Re: Egu and Tunisia again
The Algerian team has been weak this tournament. And when you check their calibre of players in their first 11, some play in oscure leagues like Saudi, some are bench warmers in Europe. Their times up.Enugu II wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:47 pm You just can't be overconfident at this stage.

In fact, the Algerian player should have been redcarded for a deliberate dive and fouling the Ivorian player. It was just incredible.

As touching Tunisia, playing in obscure leagues says little about the team. Sunday Mba playing in the local Nigeria League was the Elephant Slayer in 2013!

At this stage any team playing Nigeria will always prepare for Nigeria. I hope we won't be complacent and take things for granted. Tunisia has always played Nigeria tough. We beat them for 3rd place in the last tournament and I am sure it is still fresh on their mind.
But I have abundant confidence that Nigeria will win handily.
He also said "At this stage any team playing Nigeria will always prepare for Nigeria" who else should they prepare for? Afghanistan??? The level of cowardice and weirdness on this forum is beyond me. Due to their support for failures like Arsenal and Tottenham, as well as PTSD received from 6 years of Groundnut Rogue, Nigerians have now become failures, losers and cowards who talk nonsense!
WTF?!! We are playing Tunisia! They will prepare for us and we will prepare for them. We now know that our team will fight to the end, unlike before. We will do our best to win. If we lose, so be it! WTF?! What manner of human beings are these??

Re: Egu and Tunisia again
If I was Tunisian, I’d be quaking about Sunday. These are two teams whose fortunes are heading in very different directions.

What I do know is that since we fired a coward, whose face looks like bottle opener, my team has played differently. We have attached and we have defended. We have scored 6 in 3 and conceded only 1, due to a penalty. We would have scored more than 3-4 in the first game alone and at least 3-4 in the third game, but for bad finishing.
Having had the joy sucked out of me for the past 4 years or so, I will support my team with so much vigor, happiness and determination on Sunday! What ever happens after that, happens!

Re: Egu and Tunisia again
I know Eguwavon and the players will not underestimate Tunisia. I expect a tough game from the Tunisians as they have been hit by a lot of adversity.

Re: Egu and Tunisia again
11 v 11 and though Nigeria will begin as favorite, we better be ready because being in top league no go play ball for you and na one mistake you go go home.

No reason to underestimate Tunisia who are ranked higher than Nigeria per FIFA. Nigeria are no favorites but should be eager to prove they deserve a higher ranking than their opponents

Only the SuperEagles can beat the SuperEagles in this tournament. Happily, Odiye isn’t here to gift Tunisia an own goal

Re: Egu and Tunisia again
Win or go home time. It frankly matters nought how you got to the knockout stages. Italy were crap in the round stages in 1982 and played some of the best football in WC history to win the cup.
