Re: Nigeria 0 vs Tunisia 1 2nd Round AfCON 2022

The selection was poor for a game we needed to win. Samu should not have started.. and going forward for WC should not start. Sadiq should aways start ahead of Kelechi if we want to play two strikers. Our defence needs an upgrade. Yes... though easy to say in hindsight. I think the coaches should h...

Re: Nigeria 0 vs Tunisia 1 2nd Round AfCON 2022

Rohr is probably at home now laughing in German. Stop bringing up the name of the dude who lost to Central African Republic. His five years spent "learning" are the reason this generation of Eagles are still playing like individuals who just met, and not like a "team". Lets not ...

Re: Okocha should be very careful

Iwobi days as a starter for SE are done. JJ can promote his cousin all he wants but hes nit starting material for SE, might nit even make future squads once his relegation battle at Everton starts. They are not cousins nor are they in the same age bracket. JJ is UNCLE to Alex Iwobi. The point is Al...

Re: Wash Rohr betrayed?

I remember a time when no SE coach lost a competitive match in Lagos for almost 20 years or something and then only by penalties to Cameroon in the Afcon final. If you decide lose to Central African Republic in Lagos you shouldn’t be asking who betrayed you because you betrayed yourself This very F...

They qualified as best losers as they were 3rd in their group
What if their players recover from Covid-19?
I am actually more concerned about their players giving our players COVID.
