not a bad match, i expected the match to be tough the way it panned out. for Christ sakes these Tunisian players are their national team players from CF SFAXIEN, ETOILE DU SAHEL and ESPERANCE , club sides that dominate African football in terms of Club football and past winners of both the CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE and CONFEDERATIONS CUP, so i would say we played well, though it was tough, with what Guinea played today against Niger, i see us easing past them come Tuesday. the Nigeriens overwhelmed me with their play today against the guineans, kudos to the niger, i prayed they draw with guinea and they did just that. making it easier for us to qualify to the quarters, though we need an outright win though a draw will see us through but playing for a draw should not be an option for us as guinea might just hit us late into the game to claim the 3 maximum points at stake giving them 5 points as against our 4 while Tunisia might just ease past Niger (though it might not work out that way) giving them 5 points too. meaning we re out, so guys lets go for a win against guinea to top the group with 7 points. we can do it. watch out 2 Likes |

mikron: U are so on pt abt the strenght and composition of the Tunisian Team. The guys have won every Club continental title available in Africa.Plus a good number of them are their national team players.They were favorites goin into dat game. Oliseh himself said so, though most peeps saw it as a mind game. Our performance at d last CAF U23 & this CHAN shows there is so much quality in our local league. Jst as it is in North Africa and Europe where 2-4 clubs have most of d finances and d cluster of the best players, Nigerian clubs can rule Africa if that kind of structure is achieved. The Nigerian league is such dat the gap btw the winner and bottom team is usually less than 10pts. The quality in d league is generally evenly distributed. That is y dey dnt do well at continental level. Look at our CHAN team for instance, there is hardly any NPFL club nt represented. If these players are distributed amongst say 3 teams, d quality in each of those teams would b higher and dey will perform better on d continent. Niger was expectedly no match for us bt in Tunisia we had a well drilled and experienced opposition. Those saying the performance of the boys was awful or shameful should remember this is nt d main Super Eagles. 2 Likes |

Icon4s:sir Icons i concur wholeheartedly with u, imagine these good players of ours distributed to only 3 NPFL clubs in the country we would have been winning continental trophies (both caf champs league and confederation cup titles). Tunisia a real test for us,but i was glad we came out with a point, the Guineans looked good against Tunisia but against Niger today they were found wanting, though they drew 2 goals apiece but they were a shadow of themselves, we should be able to beat them good and square come tuesday.

This team sure knows how to grind out results even when playing under-par.... *smiles* They were disappointing today (Friday, 22nd)..... Yes. The Tunisian team paraded close to 60-75% of their main national team stars..... Yes. The Home-based Super Eagles can do far far better than this..... Yes. But for what it's worth..... Shameful might have been their display.... But they earned some credits. This is the Home-based Super Eagles (truthfully not even close to 7-11% of our main squad is here) coming up against teams who are parading players that can serve as their nations' Afcon-central squads and Chan squads at the same time.... Squads who represent these nations on the international stage. Only the likes of Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroun and a very few others at the ongoing CHAN 2016 come close to sharing Nigeria's situation of fielding home-based stars who serve as "fringes" for the "main squad". Kudos to Oliseh so far...... I trust he can do more. As for the next game, WE'LL NOT LOSE TO THE SYLI NATIONALE OF GUINEA. We're sure to beat them..... Or at the very worst get a draw. But I see a win for Nigeria... *smiles* This team can go all the way..... I just pray the likes of Onobi, Matthew, Akas, Aggreh, Ibenegbu, Oboroakpo and Adeniji deem it "RIGHTLY-TIMED" to step up their games even more to support the good works being done by Chikatara, Ezenwa (the Goalie), Usman and Osas Okoro. They've been good in flashes..... But they need to hit top gear and enter "the zone". All the best NIGERIA..... *smiles* 2 Likes |

Ivory Coast 1-1 Gabon -The Panthers are level! Knox Younga's corner kick is headed into the net by Franck Obambou! 46' - Substitution -Back underway in the second half, and Gabon have made their second change by withdrawing Aaron Boupendza and replacing him with Lionel Yackouya. 45+1' - Half time, Ivory Coast 1-0 Gabon -The Elephants are on course to qualify for the quarterfinals. 44' -It's raining heavily now, which will make the already fast artificial surface even quicker.

mikron:Of a truth Sir, most Nigerian internationals are in pretty good leagues and are also doing good if you ask me. Atleast Turkish league is by far more competitive and exposed than the Nigerian league. Besides most of these leagues are already preoccupied with good players or do you espect them to continue with the Nigerian league as far as these top Clubs do not come for them? 'Half Bread they say is better than non' There are also several Brazilian players plying their trade in not too good leagues. Some have just been acquired by our very IfianyiUba Fc of Nigeria you know. |

[b][size=14pt] EXCLUSIVE: Nigeria hot-shot Chikatara joins Wydad Casablanca [/size] [img]http://isoccerng.com/files/thumb/b9cc537951f7798/614/330/fit[/img] By Blessed EKENE Super Eagles sensation Chisom Chikatara has agreed to join Wydad Casablanca after the Moroccan side reached terms with Abia Warriors, with the deal only subject to medicals. Isoccerng.com can exclusively report that Chikatara, who has bagged four goals for Nigeria at the on-going Championship for African Nations in Kigali had already agreed a move to the north African side before the tournament began. However, the striker who is currently one of the most sought-after players in the continent owning to his recent exploits at CHAN later had a change of heart following interests from clubs in Europe and Wydad's arch-rivals Raja Casablanca, but decided to honour the initial agreement after Wydad threatened to drag the matter to FIFA, with Abia Warriors officials now in Morocco to finalise the deal. Chikatara was named Man-of-the-Match after his brilliant hattrick performance in the home-based Super Eagles' 4-1 win against Niger Republic. The Abia Warrior striker’s goal against Tunisia brought him level with South Africa’s Bernard Parker, the second highest goal scorer in the CHAN competition with four goals from the last competition in South Africa, and a goal away from equaling Zambia’s Given Singuluma who scored 5 goals enroute his nations 3rd place finish in the 2009 competition hosted by Ivory Coast, a feat Chisom has achieved in fewer games. The Abia state indigene has the world at his feet right now, with the possibility of breaking and setting a new record within sights or even claiming the Most Valuable Player (MVP) crown from the current holder Ejike Uzoenyi. The Eagles will clash with their West African opposite, Guinea in tomorrow’s last group game at the Stade Umuganda Rubavu, Gisenyi. The Eagles lead the pack in Group C on four points, two points ahead of Guinea and Tunisia. The outcome of the group’s matches will determine qualifiers for the last eight. isoccerng.com/blog/2016/01/exclusive-nigeria-hotshot-chikatara-joins-wydad-casablanca [/b] 1 Like |
