Not surprised at the Chukwueze selection. He was good in his cameo last game. Simon can always come in later Both are the same anyway, they pass when they feel like and go for the tightest of angles most times. Slight difference. Moses hugs the wing while Chukwueze is comfortable coming in. He has ...

Guy could have really built a legacy with SE.

He would rather twerk to "God save the King" in meaningless matches.

Why is he a fool? He got an England call-up and accepted. We take this thing to personal abeg. As if we wouldn't do the same.

One challenge Nigerian raised players are going to have in future is that the kids in the diaspora have a more straightforward pipeline to top clubs. I think Nigeria has made strides in youth soccer development, given the many academies that exist, BUT a 19 year old Nigerian kid may still be traini...

BTW, majority of the team are local players, yet they can't displace the init boys so this theory that their are some hidden gems lurking in Kastina, Onitsha and Benin that have not been scouted is wishful thinking. There are 6 foreign born players on the team and five are starting. It's not as if t...

I think we have all it takes to win it. This is not the most talented Eagles side ever, but I will go on record and say it's probably the one with the best balance of talent and graft. They all work blooming hard, from Osimhen to Lookman, Simon, Onyeka and Zaidu. I think we will finish it off before...

...the foreign whatever gang in Nigeria and at the football house will be thrilled and gloating at this Iwobi comment. The Oblong headed-one will say, "you see why I go to London all the time searching for players". Gloat or not, it’s an inevitability for the near future. When Nigeria as ...

This is inevitable. The pool of talent seems to be endless. Unlike some others, I don't see it as a negative. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the professionalism and application of our init boys. Now ideally, we should develop our local league simultaneously to really make for a great NT but I am...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbK0wNieoyM The Manager elaborates on what I always thought was Musa's role behind the scenes. It is indeed a critical role of stitching the team together. It should not be undervalued. That actually reminds me about the difference between those who think you can BUI...

Hearing bad news that Iwobi is out. Damn hope it is fake

The adrenaline will probably carry them for most of the game. It's a final afterall. I hope it affects some of the older Ivorian players but tbh Gradel, Seri and Aurier look super fit. Ridiculous that Max Gradel is still going at 36

Osimhen is having a phenomenal tournament and trust me, without him we wouldn't be here but just off the top of my head - Through ball from Iwobi against Equatorial Guinea - Through ball from Chukwueze against Ivory Coast - Throwing from Aina against Ivory Coast - Several good crosses that he normal...

And why is there almost no shooting from the outside? The truth is those long range shots are not the most precise and that's actually why they are very dangerous for the goalie. We need to be taking at least a couple in each game just to keep the defense honest. Sometimes those shot go in. Sometim...

We have seen two. One against Equatorial Guinea and the other against Cote D Ivoire

That's why we are Nigerians and a lot of neutrals are against us. The mouth ehn, as if we are playing Sao Tome or something

Ekong won't mind a jot. Musa will lift it. That is the Nigerian way

Nothing egregrious but he made a few mistakes that I missed. - I think we should have had a penalty when Williams clobbered Ekong. He got his fingers on the ball but it was dangerous play and for me VAR should have flagged it. I have seen those given. - Osimhen tried a shot from the half way that w...

Btw they are not the same team. The personnel have changed some. Gradel, Haller, Seri, Singo and Kessie have come in. They are definitely better but I feel we can exploit some of the older guys. I hope they play Aurier as well. Aurier is now a wastepipe. Singo is much better. Yes for our sake I hop...

That's why we are here na

It's Semi Ajayi simply because Aina, Onyeka and Calvin have Stans. Nobody seems to like Ajayi. He was immense against SA. Probably had a better game than Ekong and Bassey

They are not a good team, but a collection of great players. They have chopped and changed and experimented all tourney. They are extremely lucky they have had the personnel to weather the storm. Bottomline, they have only looked good in the first and last games. I believe we have a good chance agai...
