Angola have won three of their four games in the competition.

Lookman reckoned Pedro Goncalves’ side will be a tough nut to crack for the Super Eagles.
“Angola are a good team. We’ll analyze them and prepare. The further you go, the tougher it gets so we’ll take it game by game,” Lookman told reporters.
The Atalanta winger, who is playing in his first major tournament with Nigeria said he is enjoying every bit of his time in Cote d’Ivoire.
“I love this atmosphere, it’s incredible. Our fans pushed us to the end because this was Cameroon, and when you wear the Super Eagles shirt, some games resonate more than others.”

I said this immediately after the match against Cameroon. Angola is a tough opponent and would be tougher than Cameroon.
Our players have to up their game a little bit more if they have to beat Angola.
I hope we still remember the same Angola team stopped Nigeria from qualifying to the World Cup in the past.
Our boys should not underrate Angola, but if they do, Angola will shock them. That is just it. Good luck, Super Eagles. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
Angola will be tough, but they can’t stop the super Eagles from advancing. Nigeria will be champion by beating Senegal in the final, it is destined; just like the game between Senegal and Ivory coast will be very tough but Senegal will triumph despite many things that will be against them. Senegal will be in the final because it is destined that Nigeria will win the cup by beating Senegal.
Hello? Should I say you are high on your name “Colorado”which Senegal you wan play for final? The Senegal wey CIV don eliminate yesterday?
Omo! This one weak me o
No mind the ode
Angola led their group on 7points beating some old timers. They are strong and fast with sharp shooters, accurate headers and unafraid of any opponents. Nigeria should be watchful and not underestimate them. 8f any country should disgrace/knock them out of the tournament, it should not be Angola. Nigeria should be wise.
@Esse Thank you, no mind Nigerians Dem no dey hear word. History? History Teaches us Nigerians nothing it is something I have come to realise.
I mean Nigerians Are still calling themselves Giant Of Africa for exploits Achieved in the 90’s and still glorify that squad like say today no dey again. No mind dem jare!
