Re: Winning The Trophy Is Important For A Successful Future
Why should some players do the heavy lifting for the national team and others now feel its an attractive place for them to swoop in and take the honors In the long run this is not sustainabile We need to build from home and make the competition for places exciting for the team.

Re: Is this going to happen again?
Let me bring a different perspective, from my Cameroonian colleague....Nigeria has never won an AFCON that Cameroon paritcipated

Re: Nigeria vs Cameroon (2-0) Lookman x2 Hangs, Our Osimhen, Bassey assists) FT
I don't know why some of us are complaining. To be it was a decent game we played. Osimhem as usual held his own, pulled the double teaming. The Cameroonians had no game plan than to obstruct the eagles. Lookman was to the eagles today what Victor Moses was to the team in 2013. But for a team to be...

Nice workout for the boys, great win against our arch rivals
The Cameroonian stirker who took out Nwabali should have been red carded, his actions were clearly intentional

Re: RAINBOW BEHIND OUR SECOND FINISH CLOUD
SE has had a poor start to the AFCON…. With all the attacking talent (most dropping off injured like flies), we have only scored 1 (one) goal from open play BUT the most maligned defence… has considered 1 (one) goal all tournament…..as well?? That led to a second place finish….. This might sound ba...

Re: Guinea Bissau vs Nigeria (0-1)FT
Our strikers need to start finding ther goal scoring confidence quickly because better teams will not be so forgiving. We also dwell too much on the ball
A win is a win but we can and should do better..Next game is already going to be tough

Re: Troost appears out for the rest of the tournament
Injuries are part of the game and it’s unfortunate for the player who put in his mileage to have been selected in the first place I hope both players recover well On the other hand this gives the other players an opportunity to show they belong and if they do not , that will be the bigger tragedy fo...

Re: Friendly: Nigeria 0-2 Guinea FT
As a fan, who is clear about the fact that I have no influence on the results or what goes on in the team, all I can say is that this does not bode well for confidence going into the tournament With a 2-0 defeat, 2 things come to mind 1.

Re: Friendly: Nigeria 0-2 Guinea FT
My concern in all this is still no Boniface with a muscle injury. Suddenly we've gone from "spoiled with strikers" to having limited options. Watching NFF and the coach blame each other for the 25 (instead 27) player selection is comical at best. I think the language barrier may have been...
