Algeria’s Mahrez feels Eagles will be difficult to beat in two years


Algeria danger man, Riyad Mahrez has called on the Nigeria Football Federation and other football stakeholders in Nigeria to give the Super Eagles more chance to enable them to work on their mistakes and
be a force to reckon with in the future.

It was Mahrez’s back-breaking goal in the 92nd minute that eliminated the Eagles at the semi-final stage of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations but the Manchester City left-footer hinted that they were up against a

tough Eagles side that will blossom in the next two years if they are allowed to remain together.
He relived what was going through his mind when he was given the opportunity to take the last gasp free-kick decision and that he was delighted he found the back of the net at such time in the game.

“In my mind, I was just thinking to score,” Mahrez told SportingLife. It was a very good free-kick for me as a left-footer. I think we deserve to win and we are very happy.

“Nigeria team is very good and very strong too. They will be better in the next two years or so if they are given more chance. They will be up there again.”

The Manchester City winger also stated that their tie with Senegal will be tough because they only managed to beat them by a lone goal during the group stage of the current AFCON.

“Senegal is also a tough team,” he continued.
“We played them at the group stage and we are expecting another tough game. We will recover from this and prepare for Friday game with Senegal.”

Why is Mahrez patronizing our team?

charlesemeka85:
According to tuttomercatoweb, Napoli have made an official approach to Everton for Nigerian international, Henry Onyekuru. Napoli are offering 16 million euros to sign the Nigerian.

If true then this is the best move for a Nigerian for a long time.

Taliban:


If the line up us true, am disappointed by Rohr finally. This is a losers final for crying out loud, I understand Ighalo''s inclusion but the subs should be starting this game. Ogu, Onyekuru, simon, balogun even shehu except he's injured, kalu etc. Na wa o.

You want us to lose so you can come here and start blaming Rohr

AFCON 2021 Draw: Nigeria leads top 12 seeded teams
By Julius Okorie on July 17, 2019

Three time Nations cup winners Nigeria lead the list of top football nations seeded ahead of the draw for the 2021 Nations cup to be hosted by Cameroon.

Apart from Nigeria other seeded countries in Pot 1 are Cameroon, Senegal, Tunisia, Morocco, DR Congo, Ghana, Egypt, Burkina Faso, Mali, Ivory coast, and Algeria.

The draw for the qualifying round of the 2021 African cup of Nations, will take place on Thursday, 18 July 2019, at Aida Ballroom Cairo Marriott Hotel, Zamalek. This will be during the 32nd CAF General Assembly, scheduled for that same date and venue.

According to Confederation of African Football, the teams have been seeded into five levels, according to the FIFA official ranking issued on the 14th of June 2019

Pot 2 consist of medium rank teams like Guinea, South Africa, Cape Vert, Uganda, Zambia, Benin, Gabon, Congo, Mauritania, Niger, Kenya and Libya, who are seeded teams of level 2.

In pot 3, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, central Africa, Namibia, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Guinea Bissau, Angola, Malawi, Togo, Sudan and Tanzania, constitute the block of teams seeded in level 3.

Pot 4 is made up of Burundi, Rwanda, Equatorial Guinea, Eswatini, Lesotho, Botswana, Comoros and Ethiopia as seeded teams of level 4.
The 5th and the last pot, has Liberia, Mauritius, Gambia, South Sudan, Chad, Sao Tome and Principe, Seychelles and Djibouti, as level 5 seeded Teams.

The draw will give 12 groups of four teams each (Group A to L). The first two teams in each group at the end of the qualifying round, will qualify for the 2021 Nations cup which will be the second time AFCON will be featuring 24 teams.

Cameroon who were stripped of the right to host the 2019 Nations cup have a chance of hosting the continental fiesta in 2021, 49 years the last hosted in 1972. Cameroon who have won the tournament five times crashed out in the round of 16 in Egypt losing 3-2 to Nigeria.

Eswatini formerly known as Swaziland will be hoping to qualify and have an opportunity to make a debut at the Nations cup in Cameroon, just like Burundi, Madagascar and Mauritania enjoyed a test of the tournament in this year’s edition which ends on Friday.

The Sihlangu Semnikati (king Shield) as the national team of Eswatini are called, were beaten 4-0 by Tunisia in Rades in the qualifiers leading to Egypt 2019.

Humility017:


they're sent to the middle east with a more sophisticated weapon unlike the Nigeria army...
hope you remember the drone pic of the Nigeria military recently

They still die and it is more dangerous. Boko haram are not exactly using north Korea type weapons either. In the middle east you have to worry about women and children being used as suicide bombers and the enemy is also more advanced than here.

Nigeria has never lost a 3rd place match in the history of AFCON.

Played 7 times (1976, 1978, 1992, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010) and won in all.

Will today be different?

Bro mahrez no lie

sontoly:


If true then this is the best move for a Nigerian for a long time.

and Napoli is a team with attacking prowess and flair. suits him greatly.

Mickael2:
Sorry if I am drifting away from today's match but....this is what Pep himself said today.


"West Ham created problems, had chances
and played good. After the summer time,
after most of them having just four
training sessions, it is normal to make
mistakes, but is it good! It is better to see
it in the games than in training sessions;
training is fake, not real, and when you
play against a real opponent, that is the
best way to improve.

Cc theGoodJoe, why have you then been telling us that training is what improves a player when Pep himself has pointed out that trainings are fake? This should be a sound advice for all players moving this season, don't go to a club just to go there and train, go to where you'd be sure of regular playing time. Finito

*FINITO* In TheGoodJoe's voice.

@Mickael2 Thanks for bringing this here. You've put an end to this age long argument. Can you put Guardiola words in bold and colors for everyone to see... This statement is monumental!

I hope we can now rest. 5years no be small thing.

BascoVanVeli:


So after all these years na Pep come settle this matter wonders will never end

Trust him to come with another angle

The commentators are stating that we underperformed at this tournament and we just played to “get by and win”.

Thoughts?
