Official AFCON 2023 Thread (Jan 2024 - Feb 2024)

Ref is blowing some BS

Soft ass calls

Joke


But they won’t defeat us energy picked up after the goal, we know it’s gonna be more of the same second half I want us to play angry and use that but let’s keep our cool.

Ref has definitely been a homer. Expected I guess but its so tricky when its a final.

Naija arent setup for attack that midfield is non existent so we can't seem to keep possession and generate attacks. All about getting the ball forward. Shame really but I don't care as long as we get the win. The individual quality just isn't there.

We need another midfielder to hold the ball. I’d say bring in Yusuf for Chukwueze because man has been MIA. Maybe Aribo but his work rate is poor.

Regardless of the result, we need to scout for 2-3 PROPER ball playing midfielders after this AFCON. I think we have solved our GK issues.

Next will be to get 2 more CBs and we have a solid squad for 2025 AFCON and 2026 WCQ

It’s very much a 5 at the back tonight, Alex is trying but Onyeka been poor, been some very sloppy passing from the back too which has hurt our opportunities at times too Chuk has been a let down as well

I missed the main thread during the Arsenal match, (We really need to get back to Saturday matches EPL!) but Rice was cooking

Grown ass cac acting stupid on the touch line. Risking getting sent off when your team needs you in a final

Amokachi said something on the broadcast that I agree with (though he should have kept to himself). Female refs in the mens just ain’t it.

Any type of heated argument from the coach to the female 4th official will be disciplined harder than if it were a male ref. Facts.

Some good looking women in the crowd

I wonder how much the camera man get paid to find the baddies in the crowd. A thankless job they do, every tournament
