Oga humility you like wahala too much and sometimes you dey fall my hands o.....did you really know what is going on in Nigeria,no trust again,the stupid politicians have made us to be suspecting each other...even on this thread there are comments you just need to read and move on or else this place will turn to carcass and we will not be able to rebuild it again.

Sir,Oh on Facebook and what do you expect,everywhere tribal supremacy,going to twitter and see comments...my man let just shun any tribal issues here so that we can continue to maintain our aims and objectives which is supporting super eagles.

JohnBullMySon:

If not recently i never see Nigerians complaining that their region or tribe is not fully represented in the national teams....I remember no single south westerner in Nigeria Japan 93 squad and the team was celebrated mostly by south west people with donations.Then people always supporting the team irrespective of players involved......but now everything has hidden agenda with people read meaning to views ir comments....oh he is supporting Nwakili cos he is a Igbo man or he is supporting Aina cos he is a Yoruba man...oh don't mind him he is defending Sadiq cos he is from the north,no thanks to our politicians.

Honestly,prior to Afcon Sadiq was one of the hyping players here and those who talked good about him are not northerners.Zaidu Sanusi is highly rated here even before he moved to Fc Porto,a moniker Chriskels brought our attention to Sanusi when he was with unknown team in Portuguese division one....Komekn criticized Sanusi often and he never did that on tribal level but football reasoning and I can tell you I don't rate him but am well pleased with his performance so far....Football or sports in general is beyond which region you come from but pure talent.

Sir,I don't want you to have that beliefs that Sadiq was criticized cos he is from the north?NO,prior to Afcon a lot here rated Sadiq than Awoniyi

Omanambala:



This is low down dirty and inaccurate. I prefer Nwakali because he can hold the midfield better than Aribo , which statistics shows. How many chances has Aribo created in this competition ? Who has better pass average ?Long ball ? dead ball ? You know the truth but you are acting ddumb or what ? Please , when you quote me say what i said and don't make up some idiotic comments.

I don't make arguments in vacuum; I stated exactly why i want Nwakali but you conveniently ignored that that write the nonsense you have above. This will be the second time i am calling you to order. Please , get your facts right.

But , in case you have a memory loss or comprehension problems i will repeat myself again.....read below because i will not be correcting you again.

Aribo is not a midfield conductor which weakens our midfield because Ndidi will have to sit back because to calm things in the middle....we have seen that Ndidi played his best games in the presence of Nwakali but struggles with Aribo....Nwakali has better stats than Aribo in this tournament....fact!

Remember I have often criticized Ndidi for his limited ball playing involvement but I never condemned his quality ,but I have seen andrew44 saying I hate Ndidi. But , of course , andrew is not a man of logic. Danielnino actually corrected him about my position on Ndidi. People here are fueled by emotions including you. How could you put me and komekn in same subject. Komekn that turns logic upside down.


In my books Nwakali is a better midfielder than Aribo when it is down to the basic duties of a midfielder.....You can play Aribo when you careless about the welfare of your midfield, because we all know Aribo cant orchestrate the midfield. Yall praise the guy to high heavens but Nwakali stats has been better....

Would have ignored your mention

But u know silent can be consent sometimes

U really lack comprehension of what I wrote or you allow sentiment becloud your understanding of what I wrote

I saw the comments of your brothers all over Facebook truly it is neusating and annoying to see persons call the coach biased simply because he didn't play musa and more

U need to understand that sentiments will never take anyone organisation or country far

The person I quoted wasn't referring to this thread but fb or twitter where most people were dragging the Sadiq matter along tribal line instead of footballing. They called him all derogatory names; cow, aboki etc. They said he was invited based on "quota system, connection or a minister boy." If that was true, what about the other guy invited from the same league? Did anyone say he was invited based on quota system? Instead, she decided to pick what would suit her bias narrative that Northerners are defending Sadiq.



It was the same Komekn that Said Sanusi was all pace but no brain... A typical Aboki. Can't they just criticize without attaching where he comes from or using a derogatory word like "Aboki" to refer to all northerners?


Despite all the criticisms Onuachu faced, I never saw anyone calling his tribe or where he comes from when criticizing his performance.



I have never come here to clamor for the inclusion of any northerner or even hype any player before. I followed this thread because it was talking about Super Eagles and TheSupernerd previous thread talking about Nigerian players abroad not northerners.

PurpleHouse:
If youv'e followed this tournament closely then you know anything can happen that can change a game within seconds. All this finals and semi finals you are talking of shows complacency.

It means you don't rate your opponents. We should never underate anyone, talkless of a team that had half of their team out for Convid related reasons.

I am rooting for and hoping Nigeria wins. In fact, if we play with the grit and desire we've played with so far, we will win. And then hopefully luck is on our side too. We can beat Tunisia. Yes. But please let us not be carried away ooh. Like I said, and i'll say it again, the game is 50/50. Because these guys are going to want to prove themselves. They will fight.

We pray that luck favours us.
This is a game, not a guess work with assurances. Make una calm down.

TheSuperNerd:
Naaah, I don't consider Ighalo as part of the central attacking picture anymore (and he even scored yesterday sef ). Was only explaining the place of Onuachu Pre-Afcon with Ighalo in the picture then.

Post-Afcon it's gonna be Osimhen as number 1. Awo as number 2 based on expected continued Solid showing in Cameroun. And I expect Awo to bag one or two vs Tunisia and keep bagging till we get to the final. This is not overconfidence. I just know the lads will take things a notch higher than they did against Egypt.

And then a returning Onuachu will be looking to push Awo for that #2 spot.



The others outside these 3 above like Umar, Moffi, Dennis, Okereke, etc will have to bide their time.

Mujtahida:

If we like let us over rate or under rate our opponents, it has zilch effect on Eguavoen and the team. Eguavoen has repeatedly said that they respect all teams and they take it game by game and that each game will be played like its the final.

forgiveness:
We are getting our opponent from group F.

Make I go check who Dey dere.

Why the discrimination on ighalo? For example, the top scorer at this tournament is Aboubakar and he plays at the same league as ighalo and ighalo is the top scorer. My friend, in the absence of osimehn, I’m more confident with ighalo than sadiq

gomojam:
So what do u think. Are gonna win against Tunisia?

Starboytwo:
Alright, I know this is football but a norms a person that qualified top of his group should beat someone who came third.

To my Tunisian friend.

Tell your players to pack the bags already, no need for too much after party, from stadium bus carry everyone to the airport and find your way, if you are quick enough, you can do like Partey.


I would so much love Cameroon-Nigeria final. Y’all know watta mean.

Football statistics website Whoscored.com has published the best eleven following the conclusion of the group stage of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, with one Nigeria player, Moses Simon making the cut.

Only nine nations have contributed players to the Best XI with Senegal and Ivory Coast leading the way with two each, while Sierra Leone, Sudan, Cameroon, Nigeria, Morocco, Cameroon and Tunisia have one player each.

In a 4-4-2 formation, Simon is deployed as an attacking midfielder with Ivory Coast's Nicolas Pepe (Arsenal), Morocco's Sofiane Boufal (SCO Angers) and Ivory Coast's Ibrahim Sangaré (PSV Eindhoven) completing the midfield four.

Kamara (Sierra Leone) starts in goal and the back four contains Bouna Sarr (Senegal), Pape Abou Cisse (Senegal), Mustafa Karshoum (Sudan) and Nouhou Tolo (Cameroon), and the attackers are Vincent Aboubakar (Cameroon) and Wahbi Khazri (Tunisia).

Simon is credited with one goal and one assist in three appearances at AFCON 2021, and the Nantes winger was involved in the build up to the goal scored by William Troost-Ekong vs Guinea-Bissau.

He was the top rated player against Sudan and Guinea-Bissau, has been successful in 79.6 percent of his passes, averaged 2.3 shots per game and five dribbles per game.

What is quite funny is that Nigeria's best performing player in this competition has been Moses Daddy Simon, a Northerner, but because his name is not Sadiq or Umar, his people want to die by the one with a name they can relate to, despite doing poorly.


Make everybody check their sentiments. It is not good to die by mediocrity because of a relatable name
