Now I know you just talk just for the heck of it. Which Tunisia is good in PK? The one that have missed 5 PK in a row? Baba na real wa for you

Tunisia would be flogged. There camp is ravaged by COVID-19 and they have as many as 7 starters out.

They qualified as best losers as they were 3rd in their group

Tunisia has never been easy to play, we will have to be at our best as they are a traditionally very organised team. all the players play mostly at home so they always be a threat.


not an easy draw


to be the best you have to beat the best of them all

You just can't be overconfident at this stage. We have been playing better but these teams know all tricks in the book and it can be annoying. BTW, does anyone know why the referee failed to check VAR on the pk that Mahrez missed [Akgeria v Ivory Coast] ? That was no way on earth a pk. In fact, the Algerian player should have been redcarded for a deliberate dive and fouling the Ivorian player. It was just incredible.

I hate to play teams like Tunisia, they are very good at pulling every tricks out of their hat especially when it comes to knock out tournaments, but we will beat them.

My friends, we can be overconfident here, but I hope the boys are not, and I hope they realize that this is football and many strange things happen in a one-off game. Teams that were totally lousy in the group stages have gone out to win World Cups and Nations Cups. It is not unheard of. Overconfidence kills in football. Ask the Brazilians.

So what do you want to hear? That they will beat us? I don't get it with some of you guys. If you want to believe they will beat us fine but don't try to persuade does of us that think differently. I am in the group of people that think we will not only beat this Tunisia team but that we will beat them well. With at least 2 goals that is.

Nigerian fans have become so weak minded, I guess that's what years of been used to mediocre standards does to you as a fan.

Aina & co should make sure they don’t step on anybody’s foot in the penalty box o! That’s how Tunisia likes to score when they can’t get goals from open play

Did a sneak peek in the Tunisian fans forum and found a thread on the upcoming game with the feelings of their fans mostly leaning towards dread and hopelessness against Nigeria, they seemed to be particularly scared of Simon Moses (which could suggest Simon will be the most targeted player), fortunately we have unpredictably dangerous players in other positions and Nacho, Awoniyi and Aribo will fancy their chances against them.

Here's the thread, you can use Google translate cause it's not in English

We need to be careful not to concede needless FKs and Pks. Ekong and Aina especially need to be careful. Thats how they will try to score cos i dont see them scoring us in open play. We also need to take our chances and be ruthless up front. Kill the game off early and destroy their will to live. Awo and Ihenacho need to be razor sharp up front.

I am astounded. What on earth is the VAR here for if they cannot even see basic things like that silly dive.

They have 2 players suspended as well plus the 12 who were out with Covid. We need to just take care of business. One game at a time. Each game a final.

I actually never said we will not win. However, the chest pounding in some of the threads is over the top. The Covid issue? That worries me too because while Tunisia today can be any team tomorrow. It can well be the great equalizer in this tournament

VAR would have confirmed it was a foul. I just watched the game on dvr . The player did embelish it afterwards, but it was a foul.

Dem go still chop am. Tunisia has naturally been naija's sidechick from time. And with the way this team is playing with all guns blazing, I doubt Tunisia can withstand it.
