341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 16, 2024, 01:39:08 PM

Real Madrid and Girona are the two most productive teams in La Liga so far and both have scored 52 goals in 24 matches. If you look at these statistics, it's only natural that these two teams are very worthy of competing for the title this season and even though Real Madrid is now 5 points ahead of Girona, of course the competition is not over as long as the competition is still going on. I see that all players from all positions on these two teams are equally contributing fully and if one of their strikers experiences a decline in goals then players from other positions can still score goals for the team's victory.

But it is clear that Real Madrid this season is completely dependent on the goals scored by Jude Bellingham and even the young English player is the top scorer so far with 16 goals. Meanwhile, Girona is much more evenly matched with all their players and almost no one stands out except their striker, Dovbyk, who is ranked number 2 top scorer so far. It's very exciting to see the competition between these two teams and I think everything has changed very quickly from the Real Madrid vs Barcelona competition to the Real Madrid vs Girona competition this season.
Indeed, it seems very surprising to see that Girona currently seems to have had a very short increase in performance, in fact it was unexpected that Girona would be able to compete with big clubs like Real Madrid, and Girona was even able to beat Barcelona, which has been fighting for the LaLiga title with Real Madrid for a long time.
I doubt that Girona will last long to be able to have a performance like this because a promoted club like Girona very rarely can perform like this and I doubt that in the next season Girona will not be able to get the same performance as now and there are still a few games left but Barcelona is still trying to catch up with a 5 point gap from Girona and if Xavi is successful in catching up these points will be a big surprise but it is unlikely that Girona will experience consecutive defeats but it is actually possible that Girona will continue to add points to make it difficult for Barcelona to catch up and also try to catch up on points from Real Madrid.

Girona is indeed having a difficult time as it isn't easy to maintain the long run they had before they started losing points and moreover, Real Madrid has also been very determined not to give Girona any chance at all hence as Girona was winning matches, Real Madrid was also winning as well so it was really difficult for Girona and the most weakest was the 4:0 they lost to Real Madrid thereby slimming their chances of the race for the la Liga title but regardless of their recent setbacks i still commend Girona's resilience in making the la Liga table competitive and at least if they don't win the la Liga title, earning a spot in the champions league next season would be a very huge achievement for the club.

You never can tell Girona might still continue in this awesome performance next season because they've already conquered that fear of feeling belittled and has made a great impact since this season so it is expected that they would continue in this spirit just like when Leicester won the premier league and the next season, they still continue to showcase their awesome display so i see no difference in Girona next season.

If you know you ain't on your right state of mind, please don't come to the forum to make any post because this place isn't social media where you feel you can do something and get away with it. I want us to understand that no matter how hard it is, never joke or compromise your reputation as it is what makes others to trust you and see you as someone with reputable characters.
Although it's correct not to allow whatever emotional or psychological problem we are facing in real life to interface with what we are doing on the forum, I find it a bit strange that we're taking things too ideal here to be honest. Like, it's very difficult for you to make any mistake or do any thing that is a bit odd or suspicious without being dragged to the peak and your account being threatened seriously.

I know some bad eggs might have displayed some negative character in the past that has sent a bad signal about our local boards reputation but can we be too perfect as we exist in the forum?

It's good to set out rules and regulations that curbs peoples excesses so the board remains clean and void of scammers but it's also good to do that and not drag some innocent one along with it.


Exactly, no body is too perfect as inasmuch as we're humans we a prone to make mistakes but that doesn't mean we should be brought to book all the time but regardless, since we'll are aware of the perceived hatred and envy from some persons that doesn't want us to thrive in the forum, it is important that we make sure that we're devoid of any character that would endanger our activities here in the forum.

Basically, some people can just stay and feel uncomfortable with another not because you have wronged them or taken what belongs to them but just simply because they don't want your success and in a situation where you don't have anyone to stand for you during thick and thin everything seems to become more complex that's why we should be very careful in any environment where your kind doesn't dominate much. With that being said, being in one's right state of mind is very important to every individual because people judge things from different perspectives without caring to understand your own part of a story.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

Gambling for fun as most gamblers are being advised is just so that in a case of losses the gambler wouldn't feel the impact because he already had it in mind that he may win or he may not win thereby he is willing to accept whatever outcome that surfaces but in a normal sense, almost every one hope to win in their quest to have fun while gambling because only then can the fun be completed because winning is now involved and moreover, regardless of the fact that we ought to gamble for fun, no one would completely be happy that they are playing gambling and incurring too many losses that's just the gospel truth.

When one incurs too many losses in gambling i don't think there is any fun in it anymore.

Osimhen considered favourite to replace outgoing Mbappe at PSG

https://www.pulsesports.ng/football/story/osimhen-considered-favourite-to-replace-outgoing-mbappe-at-psg-2024021520383380081

Victor Osimhen have made a lot of impact in football more especially for his club side Napoli as he has scored lots of goals and helped his team win the serie A title last season and just recently, the Nigerian international striker also made some awesome performance for his country at the just concluded AFCON competition where his country came second after they lost to Ivory Coast in the finals of the competition by 2:1.

It is believed that in recent time, the Napoli striker have shown good qualities and professionalism in his play pattern hence has been tipped among the best players in the world but however, with the news of Kylian Mbappe departure from PSG by the end of the season being crystal clear now, can the Napoleon striker, Victor Osimhen match up the quality of Kylian Mbappe in PSG because Kylian Mbappe has also been known for his world class performance and he has made huge impact for PSG during his stay at the club and it is obvious that his departure would create a huge vacuum for PSG hence they need a player that can stand as his replacement

Can Victor Osimhen be the preferable favourite to replace the French international professional footballer?
345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 15, 2024, 05:51:13 PM
Bayern Munich two consecutive defeats in two different events have left Tuchel with a bad record. It is hoped that his arrival will bring Bayern even better achievements than Julian Nagelsmann, but so far Bayern losing record in the Tuchel era is worse than in the Nagelsmann era. The results that have just been achieved in the UCL have put Tuchel's abilities in doubt because he is deemed unable to bring Bayern to its best level.

This result proves that Nagelsmann Bayern era was better than Tuchel era. Bayern lost 10 times from 84 matches under Nagelsmann guidance, Meanwhile under Tuchel control, Bayern Munich has lost 10 times in 43 matches. It will be difficult for Bayern to defend the Bundesliga title if they still have difficulty scoring goals. In the last two matches, Bayern always controlled the game, but not a single goal was scored.

Bayern Munich had a rough time in both the domestic league and now Champions League defeat within just four days.
Under Tuchel, Bayern's performance has been disappointing. He might be sacked by the end of the season if he doesn't win the Champions League or the Bundesliga title.
Watching Bayern tonight was disappointing. They seemed to lack passion and were quite sluggish on the field.
Tuchel's Bayern is disappointing me lately. There's promise, but the passion and desire arent there on the field. A lot of thinking about Tuchel's career shows that he excels in uplifting lesser clubs. How about his time with Mainz or Chelsea's UCL win? Manage a powerhouse like Bayern seems to be difficult for him. He excels in transforming underdogs, not leading dominant teams. His situation is difficult, and I wouldnt be surprised if Bayern changes things if things dont improve soon.

One thing you need to understand is that it's not really easy for this big teams to maintain straight winning streaks as they also find it difficult to win some matches regardless of if they are facing a lesser club so Bayern Munich recent flops was really expected but despite losing to Leipzig, I still believe that Bayern Munich is gonna retaliate this loss when they meet Lazio in their returning match so their is no cause for trying to put blames and pressure on the Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel who have been doing so great for the club before the recent developments of the club, he just became Bayern Munich coach last year so he has a lot of time to prove to the club that he can handle the managerial role perfectly well.

Hey Gamblers
So I am thinking of this.  What is the most challenges faced by gamblers on online casino platforms? Below are some key issues I've noted:
  • delayed payment
  • withdrawal rejection
  • can't access the casino site
  • delayed response on request to withdrawal winnings
  • deposit not credited to the customer's account
  • ambiguous withdrawal conditions
  • winnings disappeared from the customer's account
  • delayed account verification
  • account closed without explanation
  • account hacked

Let's talk about this and share mutual experiences and how we sorted it out

For me I faced some challenges while playing gamble online and some of those challenges are:
*Taking too long for the betting site to decide a voided match, that is a match that was postponed, so the other events has already played as predicted but it took days before that particular event that was postponed got decided by the betting site and it was really very frustrating because they have already indicated that the match has been voided just to decide so that my ticket can be verified as a won bet, it took them about 2 to 3 days.
*Requesting for withdrawal and it also took them about five days before the amount was sent to my banking account.
*Funding my bet account but it wasn't credited till date I made lots of reports to the betting site but they never gave me any concrete response, that's how I lost that money till date and after that day I never continued with that betting site again.

The only surprise result in this week's Champions League matches was Lazio's home defeat to Bayern Munich.It was not difficult to predict the outcome of the other matches, but Leipzig could have at least drawn with Real Madrid, but Real Madrid was focused on the match as they really want to go all the way this season and succeed in every competition. The winners will most probably be Real Madrid, City, PSG and Bayern Munich.Although Bayern Munich lost 1-0 away, I think they will be the ones to win 3-0 at home.There are some good matches in the next week and I can't wait to watch them.

Lazio winning Bayern Munich may seem like a surprise to many but to me I saw it coming because despite the fact that Bayern Munich is a big name in football history, but for them to lose against Bayern Leverkusen regardless of the fact they are topping the league table means that Bayern Munich have started losing their strength and even if they were to lose that match it would have been by a goal difference but they lost 3:0 so that losing to Bayern Leverkusen really killed Bayern Munich's winning spence hence they went into the Champions league without any concrete arrangement on how to win Lazio so to me i knew Bayern Munich would lose that match.

Tipping the winners of champions league now might not really be achievable unless after this knockout stages because some of the clubs you listed above may not actually make it to the next round.
348  Economy / Reputation / Re: Since Richbased locked his thread.... on: February 15, 2024, 10:40:43 AM
I was even going to do the same thing of opening a new thread regarding the Richbased - Agbamoni case. Thanks for doing so.

There are patterns of merit abuse going on between the accounts, and they are probably not just two.

I asked Agbamoni to tell us about the Dailyscript account, but then Richbased rushes to lock the thread even when his alleged "impersonation" issue has not been resolved. Is he scared that he is now getting unwanted attention and more merit abusing alts are getting discovered?

Scared of what exactly? It was JollyGood that told me that since I don't care about what anyone thinks while trying to vindicate myself on the issue that I should lock the thread or didn't you read the last post of the thread? Okay if you wish that I should reopen the thread it's fine I would do that rather than telling me if am scared of getting unwanted attention like how do you mean? if you guys want me to reopen the thread i would do that then you will tell me if you haven't merited a profile that merited your posts as well in your merit history

These two accounts come from the same country (Nigeria), perhaps members from Nigeria can do further research regarding the discussion patterns or posting patterns of these two accounts.

Exactly, you have a point here.
Yeah, It's possible that these two accounts are not connected. If the two are connected, maybe you don't dare to create a thread on reputation because it will make other members look at your account more deeply, but you dare to do it

A clear conscience fears no accusations as all my intentions was to make it clear that the both accounts ain't interrelated in any way because people judge things differently of which they're already doing it so it is better that I raised alarm earlier than maybe others finds out by themselves and conclude that it's a joint account of which they are doing that already but just like I said earlier in the thread I created that I created the thread in other to vindicate myself so it is nothing more

Now that you have stated you do not care how anyone feels about this, my suggestion is to lock the thread.

You may see me as stupid for bringing up this issue here but what if it was someone else that comes across it and decided to report the unusual behavior, wouldn't it still affect me in the process? Sometimes doing what seems right is wrong but however, I can't be quiet and jeopardize my reputation here, it's just so unfortunate how some persons jump into conclusions without finding out the nitty-gritty of a report before jumping into conclusions but all the same I've vindicated myself and and don't fucking care about how anyone feels about this.

Thanks for your suggestion @JollyGood your kind are rare my only problem is why my account got tagged when I'm trying to vindicate my reputation on something I see as unusual, it hurts so much but however, I take your suggestion.

If I do know the user then what would I gain reporting this here?
Did you start this thread before or after you got a neutral tag for supposedly being an alt account of @Agbamoni? In my opinion, if this was a mistake, you didn’t have to create a thread on reputation about it. You could have handled it on that thread. Right now there is no solid evidence linking the two accounts, that’s why you have a neutral and not a negative tag.

I created the thread before I got the neutral tag and my reasons for coming to the reputation board is to vindicate myself as some users may see it differently when they come across it in thethread if I had made this report on the same thread and of which they're seeing it differently just as my fears, I'm not an alt of that account and the user of that account (agbamoni) has apologize to me in my pm after he saw my complaint here.
All I can see here is that,  you created this mess yourself so slap yourself for this whole crisis,  this topic is needless,  it I sign of show of nothing resulting to something negative and now you crying.

You could have just let it be and move on if the address was used by mistake, which anyone can commit similar mistakes now or in the future.

353  Economy / Reputation / Re: Impersonation of my wallet address. on: February 14, 2024, 07:05:00 PM
I have some sort of questions for you concerning this.

1. Do you ever for once have anything to do together with the user, agbamoni?
2. Have you tried to contact him on such to know maybe it was a mistake or intentional?


The only thing i have in common with this user is that we're from same local board of which sometimes I come across some of his posts that deserve merit and I merit them if I have sendable merit.

He has contacted me via pm and he said it wasn't intentional as he was trying to use same pattern of application as mine before he mistakenly copied my wallet address, and that he never knew until shasan told him to re-sign a message through the new wallet address, it was then he observed that he had wrongly copied my address.

Here is the screenshot of the personal message sent to me by agbamoni.



So, let me get this straight: both users registered a month apart, both use the same local board, both are in a gambling signature campaign, both have the same posting style, both send each other Merit, both take a loan from the same user with the same centralized currency.... I see a pattern here. It looks like you mistakingly used the wrong wallet address.

Another one of those threads that were meant to justify some stupid move, and ended up revealing a lot more than the OP could ever hope for. It's incredible how people reveal themselves without anyone asking or accusing them of something Roll Eyes

Does it mean if I see a post that dents my reputation I shouldn't raise an alarm?

There is nothing wrong in using alt accounts
The self-Meriting on the other hand is not done.

Does it mean that one shouldn't merit a user who merited you even when they make Meritable posts as well?

It got to my knowledge that a user here, agbamoni who mistakingly used my wallet address to apply for a loan.
Only mistake here was done by you entering wrong wallet address, and now you are trying to act all surprised about this.
There is nothing wrong in using alt accounts, but there is no chance of this happening with address in Lending board.
I would love to hear what story you have to tell us next, maybe you two know each other since you both are from same country. Smiley

Believe me as I don't know this user in real life regardless of the fact that we're from same local board though I have given some of his quality posts my smerit before but I actually don't know who he is and he has sent me a PM now telling me not to take it seriously as it wasn't intentional but he was trying to copy my application pattern when he mistakenly copied my address without noticing, it was when Shasan told him to sign a message that he got to understand that he has used a wrong address.

If I do know the user then what would I gain reporting this here?

So, let me get this straight: both users registered a month apart, both use the same local board, both are in a gambling signature campaign, both have the same posting style, both send each other Merit, both take a loan from the same user with the same centralized currency.... I see a pattern here. It looks like you mistakingly used the wrong wallet address.

Yeah, we are from same local board but I don't know the user both here and real life, he sent me a PM just after he saw my complaint here telling me it was a mistake, so my motive of reporting this here is to vindicate my reputation and as well some persons might feel it's an alt account of which one of the user here @dkbit98 has already drawn his conclusion that it is an alt account but i don't have an alt account in the forum as I want to build a good reputation in the forum.

However, I am very much sure that it's a common mistake because a legendary guy did this same mistake but in different way. He copied my application and forgets to edit and remove my username from his application. So this are common mistakes made my everyone especially when one is stressed out.
The picture below 👇🏼 will show how mistakes are made unknowingly.
I am sorry but I could not agree with you. Would you like to say that if the wallet is someone else then why the user could not understand when I mentioned the wallet and the user told the same wallet? When I requested with anger the user told me s/he had retained his/her old wallet (not his/her wallet). If both wallets are not operated by the same person then the user could say it is a mistake and copied from someone else. It is too simple.

You have a point shasan he ought to have admitted his mistakes rather than insisting that it was his wallet address and may be he never knew until you told him if he was kidding you that was when he realized himself. Please he has already sent me a PM to apologize for his wrong doings please everyone should temper justice with mercy because my motive of bringing this here is not to bring him to book but rather to clear my reputation. Sometimes some users normally do this same thing of trying to copy others pattern of application hence can result to this form of situation.

Chelsea tried let's give them so accolade the EPL is a very tough league, the club you think is small would even suprise you, talk more of Crystal Palace that's been consistent of not being relegated for years now, Chelsea might be bigger than them but they're a  club that could pull a treat to big teams, therefore I think really tried, some of their players might not have performed to fans  expectations but atleast they played a role in securing the victory amd there's still room for improvement.

I agree with you as it isn't really easy for any club in the premier league now as the league tends to be getting more tougher now and considering the fact that Chelsea wasn't in a good form at the beginning of the season and now they're really trying very hard to make a difference, i think they are trying and deserves some accolades just like you said. Winning an average club like crystal palace isn't easy despite the fact that they have been dropping in form recently but however, Palace is one of the team in the premier league that can surprise any big team unexpectedly so Chelsea really did a good job by winning Crystal palace both home and away this season.

Chelsea and Manchester united seems to be giving some surprises recently and I hope they maintain their form this time rather than winning and losing always, they need to be more focused at least to achieve a spot in the Europa competition next season rather than ending the season with no concrete achievement.

It got to my knowledge that a user here, agbamoni who mistakingly used my wallet address to apply for a loan. It is noted that I have already taken a loan with my USDT address of which I have paid part of the loan and I intend to clear the rest within the duration of the loan and i have no intention of taken another loan till the recent loan have been fully repaid as anyone who intend to use my USDT address to borrow any loan did it out of impersonation as i don't have any connection with such user. From my observation I found out that the user after using my address to request for the loan, edited his application and inserted his own address of which he had used to borrow a loan previously.

My intention of creating this thread is to vindicate myself as I'm still new into this forum and I value my reputation and integrity and wouldn't want anything that would dent it in the future hence my reason for "crying out loud".

Fraud as a form of illicit enrichment was, is and will be. There is no escaping it. I am not saying that fraud should not be fought. But, in addition to fighting it at the state level, people need to learn to rely on their own strength in this area. Before using any services, people should learn to analyze information about the services they want to use. Otherwise, such people will lose their money.

You have just stated the real truth about fraud because inasmuch as there are legitimate ones there is definitely also gonna be illegitimate ones no matter how hard we tend to fight frauds and scams the perpetrators would still continue as their are people who just find comfort is defrauding others and feels that they are smarter than their victims.

Frauds have been in existence for a long time and it's very unfortunate that it can't be eradicated totally so it is the duty of every individual to be at alert in case they suspect any fraudulent activities and when one sees something or hear something they are not conversant with they should ask questions and confirm the credibility of whatever thing they are persuaded to do or get involved in because as days goes by that's how scammers and fraudsters are using different techniques just to convince people that what they are talking about or introducing to people are legit. And most people more especially the newbies are always too inquisitive about anything they see on the internet that's why they are mostly the people that falls victims to fraudsters and it is good to verify any source with which an information is gotten from before taking part in what they advertise or tries to bring to ones knowledge.

No matter the level of penalty that would be issued to scammers, it doesn't really make them desist from scamming people so taking more serious actions or not wouldn't change anything, even when warnings are neglected that means no amount of punishment would really affect them at all, so we all should just be extremely careful with any information we see online and not comfortable with.
357  Economy / Economics / Re: Why we should prioritize investment over saving on: February 13, 2024, 08:35:45 PM
Saving our hard earned money have never been a bad idea, but their are certain things we need to consider before thinking of saving, such as inflation.
Inflation is truly the real enemy to every money that is being saved up, because when the time is right like a year time, when it should be used for it purpose, the value wouldn't be as how it actually was when you started saving it, but on the other hand, if we have been investing that money into Bitcoin, land or gold bit by bit, over the course of a year, the value of that your investment would have added additional value compared to our savings that will be eaten up by inflation.
So too me we should think of investing more of our money than saving it, so that  inflation wouldn't eat it up.

I believe that if not for inflation, saving money isn't a bad idea at all because one can actually save up enough money to make investments and most times, owning an investment requires huge amount of money though investments like Bitcoin where one can start with any little amount and use the DCA to accumulate from time to time until the investment is ripe for huge profits is a very good investment almost same with saving money but the only difference is that the value of Bitcoin one has increases as it's price skyrockets so definitely such investment is affordable and it's preferable unlike saving money in the bank that one can easily get access to and the amount one saves would even reduce due to some bank maintenance charges and all that but regardless of inflation, saving is also good if one can be disciplined enough not to tamper with his savings till it is matured for you to use and start up an investment that would stand for a very long time.

Even without Bellingham, I think Madrid will still be a team that is too strong for Leipzig. No matter what possible opportunities Leipzig has, Madrid will still be the favorites.
Madrid will be one of the favorite teams for the final match. Maybe it's too soon to talk about the final, but Madrid will have a chance to qualify for the next round. especially if Leipzig is unable to beat Madrid in the first leg.

Yes, Leipzig are not performing well in the Bundesliga, although they often score goals... Real, on the contrary, shows great results in La Liga and is now in first place in the standings... I think that Leipzig can not win today, but I do not exclude that this match can be a draw...
If assumed we are talking about another club and Leipzig I will say probably win will be difficult for them, but it's real Madrid, with the current performance of real Madrid now even with the absent of Jude Bellingham I still have hope of winning for Madrid, Real Madrid are very good in playing champions league with that I don't have any shocking for them, they are top in Laliga table and they have good record in away matches than home matches like wise for Leipzig too having good record for home game than away game and today Leipzig are the one hosting real Madrid, this match will be tough because both teams are very good.

I don't think Real Madrid will find it easy in this game against RB Leipzig because Jude Bellingham is injured and wouldn't be featured in today's match and we all know the impact he has created in both the la Liga and the champions league so definitely it would be somehow difficult for Real Madrid tonight without the midfielder and the both teams head to head also shows that they've won each other on their two meetings as Real Madrid first won Leipzig by 2:0 on 14th of September 2022, while Leipzig retaliated and won Real Madrid by 3:2 on 25th October 2022 though the current performance of the both clubs shows that Real Madrid is far stronger than RB Leipzig but this is champions league as surprises are expected and moreover, they are playing in the home ground of RB Leipzig so it's gonna be a crucial and tough match but regardless of what the outcome may be, let the better team win.

What will happen when only large institutions can afford to use Bitcoin's blockchain, due to rising fees? Won't this centralize the network if most can only trade bitcoin on centralized exchanges?

Your questions are quite contradictory but however, it's not only large institutions that can afford the use of Bitcoin Blockchain due to high transactions fees because there are also individuals that have high amount of Bitcoins and wouldn't care about the transaction fees inasmuch as the system is decentralized.

Bitcoin was invented to be a decentralized currency so I don't see any reason or whatsoever that would tend to change the decentralized nature of Bitcoin regardless of high transactions fees or congestion in the mempool and moreover, recently we can vividly see that there have been a reduction in the congestion and transactions fees also reduced as well so hopefully with time everything is gonna normalize.

It is obvious that these congestion in mempool and high transactions fees have been a reoccurrence in the crypto industry and afterwards returns back to normalcy so it shouldn't cause a panic in anyway as the system would be restored by it's developers .

Congratulations to Ivory Coast they were far better than Nigeria they controlled the game throughout and they showed they were well prepared for the final, the players were well composed and didn’t give up despite going a goal down. Nigeria on the other hand lacked composure and played like an underdog despite having the lead before half time they couldn’t define their play and I didn’t see any style of play in their game.

I feel they have been lucky all through the competition because their style of play have not been convincing enough as all teams they face easily outplayed them but they usually get lucky to win one way or another. Nigeria lacks midfield and that was their major weakness and it cost them the game because Iwobi was totally careless and was useless throughout the game, Ola Aina was also very poor and allowed Adingra to exploit him and assisted two goals all from his wing.

Ivory Coast deserved to win because they were clearly the better team, they had more goal attempts and created more chances.
Yes Ivory Coast clearly deserved to win. A marvellous cup triumph. There was nothing to be done about the first goal, the ball travelled very well and they fell behind. But after they fell behind, Ivory Coast performed in such a way that in the second half they almost crush a strong team like Nigeria. It was a good match to watch, I really enjoyed it. If it wasn't for the first goal, maybe it could have gone to extra time with a goalless draw, but Ivory Coast played the best game they have played in this cup in the final and deservedly won the cup. Congratulations Ivory Coast.
From the beginning of the game, ivory coast played with a very high spirit. They where so aggressive in their playing pattern, like they came here for victory alone. The Nigerian side where more relaxed, they weren't biting hard, the midfield of Nigeria was porous, it was safe to say the midfield was conquered by the ivorian players.. even when Nigeria scored that first goal, the Ivorians weren't relenting they kept on coming hard on Nigeria both attack and Midfield. With the way they played they were hungry for victory and so they got victory.  The major problem Nigeria had was the midfield, and the three men they played on the midfield were not formidable enough, they would have used another formation maybe 442.

Indeed the Ivorians dominated the game from the onset, I just give kudos to the Nigerian goal keeper Stanley Nwabali as the keeper tried his possible best not to concede too many goals but his defenders and midfielders weren't supportive to him at all as the Ivorians mostly gain access to Nigeria's defensive areas easily and tends to pose a threat to the goal keeper who had been up and doing for his country side. Well the Ivorians won and it is a well deserved victory because they fought so hard for it and indeed their efforts was crowned with glory by winning the AFCON tournament. Regardless of the fact that the super eagles of Nigeria were the first to score but yet the Ivorians never gave up on their fate as they kept a good spirit and high energy like the spirit this guys showed after they conceded to Nigeria in the first half was really awesome as they possesses the ball more often than Nigeria and each time they have the ball, they always destabilizes the Nigeria side.

The AFCON is come and gone and with all sincerity, the Ivorians really did a great job and their winning this AFCON competition was really out of their hardwork and not on a platter of Gold so they're Africa's current champions and every country should be able to accept that fact and move on, maybe do better in the next AFCON competition.
