  1. Nigeria advantage in soccer against SA is playing competitive football as u know majority off Nigerian players are more exposed and experienced playing abroad but SA players almost all plays local in SA. SA bafana isnt forcefully moving forward and lacks aggressitivity, pace and wamting to win. Nigeria plays hard and wants to win using running forward and aggressive plays. I think its time SA local football step up in playing fast, aggressive and two touch football. That thung off holding up and show off needs to end. Fast pace football is needed now pass faster move forward faster and double up on The nigerian striker, front left and right. U need SA left and right front to fall back to assist the middle field players as thr middle field players assists the left and right wingers. Usually nigeria beat us we know that but if we do win i can easily say Nigeria is found out how they need to be stopped. I just want SA to improve in the Africa cup games they have the talent but not giving it all playing hard, fast and aggressive to try win a match. Over the past yrs SA players too soft and too slow. If SA can improve they can go far. Our local Football league is competitive but not aggressive enough running from the start to the end. They have been too soft over the few yrs against the big clubs like Ghana, Nigeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Mali etc. Ghanas form is dropping and Nigeria isnt getting better Senegal and Cameroon a little stronger. In SA we too soft too much beer drinking, parties and less working out then we lose focus in soccer thinking we can beat nigeria or Ghana yet we cant. If we win Tmr it will be a miracle or Nigeria messed up big.

  2. She was laughing after his prediction. How patriotic, but dont worry, you will understand why there is a non contestable super in the name Super Eagles. 😆 🤣 😂

  3. The Nigerian team are built as a defensive team and a counter attacking forwards.
    So far in the on going AFCON, the Super Eagles have proved to be the team with the best defense conceiving only 1 goal and the only unbeatable team.
    Their attack team appears to be venomless but super deadly on a counterattack.
    Nigeria has just 2 rivals in AFCON, Ghana and Cameroun. Nigeria will win SA by 2 – 0

  4. One thing I like about SA is how they are always optimistic when they have to play us.. lol, but I like how we always give them premium tears 😂😂

  5. I don't understand why anybody in South Africa would think they are rivals to Nigeria regarding football. Truth is Nigerians do not consider them as rivals at all. We see Bafana Bafana as our whipping boys. Fact is Bafana Bafana has NEVER defeated the Super Eagles in a competitive match

  6. South Africa will make the greatest mistake of coming to attack Nigetia as we shall load them with goals and if they sit back hoping to catch us by counter we shall put pressure upon them till they concede two penalties

  7. .. whether you allow us space or not we have our tactics and it's going to be a new approach…
    The final is going to be Nigeria vs DRC

  8. Modiba left had side scares me a lot he leaves a lot of spaces with Percy Tau not marking….. coach need to motivate zwane, and percy to start playing the ball and murena to keep making those runs and stop passing balls to the back if that happens we will beat Nigeria there's nothing there

  9. He analyzed the South African team well, but not sure he knows what he is talking about on the Nigerian team. It will be a joke for South Africa to think Nigeria is a rival not to talk more of an underdog. Far from the reality. Nigeria is an experienced footballing nation proven at tournaments of all levels. The work is all South Africa's to do based on the performances so far in this Afcon. The SuperEagles are compact and will attack fiercely at every opportunity. There might even be no Osimhen or Lookman. Maybe our opponents will appreciate better the depth of the Super Eagles. Everyone keeps talking about our defense, in the next thousand years Nigeria will remain an attacking side. They only got more cautious defensively as that has been the bane of their recent problems.

    The Nigerian forward liners on the bench are equally as deadly. Iheanacho and Terem Moffin are even yet to play. Peseiro can play a totally different forward line and still cause SA problems. It is going to be an interesting game with Nigeria as the favorite.

  10. South Africa know is a giant team and have great player known in the world but if south Africa loose retain their honour and integrity but if win it will blow to the top dog. Bafana Bafana have nothing to loose but to Nigeria it will be embarrassment and shame before unknown sundowns team.

  11. if South Africa are going to play free flowing football and come out against Nigeria it will just fall right into our hands with the strategy we got going. seat back hit them on a counter score a goal and wait it out

  12. Nigeria have not been scoring goals in this tournament but if South Africa becomes over confident and attack Nigeria at will , rest assured that Nigeria will record the highest goals in this tournament with South Africa !!…we will beat South Africa wotowoto!!
