AFCON: Lookman’s brace help Nigeria beat Cameroon
Tumblr media
The Super Eagles of Nigeria were too good for the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon as the former won convincingly in the knockout game at the 2023 African Cup of Nations. Ademola Lookman scored in  both halves of the game, helping Nigeria reach the quarter finals of the tournament taking place in Ivory Coast. Super Eagles who were one goal up after half time faced a scare when goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali got injured after taking a hit from the opposition player, he was replaced by Francis Uzoho afterwards. Lookman’s first goal came when Victor Osihmen won the ball from a Cameroonian defender before setting up the Everton man for his first goal of the competition. His second came after taking a clean hit from a Calvin Bassey cross from the left side and even when the Cameroonian asked some questions along the game, the Super Eagles were always able to provide an answer.

All about Super Eagles List
Nigeria will not compete in the 2022 FIFA World Cup following three consecutive participation in 2010, 2014, and 2018, as they were eliminated in the last qualifying round by Ghana's Black Stars.
Before FIFA's November deadline, 14 countries that qualified for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar have begun unveiling their team lineups.
Which of Nigeria's army of exceptional athletes would have made the team's 26-man super eagles list if the three-time African champion Super Eagles had purchased a plane ticket to Qatar in 2022? Soccernet.ng's Imhons Erons makes the selections.
Former Nigeria striker Jonathan Akpoborie has commended interim Super Eagles coach Austine Eguavoen for selecting the team that will face the Black Stars of Ghana in the 2022 World Cup playoff.
Tumblr media
The goalkeepers are Francis Uzoho (Omonia Nicosia), Maduka Okoye (Watford), and Adebayo Adeleye (Hapoel Jerusalem)
Okoye and Uzoho didn't get much playing time for their clubs in England and Cyprus, respectively, due to a lack of Nigerian goalkeeper alternatives in Europe, but they would still have made the super eagles list.
Adeleye, on the other hand, has made a mark in Israel and deserves his most recent call-ups.
Chidozie Awaziem, Leon Balogun, and Semi Ajayi of West Brom, Kevin Akpoguma of Hoffenheim, William Troost-Ekong of Watford, Kenneth Omeruo of Leganes, Tyronne Ebuehi of Empoli, and Kenneth Omeruo of Leganes are among the defenders (Hajduk Split)
Injuries have sidelined some of Nigeria's top full-backs, including Jamilu Collins, Ola Aina, and Zaidu Sanusi.
Calvin Bassey and Chidozie Awaziem, in addition to Ebuehi and Akpoguma at right-back, would be solid left-back options.
In compared to Olisa Ndah of South Africa and Valentine Ozornwafor of Sochaux, the skills of Balogun, Omeruo, Troost-Ekong, and Ajayi tip the scales in their favour.
Midfielders: Joe Aribo (Southampton), Ahmed Musa (Sivasspor), Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City), Oghenekaro Etebo (Aris FC), Frank Onyeka (Brentford), Raphael Onyedika (Club Brugge), Samuel Chukwueze (Villarreal), Ademola Lookman (Leicester City) (Nottingham Forest).
Nigerian flying forwards Chukwueze and Dennis are two of the best on the right wing on their best days. On the other wing, Moses Simon and Ademola Lookman may torment the opposing fullbacks for the whole of the game.
Victor Osimhen of Napoli, Paul Onuachu of KRC Genk, Terem Moffi of Lorient, and Taiwo Awoniyi of FC Barcelona are all forwards (Nottingham Forest)
It's uncertain how much damage Victor Osimhen would have caused opponents if he had been Nigeria's first-choice attacker at the Qatar World Cup in 2022.
The four wingers can alter positions in-game, providing the manager a range of tactical options. Consider visiting our website to learn more about super eagles list

MY WORLD CUP 2018 MEMORIES PART 3
Tumblr media
Francis Uzoho, Nigeria’s 19 year old goalkeeper
Tumblr media
In the third minute of injury time, Costa Rica’s Bryan Ruiz takes a penalty to equalise - the ball hits the bar, hits Switzerland’s goalkeeper Yann Sommer on the back of the head and goes in. The game is drawn 2-2
WHAT I RECKON:
Post World Cup 2018 sentiment: if a player dives to try and get a penalty he should get a red card. If a player feigns injury to try and get a player sent off he should get a red card. If a goal would have been scored except for a foul occurring, award the goal (an example would be Croatia v Denmark). This can happen: VAR.

England v Belgium: both teams had qualified and it probably suited both teams to lose, and acquire an easier draw in the knockout stages. England made 8 changes and Belgium made 9. Adnan Januzaj (no.18) of Belgium blinked and scored the winner - a fine goal
Tumblr media
Yerry Mina of Colombia scored three goals at Russia 2018, all similar and as a centre-back - trampolining above defenders to power headers down and into the net, a sort of slam dunk header. This goal gave Colombia a 1-0 win over Senegal.
Senegal became the first team in Finals history to be eliminated on the criteria of discipline. Their record in Group H was identical to Japan’s, but Senegal had picked up six yellow cards and Japan four.
The failure of all five African sides to qualify for the last 16 was a surprise (this hadn’t happened since 1982). Senegal and Nigeria went very close to qualifying, Morocco played well in a very tough group, Egypt and Tunisia never came close to the next round.
