In all of this, I just want to say that Calvin Bassey is one of the best defenders I’ve ever seen in a Super Eagles shirt. Easily top 3.
He sits with all the best we’ve had in my lifetime.
Colossus.
This is one thing that needs to leave AFCON: This foolish need to favor the host country in the latter stages of the competition. It’s a disgraceful backward standard that aims to appease stupid crowds and we’ve all come to expect it.
It’s shameful and needs to go in 2026!
Nigeria missing out on the World Cup with the amount of quality they have is simply inexcusable.
I don’t know enough about the ins and outs to know what the problem is, but it’s a huge shame.
Never going to sit here and accept a Clasico loss, but the longer that game went on, the more obvious the injuries became.
Ferran and Lamine, clearly still not fully fit. No Raphinha, Lewandowksi or Olmo. Nothing on the bench. And the players looked completely out of it.
This is nowhere near our best. We have to be MUCH better, but the circumstances are dire.
