what an embarrassment

that should have been 8-kondo

After watching the highlights and the full match, i don't see why Ajiboye should be blamed for any of the goals scored. It was more of the Moroccan team against the goalie under heavy downpour. There was no defense in front of him to protect him, the scoreline should have been more. In my opinion the score might have been worse had Ezenwa been in goal. Ajiboye should be ahead of Ezenwa in the pecking order.

This is a Northern Nigerian team not a national team...

Exactly Bros!

As we all know Ezenwa, Ajiboye, Okoro, Udoh, Ezeh, Ojo, Ifeanyi, Atuloma, Ogbuh, Faleye, Okechuwu, Orji, etc. are all "Northern" Nigerians. Knuckle-dragging ethnic demagogues have invaded CE. SMDH.

if Im not mistaken his name means - a good sheep?

Ajiboye tried, should have been 10-0

No mind people on CE.

For a team that I personally believed would have exited in the group stages, they have done quite well to get to the final. The final result was painful for them but I hope we learn from it and get better.

[Cristao II]

Congrats to the team on finishing runners up! Much work clearly lies ahead of us with respect to putting together a successful CHAN team. The result shows two things:

1. Our league still has a long way to go.

2. We have to devise a better plan for our Chan Eagles. Scrambling a team together on the eve of the tournament simply doesn't cut it.

KPOM!!

Well, is true that I don't have any serious evidence that team has some spices of ethnicity/religion on it. For instance why take that small boy Muhammed (Boko haram) survive to the tournament if you know u will not use him? There were other players in the team that were marginally used... We have other good and better players in the league...

Another factor that militated against the squad is poor preparation, fire brigade approach by our local organisers... nothing seems to interest them because is not their private business. Typical Nigeria civil servants style.

But you guys should forgive me if my accusation based on the emotional torture I got from watching the poor show of shame melted to my country yesterday was unacceptable. ..I am truly sorry.

I know insurance is in Div 2 but I know how the Nigeria league works to some extent. Some Div 2 teams are far better than the Pro clubs here in Nigeria but gaining promotion depends on the power of your money and connection. I don't want to mention Warri Wolf, or J. Atete clubs all in Div 2 in delta state...

Vindave,

Not a big deal. Preparation was surely an issue but also rebuilding a team with little time. Here are things to note. After the WAFU late last year, here are key (Not reserves) players who were lost for reasons of injury or foreign contracts:

Anikaye (injury)
Akas
Azeez
Ubong
Eduwo

Coming into the final yesterday, these players were additionally lost:

Ezenwa
Itodo
Faleye

Now I have not mentioned suspended Ifeanyi Ifeanyi who was a constant from the WAFU but has really not been in form. In my own opinion, the reason why people often forget these losses is that the substitute players have played almost just as well which in itself is credit to the managers. IMO, Morocco was just a better team and a team drawn largely from Africa's champion club Wydad. The reality is that going into this competition this team was not truly expected to get to the medal round but they surprised everyone to reach the final. They were truly not expected to beat Morocco even if the game had been at a neutral ground, let alone in Morocco, without a miracle. They were underdogs. However, I certainly did not expected the wide margin of defeat but I believe that was due to the loss of a player to a red card so early in the second half in the midst of the odds already mentioned and faced with some soft decisions by the ref that appeared to favor the host team.

...can't bare to watch. That left back Moses head need checking. Reckless naija street style football.

mcal,

He isn't a left back. He was a wide midfielder in the game. It was awful tackle.

...thanks. Where he was making the tackle make me think so.

[Flex Swift]

The defence simply collasped. the score could have been worst. My only criticism from the highlights is that the goalkeeper should have been looking to knock the ball out of play rather into traffic. The keeper also looked Suspect on crosses.

[joplass]

I am hearing that the Eagles chickened out and could not keep up. WC is coming o.

[bret- hart]

Disgusting performance. I hope Rhor kicks Yusuf out of his caching staff. What a diabolically useless coach.

the old local chicken was on a yc....

and he decides to pull a 2-footed slide tackle.
