Wahala dey.. But all the best to Home based Super Eagles..

[Kabalega]

Any word on the Sudanese injuries?

[ohenhen1]

Sudan game will be tough.

[bret- hart]

This is why you take a good bench to a tournament not deadwoods. I wish the team the best but i fear Sudan might be a bridge too far.

[walesvilla]

At least there is a ready made excuse when Sudan knocks us out

[pajimoh]

SUDAN WILL FALL TO THE SE

[FATHER TIKO]

We still have enough to subdue Sudan...

What's wrong with the bench?

Apart from No. 14 (who was behind Orji and Itodo - as well as the pre-tournament injured Adeleye - in the depth chart), the bench has held up pretty well. Frankly, I cannot think of anyone else who came off the bench (Dayo Ojo, Gabriel Okechukwu, Ikouwem, Muhammed, and even the brief glimpse of Nur) that has not done relatively well in the context of the team. In other words, it's not be a great team to start with IMHO, but there has been virtually NO drop off in quality when the coach turns to the bench. In fact, if anything (apart from No. 14) the team's performance got better.

Tough breaks...

Eneji was among the team's best performers at the WAFU Cup (together with the unavailable Aremu and Adeleye), while Orji and Faleye (when his head is screwed on straight) has been among the better performers at this CHAN. Ifeanyi Ifeanyi brings considerable tournament experience to the table but this tournament will not rank among his better performances (and his replacement Dayo Ojo has acquitted himself well). And of course Sudan seems a very good team. Good luck to the lads!

What is with you and this #14 (his name is Timothy Danladi) ??
In all the years I have known you on this site, I have never seen you hold such resentment for any individual as much as you have for this poor lad.
He made a few mistakes in his first start in a very tough match. Cut his some slack, will you?

When the boy was celebrating the second goal with Ezenwa, I was thinking in my head " isn't that the useless boy according to Gotti? No make Gotti see you o"

Only one team will make it to the final so that’s hardly a reason to be fearful,why do you think so?I personally thought Zambia would beat Sudan because their team isn’t too different from the team they used in the World Cup qualifying group but I guess they where over confident and couldn’t come to terms with conceding first but Nigeria have shown resilience in such situations this time round.

In fact some players on the bench have proven to be relatively more effective. I will rather the coach had dropped either one of Faleye or Ogbuh and beef up the attacking middle in Gabriel. Dayo Ojo held up well and has made the team a more mobile
