Re: We can beat CIV

Anything can happen when it comes to Nigeria vs CIV. Our players will be fired up for it.

The perceived gap was even bigger between their star-studded "golden generation" and Keshi's new team in 2013. But we defeated them.

Nigeria has never won an AFCON when Cameruin was a participant. 😛
Cameroon was a participant in all of them. They were just not good enough to make the jamboree itself.

1980 - eliminated by Guinea
1994 - eliminated by Gabon
2013 - eliminated by Cape Verde :lol:

Re: Sadiq OUT of AFCON tournament, Onuachu called up

I am really not understanding you guys that say not taking advantage of the 27 player limit is not a mistake. I mean look at the Moffi scenario for example. He could have been in camp blending with the others, but he has been forced to wait until he is available. Same with Onuachu. The SE have look...

Re: It's Up To Peseiro - Sweden Top Division Goalkeeper Open To Solving Super Eagles Crisis In Goal At AFCON

From the clips posted, I would say he is at least better than Uzoho. He should be invited to compete for the position with local options from the NPFL. Uzoho and Okoye have nothing more to contribute to the SE.

Re: Did Henry Onyekuru Actually Refer to Nigeria as...

Poor judgement by Onyekuru to post that on social media. Many Nigerians have probably said worse things in private or even publicly. I wouldn't blacklist him from the national team solely for that comment. If I were in the NFF leadership, I would have a frank talk with him though and encourage him ...

Re: Zimbabwe was Cheated.

You’ve got to go back to the point at which the pass to the back of the defense was made. It was a good run, but the passer hesitated which led to offside. I see your point. He looked like he may have been offside when viewed from the angle of the camera, but we can only be sure when the action is ...

Re: Zimbabwe was Cheated.

The Zimbabwean defender in the middle just about kept Simon and Boniface onside. Boniface did step back onside before the shot, so he had that awareness.

Phew! We always suspected South Africa would drop points away from home, and I'm relieved to see they’ve not improved in that respect. This puts us right back in the mix.

Re: FT: Zimbabwe 1 vs Nigeria 1

Just saw the goal, that's purely the keeper's fault. From that distance, a keeper should be keeping that out. Uzoho seems to be flat footed. Yep. I'm surprised people here are saying most keepers would concede that goal. That would have been an easy parry for most good goalkeepers. Uzoho made it lo...

Re: Uzoho has to go!

I told you guys we should have been looking for another keeper after Uzoho let that goal in against Ghana. Even Ezenwa wouldn't have conceded that soft goal. That fact he is still here shows we're not serious.
