Re: Peseiro v Iheanacho?.......Is there credence?

Is this anything more than rumor and innuendo? Kelechi was included in the squad despite being in injury recovery when the team was selected. Was he even considered fit to start in the first two matches? He's a senior player and has generally played better than Chukwueze or Simon in recent times, so...

Re: We need to talk about Osimhen guys

This seems like overreaction to me. It is not as though Osimhen has played poorly overall. He is still terrifying defenders and leading the attack very well, the boy has just been misfiring. It happens. We have to trust that he will start finishing again and maybe go on a streak of finding the net. ...

Re: Next Match: Round of 16 vs. Group C Runnerup

Actually, my permutations are incorrect. It cannot be Gambia, but it can possibly be Senegal. Actually, if Guinea win tomorrow, it is guaranteed to be Senegal based on head to head tiebreaker.

Re: Guinea Bissau vs Nigeria (0-1)

Osimhen is the best Nigerian footballer in the world, but Ndidi and Iwobi are the most important players in SE right now. Onyeka is an average replacement for Ndidi (similar defensively, but not going forward) and we have no one to replace Iwobi as things stand.

Re: The obsession with Musa he is not the worst player

Musa is not a professional footballer at this level. His club career has been less than irrelevant for years now and he has not performed for the national team in years, either. If you think Chukwueze should be replaced or is the "worst player", this is your prerogative, but there are many...

Re: Nigeria vs Lesotho - CAF FIFA World Cup Q 2026 (0-0) HT

They should remove Awoniyi, put Kelechi in his place, and bring on an actual wide player. Awoniyi and Boniface are too similar, and are occupying the same spaces and Taiwo has barely been in the game as a result. Kelechi has been creative when he gets to combine centrally, but is not a wide player.

Re: Nigeria v KSA. Starting lineup and game thread

Chukwueze has been terrible. Just terrible! He has not played well, but he also just played the best pass of the half. No idea how Lookman missed. Overall, we have been very good. You see how this 4-4-2 could just overwhelm teams, RSA have looked completely outclassed at times. Finishing has been s...

Re: Our usual weakness. Lack of real quality finishers

I do not think it is a lack of finishers necessarily. At the world level, current Nigerian teams have no idea how to attack when they are being given possession and are not allowed to hit on the counter. What chances did Nigeria really create after the red card? Alozie had a half chance and Oshoala ...

Re: Guinea Bissau vs Nigeria (0-1) Simon FT

The main difference in this match to the last one, was that Nigeria came out playing with aggression and didn't allow GB to settle, which led to them being less comfortable and making more errors. Hopefully the lesson is learned in that regard, the lethargic start to the first half is the main reaso...

Re: NGR 0 vs GUINEA-BISSAU 0

We do not have the midfielders to play with only 1 upfront at the moment, tbh. The biggest task before the next AFCON is to bring some new recruits in the fold. There are 4 in the squad (without any obvious talents being left out) and Ndidi is just recovering from a period of horrible form and injur...
