we Nigerians like dreaming shaa.

every manager has their anointed, whether or not we like it. Onuachu will always be called upon before Osimehn and there's nothing we can do about that.

as a Barcelona fan, I had to watch a natural right back, being benched for a midfielder taking his position even without him being injured. That's when I knew, some things are meant to be. 20 players have played out of 23 players, na only pesin wey dry dream go expect that number to increase.

neither of the remaining 3 players will get one minute.

I dont hope for 3rd place match but that's an avenue to test the 3 others. I think he will use them in 3rd place match if we lose tomorrow.

TheSuperNerd:




I said same against Cameroun and SA.... That we will beat them and nothing bad happened. Several here have uttered boldly that we will triumph even when we faced Cameroun and the end result was still positive.... Fear not Mr. Somehow.... Stop feeling somehow....

Okay o. I want the best outcome though.

Meanwhile, Senegal star Sadio Mane says helping Liverpool win the Champions Leaguewas special, but his “absolute dream” is parading the Africa Cup of Nations trophy
through the streets of Dakar.
The west African team known as the Teranga Lions are two victories away from fulfilling the dream of their 27-year-old talisman, starting with a semi-final against
Tunisia in Egypt Sunday.
“Going to Dakar with the trophy would be extraordinary,” said Mane, who shared the
Premier League Golden Boot award last season with fellow Africans Mohamed Salah
and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
“My absolute dream is to help Senegal win the Africa Cup of Nations -- that would
surpass even what I achieved with Liverpool in the Champions League.
“We have to accept being among the favourites and many people are assuming we will
play Algeria in the final,” said the scorer of three goals so far in the tournament.

The Major reason is so that he will have an edge to the other guys (Salah and Auba) come awards time (whether CAF or Ballon D'or)

He shouldn't deceive us with his trophy parade bullshit.I'm sure he is going to try to hard tomorrow and make mistakes. Tuniia might end up winning

Home Analysis Match Analysis Africa Cup of Nations 2019: Algeria vs Nigeria – tactical preview



The last four of the Africa cup of nations pits Nigeria against Algeria. The desert foxes of Algeria are the highest goal scorers in the competition with 10 goals, and the yet unbeaten side only conceded their first goal against Ivory Coast in the quarterfinal. Nigeria, meanwhile, are less swashbuckling but do know how to win games, losing only to Madagascar after they had qualified from their group.

Our tactical analysis charts the progress of both teams and how the game can be won for both sides.

Form
Nigeria qualified for the semi-finals in a 2-1 win over rivals South Africa in Cairo. The Super Eagles took the lead through Villareal man Samuel Chukwueze, and were unlucky to concede when video assistant referee-VAR spotted Odion Ighalo’s touch which made Bongani Zungu’s looping header onside. The Nigerians found an 89th-minute winner from a corner kick scored by Udinese’s William Troost-Ekong.

Algeria came out on top in a pulsating 1-1 draw with Ivory Coast which went to extra time and penalties. Sofiane Feghouli netted the opener before Aston Villa’s Jonathan Kodjia equalized for the Ivorians in the second half, Algeria’s Raïs M’Bolhi saved one of two missed spot kicks.

Varying Styles
Algeria are intricate in and around the box. With their 4-1-4-1 setup allowing the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Feghouli, Youcef Belaïli and Baghdad Bounedjah to combine with quick movements. Nigeria, pertinently, have a strong defensive core that includes midfielders Wilfred Ndidi, Peter Etebo and the back four.

Nigeria have shown incredible fighting spirit so far at this tournament such that they haven’t played at their best but keep winning. Their aerial prowess (17 aerials won per game) has been important for them, and they would look to utilise it against the Algerians (13.4 aerials per game). With diagonal long passes from their defence into pacy and tricky wingers, Nigeria isolate the full-backs and hit on the counter. Central defenders Omeruo (5.5 long passes per game) and Troost-Ekong (4. are adept at it followed by central midfielders Etebo (3.6) and Ndidi (2).

Advantage Nigeria?
Nigeria’s conservative style and the extra 24 hours preparation having played on Wednesday night might prove vital. We also have to take into account Algeria’s all-action style and those extra thirty minutes and penalties in their quarterfinal clash on Thursday night. Nigeria also have the psychological advantage having beaten the North Africans in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, although the return leg ended one-all with Nigeria already qualified, Algeria were awarded a three-nil win due to Nigeria fielding a suspended player.

Adam Ounas, however, must have other ideas, he has three goals and one assist in only 121 minutes and the Super Eagles should be wary of the Napoli man. Mahrez is also dangerous as ever for Algeria having already netted two goals, he and striker Bounedjah would hope to get at Nigeria as much as possible with Islam Slimani also on the bench.

Conclusion
It would take a huge effort to knockout this rampant Algeria side, thus Nigeria need to bring their A game. Their hopes rest on the shoulders of their all-important defence, as well as Chukwueze, Alex Iwobi, Ahmed Musa and Ighalo going forward. Algeria must be hoping to dispatch the Super Eagles early but that could just play into Nigeria’s smart play.

However the outcome, both teams can be proud of their AFCON run and the winner would take that momentum into the final

CODE 8:11 Says:

Nigeria 2:1 Algeria.
Nigeria should win IF AND ONLY IF, we convert our chances to goals. We can’t afford to miss many chances like what we’ve been doing. Algeria doesn’t really know how to prepare for us because of Chukwueze and Musa attacks coming from two ways. Our #10 must pair with Ighalo to score goals, because Ighalo alone will fumble against Algeria: he’s is too flat footed, and sluggish.
Algeria are not that great. Let’s stop giving them unearned credits: they’ve been playing against poor Africans countries, that’s all. Algeria not like Argentina or Spain, not even Mexico! Respect Algeria, but no need to get panic. Lastly, Algerians know how to dive, we should be careful of penalties against us and we should notify the referee about their diving antics early on. Algeria can never play against us the way they played other countries: they’re aware of the danger. We can still intimidate them. And once you’re intimidated, you’ve already lost the battle. Up Super Eagles �!

Seems Caf and the powers that be don't want Eagles to win this game.

Shameful and disgusting plots will fail.

I think Mane has done enough to win APOTY 2019 even if he loses tomorrow.

Are you predicting a loss?

It seems to me that what you typed up there is the outcome of a loss but you're using words to cover it up?

No na ,from day 1 ,b4 d afcon started I av always predicted us to come 1st,am only trying to paint a picture of tmaos mood thread if things doesn't go as planned

Kai. It will be very funny.

Some will even deny ever supporting Rohr to stay after the AFCON



But I believe the match would end 1:0 in favour of Nigeria with Musa the difference maker

We will be surprised by what will happen tomorrow just like the world cup qualifiers.....the score line will be such that before the end of the match...we will be rejoicing

In our last 2 games we tend to score first then sit back to use counter-attacks which have failed twice as our opponents equalized.

We might not get away with it if we try it against Algeria.

I am sure we will score multiple goals tomorrow, I'm feeling 3-0 or 3-1.....


Now just imagine we are in the final with Senegal, offcourse its a tough one, everyone done run tire, score levelled at 1-1...

78. Musa OUT, Onyekuru IN

84. Yellow idrissa Gueye

85 Ighalo

86 Corner

86 GOAL Onyekuru(Simon)

87 Ighalo OUT, ONUACHU IN

94 Iwobi OUT, Mikel Obi IN

95 full time....

Its an 18 month loan deal, he has completed the first 6 months, so he will complete this full season to complete it.

oh, I see. Thanks for your response. I just saw his post on twitter he even got a goal today, so was wondering why he's still doing preseason with them instead of Chelsea

What does he mean by 'unlike before'

If you watched the match Ndidi ducked the ball and it deflected off him

Don't people even score from perfectly set walls?

I think some fans watch more game tapes than our coaches. We need to learn from this comment and not take it too personal. I think the culture in Africa is about hiding tactics but I think we will do better if teams are made to give their opponents game tapes because it will help coaches improve and not be one dimensional.

and sometimes I think our coaches don't look to improve and grow, like you said they are too one dimensional and easily predictable
