[Damunk]

Troost-Ekong took his tally to four goals at the Afriica Cup of Nations and equaled the legendary Stephen Keshi as the topscoring Nigeria defender in the competition.

King EKong was a boss today.

I wish he lifts the cup for all his efforts.

A true leader

Absolutely.
I HAVE NO SHAME EATING HUMBLE PIE TODAY, because I wrote him off.
I was wrong.

[Coach]

1 more miss. Please. Oh lawd, 50/1. Come on!!!!!

Accumulators are tough.

I have Nigeria in futures to win the whole thing.

1 miss away from 5 grand.

King EKong take a bow

You're a true leader

A real Super Eagle. His penalty kicks were just perfect. The first one today was that of someone who had done his homework on Williams who always jumps. Second was unstoppable, a perfect kick. Then there's the one he took for the team, that yellow card. One more win and he's cemented his place as a SE legend.

Meanwhile, Yusuf should thank the lord almighty we won this game because the kind of abuse he would have received no go get mate. See how he was ball watching and completely lost Percy Tau here.

Hope the clown wastes a fortune to buy season tickets for the next 10 seasons.

Nwabili won't be there much longer.

My people, tell me, why is Nwabali playing in South Africa? Is he not good enough for Europe? He has really impressed me. But what do I know about footie? Can the exparts here explanate to me why he is still in SA?

African ‘keepers in Africa hardly get a look-in in Europe and therefore have to be exceptional.
Keepers are two-a-penny in Europe competing for a highly specialised 1-in-11 position.

Nwabali says he’s “happy” in SA, but rumours are that some European scouts are looking at him.

Chai.
This was an ordeal!!!

I pray for the safety of all Nigerians in SA right now.

My brother, I join you and kneel in prayer for their safety too.

So far so good, the trick is to let them know we "Eagles" were lucky to win and SA played better...who want's to die in another man's land?

That was my moment of the match. I clapped.

I read somewhere (Dosu Joseph brother's page) that a Belgian club is in for him for 2m euro.

So happy for Coach P.
Some people are only happy when they are negative and shouting
out invectives. It’s amazing how bold and loud people are when their
actions are without consequences.
Thank God the boys hung in there and overcame some shocking decisions
to make the finals.
Couldn’t be prouder of a great group of lads and coach.
Well done Coach P.
Go bring home the cup.

Brilliant Eagles, thanks for the victory. I could not watch the match as I was involved in a trial. Every now and then I checked the score, it was 0-0. When I checked ball possession, SA had more possession and I began to panic. And then I saw 4:2 online. I breathed easier. If only one knows how I am feeling right now. So happy. I cannot suffer the heartache of losing to SA. They killed someone very dear to me who went to SA during the 2010 World Cup held in that country. He had a contract to work there. He was not an ordinary person. He was killed in that country due to Xenophobia. I cannot forget and forgive SA ever for the killing. So this Eagles victory is dedicated to his memory. Eagles were determined not to lose to this side. Williams is supposed to be a world class penalty stopper, a master stonewaller. Well, he met a man who out-stonewalled the very master stonewaller in Nwabali.
Whatever he did, Nwabali could do one better. Apart from Aina shooting over the bar, he could not stop any Eagles penalty. Let that one sink in. When next time SA meets the Eagles, let them be afraid, let them be very very afraid.

I didnt expect Nigeria to reach the finals. Not the best Nigerian side I have seen offensively but probably the best defensively. It is going to be difficult fjnal. The players got to be ready for a fight

[donadoni]

Is it time to find a formation where Vic can work side by side with a second striker and we can be more offensive?

Oh shut up. Make we hear word.
You talk such nonsense with supreme confidence.
Shame don suppose catch you since.

Just let him keep talking and embarrassing himself.
He has no shame. Matter of fact he’s part of the reason why certain folks never progress.
He’s very resilient in his dogged opposition to sound reason and common sense.
The world according to Ohenhen is a very strange place indeed
