Funny how everybody believes Ivory Coast will easily beat Egypt, but Nigeria will struggle against Tunisia

The Tunisia I watched today will be beaten by a well-coached home based Nigerian team. Their carpentry is peerless. Only Hannibal Mejbri played like someone with a bit of sense in that Tunisian midfield.......and he bagged himself a red card suspension so.....

They will be very lucky to escape us with a 2-0 loss.

Yes, Nigeria has really given this AFCON some publicity, in terms of good football. Perhaps, one of the more serious teams, because the tournament has been associated with clownery more than good, decent flowing ball.


Nigeria has really stood out, and you can see that even with the engagements CAF gets especially on Twitter, if not that they want to die by Mo Salah hype, Nigeria is literally there for all the marketing. Use the population, use the online presence, use the diaspora presence, use the beautiful kits, the beautiful football, the beautiful players.

If I were in the Publicity committee of AFCON, na Nigeria I go just dey use for engagements and publicity, because nobody has quite as much clout


6am shocked

Be like the kit thing don dey spread. See Arsenal's

Dictates midfield? Go watch Ivory Coast midfield (Seri and Kessie) versus Algeria.

Supported this team from day one with very optimistic posts here. We need to Understand that pointing out your opponents threat is not calling for doom. It is called being realistic. It is called being "alerted to their threats."

You don't just write a team off, you access a team and point out your opinion. Not with sentiments, but facts. Facts... And I'm not one of the fake "idealist" here who wish facts were wishes. I'm a realist.

Please if you have facts and evidence where I pointed out doom for Nigeria, a country I have mostly professed my love for severally here, please bring them out and i'll forever dissapear from this thread.

Nigeria currently is the team to beat, Tunisia has 2 red cards today with 12 players out with COVID-19 (whether they'll recover before Sunday is another story entirely).

Give or take, the game is ours to lose. It's time to really make a statement you know (roar it).

If you're on Twitter search for @Lotfiwada and see how scared to the marrow the Tunisians are

If you saw my last statement then you see where I said the better side will win, and I hope that's us.

I'm one of the few here from the beginging who said Nigeria will win the cup. Many here were saying Cameroon, Algeria, blah blah, I was just laffing. But we must show more grit and take our chances..

Thars Why I said this game is 50/50. The most hungry team will win. And I pray that should be us.

That Gambian team was populated by players from the Swiss fourth division, English fourth division etc. And they bossed the shii out of Tunisia. Are you saying we can not get players from the NPFL who can beat Swiss fourth-division clubs if well coached?

We have history with Tunisia but this very set are an embarrassment to the previous set we've faced.

They can't even control a game. Bissau played better than them to me. If Simon catch them, he'll pull a hegazy on their defenders.


Eguavoen met Morocco and Bouazizi missed his pk and then we lost to CIV that year. Now we meet Tunisia and have Burk/Gabon in our path.


They'll be very wary of us. I jope Eguavoen is ready for them tryna park the bus to go to PK?

Any game before starting should be 50/50 except in the EPL against Man City. However I like Eguavoen's mentality in that we approach each game like a cup final. No team can and should be underrated. Anything can happen in a game of soccer. Even in this afcon, we have already recorded so many upsets. Yes we are favorites to win based on our performance so far but I refuse to be complacent personally. Hopefully we shall triumph.

I'm actually very much miffed by some of the ridiculous takes I have seen on this thread about Tunisia.

Must you people comment? If you have nothing reasonable to say, shey you cannot share your fears with your family members and leave it out of this thread?

Nigeria did what we had to do as a team. We qualified top of our group, we made sure to remain on our home turf, and if any team has anything to fear, it is the team that was useless enough to lose to tournament debutants and finish third.

I don't know what some people are fearful about or whatever they wish to call it, but I will take Tunisia a thousand times over Ivory Coast in this Round of 16 and Tunisia will have to suffer for their folly. They picked the wrong one.

Whether you are complacent enough or not does not matter.

I keep on telling people on the internet, the only people whose mindset truly matters is the players on the pitch and the coach. The rest of us are just armchair analysts and fans.

We judge by name but omit Nigeria from such venn diagram. Funny lots. Do you think these same teams don't quake far worse than we do for them? Why do we love to underrate our own despite the 100% record? So na Tunisia no dey fear? Smh



Meanwhile, what are we doing regarding both our Setpieces conversion, and the crosses? Mali vs Mauritania..... O boi. Sweet crosses with better goal threat from them.

Noticed that barely any Defence have been able to deal accurately with crosses since this Afcon began. We might just want to rake up the numbers cos we have the flair to me.

We shouldn't underestimate any team in this tournament, there's been a lot of surprising results and any little mistake or error you're out of the competition. The team need to remain focused and treat the rest of the upcoming games as a final.
