By the way, I hope everyone on this thread is OK. Been reading alot today about comrades who lost their lives during yesterday's game.
Read about a Nigerian who died after Oshimen's goal was cancelled and penalty awarded against. Talk about roller coaster of emotions.
The last time I felt this sort of tension during Nigerians match was 2006 Afcon semi final against Tunisia. They started by misrepresenting our national anthem then to a score draw and penalties. I pissed on my body during that match walahi. Roger Lamier, the French Tunisian coach told a reporter years after that Nigeria gave him hypertension during that match.

I felt the tension..I had to pour cold water on my head twice or so.

Yesterday's match and that WC final, I don't know which one raised BP pass.

So let's discuss how we'll structure the midfield with young blood

Pls don't mention Nwakali. Not cos of anything but cos no be ONLY HIM waka come. So let's gather potential names that may become the new guys over the next decade. FBs one side. Homebased one side. 🙌🏿🙌🏿

Are you aware that we have national team scouts? As in, there are people who collect fat salaries every month to do this thing you are asking us to do?

Why not allow them do their job and then we can evaluate their selections?
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 8:40pm On Feb 08
I brought Akinsanmiro Ebenezer to the this thread already before he left Nigeria. Have you forgotten so soon?

That is a midfielder.

So Nwabali went from below 100k Instagram followers to 300k followers plus

His last post on Instagram is the most engaged I have ever seen from a super eagles player with 70k comments ,even when musa scored a brace against Iceland at the World Cup he didn’t get such engagement

I hope as a late bloomer this will be nwabali edouard mendy moment

Wow ,I love good story

My motto has always been pasiero out and basketzoho out ,one have improved and one remains useless .

If you guys follow me here you will know I have always rated akpeyi ahead of uzoho ,that should tell you a lot .

If akpeyi better pass you then your own don finish grin

Make he continue dey wear suit for all our matches...
If na Rohr he will say that the SA team are better than our team. That they have been playing together for many years unlike his boys who just got together within a month.

Why Rohr was doing that I never understand and he started that after we qualified for the WC

I really wish we are playing another country in the final.

It took me the 2004 AFCON quarter final win to stop the hate on Cameroonians after that 2000 final escapade.

Hosting and losing the finals is something that can...

That AFCON 2000 loss still lingers...

I really want the Super Eagles to win. Also, I don't want a great host like the Ivorians to feel the pain of ...

It is going to be a very difficult final for both nation.
It will be a fight till death!
It will be 11-10 penalty win for ...

We bore the pain. They will. In fact theirs will be easy to bear because they are coming from the dead

CAF is taking the VAR too seriously than those who originally invented it. What happened yesterday can never happen in EPL or anywhere in Europe, no matter the error they would have moved on cos they know the impact it can have on those watching the match anywhere. We don't care too much about human impact in Africa. It's insane for a team to be leading 2-0 and suddenly get back to 1:1. Human beings are not machines o, I repeat what happened yesterday will never happen in Europe, shebi we dey see wetin dey shele for epl. Call it bias, human lives are more important than any yeye rule.

Nwakali is Iwobi Pro Max.

He can tackle, play long and short passes, he is rugged, can score from outside the box, he can defend e.t.c.

Stop disrespecting Nwakali....

So you don't know names across several leagues in the world that catches the eyes?? When first have we waited for them here and took up just evaluations? Lol

Hmm! "they are coming from the dead" Bambam just said the same thing on the Athletic podcast!
However, he saw it as an advantage. Nothing to lose, so no pressure! Makes them dangerous.

But like you said, they would be able to bear the loss better than we did!

Victor Moses played for liverpool while odion ighalo played for united

The likes of Aina, Moses, mikel,Babayaro all played for Chelsea

I think the clubs Nigerians are yet to play for are
Madrid, ATM, Bayern, Spurs
Last decade and how many times. I want to see as consistently as Matip and Salah. Not just squad guys.

The only thing that saved me from tension in that WC final was network.

But last night I was not spared. Living in a bandit state sef never gave me that much shake emotionally.

Jose Peseiro.ed after the Zimbabwe game, no one would have shed a tear. He would have earned it too. The results were heartbreaking.

Then, #AFCON2023  started. We didn’t win our first game but no one could rightly knock the coach because the team created several chances. His job had been done even when the job wasn’t completely done on the pitch.

Then, 1-0 against Côte d’Ivoire, 1-0 against GNB, 2-0 against a neighbour we now love beating - Cameroon - and then 1-0 against Angola…a trend was apparent. Peseiro-ball was clear. Score by all means, never concede.

Then came South Africa, a team we’ve always found joy against. Peseiro-ball was facing its fiercest test yet. The first half was so messy I was beginning to see the Peseiro attacks on Twitter again. I couldn’t do that myself because I had ed by the man, o show
When am counting wins, i don't really recognise the CIV win because we won from a penalty. I preferred we scored from open play
