2017 WAFU Nations Cup Preview: Ghana, Nigeria in titanic final


Ghana playing Nigeria at the WAFU Nations Cup.

Ghana and Nigeria will battle for the right to be crowned 2017 WAFU Cup of Nations champions when they meet in the final at Cape Coast Stadium on Sunday, kick-off at 18h00 local time.

Ghana, the hosts and defending WAFU champions, earned their spot in the final with a 2-0 win over Niger on Thursday: Kwame Kizito and Stephen Safro scored the goals for the Black Stars, who have looked strong contenders throughout the tournament. This will be their second final appearance, having beaten Senegal 3-1 back in 2013.


Nigeria, meanwhile, edged Benin 1-0 in their semifinal. Rabiu Ali scored in the first half for the Super Eagles, who probably should have won the match by a more convincing margin. This will be Nigeria’s third WAFU final appearance: they beat Senegal 2-0 in 2010 to win their first and only title, while their second showing was a 3-2 loss at the hands of Togo in 2011.

Ghana and Nigeria have already met once in this WAFU tournament: the Super Eagles beat the Black Stars 2-0 in the teams’ final Group A match on Monday, though it must be noted that the home side had already guaranteed themselves top spot regardless of the result.

Ghana coach Maxwell Konadu insists that his side is more than capable of claiming revenge against the Super Eagles when the teams meet again in the final.

“We will be very prepared for Nigeria. They beat us last time so we have to come out strong to turn the table against them come Sunday,” he said at the post-match conference.

“They are a very good side, but we have to fight very hard.

“You know we are the defending champions, but that now belongs to history. Sunday will be a new chapter we have to open and we will do so by trying to beat Nigeria.

“The last time (we met), we had issues as regards injuries, but I hope we have all the players fit on Sunday and we will come very, very strong against Nigeria.

“It won’t be an easy game, they won’t find it easy as well.”
Ghana and Nigeria have met in 49 previous matches, according to FIFA statistics. The Black Stars have claimed 19 wins - compared to 11 for the Super Eagles - and outscored their opponents 72 goals to 44 in the process.

Joebie:
If you want the highest level of objectivity -- whoscored
yea, I agree. But everyone knows Rashford suffered a dip in form for large parts of last season,immediately after his explosive breakout.
Largely due to him being played out of position.
Form that he didn't regain until the tail end of the season, scoring the goal that qualified united for the Europa league final.

Why not bring the whoscored ratings from his breakout season.

And I don't understand why you all are acting like this proves anything.
It would have if Iheanacho actually made it
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 10:33am On Sep 23, 2017
Yep you are right... it is two and that would make it eight goals.

Corsica is not a member of Fifa but Togo is. That is part of why Togo's game stands despite all those subs made that day plus the fact it met all other requirements and counted as "other matches" in the FIFA rule book.

If we count the penalty goal against Corsica then Nacho has scored 8. So yes two pens... but Sir Chrisooblog is right to say one pen out of the seven goals.

But out of 8... it is two pens. smiley Finito.

I already know where you stand in the discussion mister. wink I don't forget a thing. So don't bother quoting aiit. The stats are for those with 10 starts or more. Nacho had five starts yet had Seven goals (abi na six?) and three assists. tu comprends?

Rashford with all the starts could not even top all those guys listed in similar period. Yet Nacho with Just five starts is still picked by L'Equipe as among the world's finest youngsters... hahaha... Smh... but I know where you stand. I've been there before... so plsss just let me be.. don't have time for EPL fan boys obsessive fantasies. Thing is you try to hide yours but you cannot... wink

The argument here is Rashford and Nacho's current standing.

Not ndidi vs nacho. Don't compare ndidi and Rash, dem no be mate. Dem no dae play same wing.

Nigerian Exports: Ariyibi & Akinade On Target, Deji Hits Bar, Osimhen Not In 18, Uduokhai Stars




Catch up on the performances of Nigerian players in matches across Europe on Friday, September 22.

Gboly Ariyibi put in a full shift as Milton Keynes Dons beat fierce rivals AFC Wimbledon 2-0 at Cherry Red Records Fans' Stadium. He doubled the away team's advantage when he fired home a loose ball in the 26th minute.

AFC Wimbledon number four Deji Oshilaja would have reduced the deficit in the 44th minute but hit the crossbar. The defender logged ninety minutes.

Elsewhere, Germany youth international Ohis Felix Uduokhai played the entirety of Wolfsburg's 2-2 draw with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena. The 20-year-old started as a central defender.

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen was not in Wolfsburg's match day squad for this one. He has made the 18 three times in all competitions so far this season.

A division lower, Kingsley Onuegbu came off the bench in the 18th minute as MSV Duisburg were beaten 3-1 at home to leaders Holstein Kiel on match day eight.

The number ten has scored once for the Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena outfit this season, against Arminia Bielefeld on September 9.

In France, recuperating goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama was omitted from the Lille team thrashed 4-0 by Monaco at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. The former Super Eagles number one has not played competitively for more than five months.

Chidera Ezeh missed Portimonense S.C's 5-2 loss to Porto at the Estádio Do Dragão.

It would have been the striker's third appearance in the Primeira Liga if he had featured, teammate Stanley Awurum didn't make the 18-man squad.

Ibadan-born forward Ismahil Akinade opened the scoring after two minutes as Bohemians defeated his former club St. Patrick's Athletic 3-2 in an Irish Premier Division encounter at Dalymount Park in Dublin.

The 23-year-old subbed out with four minutes left n the clock.

Chelsea Dazzler Moses Will Lead Super Eagles To The Promised Land Vs Zambia




With the 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifier potential decider between Nigeria and Zambia some weeks away, supporters and die hard followers of the team are all anticipating and hoping the Super Eagles fly past the Chipolopolo in an impressive fashion and pick the available ticket in the tough Group B.

Nigeria are on top of the Pool with 10 points from four matches, three more than second placed Zambia.
One man who is expected to lead the charge for the Super Eagles in the race to be in the promised land is Chelsea wing-back Victor Moses.

One shouldn't be faulted for this submission due to the fact that the former Crystal Palace, Wigan Athletic, Stoke City and Liverpool star has proved in the past and present that he is the man for the big occasion.

Moses has featured in three of the Super Eagles' games in the qualifiers and twice emerged as man-of-the-match.

Blessed with pace, deft touches, brilliant movements, skills and mobility, the tricky lad will certainly be the man to inspire the Super Eagles to their sixth FIFA World Cup appearance.

It's important to note that Moses must as a matter of fact be as fit as a fiddle when the Eagles converge next month for the "Thriller In Uyo".

The same whoscored Has rated Rashford higher than Iheanacho every season they have played together.
You can make as many excuses as you want but ultimately you will need better than l'equipe and whoscored to back your points up.
For every excuse you come up with for Iheanacho, there are 3 more for Rashford

Go and check the goals Sane scored in the last two games and check all his goals in Schalke, you will see the improvement in class.

The Sane in Manchester City today is not a 7-8 goals in 33 games kind of player. He is more lethal and more dangerous than that.

Gerrit?
He has really transformed under Pep Guardiola that he has played 31 Epl games under Pep Guardiola since 2016 and bagged 7 goals in total, if I happen to use his last season stat when he was at schalke and compare it with all the EPL games he played under Pep, you will agree with me that Sane stalled his development which same can be said about Kele boy, he turned a potential world beater into a drilling machine but I'm sure you won't agree

Zambia FA President Kamanga: Why Chipolopolo Will Beat Nigeria In Uyo
By Kayode Ogundare



Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) president, Andrew Kamanga has revealed that the driving force behind his country’s quest to reach the 2018 FIFA World Cup is the fact that it would be their first ever appearance at the Mundial and that the Chipolopolo are motivated to beat the Super Eagles when both teams clash in Uyo on October 7, according to FazFootball.com.


Kamanga said Zambia is drawing motivation from being the only team in Group B that had never been to the World Cup.

“We are putting in every effort to make sure that this team is adequately prepared as we face Nigeria, which for me is the do or die game whoever wins that game will be assured of going to Russia 2018,” he said.

“But most interestingly in this group, we are the only ones who have never been to the World Cup, but with the favour we continue to draw on we should be able to qualify, come November because we have the advantage of playing already eliminated Cameroun in the final round.”




The FAZ Supremo is also unshaken in his belief that the Chipolopolo are capable of beating the Super Eagles at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium which the Nigerians have turned into a sort of fortress in the World Cup race after 3-1 and 4-0 wins over Algeria and Cameroon respectively.

He added: “The must-win game is Nigeria, and I think our team has demonstrated the capacity to win away from home.”

The Super Eagles top Group B with 10 points, three more than Zambia and a win in uyo will hand the World Cup ticket to Nigeria while any other outcome will take the fight to the final day of the qualifiers when Nigeria will travel to Algeria while Zambia play at home to Cameroon.
