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. They had an easy path to the final. Had they met a team that could do the obvious to stop them, maybe they would have had time to...

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. When conversations are held for the true GOATs of Nigerian football, Osimhen will have quotation marks to his inclusion...for a supposed world class striker he sure ain't no Drogba whom he idolized, very weak mentality and just poor all around. He was already...

That Naija official wearing the green shirt doesn’t like Paseiro.

What is Adebayor doing with the AFCON trophy?

He was completely out of his depth. Even when Adingra was not breathing down his neck, he made the wrong decisions.

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

That didn’t take long.

Where is the link? Mods!

I just hope the NFF contracted somebody to record all the games there. I gather it has been a smashing tournament. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jThQ--O3V3Q If this is the best evidence you could find to support your case, then I’m sorry to let you know that, you don’t know footie. 1. Have...

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...

Is there an actual foreigner here that wants us to win it? Possibly only Futcha. Anyway, no problem. It will make it sweeter. Yujam? Yepp, Yujam might be neutral. Rawlings, Ogolo, Kabela, Goddess and the rest though....hmmm :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: Some of us neutrals tend to like teams that are easy o...

Excuses loading…..

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...

Simply make it an easy choice for the best to come to your land. How many players has Africa (read Nigeria) lost to other countries? England, France, e.t.c take their pick of the best, then leave the rest for you. Reverse the trend and have Europe’s best fighting to migrate to Nigeria. I remember th...

That’s history!

Cape Verde are woeful at penalties. Tame shots, No variance to their run to the ball. Poor placement. I don’t think they prepared for them and had no pena street smarts either. The last guy was even crying before taking it. Beb should not have taken the first one because he made some poor judgement ...

CIV should have subbed Kousounou off a long time ago.

Where are the knuckle heads who called Fofana a waste-pipe product of the Saudi League?

Yiperee. AFCON is kicking it up to higher gear. :thumbs: :thumbs: Quarter and semifinals are usually the best games in a tournament. The final itself is a hit and (more often a) miss game. So after a round of big boy bashing, it is time for the most exciting phase of AFCON. BTW, how come most of the...

We need to define a minnow. Minnowship is relative, teams like Cape Verde, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, heck even Comoros etc can't be considered as big achievers on the African football stage as far as pedigree and winning trophies go, yet they have done absolutely well recently to be considered dark...
