Focus on movies and taking care of your kids, you have no business with football as you know nothing about it
egojeny1:

Honestly. The cup supposed to be an easy grab. The day I confirmed he's a very good player was the day we played with South Africa. Then I didn't know his name, I had to ask my husband 'pls what's the name of the guy in afro', he said Aina, I told him the guy is a baller and he confirmed it. They played with all their might and strength that day. Only God knows what happened to him in the last game

Abi

But what about his incomplete passes and bad crosses, that guy is just power and speed, he should switch to a central defender

Imagine Aina is in the list and most people complained about him forgetting that we were praising him from the very first match. His only mistake was in the final.
Make we try dey appreciate these guys.

I was also thinking this Adingra guy would be in the list.
Nice one though.

Exactly my thoughts..

Ola Aina has no business being in this list.......my grand mother would have played better than that ewedu muncher if she was alive.

Someone that the young man from Ivory coast called Adingra was running over him like he had no legs.

Ola Aina should be the worst player of the tournament, he caused us the lost of the final
Rubbish

Anyone who understands football very will know that the midfield made Osimeh to be out of this list. They weren't feeding him. He comes back to struggle for ball and before moving again the pace will not be there. How can a coach go with a team without a good midfielder that give passes to a striker. Remember how Oliseh used to feed Amokachi, Rashidi Yekini, Samson Siasia in those days. Not forgetting legendary midfield maestro,Late Mudashiru Lawal. Anyway,they did all their best

Emilio Nsue plays in Spanish 3rd tier league as a right back yet he scored most goals in the nations Cup playing in an unfamiliar striking role. Our own fraud and so called African footballer of the year Osihmen just dey run around like headless chicken without any significant impact at the Afcon. He better remain in Naples and be scoring his Tap ins. No wonder napoli management named that winger their best player. Osihmen na overhype


Na Iwobi fall Osimhen hand for Afcon - If Nigeria had a player like Sunday Oliseh of Old or even Mikel Obi who are great passers of the ball - Osimhen would have shone like a million stars

He will not be overworking himself

That is why I love what Cameroun did in 1988

Roger Milla was 36 years old then and retired, he was called from retirement to man that attacking midfiled - older players like Francois Omam Biyik, Emile Mbouh Mbouh, Cyrille Makanaki and Thomas Libih staged an open protest to FECAFOOT (our own version of NFF) saying If Milla returns they wont play the nations cup (they are midfileders and probably felt threatened by Milla’s presence in the camp) however common sense prevailed and Milla was added to the team.

Cut a long story short - Milla was the player who equalized the goal Sam Okwaraji scored in Super Eagles opening game against Cameroon in AFCON 1988 and he was instrumental to their winning AFCON againt Nigeria in the finals

In essence - you cant wish away experience sometimes, especially when that experienced player is very physically fit and there is no younger person available who plays that role better than him - That is what Messi is doing for Argentina right now - Imagine if Messi was not in the 2022 Argentine team- will they win that world cup? I seriously doubt it.

Mikel Obi is 36 years old - same age with Leo Messi - they were both born in 1987 - Obi has retired from Super Eagles almost 5 years now while Messi is still playing even Ronaldo who is 2 years older than Mikel Obi is still playing for Portugal at 38 years old

So what am I saying here ? - Mikel should have been in that team to offer some creativity which Iwobi could not provide - wether he has a club or not is immaterial - his job there will be to collect the balls Bassey - Ekong - Aina will win from opposing attackers - offer some stability by spraying the passes to Simon- Osimhen or Lookman for the counter attack.

Nsue, who is same age with Mikel Obi is 36 years old and he just won the golden boot at AFCON.

Just imagine if Mikel Obi was in that final game - or a player of his capacity, what would happen - Nigeria will win easily- he is a great passer of the ball and we needed that type of player not Iwobi

Nigeria have so much talents in the street but selection is based on privilege, if not we could have utilized our overpopulation to be amongst the bests in the world in every sector


Haller and oshimen should be there

Ola did well, but was tired towards the end of the tournament starting from Cameroon match, I think fitness is his main issue

Kvaratskhelia is a better player than Victor.

Victor has no skill set other than running up and down hoping for a ball to land at the back of the defender for him to outrun and score. If he should leave Napoli, our guy is going to a club lower to Napoli

Telling this crackhead Ejyksneh to stop tribalism is like preaching to Igggbbbo not to eat human flesh again


The nut head see Yoruba as a threat but we are not the cause of his depression, he should direct his foooolish frustration to the luunatic that failed to imbibe in him proper home training and social relationship at tender age

Adingra, Haller, Gradel didn't play in the matches they lost. If any of featured at all, it was off the bench. Their previous coach (group stage) didn't favour them.

Osimeh wey dey scored off side goals every time striker with 7 matches one goal and Haller wey dey score try by error chances both of them failed to pull their weight for AFCON they should try next time.
