They Celebrated Like They Have Won The World Cup – Benin Republic Coach Blast Super Eagles Players Over Wild Celebrations

0

Coach of the Squirrels of Benin Republic says the celebrations of the Super Eagles after their 1-0 win over his team was disrespectful as they have almost nothing to play for in the game.

Nigeria already secured passage to the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations before the start of the game but still went ahead to prove their superiority with a late winner scored by Paul Onuachu.

Onuachu pounced on a loose ball to hand Nigeria the win with virtually the last kick of the game in the final minutes of time added on to end an eight years unbeaten run of the Squirrels.

In his post match interview, the coach said the Super Eagles celebrated wildly like the winner has any impact on their spot in next year Africa Cup of Nations.

“ I understand emotions can get the best of you but showing a bit of class means you don’t celebrate so much a meaningless goal like you have won the World Cup”,Michael Dussuyer said.

It’s Fake – Rohr Suspects Foul Play In Iwobi Testing Positive To Coronavirus

0

Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has expressed his reservations over Alex Iwobi testing positive to coronavirus before the Super Eagles 1-0 win over Sierra Leone.

The Everton man was ruled out of the game after tests carried out by the health authorities in Benin Republic returned his case as positive among all the players tested prior to the game.

It led to his omission from the line up but Rohr believed some foul play must have happened and said plans to have another test is underway. This much he said to popular Nigerian journalist Colin Udoh ahead of tomorrow’s game against Lesotho.

However Iwobi has left the camp of the team as a precaution incase the results remain same but if otherwise then he will play some part in tomorrow’s dead rubber game in Lagos.

“Gernot Rohr has told me that although @Everton’s Alex Iwobi tested positive for COVID on arrival in Benin, he believes the result is “fake”.

”A 2nd test has been taken and result due soon. Rohr tells me he’s confident Iwobi will play on Tuesday”, Colin said on Twitter.

Five Changes Rohr Should Make To Super Eagles Lineup Against Lesotho

0

With qualification for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations already sealed two days ago. The senior national team of Nigeria will head into tomorrow’s game against Lesotho with the luxury of having to rest some regular players.

Coach Gernot Rohr’s team maintained their nine match unbeaten run in Africa qualifiers with the 1-0 win over Benin Republic despite securing qualification before the game.

Rohr can now decide to try our some players who didn’t get to play in the game against Benin Republic considering the not too important nature of the game. Here are five changes Rohr should consider making for the game.

Francis Uzoho For Maduka Okoye – Although Okoye consolidated his position as first choice with a clean sheet against Benin Republic. It will be wise for Rohr to make competition for that role stiffer by giving Uzoho another chance to stake a claim for the first choice spot.

Tyronne Ebuehi For Ola Aina – Ebuehi has shown that he is a useful squad player but he need to get some minutes under his belt and also boost his international appearances. Aina should be given a rest for the man who was the fan favourite during the 2018 World Cup.

Anayo Iwuala For Samuel Chukwueze– This looks like one sure change the coach will make with the way Anayo imposed himself during the cameo he had against Benin Republic. Chukwueze should be given a rest for the Enyimba man.

Jamilu Collins For Zaidu Sanusi– Sanusi showed Why he is currently ahead of Collins with a man of the match display against Benin Republic. A chance for Collins to stake a claim to regain his position should be the game against Lesotho.

Chidozie Awaziem For Troost Ekong – Awaziem came for this games in one of his best form ever owing to his performance for Boavista this season. He deserve a chance to show that against Lesotho in his favorite position not as a right back like he did against Benin Republic. Ekong should get a rest.

Bingo slot machine games: What are they?

0

Slot machines are unarguably the most popular form of casino games in the world today. Almost all casino lovers, whether experts or newbies, have once played or heard about the game.

There are numerous types of slots games already known by players around the world. However, when we talk about ‘Bingo Slot Machines’, it may seem a bit strange. This is because it combines two different types of games: Bingos and Slots.

To understand why, or even how Bingo Slot machines exist, we may need to have a brief overview of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA).

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act

This is a Native American gambling act that was signed into law in 1988. It established a framework for Indian gambling in American and also licensed tribes to regulate and conduct gaming. The IGRA created three different classes of gambling for legal purposes. Here are the classes below:

  • Class 1: This is the category for all traditional social and straightforward games which may offer small prizes. The IGRA does not control these games, and they are not found at casinos.
  • Class II: These are games of chance based on bingos or lotteries.
  • Class III: This covers all other games that are not in Class I or II. They include games like real slot machines, roulette, Blackjack, and craps.

Bingo Slot Machines are Class II Slot Machines

Based on the classification of gambling by the IGRA, Bingo Slot Machines can be appropriately described as Class II Slots. In essence, they are a type of slot machine that is based on bingo. They are quite different and not as popular as the real slot machines. The real slot machines are Class III games, according to the IGRA.

While real slots operate independently, Bingo Slot Machines have bingos running in the background.

How Bingo Slot Machines work

One of the easiest ways to know when you’re playing a bingo slot machine is that you’ll find a bingo card somewhere on the screen, usually at the bottom left corner. Some may also use ‘daub’ instead of ‘spin.’

Unlike real slots, you need a minimum of two people to play the game. Once you click on ‘Spin,’ the screen takes you into a proper bingo game. If you’re the only player at that moment, the reels could spin for a very long time to give time for another person to join the game.

Different gaming providers may design their Bingo slots differently, but the games will always involve bingo elements. That is, there’ll be multiple players trying to combine patterns on cards compared to the numbers called centrally.

The class II slots’ results depend on the draw of bingo numbers, which are translated into slot reels combination.

Which one should you play: Real Slots or Bingo Slot Machines?

The answer to this depends on your preference. In general, real slots are known and played by more people around the world. This could be because they can be played by only one person and you don’t have to wait like in Bingo slots. But if you’re looking for a way to enjoy slots without the results depending on RNG, you can try Bingo slot machines.

Onuachu ended his run of no goals in eight games for Nigeria with a header in the final minute of time added on to hand all three points to Nigeria.

Originally named on the standby list he was upgraded into the main list after Nantes forward Moses Simon was ruled out of the game by his club.

Rohr trusted the forward nonetheless and introduced him when they were searching for a goal and he didn’t disappoint as he ended up scoring the winner.

“ The coach never lost faith in me even when I wasn’t scoring and some people put him under pressure to drop me. I really want to thank him and hopefully this is the first of many goals I will score for the team in subsequent games by the grace of God”, he told Owngoalnigeria.com

You’re Wicked – Benin Republic Media Blast Super Eagles For Ending Their Eight Years Unbeaten Record At Home

0

The media In Benin Republic has tagged the Super Eagles as wicked and uncompromising for winning yesterday’s 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers game 1-0.

Prior to the game, the Nigerian team booked their spot at the next year tournament after Sierra Leone 0-0 draw with Lesotho but Benin Republic needed a draw to seal passage.

Their plan was one kick away from happening before Paul Onuachu strike with what was virtually the last kick of the game to hand Nigeria a 1-0 in the third and final minute of time added on.

The goal also ended their unbeaten run at home which started since 2013 and has remained a source of pride to them in recent years. They were livid to lose it to a Nigerian team that has nothing at stake in the game.

“ Wicked Super Eagles End Squirrels Unbeaten Run”, one newspaper headline reads. Another had it’s front page headline this way “ Uncompromising Eagles End Squirrels Record For Fun”.

Highly respected Benin Republic media outlet La Nouvelle Tribune were also not left out tagging the Super Eagles as cruel for winning a game, which a draw would have seen both teams through.

“But how cruel these Nigerians are! They maintained the suspense in a match where they did not force their talent. Because, opposite, Michel Dussuyer, the Beninese coach has aligned a defensive team as if the objective were a draw. A result which would have suited both teams”, a section of an editorial reads.

Benin Republic 0-1 Nigeria – Player Ratings ; Zaidu Wins MOTM Award, Top Marks For Aribo, Osimhen

0

The Super Eagles of Nigeria defeated the Squirrels of Benin Republic 1-0 to end their eight years unbeaten run at home courtesy of a goal in stoppage time by Paul Onuachu.

Owngoalnigeria.com rates the players on parade for Nigeria in the game.

Maduka Okoye – Didn’t have much to do as Nigeria dominated but was solid on three occasions when he needed to be particularly when he showed good reflex to push a header to safety…..6/10

Ola Aina – He wasn’t that adventurous like he use to be for his English Premier League side Fulham. Solid defensively and very assured in possession……6/10

Zaidu Sanusi- By far the best Nigerian player on display. Uncompromising in tackles and bomb forward at ease to set up goal scoring chances. His corner kick led to the scramble that resulted in the lone goal of the game……8/10

Leon Balogun – It was all too easy for him. Moved the ball out of defence comfortably and not for once allowed himself to be in a situation that calls for concern…..7/10

Troost-Ekong – Not quite at home with the decision of the back line to play from the back as he was quick to clear his lines. His partnership with Balogun was however solid…..6/10

Wilfred Ndidi – Played in a role that is a bit different from how he operates at Leicester City. Kept it simple playing as a pivot of a midfield three. Was quick to react with a header in the incident that brought about the winning goal…..6/10

Joe Aribo- He was everywhere he needed to be and covered more grounds that any other player on the pitch for Nigeria. A top top showing from the man who recently won the Scottish League with Rangers…..7.5/10

Kelechi Iheanacho- Seniorman was played as a number ten instead of the role behind the striker that he has made his own at Leicester City. Had couple of nice touches and a shot on target but didn’t do that much until he was substituted…..6/10

Henry Onyekuru- Played wide on the left but didn’t quite influence the game as expected. Guilty of taking the safer option instead of trying to make something happen. Didn’t help his cause to cement his spot in the team……5/10

Samuel Chukwueze- He wasn’t anywhere close to his best but showed flashes of what he can do in tight spaces. Still need to work on his decision making in the final third……6/10

Victor Osimhen – Worked really hard as the lone man forward for the Super Eagles. Had two efforts poorly taken when he could have done better. His effort was punched into the path of Onuachu for the winner……6/10

Substitutes:

Chidozie Awaziem- He wasn’t keen on pushing forward. Did his job brilliantly for the time he was on……5/10

Anayo Iwuala- Very direct and pacy but like Chukwueze his decision making in telling moments need to improve. Decided to shoot when a simple pass would have been a better option. Did well for a debutant……6/10

Paul Onuachu- Reacted perfectly to score the winner. His strength has always been in the box and that he showed with the way he scored the winner……6/10
