The Digest:
Nigerian football legend Segun Odegbami has launched a bold psychological attack on Morocco ahead of Wednesday’s AFCON semifinal, claiming the Atlas Lions “must now be pissing in their pants” fearing the Super Eagles. In the storm of continental rivalry, words often become the first shot.
Key Points :
- Segun Odegbami, 1980 AFCON winner, declared that Morocco is afraid of Nigeria after their 2–0 win over Algeria.
- Nigeria’s victory over Algeria is seen as their most complete performance of the tournament.
- Victor Osimhen scored and assisted in the match, bringing him closer to Rashidi Yekini’s scoring record.
- Morocco remains unbeaten, including a quarterfinal win over Cameroon.
- Odegbami acknowledged Morocco will have strong home support but backed Nigeria to “soar over the Atlas Mountains.”
- The teams previously met in Rabat in 1983, with Nigeria winning on penalties.
- A win would also edge Alex Iwobi closer to 100 caps for Nigeria.
