They can put all kind of laws in place. How about the law that will promote a green city. Starts with allocating 30% of all plots for landscaping..

Engineering wise the Rail track should be built not at the middle of the road but at either of the sides.
Accident from Automobiles or that of train will be very fatal if the track is laid at the middle.
There would be a median and it would be elevated.

I was one of those who called for Ndidi and Onyedika to be partnered by in all honesty, I was disappointed with the outcome. They seemed not to have defined roles. Who was the DM and who was the CM in that match? There was no synergy between the two

You can't play midfielders with no ball skills and expect magic. Ghana and Mali's midfielders are miles ahead of ours.

Napoli making me believe super Eagles have serious and crazy Midfield problem.

Running into spaces, one-touch football, passing precision are what our midfielders are lacking.

Wingers do not release the ball quickly enough.

Cape verde vs South Africa is like a boxing match. Both teams take turns in pressing each other.
If you want to see beautiful football with no end product this is the game for you.
Nigeria should comfortably dispatch any of the teams.

I'm not good with predictions and using my guts to tell the outcome of a match.

But I can tell if SE will win a match within the context of our play. As in from the way we play, I can tell if we will win or not. Like from the blast of the whistle and the way we hustled every ball in the match against Cameroun I knew we'd win. Even when Semi's goal was canceled, I told the guy I was watching the match with, that naija will still score.

And my logic is simple: if we play well, we win. Of course sometimes we play well and lose and sometimes we play badly and win but generally the best play wins


Yeah, usually from the first 10-15mins of a game you can tell who the better team is baring any twists and turns in the game.

Please let Peseiro change his formation. The 4-3-3 is much more balanced and productive in terms of chances created.

If he must go with three at the back, let him play 3-5-2 with Iwobi at AM and Osimhen and a strike partner in front. The 3-4-3 leaves a wide gaping hole in the center of our midfield which Guinea Bissau exploited at the beginning of the last match to dominate possession.

We cannot afford to abandon possession to a team that actually knows what to do with the ball. Ire o!

It is easier to defend with 5-4-1 than with 5-3-2

Brother have you properly checked this thing
Sure this doesn’t look like Morocco in the Semifinals undecided

We would play Morocco or Cape Verde in the semifinals

I have a feeling Cape Verde will edge Morocco, maybe Pks, but still early talk.

I've watched almost all the AFCON MATCHES.

What I noticed is that NIGERIA MATCHES ARE ALWAYS BORING.

I dropped my phone at a point when watching yesterday.

Unlike today's matches (Gambia Vs Cameroon, Algeria Vs Mauritania) that are super interesting.

Boring but effective. The system Nigeria are playing now will roll over any of these teams.

Who was the keeper in the opposing team?

The keeper of the possibles team is usually our starting goal keeper. Either Nwabali or Uzoho at this point

Our Midfield is limited in creativity and fighting spirit. We need to sort this out sooner.

kendrick9:

There was 90mins plus added time to score a goal the Eagles couldn't.
Blame the GK all want, but this Nigerian team have found it difficult to score goals against any semi decent side who put up a fight.
Ghana, Tunisia, Guinea Bissau etc .
Same story...
If the team was scoring 2-3+ goals every game and conceding in equal amounts then you can look to your defensive and GK department.
But these lots are losing 1- 0 and barely created decent chances in these games.

FOR THE FLYING EAGLES TO PLACE THIRD: THE BRAZIL U20 TEAM MUST BEAT THEM BY A 3-0 MARGIN WHILE ITALY DEFEATS DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BY ANY SCORE LINE.
FOR THE FLYING EAGLES TO PLACE SECOND: THE BRAZIL U20 TEAM MUST BEAT THEM BY A 2-0 MARGIN IRRESPECTIVE OF THE OUTCOME OF THE ITALY v DOMINICAN REPUBLIC GAME.
FOR THE FLYING EAGLES TO PLACE 1ST THEY MUST NOT LOSE BY MORE THAN 1-0 MARGIN TO BRAZIL AS A WORST POSSIBLE OUTCOME.
IN ALL THE PERMUTATIONS NIGERIA HAS ALREADY QUALIFIED BECAUSE UZBEKISTAN'S GROUP AND SENEGAL'S GROUP MAY HAVE A THIRD PLACED WHOSE MAXIMUM POINTS CAN ONLY BE 4POINTS AND NIGERIA ALREADY HAS 6POINTS

Whether you use caps or not, there are holes in this analysis, but we get your point.
I don't really trust FE not to lose to Brazil. Let's see how the game goes.

The format for Qualifying should not be hard.
Not sure a tournament will be able to decide fairly or accurately

9 groups of 5 teams 45 in total (After the Lowest ranked teams engage in a 2-legged contest to determine qualification for the groups)
The top teams in the 9 groups qualify!

If it is 10 teams then have 10 groups of 4 teams each.
The team leading a group with the lowest stats (points, goals, difference, fair play will play in the playoff)
