If We Win AFCON, Who Lifts Cup?

[wanaj0]

Ekong or Musa?

I've met Musa before, he's really a nice guy but, for me, it has to be Ekong for all the hard work and leadership on the field. He appears to have become the face of the team. In fact, I have a feeling, Musa will support Ekong to lift the trophy.

It doesn't bode well for Musa who hasn't played a single minute to lift a trophy he hasn't really put in an on-pitch effort for. This is why I think, on the alternative, if we are leading with just a minute left in added time, Musa should be subbed into the game so it can make sense for him to lift the cup.

Dat one go vex some peeps here sha but just playing out possible scenarios in my head.

Most important thing though is for the team to win the cup. Those Ivoriens are far better and more motivated than the ones we met first round

Musa the captain will lift it. I think something similar happened in 1994

Abegi, make de team FIRST win the Cup.

Must we win before discussing who will lift the cup?

[mcal]

..some people are putting the cart before the horse by making plans on how to chop before we are even certain that the trophy will be ours.

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

...even Sao Tome, Lesotho dey surprise us.
Ivory Coast is the home team, wey go come in as minnow or na underdog dem dey call am.

[Cellular]

The best thing Osimhen can do for Musa is to help us be 2 goals up so that Musa can come in and have a cameo and lift the cup.

Of course it has to be EKONG, why the heck should this even be a subject of discussion? Common now!!!

This isn’t about your feelings or what you want. The captain of the team always lifts the cup.. and Musa is the captain, not Ekong


Cheers.

Hmmm ... shouldn't we first worry about winning the cup first before thinking about the small does ?
I think Musa being the most senior on the team lift it as I even think that if SE have a comfortable lead towards the end of the game Peseiro might slide him in the game !!

First let's concentrate 100% on beating CIV ... BCOS it will be hell to play them in front of their home fans !!

I think Musa being the most senior and the captain at large of the team.. . lifts da CUP, as I even think that if SE have a comfortable lead towards the end of the game Peseiro might slide him in the game !!
BUT
First let's concentrate 100% on beating CIV ... BCOS it will be hell-ish playing them in front of their home fans esp. since they will have revenge all on their minds !!

EII,

Wether they win or not, Musa is the captain of the SuperEagles and sentiments won’t change that

Keshi - 1994
Yobo - 2013

But Ekong is dreaming of lifting the cup sha and I have a feeling those NFF buffs think differently

https://boldsportsng.com/troost-ekong-d ... h-nigeria/

It is what it is. If we win, Musa would be the one to lift the cup. He will be brought on in the 89th minute for that single purpose. Similar to what Keshi did with Yobo.

Keshi did not play one minute of that final and he lifted the cup. So Musa doesnt have to play.

Nigerian Mentality its Musa but if na European they will both lift it

[iworo]

Shouldn't we just focus on winning? Who cares who lifts the cup? What if there is no cup to lift?

Thank you my brother. See me see trouble oh!

[1naija]

Neither of them cares. Musa is the captain until he retires. That's the way it works. Ekong speaks very highly of Musa, and from all indications he (Musa) has been very instrumental in the team's success so far. I suspect if we are leading comfortably towards the end of the game, Musa will be subbed in for the final minutes. I personally would like all 3 of them (Musa, Omeruo, and Ekong) on the pitch if that were to be the case.

[Odas]

You have been on the site for 19 years and still asking stupid questions smh

Wow! Is this necessary? Are there any 'stupid questions?' Just wondering

[Odas]

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

'Nigerian way,' or the norm?

Hmm, we have forgotten the Zambia Ivory Coast AFCON final that Zambia won on penalties despite CIV having World class players all over the park and missing a penalty in regulation time, hmm.
