Re: Ejuke showcases Okocha-like ability in Belgium: Time to replace subpar Chukwueze?

@Damunk, the art of dribbling has the unrehearsed, impromptu at its heart. As entertaining as this is for the audience, most managers/coaches keep a wide berth from such players. The impromptu adds an element of chaos in age where order is the demand. Anthony, Mudryk, Adama Traore; Newcastle cuttin...

No o! :ohmy: There is something quite discouraging about having someone you worked so hard for come back and berate you. Its worse than a back stab.I hope he can look past this.

Re: Where is all the anger coming from?.... A moment to recall and to say Thank You to SE

TODAY, my heart bleeds…. Today, my heart bleeds not because Nigeria lost in the championship game to Ivory Coast. It bleeds because of the rabidity of Nigerian football fanhood and what amounts, often, to senseless attacks neither supported by results nor bolstered by a clear outline for the future...

Re: Big ups to Terem Moffi

The most important thing he did in the game was not scoring the penalty but running to meet Aina to console him after the miss. I noticed a few selfish people here making disparaging comments against Aina because he missed the penalty, forgetting we wouldn't have been in the semi-final without Aina...

Re: My concern about the SA game.

My concern about the SA game is that they have booby traps planned for us. I hear they have some data crunchers working on all our games to evaluate our weaknesses. I assume we are doing the same to them. I still have flashbacks of them coming to Nigeria and beating us ( or was it a vital draw?) man...

Re: Kudos to CAF Presidet, Dr. Patrice Motsepe

Expanding the AFCON to enable East African countries to qualify has been a masterstroke. East African countries put up a good fight in the group stage to try to prove they belong in the tournament. This made the tournament entertaining eventhough they were quickly put in their place by West African...

Re: Is there a More Consistent AFCON Team than Nigeria?

As fans of the SE, you should not be satisfied with semi-final appearances. A nation with as much wealth and footballing talents like Nigeria should have more than 2 ACN titles to her name. Suffice to say, Nigeria has been perennial under-achievers at the ACN. True. We have 3 but I see your point.

Re: Nigeria become the top-ranked team in Cote d’Ivoire after South Africa shock Morocco

Scary for me, with the regularity with which top ranked teams have been tumbling down from this tournament. I did not see mighty Morocco falling to South Africa.
