Many people said that the Nigerian goalkeeper had not been tested enough in the competition because of the very good defense that in Nigerian team have. South Africans had their shot today, tested him and Nwabali proved that he did not get his position in the Nigerian tea by chance and mistake, but due to his recognized talent. The South Africans played really well, they deserve to win bronze in this competition, their tactics almost worked against the Super Eagles.
If Nigeria can get to the finals as we have, I believe we will win it too, and not Ivory Coast or Dr Congo will be able to stop us!
It appears that Super Eagles will play against Ivory Coast in the final match unless a surprise occurring in their currently played game. Ivory Coast are leading with 1 goal with 10 minutes left in the match. Nigeria made a mistake letting South Africa getting the draw and they were lucky they didn't waste them. This shouldn't occur in the final game because it will be very annoying to lose the Cup just because of penalties after all the efforts made by them. |

Copa del Rey first leg of the second Semifinal game is currently being played between Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid.
The first match ended with a draw between Mallorca and Real Sociedad. In this match Bilbao are leading with 1 goal in the first half thanks to a penalty. I find that Atletico Madrid could return in the game in the second half if they focus more and try to create real opportunities, otherwise Bilbao will be able to kick them just like Barcelona!

Chelsea's current performance will actually be able to add another goal in the second half. Palmer still hasn't listed his name on the scoreboard. Nkunku. Sterling is still seen on the bench.
Something the opposite of what you said.
Chelsea unexpectedly are leading with 3 goals to 0 against Aston Villa in Villa Park itself which is quite impressive! Aston Villa used to perform better in English Premier League while Chelsea were struggling. Besides, Aston Villa didn't make a threat to Chelsea goalie at the time that Chelsea are trying to score any available attempt. With only 20 minutes left in the game, I doubt Aston Villa could score more than a goal here.. |

However, I am really doubtful about chance of AS Roma against Inter Milan. Even with Mourinho and his priority on defense, they did not have good results against Inter Milan. With De Rossi, who is keen on ball possession and attacking, Roma will give Inter Milan more chances to exploit their defense and can face with a loss, even big loss.
I am pretty sure Roma will lose this game but I don't think the goals difference between the two will be big. Maybe 2 goals difference at best if Roma let Inter Milan exploit their defence line as they want. I think De Rossi priority in this game will be to keep the defence line strong and count on counter attack in order to get a draw or in the worst scenario lose by a goal. There won't be many critics to lose in front of Inter Milan but certainly not with a humiliating result! |

Jordan will enter the final after South Korea failed to gain a 2-0 lead in the semi-finals. What can I say after many favorite teams failed? South Korea, which is predicted to be the finalist team in the 2023 Asian Cup, was left helpless by Jordan after Japan was eliminated in the quarter-finals.
Jordan has confirmed that they are the finalist team and they should celebrate their victory by making it to the final round as history because from the start they were not the top team in the Asian Cup. Waiting to see who will qualify between Iran and Qatar.
Jordan made kind of historical victory against South Korea moving to play in the final match. South Korea didn't make many attempts, didn't score any goal from the few opportunities they got and to make things even worse no direct hit in the goalie. In the other match that will play tomorrow, Iran odds are better than Qatar, 1.74 vs 5.6 and I wonder know if Qatar could beat Iran to get a Jordanian against Qatari finalists! |

Tomorrow the Super Eagles will clash horns with the Bafana Bafana side which I some how think will be a very difficult game for the Eagles because the Bafana Bafana side have about 9 players in their starting eleven (11) who are playing in one club all home base players.
This is something Nigeria is suppose to be worried about because these guys really know how each and every one of them move on the field of play and for our Eagles is something different all together, is this something we have to worry about?
To me we have been doing perfectly fine with these players we have but this only have to prove that our league is not up to standard so NPFL or whosoever is in charge should try and build the league to be like the S/A league or even better.
Nigeria @1.68 vs South Africa @6.2. Nigeria is a good team and expected to win but South Africa isn't an easy team at all. I don't understand this high odds and I think both teams will play extra time unless one of them committed unforgivable mistakes. Nigeria should avoid trying their luck with penalties because things might end up being very random. Ivory Coast @2.26 vs DRC @3.7 These odds are quite logical since Ivory Coast are better and playing home. |

Lyon totally dominated the game and it was the major problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible. Lyon's mentality has been boosting a lot caused by the club was winning the game. It looks so crazy to see how lyon was securing three points from marseille which is placing above it.
I don't know what's going on with Marseille which is supposed to be the second best team in Ligue 1 and they are struggling in the 8th position, far from European competitions spots. Lyon played well but this wouldn't explain the defeat of Marseille. They have 3 draws before that defeat and they failed to stop this negative pattern. Lyon will have tomorrow a game against Lille in French Cup, we will see if they woke up for real or just profited from the bad form of Marseille. |

As roma continues its good form in the hands of new coach daniel de rossi. against calgiari until now minute 72 As roma has won 4-0. with 2 goals between scored by paolo dyabala. although not yet against a strong team AS roma's consistency must make fans and club management very happy and satisfied with de rosi's performance.
Mourinho must be furious when he saw Roma dominance in this game and the result of four goals to zero but also the successive victories. I assume Inter Milan match this weekend will make him a little bit relieved unless a surprise occurring in that game  Cagliari were hopeless in this match and they didn't make a real threat to Roma goalie. Roma are fifth now but they played one match more than teams under them so their position is still fragile. |

Manchester Cit will be happy to win this match because if they drop points, Arsenal will have less pressure and Manchester City is also willing to top the league; now if they win todays match, Manchester City will have the same points with Arsenal and just two points behind Liverpool.
Manchester City are leading with 3 goals to 1 thanks to Foden hattrick. Brentford scored an early goal before being punished badly by Manchester City and there is still like 20 minutes to play so more goals might be coming. This game is being controlled and dominated by Manchester City which should profit from Liverpool defeat to reduce the gap until they play the other lacking game they have. So far they are tied to Arsenal with 39 points and behind Liverpool by two points. |

It’s a bad season considering every injury plights facing the Real Madrid team; but yet they tried their best to secure a 1-1 draw to a late depay equalizer and also got 2 points lead at the top of the league standings
With mbappe coming soon, real just need to get Centre backs with good injury history ahead of the new season
Injuries are part of Real Madrid history so nothing new for them unfortunately.. Getting a Dr against a team as annoying as Atlético Madrid is not a bad outcome after all. Real Madrid were lucky to see Girona getting a draw too yesterday vs Real Sociedad which wasn't an easy game too. Barcelona profited the most from the 2 points drop of their direct rivals to reduce the number of points between them to 6 points for Girona and 8 points from Real Madrid. |

FA Cup replay matches of the fourth round will resume in two days and Coventry City, Leeds United, Nottingham Forest are expected to win.
Southampton are superior than Watford but who knows what could happen in this game in particular.
Now for Aston Villa and Chelsea, the situation is quite complicated. Chelsea used to be better in the past but their results this season are quite disappointing. In the other hand, Aston Villa are doing better in English Premier League that's why they have better odds than Chelsea in my opinion.

South Africa is not an easy opponent and considering they have some sort of beef on social media amongst their fans they will want to make it difficult for themselves. At this level AFCON has now become more intense and interesting and so no team will want to lose at this stage. Nigeria can win it if they actually work hard and become more serious than how they played against Angola because Angola has been their toughest opponent so far in the competition.
Nigeria has the potential of winning next tomorrow's game against South Africa, but only if they could play a more calculative game of scoring more goals and not the usual pattern of one goal, which they have always been known for all through the previous AFCON matches, because South Africa are known to have history of multiple goal scoring and likely to take chances if our "Super Eagles" give any, hence, it will be a more pleasure if our Super Eagles could keep fly as always to win this match and the trophy, as we are all eager to see what the outcome of this match will finally end up to be. Nigeria odds are 1.7 while South Africa odds to win are very low at 6.2. I don't understand why the difference is so big and whether bookies are underestimating South Africa. I think this match is harder than facing Ivory Coast or DR Congo in the final match. If Nigeria could pass South Africa then indeed they will lift the trophy most likely. In the other match, I think lucky Ivory Coast will pass and they will play the final game in their home. |

Chelsea has carried their free fall to this week again. I don't see any seriousness in this Chelsea team. This has to stop, you can't be losing in front of your fans almost every week. Losing 2:4 to a struggling wolves side is unacceptable. Pochettino looks like a man who has ran out of ideas. The early Chelsea relief him of his duties the better for them.
Chelsea will continue throwing coaches, signing new ones then throwing them again? Does all coaches were bad after all? I think the whole team is dysfunctional and need to be fixed from scratch. All what remains from Chelsea is the name of the team, otherwise its performance is as ordinary as any other mid-table team. Arsenal 2 - 1 Liverpool. I wonder if Liverpool could get a point at least in this match since a defeat could allow Manchester City to claim back the first place once they win their 2 lacking games. |

I agree , to beat Leipzig at home it needs a few good things on your side and for sure some luck.
At the moment it dosnt look very good for Union Berlin as they are behind with 2 scored goals from Leipzig.
The statistics also looks very good for Leipzig , if no surprise will be happen it should be 3 points for the Home team.
Union Berlin are lucky to be outside of the relegation zone and that's the best thing they could achieve this season. Being beaten by Leipzig is a normal result for them since Leipzig is a way better team than them. In this round, Borussia Dortmund lost two points against Heidenheim which is unfortunate for this team since they made the gap between them and Bayern Munich go up to 13 points in addition to letting Leipzig being near them and threatening their Champions League spot. Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich in the other hand are continuing to dominate the league with as low as two points difference between these two teams. |

In today's match of Strasbourg vs PSG team in French Soccer League, I enjoyed a tough match between two teams. However, if Strasbourg team played well in the first half of the game, it seems that Strasbourg team could have drawn the match. Strasbourg team made many efforts to draw today's match. Couldn't. PSG team won the match by scoring 2 goals in today's match. PSG team played well in the first half of the game but PSG team couldn't score any goals after halftime.
PSG won the game but they were risking to lose points at any time of the game. The draw against Brest might boost them to get these three points, otherwise Strasbourg would surprise them too. Montpellier failed also to win against Rennes even though they made some attempts to score. Same scenario in the two games thought. Nice will have a game tomorrow against Brest and is expected to lose at least a point, this will be a good news for PSG to increase the gap between them. |

Tomorrow there will be an interesting match between Inter Milan vs Juventus, the two teams who are the most serious Scudetto contenders will face each other. Inter Milan is lucky to still have one match postponed, so they will relax in facing the pressure put on them by Juventus. Even though this match is difficult to predict, Inter Milan looks to have a higher chance of winning. Even though Juventus is not playing in European competition, it will still be difficult for them to suppress Inter Milan at the top of the current standings.
Definitely Inter Milan and Juventus game should be the most interesting and awaiting one this round. Inter Milan has the advantage of playing home. In the matches played in the last year, every team won once and they got a draw in two among the four games played in total. Their last match played in Allianz stadium ended with a draw in Novembre. Fiorentina lost yesterday match and AC Milan reversed their result and got 3 points against Frosinone making themselves close to the top two teams but for Fiorentina they risk losing their seventh place.. |

The absence of adequate player support will make it very difficult for Xavi to develop the team because he cannot rotate players as he wants. For the new coach, it will also be quite difficult if Barcelona is still facing financial problems because they will have difficulty bringing in new quality players.
Xavi suffered from Barcelona rigid attitude toward new signing. It is whether they pick a player for free or for low cost or a swap deal or a loan. Of course the salary shouldn't be high too. They are acting like a broken team then they got angry when the coach fail to keep good results. They are lucky to be among the top 4 for long time! Now the new coach will have to find a new strategy to boost the team results or end up being sacked too  |

Man that game was a joke and also the most disrespectful i ever see, i mean with disrespectful to the fact they make a show of announcement of MEssi against CR7 and no one has played the game, yes Messi entered at the 82 minute but it was clearly only to fullified the contrac obligations, a total joke.
It is like Inter Miami were bribed by Al-Nassr so they could have a better results than Al-Hilal... Al-Nassr scored 3 goals in less than 15 minutes then Messi joined the game in the last minutes of the game which makes things even more ridiculous indeed. Back to the league, there is a match between Al-Ittihad and Al-Tai so an opportunity for Al-Ittihad to get three points, then we have a good match between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr so we can see if Al-Hilal could increase the gap to 10 points |

of course, how can madrid be comfortable with girona being at the top of the standings until the middle of this season, but with this win against getafe, madrid is 2 points ahead to 57 points over girona so they are officially at the top now.
madrid is a tough team, girona will find it difficult to return to the top of the standings, girona has little hope of that but being in the runner up position until the end of the season, girona will definitely have it.
Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid all had matches against lower teams and they all had the 3 points.. The goal difference is just 1 to show how competitive these matches are except Real Madrid where they scored two goals to 0 and killed the game literally. Girona should win next game against Real Sociedad and wait for Real Madrid to drop points against Atletico Madrid to claim the first spot eventually. |
