While Egypt celebrated their equaliser, El-shennawy, their goalkeeper performed a "rude" gesture. He brought his right/left hand to his throat and did the "slicing" move (like he was slicing a ram by the throat with a knife. He did this while facing the fans behind his goal)... His gesture showed gross rudeness (Djilobodji got banned for two games for similar act/gesture in the Bundesliga). So we don die abi? That's what he was implying? Make tuesday come first. They better be ready for war.... There's a reason why some things just can't be scripted. Some moments that will still take place....

My brother forget CAF, they won't do any thing especially when it is to Super Eagles Advantage. If CAF Where a serious minded entity, it would have suspended or disciplined the Egyptian Referee that officiated one of our group matches during the 2013 AFCON. GUESS WHAT, HE WAS STILL IN THE COMPETITION. What about Elneny's reaction to the Referee yesterday, when the referee ended the game. Am very sure, Elneny can't try thay shiiiiiiit in England.

krattoss:
are u kidding me??.. even a year old boy would have reacted that way if denied that kind of opportunity..be it in Spain England or Germany.

BascoVanVeli:
I agree with Mikel that fair play is fair play but i am at peace with yesterday's outcome. If we had won that match i think we would have gone on to be trashed in Egypt. The result would have just been a cover up for alot of things that went wrong. Now we can see ourselves for what we really are. I know the players will be extra motivated and charged up for revenge. Winning in Egypt would be the ultimate revenge. Winning in Egypt could kick start our comeback to the top of African and world football. This match along with it's stakes just got even bigger and now it is personal.

Any one who thinks Ighalo is a liability to the squad. He just seems lost in the team. He hardly offered any threat.

Which is why Icon4s keep insisting that we do not need him in the Olympics.

joseph1013:
Pre-match in KD: "We're here to beat Egypt. We must beat Egypt. Egypt cannot escape defeat today."
FT: NGA 1-1 EGY

Post-match: "Siasia knows how to win away."

Our optimism is endless!

How Super Eagles Rated Vs Egypt
[/size]
Comple tesportsnigeria.com's ADEBOYE AMOSU rates the Super Eagles after their 1-1 draw with Egypt in Kaduna…


Carl Ikeme 6/10
The Wolves goalkeeper made a brilliant save to deny Koka in the 18th minute. He was not at fault for the Pharaohs' equalising goal.


Stanley Amuzie 4/10
The left-back struggled to cope with the pace of Mohamed Salah and was the weakest link in Nigeria's defence.


GODFREY OBOABONA 6/10
Did well to curtail the Egyptian attackers until that unfortunate late minute strike by Mohamed Salah.


EFE AMBROSE 6/10
The Celtic defender did his defensive job well, though he was bit sloppy at times. He improved like the rest of the team in the second half.


SHEHU ABDULLAHI 5/10
An average performance from the right-back. He was a constant threat on the right side for Nigeria, but his final delivery was most times awful.


OGHENEKARO ETEBO 8/10
Played in an unfamiliar holding midfield role and put up a good showing in his debut appearance for the Super Eagles. He scored his side's only goal in the game.


KELECHI IHEANACHO 5/10
A subdued performance from the Manchester City youngster in what was his first start for the Super Eagles. Had a hand in Nigeria's only goal in the game though.


MIKEL OBI 6/10
Improved like the rest of the team after break and gave an above average performance in his first game as captain of the side.


AHMED MUSA 5/10
Started the game brightly, but fizzled out afterwards. He was duly replaced by Victor Moses in the second half.


MOSES SIMON 7/10
The Belgium-based winger was Nigeria's most potent attacking threat in the game. Contender for man of the match.


ODION IGHALO 5/10
The Watford forward was far from his best in the game. He missed a good chance to put his side ahead a minute before the break and was denied by the opposing goalkeeper in the second half.


SUBSTITUTES
AMINU UMAR 6/10
Took the place of Kelechi Iheanacho. He was lively when he came on and will surely push for a starting berth in the return fixture.


VICTOR MOSES 6/10
The pacy winger had a goal bound effort cleared off the line few minutes after replacing Ahmed Musa and troubled the Pharaohs's defence for the entire period he spent on the pitch.


ALEX IWOBI 4/10
The youngster proved his class after coming on late in the game. He is surely one for the future.

Competitive Nigeria Debut Excites Iwobi, Moses Rues Egypt Draw
[/size]

By Adeboye Amosu:
Photo by Ganiyu Yusuf:
Alex Iwobi is delighted to have played his first competitive game for Nigeria, just as Victor Moses was left sad by Friday’s draw with Egypt, reports Comple tesportsnigeria.com.


The 19-year-old Iwobi came in for Moses Simon in the closing stages of Nigeria’s 1-1 home draw against Egypt at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna on Friday.


Even though the result puts the Super Eagles in danger of missing out on the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations to be staged in Gabon, the Arsenal winger was really elated to take part in the game.


“Unlucky not to win but happy to have made my competitive debut for Nigeria,” he wrote on his Twitter handle.


“Would like to also thank England for giving me the chance to represent them.”


Meanwhile, Moses tweeted his frustration after the match. The West Ham forward who had a shot cleared off the line wrote: “Shame we couldn’t get the win today but the boys battled hard and we move on to Tuesday now.”


Nigeria will take on Egypt in the reverse fixture next week Tuesday in Alexandria.


The Super Eagles need to win the game to boost their chances of making it to Gabon 2017.

It ain't fair but someone has to say it.

Victor Moses, you have joined Yak Attack (Yakubu) in the list of memorable misses.

That Iwobi's pass is what we call a goal pass. How did you miss it?
