I remember one day I go viewing center make I watch man utd match but dem never start, na Barca dey play with one team.

For good 10 minutes, those people leg no touch ball, I sat there wondering which kain mumu ball be this Only pass pass pass pass, no dribble, no legover, no outside shot, just pass pass and triangles

For LA Liga, na athletico or madrid I fit watch, atleast you go see goals or fight.
That's why I hate it so much because it turns our idea of football on its head. It's anti - football. Football is, you play, I play and the better team wins. No be to deny me of the ball by running triangles up and down in crisp fashion. I just don't like it at all. So sterile.

Reply to first paragraph: I never said Salah would have scored 4 or 5 goals by now if he wasn't injured. I simply asked if you thought Salah wouldn't have scored up to three goals by now. There's a difference πŸ˜„


Reply to second paragraph: Osimhen is the current APOTY. It is expected that more eyes will be on him than others. With great power comes great responsibility.


Reply to third paragraph: Nothing concerns me with Senegal; this is a Super Eagles thread, but be honest with yourself, despite how hard Mane worked for the team and even got some assists, will you say he had a good tournament for a player of his calibre? That's my point.


I have said earlier that it's football and it happens, that the team has progressed, I think we should cut him some slack, it's obvious he was exhausted from the last game. He even scored today and was disallowed, he had a shot on target in the first half. I think he has tried, perhaps dealing with the huge weight of expectations. The team is in the semis and am impressed with the players including oshimen, I must be honest like you said, I never give this team a chance but with where they are am well pleased with oshimen and the boys.

N:B that senegal team has peaked and it's expected for decline to set in, Let's not forget Senegal and Mane has been knocking the door for some years before they won the last afcon, it will be unfair for anyone to criticise Mane

the scoreline did us no justice. But we tore that defense apart but luck helped them.
We had our chances. Once again our attack fluffs chances

He was very good today and against Cameroon πŸ‡¨πŸ‡²
We can deploy Moses as RB. He's good defensively. Remember one ball he lost, he followed the Angolan deep into our half and recovered it.

Goke7:


I believe this coach has a plan B He has also said if he's looking for goals then we will see the likes of Iheancho come in. I have always asked that if Oshimen is not scoring what's our plan b and the coach has answered with games against Cameroon and Angola. The goal against Angola today was a slight change in tactic cos that was a different type of goal we have seen from the Eagles so far. If you observe again we are becoming a bit deadly with set pieces, that's a massive improvement.

The coach just like to score first and lock up shop and throw away the key. Am sure if he concedes first he will respond differently. I observe he's trying to stick with a winning team rather than chopping up changes here and there.

He said that the reason why he likes to score first is because he noticed that our team doesn't do well when we are hit first.

He should work on this after the tournament cos it's not everytime we will score first

Angola tried parking the bus between 10-30mins of the first half and they saw Iwobi would kill them

Angola coach said he knew SE’s weaknesses. He still lost but he did know something. We need to stop wasting chances. Good tactical sides will hit target (shots on target) regardless of our defensive formation.

Guys, if we win this AFCON, we will match Ghana's 4 AFCONs and they will no longer be able to chat to us on that front.
It would be unbearable for them because the last time they won afcon was when it was an 8 team tournament.🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣

Whoever is in the media crew of this squad better be ready to drop a miniseries of what's going on backstage. I believe Finidi is very influential on these players as assistant coach because many of them were not born or were kids when he was a top global baller that year. They can't form or be stubborn to such figure.

Simon is has 2 MOTM currently if I'm not mistaken.
