Barryseal:hahahaha. U go fear analysis. Who was the coach then? And what was osihmen then?. Omo the kind of analysis I get here at times is something else. So osihmen should just jump in and bench established ighalo. If ighalo was around now, I doubt he will bench osihmen. However this your take is baseless because they played in two different eras . Is like saying a 17yr old Messi was benched by Crespo. Baba osihmen as far as nigerian football is concerned is a legend. We are talking of an AFOTY. GIVE the guy his respect he didn't bribe his way through it. If your so called striker was good, he should have gotten it in his era. Provided he is not crowned, he is well below osimhen. 3 Likes |

Barryseal:you are grasping at straws here my guy. Osimhen's first call up was in 2017. He played 45 minutes in his first game and 5 minutes in the second match. From his first callup right till the starting of the 2019 afcon, out of a possible 24 matches, he was only called up for 5 games. He was clearly still not an established member of the squad. How did you expect him to start over prime ighalo that was our starting striker then. The boy was even in Belgium as at then. This agenda no even follow at All 8 Likes 2 Shares |

We are beginning to get our combination play together. Remember, this is Lookman, Osimhen and Simon first AFCON together. My only problem is Sanusi! He just can't make the right decisions in vital areas. I wish Bassey can be pushed up and Omeruo playing the LCB role. With Bassey at LWB, we will dismantle SA 4 nil. With Sanusi there, we will win 2 nil. DRC will win Ivory Coast on penalties! Let's gooo! Super Eagles! 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Marjoribanks:Jpes would hv experiment starting bassey instead of zaidu and omeruo taking bassey’s position but I think he doesn’t want to make moves that may expose the team because omeruo isn’t a natural LCB Another option is starting Bruno Onyemaechi instead of Zaidu but it seem the porto man is better defensively 3 Likes 1 Share |

I saw this posted on another thread. This is what I was saying about Naija actually underperforming at AFCON. We have more SF appearances than Egypt but they have 4 more titles. Even when you take out their 1957 and 1959 wins when Naija wasn’t even a nation, they still have 5. My prayer is we close that gap by first beating SA then winning the final. ——————————————— Most #AFCON Semi-final APPEARANCES! 🇪🇬 Egypt - 15 🇳🇬 Nigeria - 16 🇬🇭 Ghana - 14 🇨🇮 Ivory Coast - 10 🇨🇲 Cameroon - 9 🇩🇿 Algeria - 7 🇹🇳 Tunisia - 7 🇿🇲 Zambia - 6 🇲🇱 Mali - 6 🇨🇩 DR Congo - 5 🇪🇹 Ethiopia - 5 🇲🇦 Morocco - 5 🇸🇳 Senegal - 5 5 Likes 1 Share |

mrwilliams9: We've quite a number had near misses at AFCON semis usually in the hands of North Africans or other power houses in West Africa. I am happy SA are confident of winning this one. Looking forward to seeing that mouthy Thomas Mlambo and his colleagues in the Supersport studio after the game. 6 Likes |

chuks404:This is why it's bad to join a conversation from the middle. See how you're tripping because I said Ighalo benched Osimhen but same you didn't realise the battle for game time Martins had to contend with against big name strikers from Italy, Argentina and Brazil when he was young. Winning APOTY shouldn't be used to backup your argument either unless you're saying Okocha was a lesser player than Oshimen because of some APOTY. Anyway, I'm glad they are both Nigerians, Martins inspired a generation. Same thing Oshimen is doing currently. 2 Likes |

Amedino99:But you were quick to pull up stats about Martins playing so so and so games with how many goals and if multiplied he still had lesser goals than Osimhen. You wanted a young 20yr old African boy with no name, from primevera to start games ahead of Vieri, Crespo, Adriano? Obafemi was just like Eletu who people praise for just training with Inter's main squad,same age Oba was rubbing shoulders with the big boys. |

Moniter0: When I say lungs, I mean stamina. The WB position requires a lot of running up and down the flank. Bassey will get tired as a result and leave our defense lacking. Bassey is a bigger player than Aina and Sansui so those sprints will tire him quickly. I agree with you he does a very good job getting forward but solidity at the back is paramount. 1 Like |
