Re: Ola Aina Played AFCON 2023 Final with Injury, Nottingham Forest Coach Says
Yall are missing the point. Shows how committed and dedicated these boys are towards our Country. Well done and get well soon Ola Kpom! Even Troost Ekong played with a strap on his thigh all throughout the knockout stages. They put their bodies on the line for Nigeria and would probably not have pl...

Re: I Finally Watched the Match
Surprisingly, the SE didn't play as badly as some posts have suggested here. And I couldn't find any individual player to heap blame on. Not the coach either. Yet, some posters here have directed invectives on certain players. CIV won the match but on another day, with the ball bouncing differently...

His Legs Have Gone!
Kai, I hope folks on CE learn from this. Ekong will soon need a full week to recover after playing one game. Let’s pray and hope he doesn’t lose his legs before the World Cup…. If 9ja qualifies . :) https://cdn.theathletic.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1920%2cformat=auto%2cquality=75/https://cdn.theathle...

Re: Nwabali
Nwabali is a basket case. :D He almost gave people heart attacks after Iheanacho scored the winning penalty in the semifinal. Even his shaking before Ekong’s penalties was not good for fragile hearts. Otherwise, the guy comes off as a leader. On another note, maybe people especially on CE, will eval...

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: They were overwhelmed by the occasion
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 ...
