Abeg make we meet Malawi

TheSuperNerd:
Watching the penalty incident and Ola Aina is clearly at fault here.

I cannot believe some folks in here were trying to defend this. Aina was careless in that moment.

He stepped on the Sudanese and pulled his Jersey.

Absolutely no need for such. He wasn't even a threat. Na wa.


Some folks here and their agenda ehn. Aina had a World Class game vs Egypt and he was very solid today but that penalty call is all on him.

He should please be more careful henceforth.

IDENNAA:


You are out of your mind. In fact , you are beginning to sound crazy. Do me a favor , leave my name out of your posts. Who da ffuck do you think you are , TheSuperNerd...ffuckk off , biko! You are getting carried away.

IDENNAA:


One thing synonymous with all is they are groomed abroad. Interesting you had no passion for any Nigerian groomed players. Any reason ?

TheGoodJoe:


What is your point?

Are you saying Kelechi Nwakali is not good at long balls?

Or, are you saying you did not see a touch of Kelechi Nwakali's long ball ability in the game?

zuchyblink:
Okoye inexperienced to be our first choice goal keeper.
Aina's foul on that player was clumsy.
Awoniyi missed his opportunity of getting his first hat trick in GWG by missing 4 chances. I love the way he bullies opponents defenders
Great team display.
Chukwueze,Simon,Aribo, Zaidu, Ekong and Omeruo ran the show.
Aribo's fluidity was orgasmic.

minfelix:

Yeah it's looking likely to be Malawi, I dont see Sierra Leone maintaining that top 4 Third placed team....a win for Ghana against comoros will further push them out of the top third placed teams and plus CIV will use the West African gidigbo style to win them today

nairalandankrah:
It looks like we will have a relatively easy route to the finals. Bar Senegal in the quarters or semis, but apart from that it looks easy:

Gambia / Sierra Leone (1/8 final), Burkina Faso / Guinea / Senegal (1/4 final) and Senegal / Algeria / Mali (semis).

Senegal - Nigeria might be a game worthy of the final.

Stormtrooper11:


From what I saw against Sudan, Sierra Leone can beat Nigeria on penalties if we don't compose our attack, dictate play in the middle, reduce unnecessary long balls and establish a proper defense-Goalkeeper coordination/Communication

Samueltemi337:
Sierra Leone way we go thrash

Kog45:
Oga Zuchy,Awoniyi missed 4 chances?clear chances or what....the only chance he missed was a pass given to him by Iwobi which was even in a tight corner and difficult than open chance Ighalo missed against Argentina.

Oga Zuchy,Taiwo Awoniyi is the 4th rated CF behind Osimehn,Ighalo and Onuachu but post Afcon things will change.

Are you sure Ghana can come second and not 3rd ,what about Gabon ?

Stormtrooper11:


Nigeria can trash anybody in this AFCON. We need to make good use of our chances. We should stop being wasteful. Our defense also needs to be coordinated. Henceforth, i believe we need a 3-man midfield.

andrewbaba44:


I called it a soft PK ,which one be agenda again ?

Na wa for you self

Danielnino00:


Pulling your opponents jersey is a foul anywhere, talkless of inside the 18 yard box... That's the rule...

minfelix:

Ghana will sweat it out to beat comoros, and Gabon will give Morocco a fight to either draw the game or loose by 1-0 and likely leave them at 2nd position

komekn:


No he did not giving the ball away under no pressure on several occasions and unable to fight to get it back.

He was negative and simply not good enough. You don't bring someone in to just pass it on.

Really need to see Onyeka can't understand why he has not played really baffling. The long ball is the preference for player's who lack technical ability and the stamina to go box to box continuously. And take the option to go long most times.

I can assure you that Brentford is hard working team and passengers are not allowed.

zuchyblink:
We are creating a lot of chances but we are not utilizing our chances

Mujtahida:

Haaaa, I didn't see any long balls from him ooo

zuchyblink:
He missed four,one from Nacho, Iwobi,goal mount scramble and Moses. He needs to sieze the opportunity because post AFCON is gonna be tight for him. These players are salivating on that position: Osimehn, Onuachu, Dennis, Moffi et al

andrewbaba44:


Hmmm ,okay o

Kog45:
Good performance so far and I want to give kudos to Austin Eguavoen led technical team.Prior to Afcon Super eagles performances was at it's lowest ebb that required radical changes which led to sack of Gernot Rohr.

Rohr sacked brought needed stability and confidence to the team with more fans ready to watch the team,our victory against Egypt gave us hope that we can do it again by conquering Africa just like we did in 1980,1994 and 2013.

The team lost some of her regulars to injuries especially goals merchant Victor Osimehn but despite that Eguavoen was optimistic and never lose sleep unlike Rohr,against Egypt,Nigeria showed real dominant and against Sudan the team showed real champion traits.

The inclusion and dropping of some players doesn't went well with some football fans especially on this thread,Nwakili,Olisa Ndah inclusion,dropping of Kevin Akpoguma but this happens,fans are not always satisfying when it comes to player selection.....but the team need our support irrespective of players selected.

The analysis here were top notch with different views on how the team perform so far but some still trying to negate the team performance despite securing six points from two matches...some school of thought believes the midfield is not in existence,especially against Sudan but my big question,is it possible scoring three goals without having solid midfield?NO...it was just a game plan of Eguavoen and it paid well...We do forget easily that Sierra leone overran our midfield and came from 4 goals down to level us.

The team is on the right track and sincerely we are winning this Afcon with right attitude.

Good luck Super Eagles.

If Morocco and Gabon play draw Na 3rd for Ghana

Danielnino00:
I'd like to see Eguavon try a 3 man midfield against Guinea Bissau.. Yesterday, for a larger part of the first half, our midfield looked lean..

I'd like to see Ndidi Onyeka Iwobi or Onyeka Nwakali and Iwobi start against Guinea..

Danielnino00:


He lost the ball only 3 times! Which one is "several times?.
His job was to stabilize the midfield and he did that well.. You are just looking for every available opportunity to justify your hatred for the guy...

Just rest

Danielnino00:


Ebuehi might start against Guinea..Cus if Aina picks another yellow against Guinea he will be suspended for the knockout game...
