For those of you that are saying that Burundi is a small......let me also remind you that they did play qualification and they were unbeaten throughout the campaign........ Nice one super eagles...I see them winning this tournament

adrenaline02:


Thanks man really appreciate....

you're welcome

Oyindidi:
Abeg who score

Simmy Nwankwo. Fantastic header!

This Mikel capegoating should stop.
The Captain and every other player did a good job today. We didn't play badly. Mikel held his own in the midfield, his only problem was trying to do too much on the ball. He has to correct this and find his runner on time.
Coach Gernot Rohr called him up because of his experience. There's surely no way Naija losses a midfield battle when you have a press absolver in Mikel.
So please let's stop the Mikel bashing and our team.

Correct guy

Boss, let's take it one game at a time.

helinues:
Aina is not extra ordinary to me today..

He should have made so many moves from the left side but he always most of the ball.

Same thought here.

zuto4u:
Ola Aina and Chukwueze were the men of the match

You're absolutely on point..but is it just me or our goalie finds it hard to bend down to hold the ball

1:0 is better than a draw,and three points is better to start a day with.welldone eagles!!!

DBlackCeazer:
Naija just completed my 70k game.

Congrats mehnnn

Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?

You are not serious

'Cause love's such an old fashioned word

omokoginimi:
This Abdulahi and injury tho. Smh

� Interviewer: "Excluding yourself, who are the best players in the world?"

� Messi: "For me the best players in the world are Mbappé, Neymar, Hazard, Suárez and Agüero.

� Interviewer: "Cristiano Ronaldo?"

� Messi: "I exclude Ronaldo alongside myself in this list."

but ororo want to convince us that he ia better than Messi... wch is impossible

And love dares you to care for

omokoginimi:
Lack Moses? Are you watching back of TV?

Vabasi:

Same thought here.

Imagine old Zabaletta having those chances or Daniel Alves

The people on the edge of the night

omokoginimi:
Mikel is a wasted slot. He is our problem

Yo why won't Rohr play Henry. What's the deal there? Is he purposely keeping him out of the team.?

And love (people on streets) dares you to change our way of

omokoginimi:
I cannot deny those things you listed are very essential in life

This is our last dance
This is our last dance

This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

omokoginimi:
He’s finally out #Sighofreleif

Yeah,the coach shouldn't have started mikel, a player who only play Middlesbrough 6 times before the release him, his inclusion in this afcon is a disaster to the team

Mikel played every game since ing Middlesborough in January. He left, he wasn't released. Mikel does more for the players even off the pitch. He is still our best er in midfield and controls the game well. He may not be as fast or mobile as Iwobi is, but he has got a better vision and knows how to hold up play to create a running chance for his team mates. He only lost one ball in the game. Other times, the Burundians needed to foul him first in order to disposes him. He didn't feature so much in the first half, but how well do we play in the first half?
Sometimes, a change is what the game needs not because the guy in there was bad, but because the tactics wasn't working with him inside.

So far, DR Congo vs Uganda is the most entertaining match in this Tournament

Wrong, very wrong. This was the most entertaining.

Blainz:

Akpeyi na -2.5 i.e minus

Please, who is Onuachu? Where does he play?He did not fit into the game from the onset and I am surprised that the couch allowed him to play for almost 70 minutes. Are these really the best team the coach could assemble? This is the worst set of team we have ever had. If they get to quarter final, it's a miracle. Rohr is not a good coach. He does not know how to read games.

Ola Aina played ok today,but the coach is collecting more than 5m monthly and for almost 3 yrs he cant find a good left footed no 3. Aina always comes back to his right foot,he is a 2 not 3. When wing backs go forward they give the attackers outlet and more bodies going forward.

UC0UC:


Wrong, very wrong. This was the most entertaining.

Did you watch the match?

kokan:
Alampasu that is far far better is no where to be found. Nigerian and politics eeeh, even football politics Naa waa

That goalkeeper unsettled our defence. He was just scared to be on the pitch.

Everyone was outstanding except Mikel

you guys are funny sha. You all taking rubbish about the players before, now they are outstanding. The only real problem i observed was our striker.. Paul. It was obvious Mikel wasn't fit in this match but He is still a very good player. He will do better next match.
