Is this going to happen again?
THIS IS NOT A PROPHECY OOOO, SO DON'T SHOOT ME IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
Have you noticed that our jersey is partially made of our traditional adire? if my memory supports me right (i could be wrong), the last time we wore such a jersey was in Tunisia '94 and we won the cup. is it going to happen again 30 years later?
My heart is saying yes!

Go for it and make a prediction brother. What’s the worst that can happen. For all their bark, these CE noisemakers can’t hurt you.lukemana wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 2:58 pm THIS IS NOT A PROPHECY OOOO, SO DON'T SHOOT ME IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

Re: Is this going to happen again?
More similarities between now and 2013.
1. A much maligned coach under pressure.
2. A slow start in the group stage.
3. Team not playing well prior to tournament.
4. Ahmed Musa was a non factor.
We are winning this guys !!!!!
We will stumble our way to winning afcon.
It is written.

Dang it. You just jinxed it. Why not support COV again. That too was a quality of 2013.vancity eagle wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 4:06 pm More similarities between now and 2013.

Re: Is this going to happen again?
History tends to repeat itself! CIV a french speaking counry won it in Senegal in 1992. Nigeria won it in 1994. Senegal another french speaking country won it 2 years ago. The Super Eagles will win it again this time around. I am feeling it.waka-man wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 4:13 pmDang it. You just jinxed it. Why not support COV again.

Re: Is this going to happen again?
More parallels
1994
Reigning APOY was Yekini (our Top Scorer)
2023
Reigning APOY is Osimhen (our joint Top scorer)

Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

Re: Is this going to happen again?
The captain in 1994 - Keshi - was past it
The captain in 2013 - Yobo - was past it
The captain now - Musa - is past it
1994 end in a 4. 2024 ends in a 4.
Shame about 2013.
Stop it guys. This is not how history repeats itself

In fact in Mikel's podcast, he said NFF were going room to room to ask players which place they wanted their flight booked to after the CIV match the next day

Let me bring a different perspective, from my Cameroonian colleague....Nigeria has never won an AFCON that Cameroon paritcipated

It helps that Nigeria has an easy schedule.
