Guinea Bissau vs Nigeria (0-1)FT

[Naija fan]

Our passes are either too long or too short. Interestingly, the best passer on the team is VO

[txj]

We still have a lot to improve. We especially have to find a way to play in these conditions, with the right balance between attack and defence.
But 3pts and we move on to the next game,

[mcal]

...were these guys playing tired?
Looks lackluster from the beginning.
Oh well we're thru to serious business end of the tourney.

[joao]

We will likely end up as the lowest scoring team in this tournament, so much for all our "hyped attack"

Utter joke.

No, OVER-HYPED attack.
Again, what do you expect from a group lacking focus and discipline.

[truetalk]

OK. Getting worried about our inability to score.

We caught a break.

We are playing well and dominating possession.

We played a controlled game in the first, and I expected the gulf in class between the teams to show in the 2nd half.

That was the case, but something is still missing. Looking at today's game, I'd say it was the officiating more than the composure, but it is now a worrisome trend.

We could still make a run to the title, as we are solid at the back and in the middle, and things may just click upfront when the pressure is on.

[Showboy]

Not a pretty sight but we move.

[Odas]

All games in Group A are finished. Thus we beat GUI by 1-0, but EQU beat CIV by 4-0

[2drama]

not special to write home.

an ugly win but a win never the less

[Tbite]

Would you rather they had lost or tied to make more exciting to worth your while?

Can't believe I stayed awake at 3 am to watch this match.

Kaiiiii.

Point being it was terrible to watch. We can be happy at the result, but as far as opening our eyes to watch...it was essentially an eyesore.

I watched purely because I am supporting my country. Any neutral watching must be a moron. If I were a neutral, I would turn it off.

Anyway hopefully we learn from this.

[danfo driver]

And we were twerking for playing 90mins defence and scoring a penalty goal against CIV

Why we no go twerk when that pk gave us 3 valuable points?

How the mighty have fallen.

And then Vancity twerked to open the thread that we should give Peseiro contract.

[wanaj0]

Nwabali is not it sha. I many village football behaviours

He did what was expected of him. Same cannot be said of the remaining players

[mcal]

...wow, Ivory Coast lost today by so much wide margin.
Not paying their coach dey come back to haunt them. Shocking.

[maceo4]

We have a pretty sh1t team lol, way too much gra gra with just a few classy players sprinkled in…

truetalk,

The officiating was just awful. I think the officials bent over backwards to encourage the underdog but it hurt the quality of the match. These officials should not get anywhere to the medal stages of this competition in my opinion.

[Undertaker]

One goal in the group stage from open play and they said we have the best attack in Africa? For where?

[waka-man]

Moses given man of the match. IMHO should have been Osimhen

[Odas]

Not a pretty sight but we move.

Exactly!

[green4life]

Guys, this 5-4-1 is the way it's going to be for better or worse. I can appreciate a tactical grind so long as the players are smart with their movements within the set up. That is what we struggled with in this game and made life unnecessarily difficult. Ironically, I felt the same way after the CIV game even though I twerked well well due to 3pts. Anyway, we move.

[TonyTheTigerKiller]

Verdict… NOT IMPRESSED


Cheers.

[davidbam14]

It's 3-0 against CIV, so that puts in perspective our 90 minutes negative football again CIV

very true, i guess the question is how good are we???

[Tbite]

Coach needs to work hard with Iwobi one on one.

I feel our tournament will live and die with whether or not he can step it up a notch.

Abeg Okocha go and demand more from your nephew. We need someone who has some semblance of technical ability.

[green4life]

Moses given man of the match. IMHO should have been Osimhen

If Bushboy catch you ...

[airwolex]

The officiating was poor, but our attackers really let themselves down. They always pretty much make the wrong decisions. This team will find it very hard against better opposition
