Fmghewzy:Adverse weather? The players are sweating massively after 30 minutes and taking cooling breaks!! So which is it now? Covid or adverse weather cause it seems you've veered from your initial claim |

Dancebreaker:Afcon was played in 2012 and 2013 to correct the clash of Afcon with World Cups. That's why Afcon was shifted to the odd number years since 2013. So by that covid shouldn't have affected afcon. But even at that, my curiosity is if we are playing afcon in 2024, why can't we call it afcon 2024? Why 2023 |

Timoleon:That means CAF needs to sit up and get its scheduling correct! If they want to play in summer, they should go ahead and do so. If they prefer the January window, they should stick with it. This misalignment of schedule and names because of Europe is becoming embarrassing. Africa is not an appendage of Europe. Thanx did the brilliant analysis though. You're the only one with cogent explanation and sense. |

โThe present Super Eagles are not strong in two major areas of the field โ the midfield and goalkeeping,โ the former Nigeria captain and 1980 Afcon winner Segun Odegbami said. โThere is little that can be done about the teamโs strength without the influence of a few players with exceptional skills and abilities in certain areas. There is a dearth of creative and attacking midfield players, who can hold and distribute the ball well.โ SURCE |

Kukutente23: Embarrassing to who? Dem call you for the meeting? Abi Dem complain give you? Afcon is going on as planned. Your feelings have no influence on any of the proceedings. If you no watch, them no go notice. Leave nonsense grammar abeg. |

Kukutente23:It must have been awarded with the title Afcon 2024. The same way Euro 2020 was awarded as such and still called Euro 2020 even though it was played in 2021. These are conventions involving many nations and FAs. Fact is various reasons can cause postponement and rescheduling. |

Tapout: It not by insult sir. We are having a simple discussion. If you can find me one player even in the Ivory coast set up bigger than victor oshimen then I will gladly collect the clown tag. Plus the stats speak for itself. Not what you feel. In our last game, we had more shots on goal, more chance created and more corners. What are you basing ur own argument on. Other than your feelings. |

kokakola:You are right bro. There are a lot of psychopath in this world. That is the reason why several of these people don't make it in life. They are always negative when several people are positive. Why must you wish your national team bad all the time. Even, if the government are not meeting up to your expectations, must you transfer your aggression on common football or wishing the people involved bad luck. People need to change their perception on the Super Eagles of Nigeria. 1 Like |

I don't bet, but those who do, bet against Nigeria so that it'll be a win-win for you. If Nigeria loses, you make money. If we win, you lose money, but feel good we won. |

Dancebreaker: There is no convention, it was because of COVID that euro/Afcon were not played in 2020, hence the back dating. |

The Nigerian team prefers prayer to working on their tactics and attitude to the game. As I type this, they may already be holding praise and worship sessions already. And before the match starts, they will also congregate for prayers, as if to show the world their piety. Forgetting that the other team is also religious too. The point is, if they don't work hard and improve their game, they will be humiliated out of the tournament. |

Kukutente23: I never it was covid before , while covid might be a contributing factor it wasn't the main reason. Think naa, imagine them playing now and yet they are taking Cooling breaks . Imagine what would have happened if they had gone ahead to play then. Same thing happened to the Asian cup, it ought to be played last year too, but it was postponed. Climate change... all those news , you no dey read am, or you yourself haven't noticed changes Before you say something stupid like you said before, read news and try to stay updated |
