Sad for Hector Cuper. He lost another final. Really feel for him. I hope he does not give up and keep trying. Congratulations Cameroon. Current Kings of Africa.

Let's hope that this is going to be a wake up call to the Super Eagles. We don't don't have the World Cup qualifications in the bag yet. Still lots of work to be done.

YES

It is better to be an understudy to Aguero than a back up to Gabriel Jesus.

I wonder if we should sacrifice the chance of working under optimum conditions for just regular playing time. City will spend big and if the striking position is not reinforced, Nacho will stand a big chance of working with high quality players. We are talking Isco coming to replace Silva.

There are many talented players who benefited from the best training but are no where.


There are many talents who had loads of playing time but they are no where. I am talking of a mix here and a possibility of Sterling losing his place. He is not up to speed with Sane and Gabriel Jesus. Same with Aguero. I hope Guardiola gives Nacho a chance to play in a trident along side Sane and Gabriel Jesus.

A regular playing time does not look far to me for Nacho.

lol....goodjoe, eez like you're forgetting that Kelechi will be turning 21 this year, not 19


You are also forgetting that Kelechi is a forward, not a goalkeeper

You are also forgetting that Kelechi is currently a regular for the Super Eagles who are gunning for a WC and AFCON ticket, not a bench player of a regular for Jamaica

Because if you are remembering these things, you wee not be yarning us host about "learning under good equipment and world class tutors"

As much as I love this statement.

There is a need for us to prepare and leave no stone unturn. The WCQs is getting tricker.

This Cameroonian team is no push over and now that they're african champions the will be motivated to go for the killer against anyteam that comes their way.

Bros! Forget, they can only go for the killer against a low team or average team like the egyptian team

Ain't we see that the egyptian team got to this stage by fluke? Their set up is very easy to overrun.

Mascherano said it took him a very long time to adapt to Guardiola's methods. If you consider that Mascherano was already a regular for Argentina and a Champions League winner with Liverpool, you will know 21 still can learn.

I am not just talking of Iheanacho staying on the bench. I am also looking at Sterling losing his place.

Meanwhile the Hector Cuper curse continues.... smiley

This Camerounian team's triumph have just super-cemented and further confirmed our WCQ group as the toughest ever in African football history.... Algeria, Cameroun, Zambia, Nigeria.... All Champions affair.... The BLOODIEST GROUP EVER SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF AFRICAN FOOTBALL


-Fabrice Ondoa (jersey no.1): My Man of the Tournament. The finest goalie at the Afcon. He's just 21. The legends of Nkono, Antoine bell, Sango'o, Kameni Other Camerounian greats between the sticks lives in this fantastic young man.


-M. Ngadeu-Ngadjui (jersey no.5): This guy is like the return of Cameroun's beastly defensive legends all rolled into one. He scores and he defends with power, considerably good pace and grit. Won't want our dear Iheanacho coming up against this dude..... #Honestly sad
He was a marvel to watch and should be bested if we must overcome them over those two legs in Definitely Africa's biggest double header in recent times come August 28 and sept.3rd....

-A. Teikeu (jersey no.4): This dude reminds me of The great and super legendary Rigobert Song.... He may not be the fastest of defenders but he is certainly a rock. Joel Matip cannot break into this team's back four even if he were here... #fact

-Christian Bassogog (no. 13): This dude is a livewire and a menace on the wings. Reason why Clinton N'jie was mostly coming from the bench. Bassogog is one of the break-out stars of this new camerounian generation.


-Benjamin Moukandjo (no. cool: THE LEADER OF THE PACK. The talisman of the team. The team soars when he does but struggles if he doesn't come to the party. His assists in this tournament especially from freekicks are to be watched closely by Balogun and Ekong or any other defender that will feature in that African super special legendary battle.


-Nicolas N'Koulou (no. 3): Wasn't a starter but his goal brought the Lions roaring back into today's final. NKOULOU AND MATIP SHOULD NATURALLY BE STARTERS BUTTTTTT THE CHEMISTRY AND COMBO OF NGADJUI AND

-Vincent Aboubakar (no. 10): He's one for the big occasion. Have been expecting him to strike a great goal at this Afcon but he chose to do it at the moment that will end Egypt's run of 55 years without losing a final game. The last time Egypt lost an Afcon final was 1962.... Cc: The Super elders... Sirs: Icon4s, Kog45, Tbaba1234, et al grin


-Clinton N'Jie (no. 7): His wingplay was impressive whenever he was in action. He is a threat anytime anyday and a quality cover for Bassogog.

-Sebastien Siani (no. 15): This was one of Cameroun's most effective midfielders at the Afcon. He's a force in the Lions' midfield and also one of their strong lietenants. But I have to admit... The Nigerian Midfield still edges them in quality.





After all is said and done..... What a year we have up ahead... smiley

Squaring off in a double header against the African Champions and the team that will play at Russia 2017 Fifa Confederations Cup.... smiley

From the look of things, Aguero is leaving Manchester City. If Guardiola does not buy a high profile striker to fit that role, do you think Iheanacho should still leave Manchester City? Consider he still has a lot to learn.

Nacho should just leave for a better club that appreciate him.Nacho development is important to Super eagle and Rohr believe so much on him.

The real mvp for the Camerounians is Hugo Broos. Largely unknown in Africa but guy is big in Belgium. One of Belgium's finest.
The way he tweaked his team and tactics between the quater finals to the final was amazing.

He totally unbalanced the Ghanaians with a surprise 442. And yet again today, switched Moukanjo and Basogog from their usual positions. Its not a surprise he is yet to loose a game as Cameron boss.

It will be a war of tactics in Yaounde and Calabar.

The main point is, if Aguero goes and Guardiola wants to keep Iheanacho, considering there is no mega strike buy. That is where my mind is going. With Sterling not exploding the way Sane and Gabriel Jesus are doing, Iheanacho might have a shot.

I do not see Sterling upgrading like the others. Maybe the course of the season will decide.

I understand the week in week out demand but, look at Iwobi for instance. Staying up so late and chatting while he had a match later that day. Such is not tolerated by Guardiola. We might hail Iwobi playing week in, week out but he is losing out on some discipline training. It took Xhaka to tell Iwobi to go to bed.

Yes Cameroon w not be at world cup coz Nigeria have everything to beat Cameroon home and away,good for them to win Afcon and we must respect them for that great achievement but come to WC qualification they should forget it.

I remember Zambia almost beat d same team at home but settle for a draw,though one need to use last match to judge Cameroon performance which is Afcon Final against Egypt but World Cup is a different game whether qualifying or proper world cup.

As it stand Nigeria is a team to beat in that WC group and Cameroon knew that,d four point gap is not a joke,it's left for them to close d gap which is a huge task coz Eagles current form is superb.

Sane improved without regular playing time. Iwobi became a star of Arsenal without regular playing time. Yaya Toure did not have regular playing time this season and took an unfamiliar role, yet he is playing well. Iheanacho became one of the top players of the Super Eagles without regular playing time. Ighalo lost form despite having regular playing time.

The regular playing time stuff is a myth.

Yaya Toure is a seasoned footballer with over 43,000 minutes in his club career while Leroy Sane had over 2,900 minutes when he was with Schalke .Iwobi was playing regularly from the last quarter of last season while Ighalo is an average striker.Iheanacho game time for Man City last season wasn't up to 1,000 minutes so regular playing time is not a myth but a fact.

Are u saying Nacho should stay put if this trend continues till d end of d season coz Pep is a disciplinarian.

If i may ask u which Nacho did u preferred,Nacho under Pellegrin or under Guardiola.

On discipline,individual managers have different approach when it comes to discipline and i can tell u Wenger is one of them,Iwobi chatting in d night doesn't amount to indiscipline.We can't.do our things in d same way,Guardiola may frown at it while Wenger w just look other way round.

First of all, I am talking of the trend changing if Aguero goes and no mega forward comes in. So no need asking if the trend continues.

As for Nacho under Pellegrini or Guardiola, I will take Guardiola because Iheanacho is becoming more of an individual forward than a dependent one. Remember, Pellegrini played with two strikers. It is more difficult for defenders to stop Iheanacho under Pellegrini's system because most times, there was Bony or Aguero in the side. It takes more to operate solo upfront.

As for Discipline, some coaches may look aside but I want Iheanacho to have it naturally, so if the coach is looking or not, he maintains it. Same with the daily intensity training.

Yaya Toure has not played regularly in the role he is playing for Manchester City In this period. He is now playing mostly as a deep lying playmaker unlike as a box to box midfielder as he I known. Earlier this season, Yaya Toure was frozen out with Zero game time. After a long time, he took up a different role and excelled.

Sane, this season, not Schalke did not have game time. Yet came in and excelled. Or are you saying a player can have minutes at a small club, bench a whole season and play at a top form?

Iheanacho burst into the scene of Manchester City, in his first start, won the man of the match. Before Iwobi became a regular at Arsenal, he did not have game time, came in, did well and dumped Walcott on the bench.

Myth.

Ighalo was one of the quality strikers of the EPL in the first half of the season. With regular playing time, he lost form. Why did the game time not make him even better? Instead it made him worse. Myth.

Cameroun has put to the ditch the reliance on big and established stars to win games and tournaments. And even in the past its been like that. Yes they've had Roger miller, Antoine Bell, Song, Mboma, Jeremy Njitap, Eto'o but on the whole cameroun relies on the bulk of unknown but willing, strong and mobile players to do their thing. And anytime cameroun is in their stride they are are hard to stop at least in Africa. When I saw the relentless flurry of attack on the Egyptian defence I knew it was a matter of time before cameroun nicked something in.
Now as regards the qualifiers we must be strong in every department. We must be fluid and physical. Less airforce and more of army

One thing I know is if Pep decides to put Iheanacho on the transfer table, there are so many top clubs that would scamper for him.

I am not bordered about his development. If he does not get the playing time at City he may get it elsewhere.

What I would say for now is lets see how things would turn out for the rest of the season.

Have been expecting him to strike a great goal at this Afcon but he chose to do it at the moment that will end Egypt's run of 55 years without losing a final game. The last time Egypt lost an Afcon final was 1962.... Cc: The Super elders... Sirs: Icon4s, Kog45, Tbaba1234, et al grin


-Clinton N'Jie (no. 7): His wingplay was impressive whenever he was in action. He is a threat anytime anyday and a quality cover for Bassogog.

-Sebastien Siani (no. 15): This was one of Cameroun's most effective midfielders at the Afcon. He's a force in the Lions' midfield and also one of their strong lietenants. But I have to admit... The Nigerian Midfield still edges them in quality.





After all is said and done..... What a year we have up ahead... smiley

Squaring off in a double header against the African Champions and the team that will play at Russia 2017 Fifa Confederations Cup.... smiley


Our group in the WCQs and our games against Cameroun coming up soon.... Hmmmm


This is the stuff of legends..... #ThingsJustGotReallyInteresting


Cameroun would always be Cameroun. They have played in 6 finals and won 5. That is why they are called the Indomitable Lions. They have a title winning mentality.

Going into the WC Qualifiers, Cameroun have done themselves both good and harm.
Good in the sense that they have used this AFCON to build a team with a winning mentality together with all the cohesion achieved in different departments of the team.
And harm in the sense that the Super Eagles will no longer in anyway under-rate them in the double header clash. Thank God we got to see them at this AFCON, they would have probably taken us by surprise.

We have the advantage with a 4point lead. What we need do is to win that game in Uyo and open up a 7points lead. So that at the worst case scenario of losing in Yaoundé/Doula we will still have that 4pts lead with 2 matches to go. A win in our next game against Zambia and they can't catch us again.

It is also important for our players to remain in shape till that time.
I know we have the team to beat this Cameroonian side.

I only now have more respect for them but I dnt fear them.

TheGoodJoe:
From the look of things, Aguero is leaving Manchester City. If Guardiola does not buy a high profile striker to fit that role, do you think Iheanacho should still leave Manchester City? Consider he still has a lot to learn.

Actually, the way the indomitable lions played yesterday, I see them as a threat to the super eagles. We seriously need cohesion in our time to over power these lions.
