Why are Nigerians so confident that..

[bamenda boy]

Cameroon go hia Wen in Uyo? Even Robbinoise had said it is written on the green grass.

[Tbite]

Because we have a balanced team
Because we know that winning AFCON does not mean a side are now World Beaters
Because of Home advantage
Because our coach does his homework! If Cameroon is a strong side, that also means Rohr was picking apart their holes and there are many
Because we are one of the few teams in Africa never fazed by stature. It makes no difference to us how many titles you have won, we play you the same way
Because, our talent pool is getting stronger by the month, and we have a coach who knows how to build chemistry. We are not a side that will rely on negative football or scrappy plays
Because even if against Cameroon we struggle physically or however else, we have impact players who can turn the game around in a moment!
Because Cameroon if anything are more likely to lose now, perhaps before AFCON, they would have been more cautious, but now they will be overconfident and play into our hands, the same way Algeria did.
Because even if that was not incentive enough, the fact that Cameroon are chasing the game will have ensured that. Perhaps you guys would stand a chance if you could sit back and dictate things, but you can't! In open play, Nigeria stands a chance against 95% of football teams in the world.

You will fall in Uyo.

Are u not confident that the champions will win in uyo? Will Nigeria not hia when in uyo? Will the champions not be at the wc? What u worried about?

[Flex Swift]

Maybe because a very useless Nigerian team coached by the coward Sunday Oliseh beat Cameroon in Belgium last year with all your Kung fu players available !

[Obong]

Uyo is my hometown. We have already done the needful. I would have said you guys should not bother about the trip, but I would be robbing you of the pleasures of the city - the enchanting Le Meridien Hotel, the great cuisine and the world-famous "Calabar girls"! May I use this opportunity to inform you that Cameroon is guaranteed to lose in Uyo in August. Take it to the bank, and cash it.

Those among us with functioning brains are aware that:

1) Cameroon is Nigeria's bogey team. They have broken more Nigerian hearts than love and marriage.

2) Nigeria has won a grand total of 2 games in a row. Our next two games are against Cameroon (the other undefeated team in Nigeria's group).

3) If Nigeria loses those two games against Cameroon Nigeria will probably be in third place - trailing Cameroon by 2 points, trailing Algeria by 1 point, and staring down the barrel of elimination.

If a functioning brain is using false facts as its foundation, then there is something missing in that functioning brain. A brain could be functioning, but what level is it functioning on? 10%(Very Low IQ)? or more.

From the table below, we had their number until the 80s when we lost more than we won. Then from the 90s till date, we resumed our dominance. So please tell me where the 'bogeyness' came from?. And guess what happened to the few time they won the finals at our expense? Controversy was the order of the day.

Facts can really be your friend if you seek for it.

I would have ignored your opinion (which I classify as silly talk) if you did not go ahead to insult most of the forum.
Cameroon has beaten Nigeria fair and square, exactly 2 times in history.

The first time was an extremely young National team that overachieved in 1984. Even with that team, Peter Rufai got injured in the Semi victory over Egypt, and a much less capable Patrick Okala was in goal for the final.

The 2nd time was the final match of the round robin group in the qualifiers for Italia 90. A much more stable team had beaten Cameroon 2-0 in Ibadan, & then there were all sorts of withdrawals from the team that went to Cameroon (we tied some matches away, I think to Angola & now needed a draw in Cameroon). We lost 1-0 without the likes of Keshi & Rufai. (I think Agu or Obi was in goal).

The 2 other Cameroon victories have been brazen robberies. A clear goal called back & a shady penalty awarded in '88, and the Ikpeba penalty in 2000.

Since you have a well functioning brain, I dare you to put your money on Cameroon picking the ticket ahead of us in the group.

So Nigeria played Cameroon on December 22 1968?

W1 what is wrong with placed confidence in our team? Would being afraid change anything? The worst that could happen is we lose. Being afraid or confident will not change that.

We are confident in our team and they are confident in theirs. The battle will be played out on the green grass. If our team have some reservations about the upcoming games, I can assure you so will Cameroon. They know we are not coming with school boys and if they snooze then they will lose.

All the pressure is on them. Don't think because they just won the cup means they can't dip in form. In fact it is more likely to happen.

Nothing wrong with confidence.

Arrogance/under-estimating an opponent is the doorstep to the house called failure (previous addresses: Denmark 1998, AFCON final 2000, Senegal 2002, Uganda, 2005, Egypt 2016 etc etc.).

You forget one key thing, we are not the ones playing. Regardless of our emotions, overconfidence or not, it is down to the players and handlers. We can be as humble as pie and they can still mess up and we can be as proud as peacocks and they can still win

[Bigpokey24]

Actually bamedele , youve been the one losing sleep about Cameroon v Nigeria...haba go and enjoy your 5th title...every thread from you is about how people are so this and that..spare us the spamming abeg

Overestimating your opponent while bringing down your team is a sure sign of deeper issues...

I'm ready to bet $1000 that Nigeria will beat Cameroon home and away, any Cameroonian here that has the heart to take me up on that bet can be my guest...and I'm damn serious.

[bret- hart]

Goddess if you are so confident put some money down. 500 dollars I will give if Cameroon qualifies. If Naija qualifies you give me 500. Simple.
