AndSunGorilla:

Jonathan achieved his success by dint of hardwork, he didn't need the national team to help him. I think he wasn't given enough opportunities to showcase himself plus he played at a time when the team was loaded or when we weren't settled in terms of coaching, remember the White witch doctor Troussier who eventually got fired. And remember Abacha locked the door to the Senior team between 96 and 1999. That Abacha no do well walahi.

His politics cost us a potential Afcon in 96

2023 AFCON DRAW

GROUP A

Ivory Coast (Host)
Nigeria
Equitorial Guinea
Guinea Bissau

At least we.can avoid the hosts till Semis or final abi. We need to be careful against Guinea Bissau. I expect Equatorial Guinea to be the whipping boys of the group but as we all know, football no be mathematics.

Group C is the group of Death for me.

CornOak:


Been on for over 30 mins now.

CAF brought in Mikel Obi, Sadio Mané, Drogba, and Hakimi to conduct the draw.

Asking active and current players to conduct draws doesn't sound right to me.

I'm surprised too.

Unlimited22:

If we're serious we will top that group at a canter.

CiV has home advantage and we need to respect that.

One of the things that make the build up to the AFCON interesting is the banter between fans.. Especially between Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon anf South Africa...its always hot 🔥🔥

Any link to read through such.

In my opinion, we have a squad good enough to make it to the semi finals at least...

We have undoubtedly,the best attacking depth on the continent (strikers...can't say the same for our wingers).. our midfield options is decent too with the every reliable Iwobi, new look Ndidi, Onyeka, Onyedika, Aribo and possibly, Dele-Bashiru... Our defense option is decent too... The main problem is yhe goalkeeping department.

So if we were in pot 1 we would have gotten Ghana in our group.🤔

Because Egypt are the team that took our place up there.

I can see that joy on Osimhen's face. His reuniting once again with the team that loves him the most is bliss for him.

I think what we wanted Sadiq to bring to the team in playing style is what Boniface is accomplishing.

I agree. Boniface brings that and even much more.

Sadiq's Afcon chances hang on Awoniyi's return to full fitness and the form of other strikers before the list is finally drawn up.

Will be key to AFCON Prowess. Dunno why. Daniel Bryan deja vu mode.

Osimhen's first Afcon as Nigeria's Leading Talisman. It's gonna be huge for him but I have a feeling that he will indeed have fun in the land of one of his own football idols.
Osimhen's Joy, passion, drive and strong will to win all coming together to lead this team will be key.

All Peseiro has to do is build this team around Osimhen. Play to his strengths and we could win the title even without few of the tactical elements I know we still miss in the team.

I was sort of expecting a Muani / Isak style from him.

Awwwwn... You recall his "Daniel Bryan" celebration from the U17s. I wonder why he never carried that celebration to senior level. Would have been an instant trademark of his like Mbappe's folded arms and CR7's Suiii.

2023 AFCON DRAW

GROUP A

Ivory Coast (Host)
Nigeria
Equitorial Guinea
Guinea Bissau

decent for us, there are no more push overs in football but super eagles suppose qualify from this group

I foresee CIV topping the group because of home advantage and the super eagles finishing second

One outside shot from the left by the opponent and the goalie leaks in a goal
All that won’t matter

I tell you. We shockingly got knocked out in the last AFCON and missed the last WC for this same reason.

We might get to pay for our extremely weak Goalkeeper department yet again in this AFCON, and even the WC qualifiers.

I am pretty sure that there are decent GKs in our NPL.

do you have any other group? All they do in that group is to compare osimhen and Nigeria against other African players and teams. Especially those ghanians.

It's a folly on our part and says alot about our laziness as a country that since 2018 our goalkeeping options have not deepened beyond Uzoho and Okoye.
Just because we've not had a breakaway foreign born goalkeeper,that position have remained stagnant.
Maybe they should look at Stanley Nwabili of chippa Utd. He appears to be in good form.

I know this is not an English class bro, but even I just got to know yesterday that the bolded is spelt "Ghanaian" and not "Ghanian"... It's also pronounced "ga-nay-an" not "ga-ni-an" ✍🏾

It might help somewhere or someone, who knows 🤷🏾‍♂️, as it is a common error we make everyday.
