Halftime thoughts
#NGAJAM
- Again very solid controlled performance
- Moffi has been poor again, doesn't look good for him at all
- Azeez has been quiet today
- Tijani and Nnadi are incredible players. Our future!!
- Thank you Eric Chelle
#UnityCup
They are clearly not interested in playing for us. Why are people struggling to see this?
Also, Chelle is building a strong team with or without them. We don't need them!
If @thenff somehow manage to get Lesley Ugochukwu, Tim Iroegbunam & Noah Atubolu to pledge their allegiance to Nigeria, @NGSuperEagles could build a formidable team capable of big things. That’s a hard working midfield & match winning keeper right there. #Nigeria#SuperEagles
Half time thoughts
#NGAZIM
- Very good half. Solid and controlled. Deserved lead too
- Oputa's balled out. Looks very good
- Femi Azeez, a new found gem
- Nwaiwu and Ogbu make me so confident at the back
- Otele and Tijani have shown good promise
Keep this up guys!
#UnityCup
- Goalkeepers, perfect
- Defense, Nwaiwu should be in over Ajayi otherwise perfect
- Midfield, Alhassan Yusuf has no business here, not over Akinsanmiro
- Attack, 5 strikers is ridiculous and unnecessary. Femi Azeez/Yohanna should be in here over Owen too.
- Goalkeepers solid, no complaints
- Defense, would have liked to see Samuel Isife but the rest are solid
- Midfield, solid again but David Moses and Moses Usor should be here
- Attack, No complaints. Perfect.
Good squad list for the Unity cup.

- Average performance although the players seem to be growing into it
- No standout performance so far

Full time thoughts
#NGAIRA
- Top performance. Professional win
- Loved the play and control we have on every game
- Fernandez looked very shaky. Nwaiwu on the other hand, solid
- Looking forward to see Yira Sir and Otele against Jordan
UP THE EAGLES!!!
Half time thoughts
#NGAIRA
- Solid so far, happy to be ahead obviously
- Ogbu and Iwobi having wonderful games
- Great to see the wonderful football continue from AFCON
- Only disappointment has been Akor. Maybe bring Onuachu on at halftime
Let's keep this up boys!
Just look at the comment section of this tweet and every tweet Atletico Madrid has made about Lookman. It's outstanding.
Nigerians always support their own.
I went to Atletico Madrid’s page on one of their posts on Instagram, I saw 5,000 comments.
I opened it, na so so Nigerian flag full am 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Atletico Madrid don sign the full Nigeria. Thunder faya Barca and Real Madrid 😂
🚨����⚪️ Ademola Lookman to Atlético Madrid, here we go! The agreement is in place on every detail.
€35m fixed fee, €5m add-ons to Atalanta and long term deal agreed by Lookman after decision last night.
Atlético, planning now for travel and medical next for the Nigerian. 🇳🇬
The World cup playoffs are just weeks away.
You're either about to become the most respected Nigerian journalist on this platform or lose whatever credibility you have.
Time will tell.
In a couple of weeks, the Internet will be flooded with stories like 👇🏾
1. FIFA confirms Disciplinary Measures against DR Congo 🇨🇩 for using Ineligible players against Nigeria 🇳🇬🦅
2. DR Congo 🇨🇩 rejects FIFA verdict, heads to CAS
3. Super Eagles 🇳🇬 🦅 set for World Cup playoff after FIFA ruling on DR Congo 🇨🇩.
4. Super Eagles 🇳🇬 🦅 to face Jamaica 🇯🇲 in World Cup playoff following FIFA verdict on DR Congo 🇨🇩.
5. DR Congo drags FIFA to CAS as they seek justice. etc!!!
Exciting days ahead!!!
I agree with each point 100%. This squad is clearly talented and they showed it at this AFCON.
Also, I might have my reservations about Chelle but we need continuity. He's that for us!
We didn't win the ultimate prize at AFCON 2025 but here are some takeaways;
- Osimhen must be fit for us to achieve big teams
- Lookman's form is very key at international tournaments
- Calvin Bassey needs a consistent partnership
- Ndidi is still very key to our next level
- Nwabali should be no. 1 as long as he wants
- Chukwueze's flare is still needed to unlock teams
- Iwobi's role at this year's AFCON must be maintained
- We need to see Salim Fago in competitive games
- Chelle should decide Fisayo Dele-Basiru's role
- Bruno finally showed huge quality at major tournament
- Healthy competition will be between Bright & Ola Aina.
- NFF should extend Eric Chelle's control for continuity.
ADD YOURS?
Eric Chelle btw, played Akor Adams(a striker) on the wings in a 4-2-3-1, then took him off and played Dele Bashiru(a midfielder) on the wings.
Then brought on an actual winger(Samuel Chukwueze) in the 120th minute to play a penalty 😂.
Bizarre idea.
