I bow in humility O Kind Sir... good to be back indeed.

You knew I will show up? Chaaaiiii... lol... Someone showed more faith than I thought...

Thanks So much Sir.

TheSuperNerd:

Safarigirl said 5-1... Basco said 4-1...

And you had the exact score all along?

Chaaaiiiiii.... Arch Guardian!!!!!!!!! Na wa for u ooooo.... I just dey look u... see perfect prediction of scoreline.

maidaboi:
well come back

terzurum5:

Akpeyi should just forget about manning the goal post. There is a new Sheriff in town.
Seriously at a point I thought Vincent Enyeama was in goal post.

TheSuperNerd:


Awwwwwwwwn.... Sir Maidaboi.... I missed you too Man. Na your mentions I see pass.... Thanks so much Sir. You are truly wonderful...... a great FAM member... thanks man. Godbless.

TheSuperNerd:
Big Shout out to Safarigirl again.... Just saw her prediction pages back...

She said 5-1... and that she dreamt it... 5-1 is equivalent to 4-0... spot on lady.


And A special mention to my good witty comrade on this thread... that guy with excellent choice of words... very cerebral fellow... Sir BascoVanVeli.... he predicted 4-1 in Nigeria's favor. He came very close...

I am sure there were monikers who scoffed at such predictions.... well ladies and gentleman... it only shows that BascoVanVeli and Safarigirl are among the few here who genuinely know and understand the super potentials, Trueest Capabilities and strength in-depth of the Present Super Eagles....

If they didn't know... they would not have been so bold in predictions. Kudos To Safarigirl and BascoVanveli... well done and thank you for your genuine belief in this team.

Icon4s:


I couldn't muster the courage to share it because it was too perfect to be true. Besides we mostly concede in matches. So a 4-1 or 5-1 prediction was even more possible than 4-0!

terzurum5:

You are welcome on board Boss.
It's been a while.

Humility017:

sometimes you will never know how good these guys are....not until you give them a chance to show the stuff they're made of...

that's why...I have no problem starting ebuehi hopefully in our next matches in October and November he should get to start one of those matches....

I hope the Chan tournament will also build ezenwa confidence...come next year...
he should stay back and not hurriedly run to Europe

OMANBALA1:
In fact,I have made up my and nobody can change it....Leon Balogun is a WORLD CLASS PLAYER!

Icon4s:


IMO that right back position would likely be a battle between Shehu and Aina. If any of the two gets the nod from the coach let him play.

We don't need to be experimenting unnecessarily in the defence. We need cohesiveness ahead of the world cup so we must have a regular back line. Yes we can have back ups and give them game time only when the regulars are not available.

We can test players more in the more forward positions.

Humility017:

welcome back my beloved brother...
trust you've been doing great....?
missed you much over here...

Humility017:


don't be surpised...ebuehi might even better than Shehu in that role...but you will.never know if he does not get to play...
he should get to play and let's see what he tends to offer....or.possibly tried in other positions....

TheSuperNerd:
Sir TheGoodJoe, Safarigirl.... Holy Chief and Arch Guardian Icon4s.......




Hehehehehehehe....... it's been a long while My Lovely FAM.... I am sorry for my kinda long absence..... maidaboi... saw your mentions... Sir Joebie... Hahahahahahahahaha... Oga Soetanoreoluwa (will modify this name if I missed it ) is not me naa.... I even recall calming his nerves one time that this new generation will come good... Sir Icon4s was there... lol....


But Plssss... uhmmm.... is it a crime to say we are indeed Super? is it a crime to say I actually saw this coming....? I have been away and very busy but never away from the updates daily leading to today's show of masterclass from Simon Moses (my third best player today) behind Victor Moses (my best) and Mikel Obi (that pass to Ighalo was masterful.


But I have to say this: Ndidi is a super star... he is going to be Officially world class within the next one to two years.... mark my words.

Onazi was masterful in physical duels... he did give away a few passes but he was no coward or slouch today... he shows it is about heart and Grit and not about Size or height in midfield battles... onazi is a battle hardened Super Lieutenant. Loved his battles with Anguissa and Moukandjo. He shone in those battles.


Special Big Mention to Ighalo.... Finally, our top striker is back!!!!

Iheanacho have done his best in that role... but Ighalo brought that power and fighting dare with his style to the fore. Iheanacho remains at his best in a no.10 or no.8 role... he is a good no 9 but is far better as a no.8 (SS) and a no.10 (amf).

Abeg... who saw Ighalo's Kung fu shift that led to Mikel's goal??

Abeg... Mikel's pass is still killing me but Ighalo's goal shows class and power.... In Truth... I Love Iheanacho but he got his own style as an improvised No.9... Iheanacho would not have scored that goal scored by Ighalo. #Fact

Ighalo had to beat away the fiesty challenge of Cameroun's no.1 tough-as-nails defender, Ngadjui Ngadeu.... I mean what a performance from Odion Jude Ighalo!!!! Shaolin soccer and Kungfu is evolving Ighalo's game... wow! look at his awareness to move away from the ball in a dummy fashion to allow it have the chance of reaching Mikel.... Absolute Kungfu act!


Lemme continue.....

Special Mention and super shutout to the Back line.... Balogun made the most interceptions today with 8 solid interceptions and Ekong led in aerial duels won with about 4 or more... Outstanding.

Abdullahi was solid and he brought back good bits of his Rio 2016 form.

Echiejile was also solid... Moses and Echiejile rendered Bassogog useless.... after all the hypes and cries of Bassogog's pace and tricks... I did tell you all alongside the master of the art of Analysis on our teams, Chief Icon4s that Bassogog's end product is absolute Zero!!! Hahahahahahahahaha.... but it is good to talk up the strengths of our foes so that we don't get to overconfident... but I did tell y'all that The Camerounian defence is slow.... their reactions is slow.... they were no match for the pace and fast trickery and menacing movements of our Attack.... but it is not eureka yet my Good People. *winks*


I will still talk more on our midfield combo of Onazi and Ndidi.... they showed today that they can indeed play together with a coordinating presence like Mikel with them.... they have the potentials to excel together even in Mikel's absence but they must dig deep steadfastly to establish that telepathy between them.... Onazi-Ndidi can indeed be our best in tandem with a coordinating and influential AM in front of them.

On a sidenote, We must Begin the Apprenticeship of Mikel's replacement now because I am already looking Beyond Afcon 2019. Mikel is a world class midfield operator that comes with his own class acts.... his crown successor must be found and brought in soon enough for the future ahead.


Simon Moses... will dedicate a post just to him. Big bad Class act. Onyekuru is not on his level yet.... Simon is the man for now People.. and he can only get better. Just earthquaking!!!!!


Victor Moses.... will do same as in Simon's case... a whole post to him.

Odion to be mentioned yet again. Thank God this burden have been lifted off Nacho's young shoulders.

Iheanacho.... Hahahahahahahahaha.... I told my elder brother after our third goal went in that Bringing in Nacho now will result in a fourth.... then Ighalo had to he taken off as a precaution. We need him for the second leg in Yaounde... His knock is not so serious.

Iheanacho came in and at a point he even slipped on the pitch... yes... But minutes later.... He began his own music... bringing his own style to the play.... combining again and again with Victor moses and linking up plays from deep beautifully the dew times he fell deep... his skills and confidence in the ball oozed Class.... Nacho is nimble footed... but in a sexily smooth kinda way... and his Raumdeuter Movements for the fourth goal which saw him tap in with a sweet header? Absolutely super class..That was akin to Muller's attack of space as the original raumdeuter that Muller is.

Nacho showed our strength in depth from the bench... I was just nodding in pride... you all needed to sew me smile...

What Sir Joseph1013 started as a little past time borne of passion has become a colossal Force opening up new views into what our Football can actually become with the right mentality and focus on our very best and then on Continuous Improvements as a team..... Sir Joseph1013... thanks so much for starting this. I appreciate you....

And I will never forget his words after that South Africa game... he said something like, "We lost becos we were without our pillars... when they all return you will sew the best of what this team is all about..."

Victor moses, Leon Balogun, Odion Ighalo (Kungfu Odion), John Mikel Obi and Carl Ikeme make us tick... they bring out the best in our finest rising youngsters like Simon Moses, Iheanacho, Ndidi and more.... all that team against South Africa needed at its core was Leadership and a guiding presence to fall back on when lost in the wind and when it seems talents fail... we can see that Sir Joseph1013 was right. And ofcos.. I also shared same views.





I am really sorry I could not enjoy the live acts with you guys.... but I saw the whole game... today I had a big day off so I could not miss this game... no BL**ping way...



The rise of a new Super Golden Generation is still in session.... let's go there... Russia beckons... The Eagles loom large over Russia... Hahahahahahahahaha.... but hey... it is not eureka yet...




But lemme quote someone I watched the game with...

"4-0 against the African Champs who showed so much power and Grit and Will in the Confess Cup and played over 12 matches together and who conquered the rest of Africa just couple of months ago?? A team that showed Lionheart to beat Africa's nest in Senegal, Ghana and Egypt?..... I think it is fair to say that This match is the Afcon Final The Indomitable Lions never had at Afcon 2017..." -----------> Not my words... but the words of a friend....

Super Eagles just won 4-0... her biggest official win in a competitive fixture since that 4-1 bashing of Mali at Afcon 2013.... let's just keep it coming.

And to all the pessimists.... we love you... I Love you so much. Thanks for being so negative to the point that Cameroun was made to look like Argentina... lol...


The dream is back on.... it was never dead... it was just waiting for its time to regain its voice....

I repeat...

The rise of Nigeria's Next Super Golden Generation is still in session.... I have seen it ..... Congrats y'all... it is a sweet weekend...

Hopefully Monday brings more smiles... Godbless you all.

Sir Blueto.... Welcome back My Sesquipedalianic buddy....




P.S: Yara Yara always gave me updates on how you guys were... I never forgot you all.

joseph1013:

I'm not worried. With our big boys back, we will beat SA away.

Many factors led to the shock SA win.

Our major problem yesterday was that we did not have players willing to run at their defenders. I knew we were going to concede. We must concede with Akpeyi starting, a new CB pairing, first time Onazi-Ndidi defensive pairing. But I felt we would outscore them. And we should have. Alas, Iwobi didn't come to the party, Musa was fasting and Kelechi became starved of the ball, plus he didn't have the drive to track to the middle to get the balls himself, thereby pulling the defenders out of position.

In the return leg, with Victor Moses back, we will have our best dribbler back. That will open the spaces and with Mikel's leadership in the middle, we will be able to carve spaces for someone like Kelechi to bury the chances.

Balogun should also be back, therefore we should have the usual fine CB pairing. Echiejile and Shehu were fine in yesterday's game.

Things like this happen. We will be fine. We will be at Russia and Cameroun.

TheSuperNerd:
Hahahahahahahahaha.... here he is... the one and only Sir Royalty....

I salute you Sir. Thanks so much for the welcome. I am deeply humbled to be shown such love and recognition in this great house. Thanks so much.

Sir Royalty (aka Humility017).... what a day.

Dedebanky85:
My brother I tend to stay away from any argument wey no de add value e.g. Iheanacho vs Ighalo, training drill vs game day. How e take epp Naija. Glad for the win. I said it that Naija would win based in the time we played them. Had it been we played them in February or 2 weeks after confeds e for hard us. But any time span more than 2 months resets a team's chemistry.

A win in a Yaounde and a Zambia and Algeria draw over 2 legs 2ould make Naija the 5th team to qualify for Russia. Can't wait.

Joebie:
Let me say this, and I hope u guys don't misunderstand me. I'm quite uncomfortable with Mikel saying if we keep playing like this we can beat any team in Africa. I think that he is bringing in his personality here -- settling for a decent height of achievement. I'm hoping he is aiming higher in his mind in respect to leading the team but just trying to sound humble. We need to start thinking we can win the World Cup. That should be our mindset, though we need not be arrogant about it. And that should be our mindset even outside football.

Tamunotonye22:
This team will cause trouble in the WC.they look united,happy.am happy the coach is pushing the players high by adding more players ,who even the players too know are doing well.We need to see Ebuehi play,he's been committed. I don't think he has a friend in the squad, we need dutch flavour in our game too.

Icon4s:


Shehu and Ebuehi have been together in camp severally and Shehu keeps getting the nod. Let us see what Aina can offer instead. Ebuehi for fit face those Cameroonian faces today?

mikron:
pally how u see our super eagles game na? superbbbbbb

Napoleon55:
is better to sound modesty than arrogance and over confidence,it has nothing to do with his personality and mentality

TheSuperNerd:
Sir Aig07.... just seeing your mention O beautiful Sir....

Chaaaiiiiii... just taking my time to reply my mentions... abeg no vex Sir.

Sir AIG07.... how u dey naa? Good to see you around Sir.... awwwwwwwwn.... this question... "Where is theSupernerd?".... it makes me wanna cry... see the love... I appreciate you all. Thanks for holding it down while I was away My Good Sir. Merci Beaucoup...

Humility017:

I understand that ebuehi is still very young...
and he won't have been able to face the cameroonians or perfectly match for Africa football....

but he should get his chance....you never can tell....he may prove useful playing against non Africans opposition...play in the Dutch league weekly is not beans

Humility017:

you welc my supernerd...

joseph1013:
My man! Welcome. We all missed you!
