African Football Discussion Thread Current Topic: 👉 AFCON 2025/2026

Algeria is really funny to have file a complaint about the match between them and Nigeria. When I saw this on vanguard news I was like , are this people really serious. They barely have a shot on target and yet they are complaining about the referee being impartial. I think Algeria is just looking for means to come up with unnecessary excuses for there failure. The super eagles deserve the victory and there was no form of partiality in that match.

Their football federation is just acting like a bunch of soar losers, they were completely outplayed,  outclassed and overwhelmingly dominated by the super eagles. Algeria felt a bit entitled, I think they underestimated our players and thought it was business as usual for them! Probably due to the past meetings and they were shocked by our performance in this tournament.

They really do underestimate the super Eagles Players, before even the start of the match, to me the 2 to 0 lead from the Nigeria side was not enough, as this was something that they didn't expect. Nigeria outplayed them in all areas. What really caught my attention was the fact that Mahrez was unable to perform his magic on the pitch, because of how he was covered. No space was given to the Algerian side.

Africa and the easiest way to gain victory, this is no way to progress into the finals of the AFCON and to win the trophy. If Africans continue to use this same method I don't think the outside World would see us as a continent that can get the job done without Voodoo and this was the same thing the Super Eagles head coach was talking about when we played Dr, Congo, this is a disgrace to Africa football.

This is indeed funny and I like it. They’ve just being hustled because they think they could cheat in sports. I don’t want to believe the story but, how could a team be this naive or a people to ever conceive the idea that, they could ever win a tournament because it was promised to them by some spiritualist. It’s the 21st century and people have to wake up from this into the reality of the day.

I am not surprised this is what most African fans or football believe in that one can actually attain success in things like this if they involve anything divine, we see Egyptians coming with the Quran to pray, some European countries or other continents too also praying to their maker, so Mali can also worship what they might been thinking would work for them but the o my problem is paying them.

For me I think it’s ridiculous reading stuffs like this in this century, it’s a laughable and national shame if this is actually true because this money might play a great role in helping the players prepare if it was channel there

I don't think the Algerian side underestimated the Super Eagles because it will insulting of them to have done so because I practically see no reason why they would underrate our capacity when all the times we have met with them, we've beat them more than they have done to us, coupled with the kind of performance pulled through but the Super Eagle guys lately, no team even Egypt and Morocco can take us for granted. All I know was the Super Eagle guys were more powerful than them and it was exhibited during their fixtures on the day of the game.

They arrested the eye of the gods? haha. Maybe it will serve a lesson to them and to others who continue to sway and deceive with fake prophesies and messages claiming it is from God. We should move our minds away and to the games, I am having the feeling that Senegal will defeat Egypt and be the team in the finals against the Super Eagles after we beat Morrocco.

I look forward to that game, and also to the end of this competition expect Nigeira to win it and Osimhen to be highest goals scorer.

Foolishness of the highest order, if actually it is real as the media carries. Also, why let such information come on air, it should be something to be covered, because it is supposed to be a punishable offense as well. Aside from proudly being a Nigerian with the kind of players we have, I really don't rate few other countries in the aspect of entertaining football in Africa.

With such mentality, they won't progress in the World Cup if at they qualified, checked and they didn't qualify, Voodoo failed as well.

Algeria tried to judge the super eagles performance based on previous AFCONs but to their greatest surprise they played a team way bigger than their very expectations. Algeria's performance was too bad that Nwabali rested all through the game. I won't want to underestimate Morocco because as far a team can make it to the semi finals they have equal chance to win the AFCON so I will prefer the Eagles takes on their hills to ensure the do justice to the remaining stages of the tournament so they avoid being taken unaware.
