darkelf: Babangida was on drugs in this game. The guy practically dismantled SA on the night. Total demolishion job by Tijani, all thanks to Bonfere with the stroke of genius switching him over to torment the SA right back. I used to bang people silly on Playstation one with Babangida and Amokachi on winning eleven. 1 Like |

Starboytwo:. I honestly don't understand you people again. Is Moses Simon a defender? Is defending his primary duty? What do you mean by he put up a strong defensive shift all the time? A type that forces us on the back foot even against acclaimed minnors. Oga, attack is the best form of defence. You could see that in yesterday's game when Chukwueze came on. 2 Likes |

Oasis007: A good defender would have blocked that cross or seen him off to the touchline. But Awaziem gave him too much space he kept backtracking as opposed to closing him down and the space down. A reflection of a player with limited pace up against a much faster player. That's why Awaziem was the WEAKEST LINK in thay team. 1 Like |

Yes, we have beaten Cameroon but the next game will prove even more challenging. Rohr should start Chukwueze IMO. We need to start doing damage early to stand a chance. We can't wait to go behind to SA or we may not be that lucky again The fact that we took just 4 MFs to this AFCON may just come back to hurt us if one of them gets injured like Mikel. Thank God they aren't the injury prone type. SA will prove more difficult. They are a better technical side than Cameroon. Rohr needs a better technical assistant after this AFCON (if he isn't sacked). African teams are upgrading and we can't be left behind. Our defense needs to do more to shield our GK since it seems like we don't have a good shot stopper who can perform heroically like Enyeama and Ikeme et al Let the players keep he celebrations to the minimum so that they may focus on their next game.

DrKlever:Chukwueze didn't change the game. We have Odion Ighalo to thank, having learnt from his mistake earlier in the tournament where he tried trapping the ball in the penalty box instead of hitting the ball one time. Yesterday, Omeruo's mis hit shot fell to him and he hit it one time, goal! Musa's chest pass, he hit one time, Goal! Chukwueze had nothing to do with any of the goals. He didn't even have a shot on target. 6 Likes 1 Share |

komekn: It would have been suicidal to close in on Basagog. Maybe Awaziem should have done better in not allowing the cross but this is football and stuff happens. As per weakest link if I am forced to give it it would go to Ola Aina. That second was too poor on his part and he switched off other times in the game when Omeruo had to save him. 1 Like |

komekn: You're on point. Awaziem's failure to close Bassogog down gave him the chance to drop a pin point cross that beat the defence. Thank goodness he learnt from that as he didn't allow Bassogog such space in the second half. The coaches must have pointed it out to him. 1 Like |

BascoVanVeli: The second goal wasn't Aina's fault. The moment omeruo missed the ball that went to Njie, there is nothing he could do as the attacker was already in his front with the advantage. Infact he was lucky that the guy scored cos he foul the guy but thank God he didn't fall down but went to score. If not, that would have been a penalty and a red card, because he's the Last man. That would be double jeopardy, meaning that we would have lost the game since first half 3 Likes |

for me personally I think Moses Simon was one of our better players before he got substituted on many occasions he had the beating of the cameroonian left back but unfortunately his final balls weather shots or crosses were off the Mark. Samuel when he came on was also very good put the cameroonian defenders on edge like super nerd said his excellent movement created space 4 Awaziem to deliver that excellent Cross which resulted in the equaliser. Sometimes we don't need to knock somebody else to appreciate someone else's game for me Simon had a good game it's just that Samuel was better and carried more threat 3 Likes 1 Share |

timay: Aina would have done better if he was physically as strong as Njie. That's the truth although if Omeruo had some the earlier Ariel battle, it wouldn't have come to that. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by timay(m): 9:24am On Jul 07, 2019 |
darkelf: At that point , physicality is useless. The attacker was in his front, their is little he can do , except you are suggesting he foul the guy from behind, that would be worse, cos it's a red card and a penalty, which we wouldn't be able to fight back any longer The last hope at that point would be your goalkeeper to save you or at least the attacker shouldn't finish the ball well |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by chrisooblog: 9:27am On Jul 07, 2019 |
komekn:I think you are being a bit too harsh on the young man don't forget he is just a makeshift right back which he has performed creditably well. He hasn't really been poor against winger's so far in this tournament except for his first-half display against Cameroon he has more than held his own. Yes he should have done better trying to keep out the cross but let's be fair the cameronian delivered a very good Cross that would beat a lot of decent right-backs |

Whatever happens in our next game, Please tell Rohr not to field AKPEYI. The South Africans seem to know him very,very well. They know his low points as a keeper and will exploit them to the fullest. A word is enough for the wise. 5 Likes |

Oasis007:Bro, don't be carried away. Rohr just wanted to justify his starting line-up. Should he start Moses Simon against South Africa and get knocked out.He will be sacked. Iwobi for the 80mins he spent on the pitch produced only 3 key passes while Chukwueze produced same 3 key passes in just 30 mins. You can't set up your team defensively and still tell us we don't have good strikers. Start creative wingers like Onyekuru and Chukwueze and see a poor 9 net a hat-trick. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

timay: It was 100% Aina's fault. He slept off everybody in the stadium knew that the striker was going to win that ball but Ola failed to anticipate that and allowed his man to enter inside. Even the supersports crew said he was to blame. Omeruo didn't miss the ball the striker was in front of him only a foul would have stopped him from heading that ball but who would expect Aina to sleep off? 1 Like |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Barryseal: 10:07am On Jul 07, 2019 |
darkelf: One of the chances he created was as a result of the short comings of his weaker foot, he was in a position to hit the ball with his right but instead tried to cut to his left, the defence recovered and he had to square to Musa. He had higher chance of scoring if he took the shot himself, albeit using his weaker foot. That is why stats don't usually tell the full story. Secondly I don't think 2 players were outrightly marking him. He more or less ran into traffic when he tried dribbling. Chucks had a decent game but I agree with Rohr, the goals came inspite of him not because of him. He wasn't the game changer. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Starboytwo:You dey talk like this because we later won. We got the first goal because we attacked them first. But after the first goal our guys wanted to defend till halftime which gave Cameroon chance to equalize. It's attacking football that won us this game not some defensive football. Egypt lost yesterday because there coach in a bid for defensive solidity opted for a 4-2-3-1 instead of his 4-3-3 flat which has been winning him games. |
