Re: AFCON Quarterfinal matches set
I dont want to meet South Africa. It doesn't bode well for our WC chances. I hope Cape Verde cane them well.

Re: AFCON Quarterfinal matches set
It just hit me that none of the 5 recent world cup participants just over 12 montsh ago made it to the quarter finals
AFCON is something else, loving it
With more places in the world cup, many new teams will get world cup experience and do some damage,
Long may this be so

For my sceptical Nigerian Friends : Pessimism is great because you are either always right or pleasantly surprised.
Re: AFCON Quarterfinal matches set
This tournament na helele. Seeing the remaining teams , you have to be heavily biased not to say Nigeria is a big favorite. I liked it better when we were underdogs, but I also like that Paso is now showing his true colors after playing posom the last 2 yrs.

I don't know what it is with Ohenhen1. Maybe this is his way of coping and expecting the worse in case we lose

I love it!!! It shows that talent is widely distributed across the continent and in many ways. It is something that I have always believed and the idea that they are easily calculated by investigating players in top 5 leagues of Europe is just a myth.

Especially if we beat them here, they will be motivated to get a result against us.

Re: AFCON Quarterfinal matches set
And when they do, we beat them then too to remind them who we are (Hopefully African Champions). It is really as simple as that.vancity eagle wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 7:32 pmMy worry is not about this tournament.

Re: AFCON Quarterfinal matches set
TBH,
If we overcome Angola, the team that I will worry most about is Ivory Coast because I currently have the feeling that they are tracking towards the championship game. Morocco have given them the lifeline and they have taken it. They can only improve especially after eliminating the defending champion -- Senegal.
