You know it is really bad when our Hero of the SA 3 pts deduction saga wants Chelle gone because of the latest list.

I’m just disappointed. I still have hope that we’ll qualify, but it doesn’t look good from the selection. I will support them and hope for the best.

Chelle is a fool. I wanted him to stay even if we didn’t qualify so he could coach us at AFCON, now I want him gone. Terrible selection.

South Africa is sailing and scoring goals for fun.

SA - 16 points with +8 GD.
Nigeria - 10 points with +2 GD.

Remove 3 points and 3 goals and SA will still be on 13 points with +5GD.

There's no other option. We have to beat SA handsomely on Tuesday, win our remaining matches and also hope SA looses somewhere down the road.

Its an uphill task but its possible, and I choose to believe till the end.

Na Peseiro and Finidi put us for this gbege.

You would have to remove 5 goals from South Africa.

Chai...I hope this is not true

The 24 hour rule is dumb. Any team can sneak an ineligible player and hope no one notices in time.

Odunayaw:
Motlomelo Mkwanazi (CB) of Lesotho

He had 🟨 against Nigeria.
🟨 Against Benin
🟨 Against Rwanda

Wait for it...

He was fielded against SA

He served his suspension on match day 3.

How long did the Algerians take to levy a complaint against us in 2018?

It wasn’t under 24 hours.

Too late to submit a petition

FIFA makes exceptions. We were deducted points many weeks after our match vs Algeria.

HandsomeSkeleto:
I think it has to be. Take the case of any other league for example. Premier League. Does having yellow cards on match day 11 and match day 23 mean that I will be suspended for match day 24?

I think in the EPL you need 5 yellow cards for a suspension. It doesn’t have to be consecutive.

Card match day 3
Card match day 8
Card match day 11
Card match day 16
Card match day 23
Suspension match day 24

Mrexcell:
Are u sure they didn't appeal any of the yellow cards?

I don’t know, but the yellows still appear on FIFA match reports.

Bintasukai:
We should have waited till after their match to "find out" maybe dem for deduct 6 points. In other news it doesn't pay us as we will drop 1 place on the table since Lesotho will climb higher than us if they get the 3 points.

No because a South Africa Benin draw would benefit Nigeria more than a Benin win.

mikeapollo:
I think it must be yellow card in 2 consecutive matches. Match Day 1 and Match Day 4 are not consecutive matches.
Be prepared to play and win on the field of play. No back door points to qualify for the WC.
If you are knocked out of the qualifiers, you come sit at home and watch others play. The WC is nobody's birth right!

It doesn’t have to be consecutive.

Check o

Were the two matches world cup qualifiers?

Or one of them world cup qualifiers and the other nations cup qualifiers?

In football, accumulating two yellow cards in separate matches within the same competition leads to a one-match suspension for the next scheduled game

They were world cup qualifiers.

Teboho Mokoena (Yellow Card 54 mins ) vs Benin- Match Day 1

Teboho Mokoena ( Yellow Card 52nd minute ) vs Zimbabwe -Match day 4

He should have been suspended for their game vs Lesotho, but he played. If confirmed, South Africa will be deducted 3 points.

Let NFF and CAF/FIFA know as this could be to the benefit of the Super Eagles
