Apart from the fact that he played rubbish in this match and was probably our worst defender in a defence that had a literal kid in it, if we end up not qualifying, it's his fault for conceding that equalizer to Zimbabwe.

I get that the team is bad in general but it's his job as a captain to be one of the better players, not the one sabotaging the team. Let's not talk about his careless own goal vs South Africa.

That Zimbabwe match sef is the killer, Imagine we won that match.

Even in this Match, he was very suspect and poor. A better team woould have punished us. Him and Nwabali are just trojan horses

Unlimited22:
Any win with clean sheet, we top them

If SA also drop points, it means the god of football is from Uromi, Aviele, Auchi or Ekpoma.

And Rwanda is not playing for anything, they can just decide to play defensive game through out and hold them like the way Zimbabwe did

TheLoneCitizen:
We scored 5 goals away from home, they scored 4.

If we beat them 3-2, they jump to 6. If we beat them 2-1, we mustn't collect one more yellow card than them or we're f**ked

Your points still stands oo but its “Away Goals Scored: The team that has scored more away goals in matches between the tied teams is ranked higher”. So its away goals between us. We scored 1 away goals against them, so if we keep clean sheet against them and win we go above them. If they score 2 they go above us. Its very very tight

Isahalbash:
I think they beat Nigeria at home 2-1 so based on h2h Nigeria will still top with a 1-0 win but 2-1 will be a tied.

If we beat them 1-0 we top them, if its 3-2 they top us. So we need to beat them by more than 1 goal margin or just keep clean sheet

TheLoneCitizen:
Not yet this is where the problem comes in.

If we beat them by a lone goal, we must keep a clean sheet.

If we beat them 2-1, we qualify.
If we beat them 3-2, they qualify.

You are correct ooo, If we beat them just 1-0. Its enough oo. Kai can we keep a clean sheet?

If we beat them no matter the scoreline

Isahalbash:
Nah only you check table well, even 1-0 Nigeria will qualify cos we would be on same goals scored and conceded as long as SA didn't win.

If we beat them by 1 goal, We will top them based on Disciplinary records ooo. Because everything will be tied

We still have a scores to settle with SouthAfrica

kennysville:
Nope, any win gets us to equal points 17pts . We need more goals. If we can run them riot, then its a chance. but SA still stands a chance of topping. All they need is a win however slim. If however the Eritrea Clause is implemented, we may find out that the 1-1 draw against Zim is what gets us a second place.... Lets keep watching

The Eritrea issue doesn’t have any impact within our group it doesn’t matter. Where it will matter is if we finish second and they want to rank us with other second place team. You get?

We dont need to run Benin Riot, we just need to beat them, once its by 2 goals difference we will top them, if its just 1 we need to avoid cards as disciplanry records will be checked

TheLoneCitizen:
A one goal ties the GD.

They are on 12:7

If we beat them 1-0. That's 12:8

Identical to us.

Disciplinary records will be checked

Unlimited22:
I think fifa and caf use gd before head to head.

They are +5 now, we are +3 so if we win for example 1-0. They will be +4 and we will also be +4. The goal scored and goal against will be the same. Then Disciplinary measures will be checked. From my count Benin has received 14 yellow cards we have reviewed 12.

Imagine

hatakekakashi:
We need to win by 2 goals. It's possible. The hard part is South Africa dropping points to Rwanda

Not 2 goals, any kind of win against Benin we will go above them. The issues is, can Rwanda hold SouthAfrica?

Spainever:
I saw SA won by 1.0

SouthAfrica drew.

Mybettingtips:
we need to beat Benin 2-0 not 3

No any win against Benin Republic we will top them

Unlimited22:
That Zimbabwe draw is going to be the game that costs us the world cup.

Exactly. If we had won that game, we would have simply won Benin and qualified.

Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 did us a huge Favour by drawing SA

QueenJazz:
Nwabali OUT

Ekong OUT

I don't want to hear any rubbish. Get these two comedians out of my team!!!

I have said it several times, Nwabali is the first person that is supposed to be replaced in our team if we are Serious.
I swear if that guy face proper European or SouthAmerican players he will be exposed

TheSuperNerd:
Stanley Nwabali, it is like u want to lose that number 1 shirt today!!! That was stupid. Who are u punching to??

If I am the Nigerian Coach, the first person I will kick out of Super Eagles is Nwabali.

Ekong will just be there for Vibes.

Goke7:
Lesotho knows we need more goals hence their time wasting. They are surely in solidarity with SA

Exactly they started the time wasting from the start.

Zimbabwe has collected Red card. Nawao

Ekong nearly lost that PK sef. SMh

Joebie:
Chelle was praised so much in this thread for how he carried Mali in the last AFCON. Even many people still believe say we go win the next AFCON.

Same Chelle that gis team was leading Ivory coast 1-0 with 1 man down, and yet lost the game and he started pouring water on his head. SMH

maidaboi:
I am not seeing that urgency that we usually see from teams playing for a win

No urgency at all. This is a sign that the coach is not good enough

lbrichman2:
I wonder why they are asking for Lookman to be taken off.
Dude has been one of our better players this half

Dont mind them, only him and Osihmen are showing Urgency

You see that Alakodare, they should never invite that guy to national team anymore

joelsteron:
Eric Chelle switch that formation to 4-3-3

Take off Lookman/simon , bring on Chukwueze.
Bring on Alhasan for Tolu Arokodare.
Allow Iwobi move forward

Remove which Lookman? Simon should never play again for Super Eagles. Remove Simon put Chukwueze. Remove Alakodare put Onyeka or Uche

-Only Osihmen and Lookman are showing any urgency, But lookman is very rusty.
- Alakodare is not national team quality.
- Iwobi has nothing else to prove in Super Eagles. He should be benched henceforth. What a discouraging performance.
- Kai Ekong should leave football as football has left him.
A better team would have punished us because of Ekong.
- Onyeamachi is a very below average player.

minfelix:
Last time Osimhen faced Lesotho
Lesotho 2-4 Nigeria (Osimhen 2goals) in 2021

If Aubameyang can score 4 Osihmen can score 5 or 6

Danielnino00:
You want to beat Darling daddy Rohr 5-0

We beat them 3-0 the last time they came here. Now we need goals, we should adopt every crude tactics to score plenty goals. Trust me if this is north African team. They will feed Benin Lasagne and trash them 5-0. But na only us for Africa sabi do diplomacy

solonnachi:
Chelle will work on Mali for us.

Good but we beed goals at this point, we need to beat Lesotho and Benin at least 3-0 eash

Elock1:
At this point ....i'm hoping we can somehow qualify as the group toppers, going through the playoffs looks more difficult

From making it into the best 4 runners up to the play off itself

Omo

I swear to everything i know, if we make it to the play offs we will qualify

Its Gabon, Cameroon, Dr Congo and Nigeria if we manage to see off Burkinafaso.
Trust me we will win any of these people. The play off is a mini tournament in Morroco

minfelix:
Burkina faso is on +4goals, Nigeria(assuming we are on second) we will be having +2 goals if we get into the play off table…we need to win lesotho with 2goals and tie on points and goals with Burkina faso

We don’t need to tie we need to go above them on GD. We need to beat Lesotho 3 zero to go above them. Because they scored more on GF. We also need to outscore them in our match against Benin Republic compared to what they might get against Ethiopia at home. The good thing is they play on Sunday we play on Monday we will know the number of goals we need at that time.

When Benin come to Nigeria, no Brotherhood oo, we need to apply every trick in the books to score plenty goals against them, 5-0 sef if possible

mekabuachi:
Nigerian football fans are actually the best in the world🥹

Imagine despite all the twists, frustration and disappointment we are still calculating, believing ... Kudos to everyone on this thread we're the real MVP fr👍

This is our country my dear, we don’t have any other one. Italy failed to qualify for 2 straight world cups, does that mean, they fans no longer exists?

Like I said before we will fight and hope until our chances is Zero

TheSuperNerd:
Gambia 3-3 Gabon

Our main Challengers are Burkinafaso we need plenty goals. If Benin Repuplic can score 5 against Lesotho. Why can we. And we defeated Benin 3-0 at home in the last AFCON qualifier.

If we can repeat that and beat Lesotho like 4-0. And pray that Burkinafaso do not pour many goals against Ethiopia

minfelix:
from the update deductions, they need to beat Ethiopia at home with more GD to stand a chance
Then Madagascar need to beat Mali

Madagasger cannot beat Mali.

Our main opponents are Burkinafaso . We need plenty of goals. SMH
