Re: Ivory Coast vs Nigeria (0-1 ) Ekong FT
Aina played his best-ever game in a Nigerian shirt today. He was tireless, eager to get on to the ball, and did not put a foot wrong. Why has he not been a regular? I am always comfortable whenever I see him and Awaziem in a Nigerian defence, no offense to the starters today. They did well too, but please render to Caesar's what is Caesar's.

Cry harder! If only your Arsenal can win big games like this, then you will know what it means to go to hostile territory, in hostile weather and play against a crowd of people who got a public holiday from their government to come to the stadium. Did you see who and where we were playing????!!

Just saying...
And began the tournament with a draw against a weaker side.

I forgot Osayi-Samuel could be another option on the wings. He's a winger converted to a RB

Bassey, Aina and that dude Onyeka were immense today
But Lookman Ademola has been the standout nigerian player at this tournament
Ivorycoast are a poor side though

Re: Ivory Coast vs Nigeria (0-1 ) Ekong FT
I have no issue with your other commentary, but Ivory Coast are a NOT a poor side. They played very well today but ran into a very well organized SE defensive line. It will not surprise me if they make it to the final. Perhaps a rematch with the SE.smartbrother wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 8:26 pm Bassey, Aina and that dude Onyeka were immense today

Great game my Super Eagles. Excellent game by all the players and coach. That defense I hail them, very compact and tight.

I am an Iwobi fan, I don't know what he is supposed to be doing in games. Sorry, I will count him as one of the poorer performers today.

That’s the Nigerian way.. but until then Nwabili got it

Credit to where credit is due ….Peseiro surprised me today… a well marshalled team…
This match counts the CIV coach of ever coming close to SE

Re: Ivory Coast vs Nigeria (0-1 ) Ekong FT
I wish the coach would have the guts to bench APOY and start Moffi. Osimhen is just not up to par so far. The narrative used to be he doesn't get service. But in the first 2 games, he has been fed enough times to have 5 goals!!! He is just not "him"
Bushboy's bushmen : 1.Isaac Success 2. Terem Moffi 3. Victor Boniface 4. Samuel Omorodion. 5. Samson Tijani. 6. Rafiu Durosinmi.

in fairness to those statisticians the xG is quite lopsided in favor of Nigeria

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

When you have a goalie that oozes confidence the confidence revibrates down the entire backline.
