Re: African Football Discussion Thread Current Topic: 👉 AFCON's Championship.
It would have been a big shame for the Home based Super Eagles to lose all their three groups games. At least they can be proud that they won a game and also didn't finish at the bottom of Group D.
The match has ended and the scoreline is 2-0. Sadly they will not get $100,000, national award and flats in Abuja like the Super Falcons and D' Tigress.
The whole fun ended when Nigeria lost the two matches, everything was decided just after losing 3 points each with total of 6 points in Group stage of the tournament. Nigeria was down with 0 points but the two countries advancing already had 4 points on record, i least expected any good to come out from todays match against Congo, either winning or losing won't bring back the other points that was missed.The match has ended and the scoreline is 2-0.

Nigeria isn't meant to be fighting not to end in last position, our target has always been finishing and advancing from first position or at our lowest second place, our progress to the next round of the tournament should have been a well deserved entry but we failed.
It's discouraging to always spare out 90 mins of your time to watch a team you called your national team but end up with annoyance over poor performances and lack of coordination. The performance this guy's displayed in this AFCON was below average and it's the reason why they were send parking back home. I saw the players celebrating the two goals and the thing was quite annoying and discomforting when you know they could have done better if they were more organised. I think what is killing most of our squads for long is the recruitment and selection process.
They allow politics and favouritism to enter the process of forming the squad there by causing the lack of strong synergy between the team players. I watched the match and they did well by scoring two goals especially Alimi's goal which was a swift heading which led to the second goal and his first heading which assisted Anas Yusuf in netting the first goal.
