Because Ghana played rubbish against his team and won. I was hoping they beat us the moment they went ahead. We really didn’t deserve the win. It will soon be a year since Chris Hughton took over and the team is still not gelling . They struggle to string passes together and create chances. When th...

An interesting question if you ask about the African country.

Nigeria and Cameroun.

North Africans tend to play some kind of false 9.

Not really sure actually.

No sir, he was never ours in the first place.

We will do very Ok without him.

I played high school football (American football) and if you see some of the things our coaches said and did, these Gen Z weaklings would scream abuse. I'm sorry but sports culture is riddled with coaches doing things like pushing, yelling, making fun of and even harassing players, we took it in th...

Ireland are definitely tapping into Naija (diaspora) kids in sports.

I don't know if this is a deliberate policy though but look at their age grade football teams as well as athletics, there is something interesting being done there.

NONE OF THIS WOULD HAPPEN WITH AUTONOMOUS FEMALE & MALE FIFA's Please split FIFA up and let each go their independent way. Each can thrive without being an appendage of the other. In the long run there will be no loser here and problems like this will be avoided. Anticipating someone asking if ...

I guess since VAR overturned a similar penalty against Ajibade in the 1st half, they didn't want to appear to be favouring us. Had the English one been given, then surely this one would have been as well. I remember the same commentator that was surprised ours was overturned then said " it's a...

So guys, who do you want to win this thing now we and all other African teams are out, including Jamaica ? I’m talking about sentiment here, not punditry. I know you ABE guys are ever present, but consider this: I want England to win it for one simple, selfish reason: Nigeria. We are the only count...

Guy, the most obvious reason for those misses is pressure. Let’s not act as if the majority of human beings have nerves of steel. Not true. You've said it all sir. You simply cannot replicate game time pressure during practice. Chances are she has never ballooned a penalty over the bar before durin...

As long as it's Ibadan then he's in safe Amala territory

His father is an Ibadan boy, I am sure he himself eats Gbegiri and Amala regularly.

I said that refereeing would be crucial and it was: 1) How the ref gave that penalty against Ajibade is beyond me. Without VAR an unjust penalty would have been given against Nigeria 🇳🇬 (plus the England FK that led to the decision was never a FK as Ayinde cleanly won the ball from Lauren James). 2...

The way we just lost to England cannot be excused - we lacked believers I disagree, we needed believers to douse England's fire from the first minute to the last and we had them in abundance. Apart from Morocco, I can't even see any other African men's team that can play in such a disciplined manne...

We had to continue to play that tight disciplined game, even with a woman down, England are dangerous given any decent space to pass and move. Their women can run and run and apart from Rasheedat, Falcons were desperately struggling by second half of extra time. Playing a disciplined game and attac...

The women did incredibly well abeg, can you believe the high England were on after beating China 6-1 and what that would do to their opponents? A lot of other teams would have just folded away and hung on for dear life from the first minute. We needed to stand up to England and we did it perfectly w...

I couldn't watch the pk because I knew the England girls were mire technical. But damn Englsnd were down 1 person abd our girls were still very cautious. Nawa o, you can actually overtame players to point they won't know which leg to use kick ball sef. I wish they were all more daring like Plumthre...

She practically won all the headers she competed for. What a star, she did her job superbly considering she was playing out of position.

Michelle, you did me wrong but you are still a superb player.

Well spotted, George wasn't even born then.

Just a word of warning if you don't want to raise your BP, don't bother reading any England Nigeria articles or listening to TalkSports or 5Live.

Just accept that it is what it is with England and the support they give their football teams.

Don't expect Eni Aluko to be a voice of reason either.

An absolute superstar.

Despite being from the same country as Dino Zoff, he has an incredible fascination for Thomas Nkono.

I don't care if 100 things happens but we aren't beating England! Let take that beating like a man and move on! Round of 16 is usually our strength at the WC! I disagree, if we cut out the silly mistakes, we can beat England. They are not invincible, we are not China. Having said that, if we don't ...

My main worry is with Ayinde and her poor technique of shielding the ball in the middle of the pitch. A swipe here and a toe poke there and England are immediately on the front foot.

England will be running around like crazy from minute one, our women need to match that energy or else..
