We're not #1 in Africa. I thought Senegal was the best team last year followed by Nigeria and then Morocco. But Algeria has had a resurgence and propelled themselves into the top 2. So being in the last 4 in the AFCON is actually reflective of our actual strength.

[Synopsis]

3rd place is what Nigeria is known for.

[Damunk]

NOBODY IS TOO BIG FOR ANYTHING BUT I AGREE WITH YOU THAT BENCHERS SUCH AS OSIMHIEN AND ONYEKURU SHOULD PLAY.
AINA SHOULD PLAY AND SO SHOULD UZOHO.

But if we lose, Nigerians will still bytch for using "the wrong players" just like we did about Madagascar after the fact. Before then, it was generally seen as not a bad idea to rest players and manage the yellow card risk.

ARGENTINA WITH AGUERO AND MESSI WERE EXCITED TO HAVE WON THE BRONZE IN A THIRD PLACE MATCH AGAINST CHILE JUST THIS PAST SUNDAY IN COPA AMERICA. LET'S GET OFF THE FREAKING HIGH HORSE AND THE SILLY SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT.

But the players on yellow cards were not rested against Madagascar neither were the starting strikers. Taking backwater based strikers to the nations cup has proved to be a gamble that didn’t payoff. I am not sad we lost because to win we would have continued to paper over all the cracks. Now Nigeria is forced to address the coaching crew the players selected and the tactics employed

This is true. I just realised it was the pre-match speculation and both Awaziem and Musa started the game.
But you speak about 'backwater strikers'...so who are the performing/elite strikers that were not taken to Egypt?
If you are thinking Iheanacho, even a poll on CE accurately predicted he would/should be dropped from the final squad.

Your idea would have been ok, but what happens if we lose the game? Will you and several others not blame the coach?

Do you still remember what happened when we lost to Madagascar?

We should rename the 3rd place - Nigeria! They've got this thing wrapped around their little finger.
