That goal Nwabali conceded has cost us

Iwobi ooo, score na biko

TheSuperNerd:
4 vs Benin for now
3 vs Lesotho
2 vs SA
3 vs Rwanda

Okay, yes, it is 12. 12 for, 6 against.

But doesnt change BFA. They have 13 as I initially said.
13 for, 7 against.

This is why we are tied on +6 and need one more goal to topple them.

Thats what i said initially, we need 1 more goal to topple them. And time is running out. Biko oo

TheSuperNerd:
I counted their goals. It is 13 minus goals vs Djibouti. We are tied.

Minus Zimbabwe 2 goals its 12 for us.

Unlimited22:
Algeria fight back ffs

Na WA o

If we score one more goal we dont need Algeria to fight back

iamharkinwaley:
Is there still hope ?

I more goal

TheSuperNerd:
Will it? We are tied now with BFA on goals scored, goals conceeded and GD.

I dont know their Yellow cards record yet.

Also DRC lurks. If they beat Sudan, they will claim the final playoff berth with 16pts.

Also be wary of Uganda leading 1-0 away at Algeria. On +4 GD. Hopefully Algeria does not concede more.

We are above Niger and Uganda now. But tied witj BFA.
We need one more goal to go above.

We are not tied on goals. If it remains like this they are still ahead

Mybettingtips:
With this 3-0 we are level with Burkina Faso on 6+ gd

Who will qualify if it stays like this??

They have better goals scored

That final goal from Nwabali , may it not hunt us

Hatrick Osihmen!

1 more goal biko 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Nwabali is wasting time SMH

yemyke001:
why remove chuks abeg?

Injury i think

charlesemeka85:
After this qualifier series it’s high time the handlers of the national team give other flank players a chance as well as ease Simon out from the team

A player like Philip Otele who hv been in hot form so far for Swiss giants Basel is a good mention

Also in defence Ekong should be allowed to concentrate on his club.

The team needs rebuilding, a mix of bright talented young players with some old guards such as Iwobi, ndidi and Ajayi

I have mentioned this before, we need rejigging.

Ekong can stay but should not be playing, at least we can just spare one spot on the squad for him.

Ndidi, Simon , Onyemaechi etc should be eased out

ChrisKels:
Nwabali caught the ball, and was not fouled, but because he felt he was the boss he had a personal belief that after he confronted the Benin player that the ref was already on his side, so he stupidly dropped the ball on the ground.

It was the ref that saved us there, because that goal was supposed to stand.

We need to drop this guy. He has caused us enough troubles already. He was clearly the reason we lost the final against CIV when he started picking up unnecessary fight against Adingra and being childish when we were one goal up.

That is even a goal. The ref just cancelled it, we are lucky here oo. They need to teach the guy the simple rule of the game

junnyjake:
Rwanda sold this game.

Their coach said they will make every one happy, so I suspect thats what he meant by that. I think they have sold the match

minfelix:
uganda is currently on +4 while Nigeria is on +5

Thats why i said, if we score 4 Uganda will not catch up

minfelix:
why i say 90%, its becos of that Uganda game….i dont know what mumu Algeria is looking at that uganda is scoring them

If we score 4 goals. I dont see Uganda doing the same to Algeria.

Benin sef should calm down and allow us. They are not even qualifying

minfelix:
Just 2more goals then we move 90% to play off spot…

2 more goals we are 100% in. That means we have passed burkina and Niger be that.

There need to be a message sent to the dressing room that we need 2 goals.

TheLoneCitizen:
I won't be surprised if the Nigerian coaching team are not technical enough to know this.

Osihmen seems to know, but we need to send a message to them that we need 2 goals. Its doable. If not for that goal we conceded vs Lesotho e for just be 1

Unlimited22:
We. Know na

See my post

Now they need to score three sef


Na Sudan be the koko. They are useless.

If we score 2 more goals we dont need Sudan. That goal we conceded against Lesotho is very bad we for just need 1 goal

We need 2 more goals to eclipse Burkina Faso. Guys we can do.

We need to score more to qualify for playoffs

Rwanda will still draw South Africa

Goke7:
Issorite I must not hear anyone wailing on this thread o about not qualifying for the World Cup since we prefer Afcon title.

Make Una stay one place!

So why cant we win AFCON and qualify for World cup

Goke7:
Qualification for the World Cup is a reflection of where you truly are in your national football development. Let's not get it twisted; I would trade two or three African Cup of Nations titles for a World Cup ticket. After all, at the global stage, who truly values Afcon apart from us Africans?

We blame some North African countries for always qualifying for the World Cup and doing badly at the competition, but we forget that they continue to dominate African club continental competitions.

I will not trade 1 AFCON title for 3 world cup tickets. If you give me an opportunity to chose between wining the next AFCON or qualify for this world . I will chose AFCON title.

Amedino99:
Zimbabwe just use bad belle energy play SA. Dem no fit even draw lesotho.

This puts Lesotho ahead of Rwanda on the table. Will this motivate Rwanda to regain their position on the table tommorow?

Cocony:
You must resort to improper words to pass across a message. I would rather call you the joker and pessimist. Let Nairalanders check the consistency of my posts on this thread and of yours to evaluate a joker.
Football is not Mathematics. We played Rwanda away and beat them 2-0. Mathematics meant we would/should beat them 2-0 or more at home, alas it was 1-0.
Having been beaten 2:1 by this same team in Abidjan it will suffice to payback when it mattered most with the new attacking combo we discovered.
4-0 I have been singing from the beginning and God-willing at least 4:0 we shall get.

I apologise if that appears like. Honestly i dont mean it like that

Dannyxy:
burkina had 10 goals wiped out because they flogged the last team with 10 goals.

So they had 11 goals + todays 3= 14 goals

We have 11 goals if we add 3 against Benin = 14 goals

We have same goals with them.

It goes to a tie. They have 17/18 yellow card I am not sure if the had a red.

You forget goals against the last team is non existent for second place.

So their 10 goals against last place does not matter.

Confirm we need just 3 goals against Benin to go ahead of them.

Our 2 goals we scored against Zimbabwe will also be taken out remember

Dannyxy:
3 goals except we have more yellow cards

They have 13 goals and conceeded 7. +6.
Considering we have score 11 goals overall and conceded 8. Remove the 2 goals we sxored and conceded against Zimbabwe. That 9-6. If we win 3-0. It will be 12-6, +6. But they have more goals. We need 4nil or 4-1. And with thst its impossible.

Dannyxy:
Meanwhile I really dislike the attitude of Nigerian players, I have only seen strong mentality and passion from osimhen, they play games like it’s just one of those games.

You need to see falcons play, the passion, the fight and strong mentality.

Ekong Ndidi Iwobi Moses Chukwueze are the worst culprits of this, they lack any passion most times, no fight no grits, like they play so casually like they can’t wait to go to their clubs, very poor national team mentality.

I would rather ndidi seat out this game, ekong too..

If they don’t want to come play they should reject call ups, you play like 6 times a year for your national team except there is a competition yet they are so casual about games.

The best thing to do is do the Stephen Keshi Method. Flushout everybody and restart on a fresh note.
Ekong, Ndidi, Simon Moses, Chukwueze, Ndidi, Nwabali,Onyeka, Dessers, Bruno Onyemaechi, Osayi Samuel, Alhassan, Ajayi and Iwobi and co. All of them no more National team call up for them.
Biuld around Osihmen, Lookman), Bassey, Fredrick, Onyedika, Dele-Bashiru, Akor Adams, Chrisantus Uche, Ola Aina, and Felix Agu.

Go and bring Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, the GK Arthur Okonkwo, integrate Maigana and Sani Suleiman from the Under 20s.

If we can Convince Lesley Ugochukwu. That will be great too. Then go scouting both in Nigeria and Europe and bring serious players.

A Sqaud of .

Gk.Arthur Okonkwo, Okoye, Amas Obasogie.
Defenders: Aina, Felix Agu, Bassey, Fredricks, etc
Midfielders: Akinsamiro, Ugochukwu, Onyedika, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Uxhe, Sani Suleiman and Tahir Maigana.

Fwd: Lookman, Osihmen, Akor Adams, Alakodare, Terem Moffi etc.

Then find other younger players thst are hungry and make it up. Ekong can still remain in the team but as Captain who rarely plays.

123jamessmith:
He be like say our chance for playoff don slim o. How many goals do we need to score to displace Burkina Faso for that 4th position.

4-0 unfortunately
