Thank God O

Plenty supporters came for Super Eagles match

Stadium looking as full as it can be

Aside host countries, as the Super Eagles ever been out-supported by an opponent in a football match? I don't think so.

Which kind side camera dem dey use cover our match so? E kon be like person dey watch Principal cup for Agege stadium.

Starboytwo:
i just checked map, the place is not really far from naija, I guess many will just cross over.

back of calabar or benue

Na so so high ball dem just dey play so far, and Egypt is the major culprit

Stupid ref

Thunder fire Hesgoal

What kind of stupid camera is this

Why not feed us with “bird view” camera angle

Cameroon na useless country
Dem no sabi

This pitch though

Wetin pitch do you again?

5 minutes into the game and Moses Simon don use dribble injure Egyptian player

This early sparring and testing of your opponent seemd to suggest we will dispense with trying to out pass or out play Egypt.

And we can use physicality to overcome technicality and harder working athleticism.

We have already done two long balls to Awoniyi, which is a good tactic. Let Awoniyi rough up the Egyptian defense

Moses Simon Ah what's happening injury already NO

Early signs are promising

Nigeria not playing badly so far... Na make we hold the tempo

Early substitution for Egypt

Simon's first casualty

Thunder fire Hesgoal

Hesgoal na shit . Who get correct link to watch this match?

Mujtahida:

Whether we have stars or not, Nigerians play to win. A Nigerian man will tell you: I will come to your house, I will beat you, I will defeat you, you can't do nathing.
Person wey no be anything go dey ask you: do you know who I am?
A civilian driving a Nigerian Army General, go use that swag oppress people for town just because he's a driver to a General or his wife.

We are naija. We play to win. Shikena. We fit get beat but bro, leave am, we play to win.

That's a level. But we need return to the highest level like it was a decade ago.


Consistent rep in UCL football. That's the top.

Wetin pitch do you again?

looks bouncy based on how the ball is moving.

E b like say nacho dey craze..make e pass na..him wan dribble d whole field

Simon Moses don dribble give opponent knee injury. Minus one already.

Egypt seems to be the wary one o.

Please, it is Egypt playing rubbish football so far, not us

Simon has not been doing badly so far

Come, Salah forget him hair-cream for Liverpool?

Clearly Rohr was the problem Simon had

Clearly Rohr was the problem Simon had

Like play like play

Either carpe verde or Sierra Leone fit go win this AFCON

All these big teams just Dey play “RUDU RUDU , RADA RADA”

For all the hopes on top teams, Senegal has been the most disappointing.


Algeria follow come.

Dem dey substitute ball join

Maybe it's my biased eyes but the Egyptian are looking decidedly much be smaller than us. Aribo is not that big but he looking like an Enforcer and Awoniyi is like Lukaku here

There is no real physical presence in the Egyptian team, but they are slick and tricky.

ChrisKels:
I know it is early days, but this team clearly looks different from what the German bingo offered us. See pressing

Quite early as you said.

Na Franco is missing in front of the German

Love what I've seen so far... Keep pushing boys.
