Re: Mauritania vs Algeria (1-0) FT( They make history)

I gave up watching this game as it was obvious the Algerians were not mentally in this competition. IMO, most North African countries think they aren't part of Africa and only take the AFCON seriously when it's held in a North African country. I think the North African players born in Europe are ev...

Re: As Osimhen continues to "sabotage" Nigeria

The player that got you through the group stages is the person "sabotaging" Nigeria. You demand 5 goals from him, but what about the other strikers in the team? Where are their shots on target, talkless of goals? :roll: The innuendoes in this post amount to slander and should not be tolera...

Re: We need to talk about Osimhen guys

Osimhen is not our problem. He was involved in all 3 goals we got. It's the other forwards we need to worry about. Teams will start double teaming Osimhen in the next round, and so far our forwards have not shown they can produce a single goal. Notice that Osimhen was also involved in the disallowe...

Re: We need to talk about Osimhen guys

As a whole they are all just missing chances. Very funny because lesser profile players have been more clinical. That Nsue is looking like Harry Kane. Moses had a great chance and he decided to dribble the goalie. Aina had a good chance but skied the ball. As a whole they seem goal shy. They need t...

Re: We need to talk about Osimhen guys

It's a good thing we finished second in the group and will not stay at this stadium. Our shots-on-target stats have been dismal in this competition so far. I know EG has been scoring tons of goals, but maybe a new pitch is what we need.

Overall, we tend to do better against the big teams earlier in the competition tho. I don't worry about meeting and taking out big teams early.

Re: Senegal vs Cameroon (3-1)

Song made a mistake by playing Onana. He should have left him out altogether. He is their best keeper but his heart just wasn't in this competition. Maybe he doesn't like playing for Song, and his inclusion is due to Eto based on speculation only it seems onana was imposed on song probably by the e...

Why a "misdiagnosis"? If he is back playing in Spain, then he faked his injury or made it seem worse than it really was. Only Sadiq would know how he was feeling and if he could play with it. Maybe he just wanted to go back to his club instead of sitting on the bench for several weeks. Bu...

Re: OSIMEHN IS A FAKE AFCON PLAYER OF YEAR

There was nothing unique about Osimhen's miss. I've seen something like that a multitude of times from top strikers. It was a rushed kick, and he just didn't contact the ball properly. A combination of the bounce, surface, wind, etc, can all play a role in a mistimed kick. It can happen to any strik...

Re: We can beat CIV

Anything can happen when it comes to Nigeria vs CIV. Our players will be fired up for it.

The perceived gap was even bigger between their star-studded "golden generation" and Keshi's new team in 2013. But we defeated them.

Cameroon was a participant in all of them. They were just not good enough to make the jamboree itself.

I am really not understanding you guys that say not taking advantage of the 27 player limit is not a mistake. I mean look at the Moffi scenario for example.
