Barryseal:I don't know the match which you watched. So you expect Ekong that has been in the field for more than 100 mins to catch a player that have not played up to 20mins. Tell me say na joke. I guess u didn't notice that Ekong matched him stride to stride until he made sure that he was not the last man before he took the guy out. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Mujtahida: We dont need two water 💦 carriers and certain not a light weight one that will run out of steam 🚂 so quickly. You want a midfield with one creatine player in Iwobi, against CIV you need creativity and athletic ability with physicality that completely rules out Alhassan. Onyeka is all athletic physicality non stop running defenive wall blocks and interceptions but no creativity and he can't score to save his life. Midfield has to remain same as against SA Essentially same team as against SA Someone is suggesting Omeruo, he is too slow and will get roasted by CIV forwards. |

Koboko99: Is he better than Elijah Adebayo , 9 goals in the EPL and counting I expect 2 goals in the next 30 minutes. So it will be 11 goals and counting. 1 Like 1 Share |

Mujtahida:I go with the risk. Alhassan and Onyeka have enough energy to cover the right and left side of all the midfield when the LB/RB over laps forward. We must not have a holding midfield of only Frank and Iwoni tomorrow. Iwobi's inability to interpret defense could cost us |

Odunayaw:This was his comp. If there was any player who we had problems dealing with, it was him. His threat was evident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWFHFFEkp8E?si=-uXkRbwjqde4S8Sa The Ghanaian analysts talked about him prior https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW5CieiGipo?si=_gslIZAqsPwJcnIW I'm a pure football fan, I like to watch and learn not taken to prior bias. We know Ekong hasn't been 100% fit. His tigh issue is well documented. He missed one match but he's battling through the competition. If we play with 2 CBs, Ekong and his issues will be exposed. The 3 CBs compliment each other that's fundamental. |

Barryseal:That you are using this video as your proof of "the problems" he caused just defeats your point. Only 3 things worthy of note. The release to Tau, the forced save from Nwabali and the turn-shoot. The rest of the video DIDN'T show him out muscling our defenders. On the contrary he ends up falling all over the places when he gets a challenge. The only player he never duels in our backline is Bright. The Ghanaian analysts talked about him priorAgain, it is not for nothing I jested "No-Evidence Makgopa". His best game was against Morocco by finding space between their CBs something he was never able to do with us. That is why his shots in the game had to come from way outside because Mokoena had to screen for him. You're welcome to overblow Ekong's fitness but you'd almost make a mockery of video proof to make a point that he had a bad game against SA. Thank you |

Good fortune favours the brave rather we try to make our own luck to win than rely on the opposition making mistakes which I don't see a pumped up CIV committing. Mujtahida: |

Mujtahida:3rd highlight, Ekong calmly disposses him. 5th highlight, he falls under a soft challenge from Ajayi. His first attempt on goal takes another SA player who I think is Mokoena to screen Ekong so he can be free to shoot. Something he begins to do from then on, almost like he's trying to escape the CBs And that is that about that |

Mujtahida:For a striker to have that many highlights it tells the story he was a manace in the game. Some strikers go through an entire game without a single shoot on target and maybe something like 5 touchés the entire match. Someone like Halaand in cagey games, if he doesn't score sits on this table. |

minfelix: Sorry to say but this Ahmed Musa has no shame. Shamelessness mixed with selfishness and greed. It is already clear that he is as useful to the team as the "ueue" in "Queue" yet he insists on taking up a team slot and collecting bonuses and allowances for doing nothing. The classic Third-world leaders' Sit-tight mentality. Tufiakwa. If his motivational speech is so important to the team, what stops him from paying visits to the team camp and talking with the players from time to time or sending his advice via zoom calls or WhatsApp voice notes? Must he take up a team slot? If na so Kanu and co take do, would he (Musa) have gotten a chance to play for the SE in the first place? Nonsense and legend. |

Late call-up: Ethiopia’s Bamlak Tessema Weyesa will now officiate the third-place game between South Africa and DR Congo tonight after Morocco’s Redouane Jiyed protested to officiate Sunday’s final match instead. Jiyed‘s protest didn't go down well with CAF’s Referees Committee. #Afrosport #AFCON2023 #SouthAfrica #DRCongo #Morocco Arab people and arrogance eh... that's why I don't like them |

Barryseal:How you arrived at the assumption that since I'm saying he didn't cause as much trouble [ask you are making it to be] = SA didn't cause problems is somehow. They had; Mokoena Tau Sithole Modiba....In that order These were the ones who were either sneaking in behind our lines or loading long balls. Infact when you check the heat map of the SA players you'd see how light Makgopa's trail is around our box. Please note that the only reason I got on your mentions was an incorrect assessment of Ekong's game NOT to piss on the SA game |
