[Roberto Firmino]

Nigeria First XI - 3-4-2-1

Nwabili

Bassey
Ekong
Ajayi

Sanusi
Iwobi
Onyeka
Aina

Lookman
Simon
Osimhen

I’d have preferred dropping Simon for Yusuf or Onyedika. Also, Bassey as LWB instead of Sanusi, but this is the formation we used to beat Cameroon so no yawa.
Let’s go Super Eagles

Yea I’d have Yusuf in for Simon and shift Alex up to the front 3 ideally but he’s not played since the first match and is just back so I’m not mad at it and think it’s probably the correct decision, I been banging the Onyedika drum forever but I think it’s clear Jose don’t rate him for some reason


Zaidu on the other hand I’m gonna have to disagree

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

The start of Quarter-Final match-ups.

Nigeria v Angola

Will The Super Eagles grab the victory with their talons? Or can the Palancas Negras (Black Sable antelopes) take the win by the horns?

DR Congo v Guinea

Will The Leopards' hunt be successful? Or will the Syli National (National Elephants) be up to 'tusk'?

Is Angola any good?
They (and Togo) randomly qualified for the WC a couple of years ago but never did shyt otherwise

2006 WC, qualified over Nigeria. That WC annoyed me. Togo and Angola had. O business being there

Man doesn’t give much going forward.
