Re: Nigeria vs CIV (1-2) Ekong , Kessie, Haller FT
I keep repeating the obvious that Peseiro mismanaged his team by not utilizing his full squad. He basically gassed all his starting players out and then wondered why they couldn’t perform in the final. Everyone kept cheering why change a winning team. But it’s not about that, it’s when your starter...

Re: Pitso Mosimane
Would he be a good fit for the SE? He knows the African game well and won a few CAF Champions League trophies. He also finished 3rd in the Club World Cup with Al-Ahly.

They saved their worst game for the final. Anyway they did well. They partied too much after the semifinal win. :) They finally came across a team that figured them out.

Re: Ivory Coast Shouldn't have Won!
It is very difficult to beat a team twice in a tournament especially in a final. Factor in that it was a team that was reinforced by key players like Haller and Adingra. A host team. With a new home coach. A team that went through fire and came out stronger to reach the final, while their opponents ...

Osimhen no be am. 7 games. 1 goal. Smh.

He was already...

Not good enough. Key players are just not up to the task. A team is only as good as the weakest link.

Re: Nigeria vs South Africa (0-0) HT
These S. Africans are useless. Cape Verde would have scored two goals by now. The S. Africans will rue not scoring when Nigeria scores one goal and parks in front of goal even more. Anyway, these are the least generous defenses so expect a 1-0 score line or penalties. Hopefully, one team will get ti...

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.
