Aina and Calvin are good

Why do i feel so disappointed in Nigeria play, Nigeria style of play is just not good for the eyes

charlesemeka85:
scoring Mauritius and kudus kinda goal is more important than qualifying Abi?

So if not for Ekong’s goal via penalty you would hv encouraged our forwards to be selfish just to score Mauritius kinda goal instead laying a pass for an easier finish when the team needs to win abi?

scoring Mauritania and kudus kinda goal will make Nigeria win matches and qualify to the next stage. Against EG at some point in the game fans expected yusuf to be selfish and go for goal instead of trying to pass the ball.

Can we say cape Verde is the first team to qualify?

mostob:
Cape Verde vs Ghana? Egypt vs Mozambique? The minnows are waking up. Dem no wan gree for any team again.

can cape Verde still be referred to as minnows in today's African game?

Goke7:
I thought na only me notice, that second goal had no business entering in

it deflected off a player standing in front of him

comodo:
Egypt GK na Uzoho in white skin.

the second goal wasn't any fault of his

Interesting game Egypt 🇪🇬 vs Ghana 🇬🇭

Oasis007:


Let's drop our possible lineups. You don't have to condemn or criticise someone's predicted lineup, just drop yours and move on.

Mine;

...................................Nwabali

Aina.................Ekong...............Semi.................Zaidu

..........................Onyedika......Onyeka........................

Iheanacho..................Iwobi.......................Lookman

.................................Osimhen

i really want to see nacho play from the right again like he did in one of our games, I enjoyed his game that day.

caprikon:
Kanu's penalty miss in Lagos in the AFCON final against CMR must have haunted him for long.

But he scored against Tunisia in Afcon, I know he avoid pk like Mikel

Starboytwo:
I thought I was the only one. Very rough tackling, I was expecting 2 reds against them.

Morroco very good. But we will beat them.

SE can beat every team with mouth

Marjoribanks:
I think Kanu assists can't be more than 5. Definitely, he can't be the one with the most assists. I am just saying the comparison is not fair to Kanu cos he offered more than just goal scoring!

Kanu sef no try, I can't recall the Afcon 04 or 06,kanu won a pk, then the talk of kanu not having an Afcon goal was loud. Many fans was expecting kanu to take the pk, oga leave the pk walker komot. That incident vex me

Papi85:
I don’t care the position he played in that game but judging by your take he should be a super eagles regular till date because of the sumptuous goal he scored against Atleti

omniknowest no care about position but dy argue cm and cdm too much monkey post don affect you

Papi85:
Aribo plays mostly in that role for the super eagles

Jpes has his reasons of picking Onyeka for the cdm role instead of onyedika

No Dey reason with ur anus

otula has Onyeka played b2b/cm for Nigeria before? Aribo that has played SS/AM for Nigeria, dy confuse yourself dragon fly. Because Aribo came in for Alhassan today it now means Aribo is a b2b player.

Papi85:
onyedika and Al Hass no Dey play the same position

Onyedika is a natural CDM while Al Hass is b2b/CM

Onyedika is battling for a starters shirt with Onyeka

The player Al Hass benched was aribo


Know their roles first before arguing 🤣🤣🤣

so Aribo is a b2b player to you omniknowest , have you not since Onyeka play b2b/cm for Nigeria. Abi ndidi that alhassan replace is a b2b player. As grade E coach wey you be, see your mouth like b2b abi CDM

Mujtahida:
Simon is a waster

like the guys game is so annoying. They was a moment in the game he tried dribbling EG player, I don't know is his brain was faster than his leg or the leg was faster than his brain, baba dribble himself to goal kick.

Papi85:
what made him confused? Because em no pick nwakali?

Even if he decide to take 6 midfielders to the afcon I am very sure he won’t pick nwakali

Below are his likely pick if all are fit

Ndidi
Iwobi
Onyeka
Onyedika
Alhassan
Aribo

Ndidi is injured mention another midfielder. Jpes is confuse for not listing Alhassan in his original 25man list then all of a sudden he's benching onyedika. That's to say Alhassan is better than onyedika but he pick onyedika ahead of Alhassan

Ghana 🇬🇭 don become cape Verde customer. Abeg Where's is Gustav abi what's that his name. Come explain

Papi85:
the ones in the team are better than him 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ask yourself why jpes who is from Portugal overlooks nwakali?

Is it not the same jpes handed Bruno Onyemaechi of Boavista playing in the same league as nwakali his first debut in the national team?

Abeg no mention Jpes, that guy is confuse. At bold I agree the ones in the team are better than him but I don't think anyone is asking jpes to drop any midfielders for nwakali, what fans are say is that the number of midfielders in a team of 25 players is too small, add more which is where bashiru and nwakali comes in. Cos me sef no sabi any other midfielder except Chukwuemeka and ugochuchwu for Chelsea.

Papi85:
he was in the initial 35 Abi 40 man list also with una maestro

Both missed out from the final 25 man list but Al Hass was preferred as a capable replacement for injured Ndidi

His performance in the ucl this season made it possible for him to attract Jpes to name him in the first list which was pruned to 25 few days later

so what made it possible for nwakali to attract Jpes to be named in the first list. No ucl, his team is piss poor, he earn 5kobo per week

Mujtahida:
In SE. At least make the argument die. It's over five years now. And the argument about him is not only on this forum. The guy is like a ghost that haunts the imagination of some fans.

people still mention nwakali because of how poor our midfield has been nothing more, remember when Nigeria were falling everywhere for tammy, solanke became we lack good strickers then. Immediately we started producing good strickers who remember those ones. Same way if we start get good midfielders, clamour for nwakali will die naturally.

humility33:
Chaves may dem dey beat for home 3 zero which day here

That team na trash.... notwithstanding i wish nwakali well but for now he is not super eagles material

We have much better players

uncle mention them. Abeg those against nwakali invitation to super eagles should do well to mention other better midfielders. He might not be SE materials but since we are short of midfielders kindly suggest other midfielders that are SEs material

Papi85:
he made the first list of over 30 players to be considered for the final list

His performance in the UCL made that possible for him to be under consideration to be placed on standby and fortunately for him Ndidi’s injury granted him the opportunity to be included as a replacement for the leicester man

Playing in the europe club competitions opens doors to bigger leagues and clubs for players

Yak earned a move to England as a young star after shining with Maccabi Haifa in the ucl. He even scored a hattrick against man united

Babayaro earned a big move to chelsea from anderlecht after doing well as a 17 year old for the Belgian club in the ucl

Yusuf Atanda Ayinla caught the eyes of national team handlers playing in the ucl with dynamo Kiev against Madrid where he held his own against almighty zizou

Bro nwakali was also named in the provisional list. You said his game in antwerp got him to Afcon which I disagree cos he wasn't in the original 25 man list even if peseiro had made it 27 his name won't be among even when fans were asking for more midfielders. It took injury to ndidi for him to be considered. Among players midfielders earlier listed in the provision list only alhassan can play dm role

chrisooblog:
Everyone is dealing with the result in their own way when everybody don calm down we will resume analysis

Victor deserves to be criticized for his misses today but I find some of the takes a bit baffling considering that he still scored today. Osimhen is wack, is overated but in two tournament matches he has already scored more goals than some peoples favorites and legends wey no score single goal in 9 tournaments. Make I off mic sha.

Musa has scored more world cup goals than than your favorite and legend. We should then named Musa as Nigeria Goat.

Papi85:
his performance in the UCL paved way for him to the super eagles team for the afcon. He didn’t get into the team based on hype and stats posted here 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Antwerp is a top team in Belgium and playing in European club competitions open doors for players to better and bigger fortunes

Bro he got to the Afcon team base on injury to ndidi nothing else. If ndidi was fit, if he like make he win best player for Belgium Peseiro for no call hassan

Mujtahida:
That miss just drained off all the enthusiasm in my body. I just couldn't look at the TV after that. It was so far off the mark.

See Hassan and chukwueze one on one with keeper, I was expecting them to shot just like aina did, they went for a pass. This players can frustrate

Mujtahida:
Absolutely. He doesn't miss chances.

Bro that miss was wayward, did not hit the bar, wasn't save by the keeper, not even close to the bar make we even say small thing e for enter.

Joebie:
It’s a matter of finding the right balance. How will the Aribo-Iwobi pair fair against big teams? This is a matter of familiarity, not necessarily top-notch chemistry.

i feel a midfield combination of iwobi, Aribo and hassan might just be it

Papi85:
iwobi came to life when Aribo was subbed in. I think both understand their selves better

I believe with more games together Iwobi will adapt to playing with Al Hass

true talk. I notice the midfielders played better when Aribo came in.

I'm tired of SE, they keep disappointing and we the fans keep expecting some kind of magic in their next match. Just like some say our lack of winning matches before this tournament doesn't matter. Nigeria is a tournament team blah blah blah. Moses abi lookman will turn ronaldo once dy get to Afcon.

COOL10:
On a lighter note, who saw that beautiful dribbling from Onuachu? He's not so bad with his feet after all.

that's a skillful stricker not Sadiq.

chuks404:
Wow. Yusuf is good. The clamour for his inclusion by goodjoe and supernerd is clearly evident. Bobo has lungs and brain

that guy is small but mighty just like kante
