Read carefully before commenting.

femicyrus:

the more reason we must qualify for the next round before playing Argentina.

That has always been my fear for African teams, they play well in major tournaments but referee decision at times alter the complexities of the game. Though NFF should have done better.

isan:
What kind of humiliation is this? Somebody must get sacked just if we needed that match to qualify? NFf are just stupid

baba it apens ....something like this apened to real Madrid last cops del rey...they wier disqualified...an oversight ,might be costly Nxt tum tho....

Nigeria and drama. Incompetence everywhere - from head to toe.

who reading epp?

The controversial penalty awarded against us, I wonder why these buffoons fail to sanction the referee but they remember punishing us by fielding a player who played due to poor record keeping on the path of NFF.

I believe this useless FIFA board would be put to shame. Even If they ranked Nigeria 200th position, as long as we reach semi finals or even go ahead to win the world cup, I would be satisfied.

They can deduct 9 points and give it to Zambia. Useless animals.

FIFA never liked us

And I played home win on bet9ja and Fifa is now saying the game don click who do I sue now

So if we hadn't qualified before that game,
our World Cup slot could have just been
lost. SUPER EAGLES VILLAGE PEOPLE FAILED THIS TIME.. They know we are going to win the world cup in Russia so they are trying everything possible to stop us.. THUNDER FIA THEM ALL

including FIFA

I guess something must be wrong with FIFA, CAF and NFA?... Does it mean FIFA & CAF does receive the list of players before the match day... Now, they want to claim ignorance.... Not in a court that such will be treated like that...

gebest:
including FIFA

Yea.. fire burn them all

Why did FIFA not vet the team list before the match? Why wait till after the match? Useless people all

Latest decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee
12 Dec 2017


Following the recent meeting of the Disciplinary Committee, FIFA can today confirm the latest sanctions imposed for incidents that occurred during the preliminary competition for the FIFA World Cup™ as well as in international friendlies.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has been sanctioned for fielding an ineligible player in the match between Algeria and Nigeria on 10 November 2017. The match is declared to be forfeited and awarded 3-0 in favour of Algeria, with the NFF also receiving a fine of CHF 6,000.


The sanction relates to the player Abdullahi Shehu failing to serve the automatic one-match suspension imposed on him as a result of receiving a caution in two separate matches of the same competition. This sanction bears no impact on the final result of the preliminary competition for the FIFA World Cup since Nigeria had already qualified (and Algeria eliminated) before the match took place.

This is stupidly ridiculous! Nobody remembered and even the player himself, or they just intentionally wanted to dare FIFA??

Rough Play

We (Nigeria) should have somebody or committee for this and if there is, they should be sanction. It's disgraceful for a whole nation to be doing such. If not for the strong force or the politics Nigeria played during the last caf election, it would have been another story. Thank God, Zambia were not at same point with us. But it's shameful

krattoss:
Fifa are just stupid...how in earth will they carry a yellow card against Swaziland in the first phase of the qualifying and roll it over to the second phase....

And to think of it they just discoverd after the worldcup draws... what 're they even smoking??

Well I expect an official response from amaju pinnick. .

Rules are rules and it's left for the NFF to know the relevant regulations in a competition and adhere to it, luckily for them this one didn't bite them on the butt..

This is just like gifting somebody condom after he has contacted gonorrhea

Please don't FIFA go through the list before match for verification. I mean it's all in their bladdy database, how did they get to know. It doesn't excuse the incompetence of NFF though.

Noescrownoshow:
Na our grouping with Argentina be my problem nobi this one ,, make Algeria carry the 3 points and 3 - 0 go buy garri ,, we will buy sugar and groundnut for them when we're coming back from Russia

femicyrus:
someone in NFF failed to do his job which could have denied us participation in the world cup if the last match was the decider.
if they remember to give oliseh his share of the qualifier bonus, how on earth did they forget a match ban on a player.
I really hope they will learn from this development..

My brother in so shocked to read this.That stupid coach and Amaju pinnick must resign or be sacked.If that match was the decider ,we would av lost our world cup place...

Is Ghana witches bro.. Thank God they failed..

FIFA not get work shaa... person fit get heart attack untop reading the headline alone

This is why I laugh when people complain about our fifa rankings. The rules are there for people to see yet every month I hear people including top personalities in NFF say we don't know why fifa is ranking us low. Do we have someone in the NFF or technical committee overseeing match data and stats?

Useless country

It’s solely the responsibility of the national association to keep tabs on the players who are carrying yellow cards.
It’s analogous to expecting a referee, before a game, to tell a player not to commit a foul: it’s not the ref’s job.

How come our NFF people are so dumb? Something similar happened during the reign of Samson Siasia when we needed a goal or so to qualify for the nations cup. Lack of records keeping. Heads must roll.
