ChrisKels: That doesn't sound right. Why would Algerian journalists start clapping because of that? North African are whinny cheaters when it comes to football and we all saw their player punch Zaha in the mouth and act like the victim. |

So it's game day I'm quietly confident I have no doubt that with the right formation we will beat them even though betting pundits have the algerians odd favourite to win but I think the players can get the job done. The algerians are coming to the game with a lot of tension angst and Vengeance on their mind which I think might play into our hands if we stay calm. I will stick out my neck and predict 3- 1 in favour of Nigeria let's back them with all all support. Let's go super Eagles! |

BascoVanVeli: This is what the man said; ''I am not really sure that this is the place to talk about this. If you try to put pressure on us, it is not the right way. Try to win in another way, not this way. ''There is a referee for that, there is VAR for that, it is not your job to talk about these things.'' I dont think there is anything wrong with that. Any coach would have given such response, u don't expect him to slam his player before the press, no sane coach does that. Chisom knew what she was up to before asking him that question, she wanted to suppress the man by putting him under pressure and drawing the attention of CAF in case it happens against Nigeria. She succeeded, yes buh the man did what he had to do as a professional. Nothing like sexism here 5 Likes |

andrew444: Of course.....which means when ever a country with more popular players meets another with less in a tournament...casual fans, pundits and bookmakers often give it to the country with more popular players, not accounting for other factors like team spirit or drive which may help the smaller football country to win.... A random person in Algiers won't know chuks or ighalo because they aren't popular there...boutabout must have looked at Nigeria and may have concluded based on the 'popularity' of our players, that Nigeria doesn't have game changers or match winners Let's not go too far...when we played Madagascar we looked at the team to know what they were all about...many including me assumed that Madagascar couldn't do anything to Nigeria... We didn't know them at all and many of us thought it may be a routine 1 or 2 nil win Look at how that turned out 1 Like |

darkelf:let's not disrespect the algerians they're a good team it's not for nothing that they are unbeaten the only reason I'm really confident of Victory is because I feel we have the personnel to nullify them and score against them hopefully if we play a disciplined defensive game like we did against Guinea I don't see how the Algerian defence won't concede |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Nedville: 2:07pm On Jul 14, 2019 |
darkelf: That's strange.... How do you know that? Have you lived there? Do you go from house to house in Warsaw...interviewing every family and asking whether they follow football or not? Your insistence is vague....you can't say for sure whether an average Nigerian fan knows football more than an average polish fan.... But let's assume Nigerians actually know football more than polish fans....Nigeria is about to play a match with England in the world cup We call random citizens from us Venezuela Honduras north Korea Canada Sweden...and we ask them to name players from england or Nigeria off hand....from which country will they name more? What ever your answer is...will it affect the interviewed person's opinion whether england will win or Nigeria will win? If it does or doesn't, give yourself a huge round of applause My question was never about who knew more between casual polish and Nigerian football fans |

I didn't quite watch the women's world cup that much but from the much I watched, I think the quality of games at this AFCON has been worse when compared to the women's world cup...technically Very very low.. |

Turkish giants Besiktas have moved in to improve the two million Euros offered by Dutch club Heerenveen for Chidera Ejike Heerenveen have made a firm offer of 2 million Euros for the Valerenga forward and his representatives are due in Holland to finalise the transfer. The Dutch club have proposed a four-year deal for Ejike. However, it has been further learnt that Besiktas among several other interested clubs may see the player’s transfer to Holland fall through as they hope to improve on the offer by Heerenveen. “It’s a very fluid situation as several other clubs including Besiktas are ready to improve on the Heerenveen offer for the player,” a representative of the player said. Former Nigeria U17 star Ejike, 21, has been consistent in Norway and this season he has netted five goals and provided several assists for his club. Last season, he came close to joining top Belgian side Club Brugge. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DkT0iMguwbJo&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiS3fO3vbTjAhWbilwKHYafDE0QtwIwAXoECAkQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1J3zANZuKP4Ijoly2I1uGR |

elyte89: Lol...we are saying the same thing He mentioned exceptions in his quote, Spanish dutch English Germans Brazil etc....players from these countries are known universally in football spheres....I used examples of Spain england and Germany...obviously I didn't use Finland or republic of Ireland or others...they are not as popular Oya let's call a random villager from india and ask him who he knows between neymar and sadio mane...he will most likely say neymar...whether neymar is better than mane is up to you to decide...but this Indian might assume neymar is better than mane because he is more popular....and this is what leads other people to assume a country will beat another country in a tournament.. Average random people all over the world concluded Germany will beat south Korea in world cup.... Ah ozil ah kroos...ah muller....he go kill them....ah Phillip lahm was here...them get players die They came to south korea and could only think of son being min and ki sun yeung...wetin dem sabi?

darkelf: Obviously because I don't care who does My point exactly....in case you got lost...was that some countries have more popular players than others....this is what makes others to believe that if a heavyweight meets a lesser country...the heavyweight will win most of the time Whether the popular players are actually better than those from lesser countries....for example whether Jesse lingard is better than onyekuru, is anybody's guess...but many casuals will go with lingard to perform on the day ahead of onyekuru, because they know who lingard is and where he plays...as opposed to onyekuru It is why we were labelled favourites against Madagascar....we had better players who are more popular I said that I'm guessing that's what influenced boutabout to say what he said...because he knows his own players and doesn't really know ours Whether Algerians oo or polish people know football more isn't really my concern...I'm only trying to establish a theory as to why boutabout feels confident of his nations chances due to the fact that according to him...Nigeria does not have 'big name' players 2 Likes |
