Hugo Broos was a bit cocky in the post match presser..saying the better team lost .Bar the foul by Yusuf leading to the disallowed goal, Lookman had a clear chance to bury the game at 1:0 which he fluffed. The bizarre turn of events leading to their penalty swung the momentum in their favour. Man was a bit disrespectful to Nigeria 9 Likes 2 Shares |

zicky: You say we did not miss him and yet his absence was enough to alter the position of Aina. It's obvious the coach does not trust others to play that position and the I believe the coach must have a cogent reason. Our wingers were caged yesterday because the wing backs could not easily go forward. This was what Zaidu was doing although with poor final balls 8 Likes |

Goke7:They played better in the first half but the game evened out eventually. Their team speed was something else, blazing through our midfield at times. It was amazing. Hopefully, the national team selectors look the way of Ndubuisi Ndah. He's like the Van dyk of Orlando Pirates. They practically worship him there. He's Nigerias best kept secret. 7 Likes |

caprikon: I had respected him before now but with that foolish statement, dude should getat, I was even thinking if Paseiro leaves and SA no longer want Broos, he could be considered as our next coach but with those foolish words, I now wan see the man again. You were lucky to even be in the semis because of an inexperienced Cape Verde. VAR gave you a second chance yesterday and you dey talk rubbish. Your boys were good in first half but as predicted gassed out in the second half but for Lookman as you said it would have been another 2-0 victory for us. Even talking about tactics, he did well by exposing our team but our coach responded by bringing in players in extra time who not only earned his defender a red card but went ahead to take great penalty kicks, Broos should have been more humble in defeat, no one gave SA a chance to come this far at all. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Stillwater10:Jpes is very rigid hard trust his bench, with the absence of zaidu, he just went back to what he already know, switch back to what he used against GB. SA was breaking through the middle and not through the wings. |

Goke7:he only exposed our team in the first half with up through balls, that was possible because of how our defense played in the first half which is high line defensive tactics But in the second half our defense sat deeper and neutralized their up through balls which made them clueless I give kudos to jpes for solving that issue in the second half because if they continued the defensive pattern displayed in the first stanza of the game SA would hv hurt us with the up through balls 4 Likes 1 Share |

For the P.K's I was not scared one bit. I sat on the ground and I saw Moffi. I recognize he is a lefty and I knew he would score. Most lefties score PK's. The main confident I had was Nwabali. When both Goal keepers went to shake hands I saw the massive difference in sizes and I knew Nwabali will definitely save some. For the last kick, immediately I saw senior man, I stood up. I knew he would convert. Game over. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Goke7: I won’t blame iwobi because the southies knew that everything going forward in our team came through him so they worked hard closing him down whenever he had the ball which made Alex to resort to simple side ways passes They knew if givin space that Alex has the ability to easily link up our midfield and attack to create chances and they seriously worked hard in denying him that space 1 Like 1 Share |

charlesemeka85:This coming from you? When last I talked about him, you basically poo pooed on him saying if he was good, he will be wanted by a big team. Good to see you come around, should be a lesson not to scout players until a "big team" is being rumoured to go for him. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Omanambala(m): 12:00pm On Feb 08 |
I have said it many times here, Iwobi has no business playing a holding midfielder/central nor attacking midfielder. He only belongs to the bench. Very weak player, low on anticipation, weak on tackles, slow in making decisions, weak shots, can't play long balls, very poor in aerial battles. Iwobi is a liability to this squad! 1 Like 1 Share |

Goke7:Our midfield still remains our weakest area, not because of iwobi but because it's too lean. Watch most times yesterday when SA is with the ball we play 3-2-5 |

Goke7:I too like the guy Same season liverpool were frustrated in old trafford to a goal less draw. After the game Kloop complained that united played anti football and sat back all game When Jose was interviewed and was told what kloop said he responded by saying he accept that his team packed the bus but it was the duty of kloop and his players to unpack the bus and score since he believed that his team were superior 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1 Like |

charlesemeka85: truth is Iwobi no get that African football flair which makes it easy for opposing teams to neutralise him, Onyeka had to be playing two roles yesterday defending and bumping forward to cover for him and he became overworked. We may need to still redefine Iwobi's role in that team with World Cup qualifiers on the way. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
