kobonaire: And that is a proper football pitch too

the game is bveing played in Morocco...and like someone said, Clabar is not our best pitch, there are better ones in Abuja, Lagos and even Uyo, but who give 2 shiits bout the pitch when we've qualified? I didn't read on any site that the game was played on a bad pitch.

@1,2 funny you should talk, isn't this the Ethiopian team that beat your Bafana Bafana to get to this stage? Please y'all can talk when you actually qualify for such tournaments without it being based on your hosting it

isale_gan2: Senegal are playing Cote d'Ivoire now. Just started watching on a stream. Nil all at 36 minute mark.

No idea where each stands in qualification. Does anyone know?

very boring match
***Make I go off gen sef at the end of this half****

OkeyDePrince: It's all in the name of qualifying to the World Cup...
They really have nothing to offer. No term will be
like USA 94.. I wish they Gudluck anyway........

What is this one saying

I take great exception as to why we played on a bad pitch...
1) It affected our game - it was quite obvious from their play. I am happy we got the result but cannot deny that SE were lacking their normal flow
2) If we have better stadia and pitches then why are we not playing there? We are the so called giants of Africa, why can't we showcase our country's infrastructures to the world instead of playing on this C grade pitch?
PS: You do not need to read it on any website that the pitch was bad, just watching the game was enough evidence that the pitch was not worthy of a football power house like the super eagles.

Answer = money and luck.

naptu2: Answer = money and luck.

Bros, we certainly have the money .... at least compared to Morocco

I bet u have not been watching.

kobonaire: Bros, we certainly have the money .... at least compared to Morocco

Money: NFF is perpetually broke and they will go to any state whose governor is prepared to foot their bill, regardless of the quality of the pitch. At half time, the Golden Eaglets presented the World Cup trophy to Governor Imoke, because he was like their adopted father. He paid their hotel and transport bills and covered their other expenses during the qualifiers and preparations for the U17 World Cup.

In the mid-2000s, Eagles matches were often played in Port-Harcourt because Governor Odili was always ready to foot the bill (there was controversy when he gave both the Eagles and the Black Stars money, during a dinner after a world cup qualifier. The Liberians claimed that it was evidence of match fixing).

We failed to qualify for Germany 2006, partly because only the Kano State Government agreed to fund the match against Angola. Our Europe based players were not used to the heat in Kano.

khattab02: I bet u have not been watching.

What are you saying.....how many saves have you seen from both keepers?

Drogba committed PK

Goal for Senegal 1-0
I guess the match will be alive now(13 mins to go)

femi4: What are you saying.....how many saves have you seen from both keepers?

many saves. Now senegal has scored. 1nil and 13 minutes to go.

If senegal win 2-0 they will go to world cup!

mikeansy: If senegal win 2-0 they will go to world cup!

This match is intense. Lot of Ivorians have yellow card to their names.

game on... More pressure will be mounting on cote'divoire now.

khattab02: many saves. Now senegal has scored. 1nil and 13 minutes to go.

Go ahead name them....you can't?
Next time....think before you post

khattab02: many saves. Now senegal has scored. 1nil and 13 minutes to go.

I love the heart Senegal is showing ... the goal scorer even has some swagger in his step

It's squeaky bum time for CIV. Will they blow their WC chance?

SEN 1 - 1 CIV

Senegal deserved that slot in the World cup, Ivory Coast scores- and Ivory Coast makes thd World Cup

Congrats to Cote D' Ivoire.

So, on aggregate, it's now Ivory Coast 4 - 2 Senegal.

Nigeria and Ivory Coast through to the World Cup. Ivory Coast makes their 2nd world cup finals. A great match it was, I feel bad for Senegal

yes, a play off with the likes of Jordan won't be a bad idea

Tomorrow, Cameroon v Tunisia will kick off at 3pm. The 1st leg in Rades ended goalless, expect a very tense game in Yaounde.

Third for ivory coast

I just saw the CONCACAF qualification victors, and the way CONCACAF is structured, USA is almost always guaranteed a slot in the FIFA World Cup, regardless of the fact that their team sucks.

Yea, it's because US Int'l dialing code is +1

CFCfan: Tomorrow, Cameroon v Tunisia will kick off at 3pm. The 1st leg in Rades ended goalless, expect a very tense game in Yaounde.

that would be another interesting and entertaining game. It would make the most anticipated game of the 2nd leg of play-offs, followed by the Algeria vs. Burkina Faso

Continent favours some teams.

Japan is always the first team to qualify after the host country

CFCfan: Tomorrow, Cameroon v Tunisia will kick off at 3pm. The 1st leg in Rades ended goalless, expect a very tense game in Yaounde.

Why is this concluded match was played in Casa Blanca, Morocco?
