Excuses some people here give for rubbish football games, they won't take such if it were their football clubsthat they support o. Is it a virus to be winning friendlies and winning in tournament proper? Is such back2back run of form a taboo for the Nigerian national teams since 2000s? Are you not tired to be the only national in Africa consistently using that silly excuse for the national team? Besides, the inference from that shows we are clowns. Yes!! We should win friendlies is such a taboo that if we win them and can't replicate in afcon, you'll say they overdo. If dem lose friendly and win in tournament, you'll be beating your chest that "they think say na friendly we come do here!" Up the standards abeg. Demand more. They should be balling approximately to the standards not blowing hot and/or cold when it matters. 6 Likes |

Never write off a Nigerian team going to AFCON! Reflecting on the 2004 AFCON: the Nigerian team's rollercoaster journey that defied expectations. It all began with a setbackβa loss to Morocco in the opening game, compounded by the dismissal of Babayaro and Yakubu due to indiscipline. Many believed it spelled the end for Nigeria's campaign. Yet, against all odds, the team, captained by Okocha and led by Kanu, rallied. Their resilience and determination became evident as they fought their way back into contention. Amidst the challenges, a new star emerged in the form of the young Osaze, who fearlessly showcased his talent on the grand stage, signaling the birth of a promising career. Advancing from the group stage with an impressive victory over South Africa, Nigeria faced a formidable challenge in the quarterfinals against Cameroon. With many considering Cameroon, led by Eto'o, as the favorites, the odds seemed stacked against the Super Eagles. However, in a thrilling encounter, Nigeria displayed their tenacity. Jay Jay's stunning free-kick just before halftime leveled the score, setting the stage for an intense second half. Then, a moment of brilliance from Papillo resulted in one of the most memorable assists in football history, setting up Utaka for a remarkable goal. Utaka's strike, though seemingly slow and uncertain at first, found its mark, hitting the post and finding the net. The sheer joy and ecstasy of that moment were palpable, with celebrations erupting both on the field and among fans. Such was the intensity of the moment that some fans were so caught up in celebration that they didn't realize they were injured, like the person who reportedly lost a thumb in the excitement! Despite their valiant efforts, Nigeria faced a heart-wrenching defeat in the semifinals against the host nation, Tunisia, in a penalty shootout. The loss, although hard-fought, was not without controversy, leaving a feeling that with the aid of VAR, victory might have been within our reach! S/O to Yobo, Olofijana Okoronkwo, Abey George, Udeze etc To my fellow countrymen, let not this friendly setback dampen your spirits. I am confident that the Super Eagles will regroup and soar at the AFCON. I promise you! 4 Likes 2 Shares |

From my perspective loosing to Guinea 2 in a important Friendly, is good news. From failure success is created and made. We will go into this tournament knowing we have a lot of work to do not over confident but with dogged determination knowing any mistake will be punished. It stops the any ego trips based on past glories. The HARD WORK ethic will now be instilled ,no room for error 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Marjoribanks:Well written and of course you are an incurable optimist which is a great thing. Better to be an optimist than a pessimist. I remember the tournament very well with the team led by Chairman Christian Chukwu. But in this instance, I believe JP is incompetent in my opinion.

AndSunGorilla: I share your sentiments... I'm here thinking our current form won't matter given that we have shown that we can step up when people least expect..But Peseiro doesn't inspire me with confidence.. For one thing, he has shown that he doesn't want to switch the team lineup and tactic from the archaic 4-4-2 despite many proof that it doesn't work anymore... The man no sabi at all... |

Maybe or Maybenot! We shall know in few days time! Nevertheless! A team with Iwobi, Bassey, Zaidu, Aina, Onyeka, Onyedika, Aribo, Boniface, Lookman, Chukwueze, Simon, Ajayi, Bruno, Osayi, Kelechi and the current APOTY is one of the most formidable team any African country will face! Nigerians have nothing to be anxious about! The Super Eagles will deliver! My prayer is they all stay fit!! AndSunGorilla: 1 Like 1 Share |
