONTACTED his camp.

[@topskillsportuk @SkyNews]

Bad move
Better to go inter milan, free transfer hopefully
He should forget EPL

Spainever:
Sure 😃 the person that insisted that he should be included will take cut . I watched highlight of Abayomi ( baggio) in Nigerian league the guy is good 😊 but was not invited rather they invited Usman

Who is this Baggio guy people keep raving about on Twitter

Papi85:
SPECIAL – Valencia is preparing to make an official offer to Beşiktaş for Wilfred Ndidi on loan + with a purchase option.

Wilfred Ndidi wants to play in LaLiga and the player’s side has approved Valencia’s loan offer.

(2 more teams from LaLiga are also interested in the player.)

I guess scouts have been watching AFCON
Waiting to see what happens with Calvin Bassey

oloriooko:
CAF should have kuku given Maroc the trophy before starting the tourny, it's obvious everything is rigged to favour Maroc cuz they are hosting and probably have greased some palms
In another news, how can you name a Maroc ref for Nig vs Egp match , wher are SA, Somalia refs?
CAF is so ruthless in corruption and inefficiency

They brought the ridiculous CAF champions league behavior to AFCON
Egypt & Cameroun didnt do this when they hosted in 2019 & 2022
Sénégal & other countries could just boycott the event in the future

Spainever:
Usman is just there to collect allowance

Will he split his cut

How did Calvin Bassey grow overnight from average to world class
It baffles me
Definitely in top 10 centre backs in world football
Calvin was just average last year
I wonder how his pairing with Benjamin Fredricks will be long term
I hope he moves to an elite European team in the summer to play Ucl
I think Nigeria would’ve conceded goals in the KO stages if he wasn’t available
Don’t Madrid need a defender since Saliba is too expensive

Amalekki:
In fairness to Senegal with regards to your point, they hosted in 1992 and cheated nobody. They did not win.

Also, Nigeria was even cheated in the final in Lagos as co-host in 2000. Nigeria cheated nobody.

Egypt & Cameroun hosted in 2019 and 2022
They didn’t treat people like this

Morocco have brought their CAF champions league behaviour to AFCON
Smh

plessis:
Amaechi built railway to Niger Republic but did nothing for river and igbo people.

That’s not true
Rotini Amaechi through Rivers state funds sent many indigenes to Western Universities on 100% scholarship
@coputa
Probably one of the best governors ever in that state

Boycott the AFCON final

HacheNoire:
That’s deep!

I still cannot imagine what runs through the minds of Syrians, Iraqis and Iranians. Like, how do they look back and be happy with the status quo today?

They fell for the antics of the devil and now they destroyed!

Not a curse but feasible reality, they won’t get back to that point they previously seemed the devil. It’s all ruined and turmoils now! They can’t even pick up their pieces again!

If reincarnation is real, citizens of those country’s will never wish for “Democracy” in their next life. That’s the tag that destroyed their once peaceful nation!

I remember vividly when Syria was a tourist destination. I call it dead end then. Democracy went there and it became ruins!

But why do some dictators with obsolete ideas stay decades in power.

Anything beyond ten years gets the populace infuriated
Iran powers are the cause of this mess
Running the country forever

Someone said get Ethan Nwaneri & we win the AFCON

TheSuperNerd:
I am just smiling at the prospect of Benjamin Frederick's return to the RCB role in Chelle's 4312/442 diamond. Chisos! It is earth-quaking.

In this setup, this pair would easily morph into possibly the most press resistant CB pair in Africa. We will invite your press and beat through and around u like u dont exist.

You have these two and buildups takes a new dimension from the back as Benjamin can not only intercept danger early but also drive into space and break lines himself.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am already in 2027 Afcon. I can see the first game play out.

This team is in its prime. They will touch the final in 2027 as long as Chelle is retained. By 2027, Chelle would be nearly 2.5yrs in the Super Eagles job. The Soaking will be complete before Afcon 2027.

I hope they keep Chelle for stability sake
Regragui is 4 years on the job
A new coach means starting afresh with new model or identity
Chelle just needs to add plan B & C, instead of building up through Iwobi
He also needs assistance particularly in 2nd half in game management
Morocco kept Regragui despite South Africa loss in last Afcon
East Africans can’t win the next Afcon right now so that turf will be a neutral ground

Eriokanmi:
Na those of us wey write waec for 90s write the real waec. Others na enjoyment. You'd see someone who's so sound in English repeating waec cos of deficiency in English, likewise maths. Combination of results (with 6 credits max in 2 sitting ) was a norm that time and if you had an A in either of the 2 subjects, you be super guru. I remember when my brother obtained a GCE form for me in Ibadan. He said he'd need me to change the environment as a lagos boy. He wanted me to come to Ibadan where he was working. I was in ss2. I left for ibadan to write the gce. When the result was released at the ijokodo waec office, I counted the number of those who passed English at credit level, in the whole of ibadan grammar school center. We were only 12. Others had pass and f9. Today, over 60% would have distinction and credit passes

Today, they pass with As in almost all subjects at a sitting. We used our heads in maths calculations, no single calculator used and once you're caught its expulsion straight, from the hall. Our only calculator was the mathematical and statistical table approved by waec.

Things became so easy from 2000s till date. I once challenged my son in a math question. He scored B2 in further maths and A1 in maths. The moment I collected calculator from his hands and told him to use his head he said dad no pls . They're so used to it nowadays

I agree with you
Plus there are better textbooks out there now compared to pre internet era
Nelkon & Parker versus New School Physics, Lamlad
Imagine project research without internet

Sarsaparilla524:
HAS RASHIDI YEKINI EVER MISSED A PENALTY KICK FOR NIGERIA OR HIS CLUB SIDE? NO.

HIS PENALTY KICKS ARE HIT HARD, FIRM AND DECISIVE LEAVING THE GOALKEEPER NO OPTION TO SAVE IT.

HIT IT FIRM, HARD AND DECISIVELY.

DIRECT, ASSERTIVE EXECUTION OVER FINESSE OR PLACEMENT.

GOING FORWARD, NIGERIA MUST ADOPT THIS APPROACH.

PRIORITISE POWER AND CONVICTION OVER DECEPTION.

RIP 9JA GANGLING STRIKER ...

So much power can take the ball over the cross bar lol

zuchyblink:
Documenting the questionable decisions by this Ghanaian referee (Nigeria vs Morocco):

18’
Brahim kicks the ball out. The referee blows against Osayi and gives the throw-in to Morocco.
Note: There were wrong calls before this, but let’s start here.

22’
Brahim clearly handballs while trying to chest the ball. No whistle.

32’
Bassey is given a yellow card for an action that wasn’t even a foul.

34’
Clear foul on Ezzazouli not given.

36’
Another obvious foul ignored.

51’
Lookman is clearly pulled. No foul.

52’
Onyedika goes for a fair 50-50 ball. The referee blows against him.
It feels like Nigeria is not even allowed to touch a Moroccan shirt.

58’
Osayi is simply marking Ezzazouli. Suddenly, a free kick for Morocco.

65’
Ezzazouli blasts the ball away. No yellow card.

68’
The ball never leaves the field, yet the referee gives a throw-in to Morocco.
Even Moroccan players look confused.

88’
Free kick given to Hakimi when Moses Simon clearly didn’t touch him. It should have been Nigeria’s corner.

92’
Moses Simon cleanly wins the ball from Hakimi, but the referee calls a foul, stopping a clear counterattack.

93’
Clear foul on Onyeka. Referee waves play on.

99’
No yellow card for Brahim after pulling Bruno and stopping an attack.

102’
No yellow card for Igamane after stopping Osayi’s attack.

103’
The referee blows against Bashiru for absolutely nothing.

115’
Clear foul on Osayi. Completely overlooked.

Why won’t Jamie Carragher look down on the competition

Thé évolution of Calvin Bassey
Many people wrote him off at Ajax Amsterdam

DMCY:
Ain’t no way some won’t go back to the conventional way of keeping money Aswear

Or e currencies
Would be buying things in bulk

Procashtips:
Should Qatar also have been given the worldcup for having such glorious infrastructure during the worldcup?

Because of infrastructure, CAF just handed over the cup to Morrocco.

Anyways, I see Senegal upsetting them come Sunday.

It's going to be very sweet watching them cry.

Qatar also felt like home to the Moroccans when they played that World Cup
Same Arab world
Even Moroccan staffs said it
Thé entire Arab world was cheering them on
Qatar do not have the players to perform magic

Benjamin Fredrick
Chrisantus Uche

Regragui slightly out coached Chelle
Only 2 shots in 120 minutes
Wow

Chukwueze go play disinterested pk
Smh
That guy let his teammates down
The manner in which he chose to take that pen
Smh
