I'm pretty sure okocha did not get to the ucl final and won the eredivise in addition to the Olympic gold in 1996.

But he was making it look like kanus only achievement was winning the Olympics.

Amedino99:
one of the effects of always finishing 3rd or 2nd in afcon. You cant really quantify their contributions since they have no accolades to show for it so it will always seem like they were never here. Mention kanu to any person and the first and most notable contribution that will be mentioned will be the Olympics medal he won for us. An age grade competition.

so was it the age grade competition that gave Kanu his 2 APOTY, okocha was in the same age grade competition but never won it.

femianski:
The morrocans have been fuming seriously on social media about Lookman's win and has been blaming racism. This next year AFCON, they'll try every possible means and tactics to make that competition a nightmare for other participants. I don't blame them but CAF for giving them this entitlement mentality by making them host several ceremonies and competitions there recently.

or you blame the so called giant of Africa who presently can't host any Caf tournament.

forgiveness:
Because he was deliberately kicked out of the national team despite his form at Laliga and MLS.

Nigeria's Legend!!!!? I don't think so. Perhaps, Inter Milan, Newcastle, Birmingham city legend.

more like it, can't pick a match for Nigeria I'll say he was my man of the match. But very explosive player

forgiveness:
Without one legged Obagoal, we for no go smell World cup in South Africa. He came on despite limping and he got us the goal that qualified us to the world cup.

Blame the National team coach that kept benching for some players. Although, Yakubu na baba ooo.

Nevertheless, Martins has 2 bronze medals in AFON.

He could have won in 2013 when he was at his peak but late Stephen Keshi with his bias selection dropped him from the team.

He could have.... 🤔 But he didn't.
See Martins even when he was introduced last nite as Nigeria legend, I just laff, say who make this one Nigeria legend. Same thing people will say about Boniface in years to come if he do not improve.

TheSuperNerd:
Hakimi don suffer shaa. Twice he is hyped as potential winner.. and twice now runner-up.

In 2023, Hakimi and WC 2022 performance + PSG league win hyped..... eventually Osimhen inevitably won.

Now again in 2024, Hakimi and his Club President dey come marrakech in private jet!!! Hakimi hyped again..... eventually LOOKMAN UNDISPUTABLY WINS AND IS NOW THE REIGNING BEST PLAYER ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT.

ALL HAIL THE NEW LORD OF THE AFRICAN GAME

ALL HAIL ADEFIRE🔥🔥🔥 THE ORIGINAL ADEBALLER!!

Have you seen the video of some Moroccan leaving the venue immediately lookman was announced the winner. And Nigerians were singing one by one dem don dy go 😂

mekabuachi:
Am I the only one tensed Omo 😂

Same here, anxiety won finish me. I'm not watching, just going through the net to get the breaking news

maidaboi:
Chiamaka won

So happy for her,
Expecting double like last year

semid4lyfe:
Real Madrid reacted swiftly and ferociously when Vinicius did not win the Balon D'or

How will NFF and Nigeria react if Lookman does not win the award? 🤔

Rather it should be how will Atalanta react...

You did not mention Brazil 🇧🇷

solonnachi:
The politics has been done in Morocco. Winners have already been decided. All these your talk na medicine after death

But why must Morocco host every CAF thing on this continent?

they was a period Nigeria was hosting this award year after year, throughout that period no Nigerian won it, so it not by who's hosting.

Livewire5:
Atleast it's not long term injuries
Big players like Vinicius Mbappe Haaland still dey miss some games because of injury

Neymar with rubber leg, big club will still come for him.

Odunayaw:
Brown Ideye coming to the NPFL

Enyimba precisely, the people's elephant

COOL10:
Here's the social media handle of the football agency representing him : @stirrassociates.

You'd do well to direct your question to them.

Better response, you for ask am why Osimhen performance last season end him at Gala as na rubbish question he sabi ask

jihday:
‘who are not better than what we have locally‘ but when they give una Finidi na swear una use chase am comot

Na Finidi swear for himself, killed the momentum the team gathered after Afcon

maidaboi:
you are correct its just the terrible tag that I'm against

i can't pick any SE player at that tournament and discribe them as terrible, talk more of Osimhen. I see two extreme discription of Osimhen's performance at the Afcon. Terrible and our best player

elyte89:
Presently to me ,all of dem are rubbish in GWG COLORS till we gain dt confidence again to beat Rwanda 🇷🇼 and co …we Dey 2nd to d last ,we Dey argue here😏…minnows now dominate midfield play against us ..

Bro allow us argue so if someone comes here years later, the person will not be misinformed. We built an image or a momentum through that tournament, we had a fear factor, SE were more talked about even more than the host and winner of the tournament. Right now everything has crumble.

My Afcon best Super eagles performers....

1.Ademola Lookman...3 goals and wonderful assist for Osimhen against EG was great.He had a great tournament and came to the parties when we needed him most.He was wonderful against Angola and Cameroon.

2.Troost Ekong...3 goals,scored Ivory Coast twice,a decisive penalty against Ivory Coast and had a wonderful tournament that surprised fans.

3.Ola Aina....played RB and LB in the tournament and had performance that would be remembered as the best by any eagles wingback in Afcon,though very average in the final.

4.Frank Onyenka...he was all over the field,worked his socks off with full energy,reminded fans of Onazi scintillating performance in Afcon 2013.It will take third eye to recognize Onyenka on the field.

5.Bassey Calvin...what a great tournament for the young lad.He did well in 3 man defence alongside Ekong and Ajayi and full of strength moving forward to complement Sanusi.

6.Stanley Nwabali...came in and gave us world class performance that have been eluding us in our goalkeeping department for a long time.He gave masterclass performance during penalty shootouts against SA.

7.Semi Ajayi....with Ekong and Bassey were on defensive all through the tournament based on Peseiro approached to our games.He formed a good understanding at the back with Ekong and Bassey.I rated the trio as the best cuz they did very well defensively.He was denied a goal against Cameroon.

8.Osimhen Victor...a goal in the tournament but worked for the team throughout and had a great performance against Cameroon, especially never die assist to Lookman speak volume of his class.

The team generally did well,hope we make it to WC.

nice take placing Aina, Onyeka and Osimhen was a difficult one for me, I even forgot Ajayi ☺️

Bannedlargejr:
If lookman wasn’t our best player at Afcon who was? Ekong? Osimhen? Members, who was Nigeria best player at Aston 2024??

For me, my ranking of Nigeria best performance
1.Ekong
2 Lookman
3.Onyeka
4 Osimhen.
5.nwabali
6.Aina
7.Bassey
Then the rest
The whole team gave their all, but looking at Caf listing you can draw your conclusion who has the best performance.
Same tournament that see Ekong listed among Best defenders?

elyte89:
Dessers movement and positioning off d ball is better Dan all of our strikers presently ,d few times have watched him but. If he sees such chances of 10,he would barely convert 3 into goals ,he loses goal scoring chances

However super eagles of today don’t need such a striker ,we want those who will convert those chances as it comes ..at least 8 out of ten,

And which present striker in SE including Osimhen convert 8/10. Abi when it comes to Dessers the bar is raised.

Subzerooo:
Wait is Dessers no longer playing in the Scottish league, Rangers fans see him as the second coming of the devil, what would he offer to the SE when we are battling crucial qualifiers when he is not of the level required?

So if you are coach in a world cup qualifier you play Dessers ahead of Boniface because he scores 2 after every intermediate drought, put Dessers in a Bayern Leverkusen team and put Boniface in a Rangers team and reevaluate lol

we have seen both in the SE team and Dessers is better, the records speak for himself

opes:
Maybe if Osimhen had taken the penalties he won and score them, people wouldnt have talked much of Ekong..

Do you know I also use same take when people criticise Kanu of not having an Afcon goal. IF he has taken the penalties he won.... 🤔

DeloitteNG:
Boniface will come through
I believe he will

After how many match, but you don't believe Dessers will come through even with more goals and less minutes than Boniface

DeloitteNG:
Imagine say Dessers lead our line for Afcon you think say we for smell finals
Abi nor be the same Dessers we see against Mali
Dessers, sadiq, Onuachu and Awoniyi na the same WhatsApp group them dey
We should move away from these people

Which whatsapp group Boniface dey.

Truidstarr:
Eguavoen will not be in charge by January. Dessers is my man...but he has not really clicked for the SE.

outside Osimhen, which other striker don click, na Boniface abi Sadiq or Awoniyi.

kedeojo:
Same way he was igbos favorite until when he didn't support Obi their kinsman for presidency. Igbos were at the forefront as the number one fan of Wike back then, just because he was fighting Buhari and Apc who igbos don't like. Una no they get shame at all. Nzogbu nzogbu

You are wrong, igbos stop supporting Wike after the killing in oyigbo. The whole rivers people was against wike support for Apc, reason why they could only rewrite the result at inec office.

TheSuperNerd:
🔴🎶 “You’re getting sacked in the morning”, Liverpool fans are chanting…

…and Pep Guardiola replies by showing them number 6, his Premier League titles as Manchester City coach 🔵6️⃣




The EPL is wild🤣🤣🤣🤣

Someone said 'Pep is in his Mourinho era 😂'

Sugarboyy:
The earlier Man City fans tells themselves the truth that most of their players aren't just good enough, the better it will be for them.

when we tell them Doku is an overhyped Simon moses them argue.

Mujtahida:
We have not transitioned to that level of efficiency

Abeg make dy transition fast, I'm tired of seeing us playing without coordination.

Mujtahida:
Modern football has shifted the emphasis from the creative number 10s we used to know to DMs. Till today I was shocked when Kante was the rave. I was like what's happening? Shows you where the emphasis lies today. Going to 6 years now our midfield is dominated by DMs

so how do other top countries use this same modern DM to dominate smaller countries. Abi na only us shift from creative MF

kentebemoney:
Oga you sef know say I dey talk about the last friendly game.

Bros I know say na the friendly you dy talk, but no be friendly match make us dy para for this current eagles players

BankyGee:
E no tire you? 😂

Losing to Rwanda now na contingency plan towards World Cup qualifiers

Baba the thing weak me, for like 20mins I just hold phone dy look the post.

kentebemoney:
The Atlanta 96 team lost to Togo B4 winning gold, the last afcon team was playing nonsense B4 the tournament. AE is a competent coach, you can't win all the time. Infact it's better we lost the last match to Rwanda, it set's the tone for our next meeting.
Keep calm!!! Na Nigerians go make Nigeria great.
If we can't support ourselves let's just sell our country.

which kind children talk be this 😂 😂
The Atlanta 96 team did not lose any qualification game.
