Loud it sire

Earthquake3:
Can someone tell me the color of the Senegal jersey?

A light color.

African football is coming Home

DrLikita12:

I am not sure. I think it will be between Tornadoes and whoever came 4th during the playoffs (Lobi or Akwa...can't remember)

Akwa United although we don't deserve continental football going by the nonsense Paul (I know nothing about football) Bassey pulled off at the super 6.

Benin have already outperformed expectations to get to this point. Even if Senegal eventually bundles them out, they will still be hailed as heroes to thier nation for decades to come.

That's how you make a point.

breezy147:

Hmm

If we lose tomorrow, I expect the following to happen:

In the short run,

1. Rohr will hand in his resignation letter.

2. Mikel and Ighalo (and possibly Balogun) will announce thier retirements.

This guy will officiate us tomorrow. Remember him from the Zambia game in Uyo.

ChrisKels:


That doesn't make them Nigerians. U could also argue that egba and Badagry are Beninoise and not Nigerians due the history.


Simply put, they are Beninoise while Badagry and egba are Nigerians.

U guys find this strange because down here, we do not really bear similar names unlike those somehow up the Northern part of West Africa. Senegal, Burkinafaso, CIV, guinnea, guinnea bissau, mauritania, Mali, Gambia et al all bear same names or similar names, that doesnt mean they aint from different countries.

CIV and Ghana bear koffi, kwame(kouame), acqua (akoua) et al, e no mean say dem be one country

They are all from Nigeria even to the border of Togo(the Yorubas indigenous people of Benin and Togo). I have meet alot of them who can tell you the town their forefathers came from in Nigeria.

The artificial boundary is as a result of the aftermath of scramble for Africa.

Lol. You'd have a whole summer to prepare though.

I thought Paul Bassey, with his knowledge from football journalism over two decades will turn the fortunes of Akwa united around. But the reverse is the case, the team seems not to be growing

U can say they are arguably Yorubas, but, Nigeria? That's a big lie. Boundaries are imaginary lines, hence we can also say the Yorubas of Nigeria ought to be Beninoise and not really Nigerians.

Ahead of #NGACAM

Fun fact: Nigeria's Super Eagles have never lost to a cup holder/defending Champion in a Knock-out Round at the AFCON.

The only other times we played a defending Champion was in the group stages and we lost one (1-3 vs Egypt in 2010) and drew one (1-1 vs Zambia in 2013). Both Egypt and Zambia conquered Africa in 2008 and 2012 respectively prior to those editions they faced Nigeria.


But when the chips are down... The Super Eagles always come out tops in a K.O. battle against the defending/reigning Champs and Cup holders. WILL THIS RECORD CONTINUE THIS SATURDAY?


1994 AFCON: CIV (Champions in 1992)

CIV lost to Nigeria on penalties in the semis after a 2-2 stalemate. A goal similar to the Aina Backheel assist to Ighalo was foreran in 1994 by OKOCHA Backheel assist to Ben Iroha in this 1994 classic.




2004 AFCON: Cameroun (Champions in 2002)

Cameroun with their Golden generation of the 2000s lost out to a determined Nigerian side led by the Magical Okocha and Mercurial Kanu. It was a quarter final tie and it ended 2-1 in Nigeria's Favor and began the rise of Vincent Enyeama on the Afcon stage.



2006 AFCON: Tunisia (Champions in 2004)

The Carthage Eagles clashed with the Super Eagles and came off worse as they were beaten and knocked out in the quarter finals on penalties (6-5) after a 1-1 stalemate. This was a day in which Enyeama further cemented his place as Africa's fast rising finest as he saved three penalties during the P.S.O and saved one during regulation time. Enyeama saved four penalties in all that day and Mikel Obi played his best game of the tournament against Tunisia as a youngster on his Afcon tournament debut. He had earlier made his Afcon debut game vs Zimbabwe and scored with a 20 yard scorcher in jersey #8. A most memorable day it was for Nigerian football.




2019 AFCON: Cameroun again!!! (Champions in 2017)

What will the story read? Time will fill in the details

The man thinks he knows too much. How can you part ways with your coach on the day of the biggest match of the season? All because you want to control who the coach puts on the pitch.

Senegal won and the noise suddenly died down. In a bid to belittle Cameroun, and at the same time, defend the awful display Eagles have been serving us in this tourney so far, y'all were predicting a lose for Senegal just because Morroco was unfortunate. So why is everybody quiet now?

but the truth is Morocco have been poor all tournament long, even Senegal haven't really impressed

They can choose to be Nigerians if they want to take advantage of Nigeria's Constitution of dual citizenship because many can still connect themselves.

Benin republic have played four games in this ongoing AFCON, they yet to win or loose any in regular time.

They have played three African giants, which include Morocco, Cameroon and Ghana. In all these matches they did not loose one.

Unfortunately, they have another african giant to play for a semifinal slot, that is Senegal. If they overcome this hurdle, i can confidently say they are the surprise team of the tournament

Na so we deceive Enyeama say Messi never score again am.

No be just to score at least they played with hunger even though they eventually lost by PK. It’s the attitude not necessarily the outcome on the pitch.

Odunayaw:
And if there was no blunder can you be sure of an equaliser from the Moroccans?

Which one is they were unfortunate. A loss is a loss. Even with all the favourable referee calls they got they still lost. I'm sure if it was Nigeria that lost in the same manner they lost. U won't be saying we were unfortunate but instead you will give 1000 flaws in Gernot Rohr's tactics

To bad. It takes a different level of professionalism to be a good sports administrator. It doesn’t matter if you have been in the game for ages

Uganada had a good game bro .. They dominated the 2nd half and even saved a penalty

He's way too controversial for a ref

Starboytwo:
Bros don't bother yourself, u people will Jah today....you should be more concerned about minimizing the goals against you...Hard fact

South Africa usually doesn't concede a lot of goals so I'm not worried about an avalanche.
