libero808:the round we just played leads to the actual group stage. In order to get to this round, one winner was necessary from each game, it's like a play-off. If after 90 mins + ET, there were no goals, a penalty shoot-out would be necessary and that was where the Ghana vs Gambia game was heading before the ref gave Ghana a penalty that was uncalled for according to their FA. |

Just saw a clip and major highlights of the second half on You-tube.... The lads did well. And Osas Okoro is not a new name to us... Guys like you and Goldfish80 have been singing his name in our ears recently.... he is quality and I have always known that he can hit rockets and curlers from freekicks. This is a good start... they may have taken time to take off but they eventually did and I only hope they can do better. And kudos to Wafu and Foxsports... Foxsports wanna use this medium to enter the West African Sports business market and Wafu is taking full advantage too... great exposure for our boys as some parts of north america get to view the WAFU cup too. All the best Home-based Super Eagles... fly well... Finally, Well done Sir Basco... your faith in the home based lads cannot be faulted.... I salute that. Kudos Once again. BascoVanVeli: 3 Likes |

Loolll... Chief Chief.... Hahaha... it is not for lack of confidence he brought up the challenges they were up against just in case they failed to win.... but it is for and because of the actual love and belief he has in them that made him point out those factors standing against them. Even some of the best and most talented have failed in the face of daunting challenges.... But it is good to see that the boys surmounted the odds and flew high today... they can only get better I pray. Icon4s: 1 Like |

WAFU CUP – Osas Okoro, Peter Eneji Power Super Eagles To Win Over Sierra Leone Nigeria got their campaign at the regional WAFU Cup tournament off to a flying start with a 2- 0 win over their counterparts from Sierra Leone to progress to the group stage of the tournament. Sierra Leone dominated the first half of the encounter but found goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa of Nigeria a hard nut to crack during the first 45 minutes. The second half saw a much improved Nigerian side and their dominance paid off late into the game, when the duo of Osas Okoro and Peter Eneji found the back of the net. Enugu Rangers flying wing back Okoro opened scoring for Nigeria in the 82nd minutes, while Eneji who starred for Nigeria League Champions Plateau United doubled their lead three minutes before full time. The team consisting of players from the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) will play their first group game against Ghana on Thursday. **Ade Emmanuel Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/09/11/wafu-cup-osas-okoro-peter-eneji-power-super-eagles-to-win-over-sierra-leone/ 1 Like |

Super Eagles Player Ratings : High Marks For GK Ezenwa, Rabiu Ali & Osas Allnigeriasoccer.com rates the performance of players of the Super Eagles at the Cape Coast Stadium as Nigeria reached the 2017 WAFU Cup group stage after a crucial 2-0 win over Sierra Leone on Monday night. Enugu Rangers wing back Osas Okoro opened the scoring for the Eagles from a free kick on 84 minutes. Peter Moses Eneji, who plays for Plateau United in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) sealed the win for Yusuf Salisu's men in the entertaining duel. Starting XI: Ikechukwu Ezenwa 8/10 The FC Ifeanyi Ubah goalkeeper pulled series of saves to deny the rampaging Sierra Leone attackers and kept the pressure off the defense. Osas Okoro 8/10 Awesome display from the Rangers man. He was solid defensively and eye-catching going forward. He was the man that came to the party with a sweet free kick that went beyond the keeper. Chima Akas 7/10 The Enyimba left back ventured forward at will. He almost scored from one of his forays upfront. Stephen Eze 7/10 Had a mixed season with FC Ifeanyi Ubah but was a tower of defense at the back in the game. Great display from the strong man. Emmanuel Ariwachukwu 7/10 Scored high marks on the night. The Sierra Leone strikeforce was no match for the defensive abilities of the Akwa United enforcer. Afeez Aremu 5/10 An average show on the part of the former Sharks midfielder. He made up for his lack of ball distribution with his hardworking style. Ifeanyi Ifeanyi 6/10 Good performance from Ifeanyi Ifeanyi. He dropped deep to work hard, linked well and flourished in his midfield role. Rabiu Ali 8/10 Bossed the midfield and distributed passes. The Kano Pillars playmaker was a delight to watch and bossed his territory. Samuel Mathias 4/10 The flop of the match. It was a surprise that Mathias hardly got things going. He was hauled off in the second stanza. Kingsley Eduwo 6/10 Crawled from a periphery first-half performance to brighten up Nigeria's attack in the second-half. Eduwo got involved at the final third and was often getting his team mates in key positions. Anthony Okpotu 4.5/10 The NPFL top scorer was a pedestrian at the battle field. He didn't really get into scoring positions and was often isolated. Substitutes: Gabriel Okechukwu 7/10 The winger lived up to expectation with his workaholic display but was just denied of his opportunity to shoot from range. Good display. Ubong Friday 7/10 The winger dazzled on the flanks and caused problems for the Sierra Leone lateral defence with his nimble foot, pace and skills. Peter Moses Eneji 7.5/10 Eneji repaid the faith shown in him by Eagles coach Salisu with an insurance goal that was worth a carat of diamond. He was at the right place to punish the Sierra Leonians. **Abayomi Ademetan Source: http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=24597 1 Like |

Watched the Nigerian WAFU game on Youtube, Moses Eneji is my pick.... Really talented player. I do not know how old he is but if he is still young, he needs a European club ASAP.. I will like to see him again. Rabiu Ali is 37?? He is still in great shape. He is certainly one player that used his true age. 5 Likes |

TheSuperNerd: He was already conceding defeat just because the Sierra Leoneans have been in Ghana since last week while our boys just arrived yesterday. Nigerians' never say die attitude will always prevail. These are boys that travel by road from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri or vice versa and arrive on match day and still go and play. Not that it is right but It is something they have been used to. Not expecting them to beat Sierra Leone even under such circumstance shows he doesn't have confidence in the team. There was nothing the NFF could do about the late arrival because the league just ended on Saturday and all these boys were key players in their respective campaigns. The players haven to travel from different corners of the country to Abuja the earliest possible date to leave Nigeria was Sunday night which was still already late. There is no blaming the NFF on this one. I am very glad the boys won as this will boost their confidence level as they prepare for CHAN in January. |

libero808: I believe there are negative factors attached to loses and draws. It may not have been displayed in the formula but it does exist. Which is why you see teams lose ranking points when they lose or draw. Points are deducted. Just as just for that 1-0 lose to Benin our ranking points will drop from 715 to 696 even despite the 4-0 win over Cameroon. |
