Desert Foxes stop the Eagles mid flight


First off, it is important to note that the better side won the game. Again, Super Eagles gave thier best. In every game of football one side must emerge victorious. The side that take their chances will win.
Through out the AFCON 2019, Algeria has been the most impressive side. They have played as a solid unit under the leadership of Manager, Djamel Belmadi and Captain Riyadh Mahrez who is still fresh from winning the EPL with Manchester City.

Joy in Nigeria as Super Eagles beat Bafana Bafana.


The game commenced in a slow pace with each team being cautious. Rohr started a full fire attack line of Ighalo, Musa and Chukwueze. While Ighalo wasn't afforded space by the South African central defence, Musa and Chukwueze ran the flanks like their homes tormenting the South African defence.
It paid off in the 27th minute when a square pass from Iwobi after an exchange with Musa was met by Chukwueze who needed a second tap to take it past Williams for Nigeria's first.

On their table were two carcases of arm length tilapia barbecue and 5 bottles of beer.
Three were empty while the ones with liquid content were in a non deliberate race towards emptiness. At the end, Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored two goals and handed Josè Mourinho's Manchester United the 2016/ 2017 Europa League trophy.

Return of the Baby Faced Assassin



Known as a super sub in the hands of Sir Alex Ferguson, Olé Gunnar Solskjaer needs no introduction.
His last minute winner against Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final is evergreen in the minds of those whose back were either broken or patted by the goal, depending on which side of the divide one is.
