Truth be said, it's better to start a tournament slowly and build momentum as you progress, most teams who win tournaments are like that like the Kesh team that won afcon. I was sceptical with the way we started from the first game as a house on fire and mind you this is a young team with not much experience.

Kudos to the eagles, hope they will learn from this. Am sure nff boss will be happy to justify his hiring of a foreign coach.

There is something that attitude , desire and determination can do for you that makes you overcome a better team.

We simply did not turn up, the entire first half was very poor we beat ourselves . There was no desire to win .

We lost the game because we did not turn up to WIN it's as if we believed our own hype. I too was affected I even bought into the hype my prediction we win 4-1.

Put aside objectivity and got carried away .

I actually was a bit concerned we had win all our of games against all odds relatively easily. When you have to fight your way from the beginning you don't get complacent.

If we had lost one game before qualifying our heads would not have got so SWOLLEN.

Musa for Aribo was the silliest substitution in football history! How I wished Umar scored that goal? Umar is a baller!

Eguavoen was already heading for failure when he kept same line up from the first two games. Keshi succeeded by being ruthless in his team selection for the 2013 AFCON. One he sensed a player to be the weak link, he wasn't hesitant to drop said player to the bench. His problems began when he invited carpenters.
I never expected seeing Chukwueze in today's game

safarigirl:


Thank you for this.

lloydtruth:

Osihmen would have been more impactful than Awoniyi. Awoniyi made us looked one man down even before the red card.

5inchdick:

There's a reason I didn't make my fear known from the beginning and that's because we were basking in the euphoria of a perceived "Identity" under Eguavoen. I also wouldn't like to speak negative about him because we lost too. I felt we'd lose this game immediately I saw the line-up was the same as the first two games.

I still don't consider Eguavoen a better coach than Rohr as the later was also impressive in his first few outing with the Eagles.

The famous poet Alexandra Michelle once wrote and I quote

“collapse to release,
release to surrender.

surrender to let go,
let go to break down.

break down to fell,
feel deeply to cleanse.

cleanse to be free,
be free to just cry.

crying is cleansing”.


Follow her words and flood here with tears

Personally, I think Nigeria real competition will commence in the Semi final vs Senegal. It’s when I will judge Eguavoen coaching ability. For now, our squad is much much stronger than all these teams that we have played against

Nigeria will face Mali not Senegal. Mark this!!!

You wish .... Pain has engulfed you and you in the stages of grief unable to accept what is but hoping on what should have been , ndo

drDoom3:


Safarigirl hope you saw the Sadiq you said should take bus back home after the Bissau game? See the way my guy played like prime Benzema combined with a touch of Ibrahimovic today. There was one dribble he did today that made me stand up from my seat.

I told you the guy is a confidence player, that once he gets his confidence his real talent will show.

Stormtrooper11:

That’s why Nigeria won't show them mercy

This game was way above our coach level, match that they shut our wingers off and was dominating us in the midfield, all it needed was a major tactical input and he was a no show.

forgiveness:


How? Is he super man? Who will create the chances for him?

You definitely don’t anything about football.

darkelf:


Bros, we won't qualify

Ghana has been emboldened by what happened today.

Trust me, Ghana would beat us

Nostradamus1:
we want sweet football

darkelf:


They are already arguing about who to face in the semi-finals

Even that World cup, they won't qualify



Icon4s, Mr Patriotism, where at thou.

As far as I am concerned, the only monicker here who predicted a 50-50 game was Elyte89 and forgiveness

The rest was talking about which players would score B4 even match start
