Yeah I hope they get it too or somehow reach a deal to also broadcast it. Not forgetting the local stations as well. They shouldn't be left out.

In other news, CAF have opened up bids for television rights ahead of the AFCON for the sub-saharan Africa region.. I think north Africa already has beIN sports...

Let's hope supersport get the right again... they are the only capable ones in sub-saharan Africa anyway...

When we hopefully get through to the final round of qualifying it could potentially be a banana peel that could trip us.

I have no doubt in my mind that we have the tools to beat anyone on the continent unfortunately our obvious tactical deficiency and NFF's lack of focus have dampened my hope of qualification. Anyway like you said we can only stay optimistic.

seankafor:
am sad how caf came up with this format..
Though it's for the good of the continent as only the best gets to represent the continent.. but still yet, it will be tighter or at par as the main mundial itself..

Ndidi's availability for the next game is touch and go. Brendan said he will be out for maybe 6 weeks unless he recovers miraculously fast.

Next game Zaidu, iwobi, Ndidi has to play and that imbalanced 424 formation has to stop

Egbon just can't put a finger why Simon has been so average lately. I can understand his presence in the lineup provides balance especially when you have more flair wingers like Ejuke and Chukwueze but his usefulness in attack especially in games this year has been non existent. At Nantes he's the king of assists in SE he behaves like a vampire. Onyekuru despite his club struggles still looks like another option we should give a run in the team.

Awaziem looks and plays like a future leader looks like someone who can replace one of the oyinbo wall at the AFCON.

I won't completely dismiss Zaidu yet. Under the right tactical formation he's an asset in attack. Remember his assist for Osimhen's goal against Sierra Leone?

I still think Rohr is missing something with the way he deploys Aribo. Ndidi, Iwobi and Joe all featured against Ukraine and Brazil and we saw how devastating our attack could be with the right midfield set up. No doubt the SE midfield is still begging for someone that will bring control in the middle of the park.

Kog45:
Abeg large man comot Zaidu and I pray Awaziem move to a better club so that his talent will not waste.....

Check Fikayo,Tammy,Danjuma moving to another clubs and see the results but our own talented Iheanacho stay put in a average Leicester team always as a sub and feeling comfortable cos Nigeria national team is not that competitive.

The only solution in eagles is DM with arrival of Frank Onyeka and probably our attacks with Osimehn,Taiwo,Onuachu,Moffi....I don't rate Samuel Kalu and Simeon Moses seem going out of it....Ejuke and Chuckwueze cool to me.

Truly said the midfield is the real issue and I don't know how Rohr is going to solve this...not really impressed with Aribo recently in eagles color cos is coming should have been a relief with presence of Iwobi.

Goalkepping we have Uzoho who has WC experience but Rohr said Okoye is better meaning we don't have issue in that area.

If rankings currently stay the way they are the strongest countries we could face if we qualify for the next round are CIV, Mali or Egypt and Maybe Ghana

No host country fans allowed. Apart from the venue the game is treated as a home game of the team using the venue so their fans will take precedent.

FIFA ranking. The top teams were put in one pot while the other lower ranked teams in different pots.

Cameroon were in one of the lower pots unfortunately for them and Ivory Coast they both got each as it happens with draws.

samtol4:
Looking at the World cup African qualifiers table, I wonder how Cameroon & Ivory coast were paired in the same group. Ghana and South Africa are in the same group. Burkina Faso & Algeria are in the same group. Then look at Group J
Tanzania
Benin
DR Congo
Madagascar
Can someone explain this? This may be denied the best teams to represent Africa

I have watched Osimhen carefully over the past months and I think personally he's not too far off from becoming an elite striker. Why do I say that? His positioning has gotten better. I prefer a forward who is always in the right place to get a shot at goal even if he misses than a John Cena type who often needs the perfect pass to dispatch.

Victor's major issues now are his wayward shots and a bit of lack of calmness. Most of the chances he has missed so far in these qualifiers is because he doesn't realize that he has more time on the ball than he actually thinks. This is where Iheanacho excels.

Many under achieving teams around the world have the poster of the Malian national team on their wall The under achievers' under achiever grin

Banter aside the Malians I think have lacked a manager with personality to inspire them to the next level. On their day they give the best African teams a run for their money but I agree they lack character when facing the Senegals, Algerias, Nigerias, etc

They are capable but they haven't won anything forever...in any age grade! Never been to the World Cup either when even Togo have been...

Guess that answers the question why a talent like Leroy Sane was allowed to leave Man City and why he hasn't quite tied down a starting XI shirt with Bayen and Germany

Mujtahida:
There's so much emphasis on efficiency and athleticism to the extent that dribbling is considered a waste of time. Instead of dribbling one, two, three players, coaches expect players to pass the ball. Read the articles in the links below

8 in 14 but you're right people are funny comparing a young Osimhen to Ighalo who it took years to get to his prime.

Subzero047:
Osimhen has 7 goals and 6 assists in 13 matches for Nigeria yet we are still looking for a 9?

Didn't watch the game live just checked out the highlights. Have to rewatch that Ejuke sequence but from my first observation it seems he was trying to go solo.. I agree he needs to stop the unnecessary dribbles that lead to no where and use his ability to open up space for other attackers. He can become an assist master if he concentrates on that aspect of his game. Shaku Shakuism should be ditched totally.

Good result but personally we should be beating CAR without breaking a sweat really.

Happy that Balogun redeemed himself.

As for Rohr let's just get through this round of qualifiers before I give my verdict on the man. Spoiler alert it won't be pleasant.

Hope between the NFF and Lagos state government they will try not to sabotage the team next match day and play on a decent pitch. Even if it is to carry it to Onikan they should sha make sure the pitch is decent.

andrewbaba44:
Osimhen was not offside ,he was only offside at the later part of when ejuke was holding the ball ,reason why he needs to release the ball quick and stop the unnecessary dribbles

Honestly his decision making and atrocious crossing really pissed me of. surprised that he stayed on as long as he did.

Frankly all the wingers were annoying even if you can't cross at least make dribbling runs into the box who knows someone might trip you and you win a pen!

Osimhen was average today but at least he was trying to make things happen. Ball hit the bar, missed shorts and headers and laid it on a plate for Awoniyi. Wasn't Victor's day.

I think you are on to something. When he handled the CHAN team at least I saw some measure of tactical play. No qualms getting rid of him because of corruption but the very least you can do is to hire a tactical replacement but no you go and bring Yobo who doesn't even have coaching badges ment!

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think the team played well when that criminal Salisu Yusuf was part of the coaching staff.

lol Rohr is just breaking records everywhere. First to allow a team come back to draw a match after being 4-0 nil down. Home loss to South Africa now CAR that haven't won in 15 games? grin comedy hour.

I suspected something was amiss when players were coming unto the pitch to take selfies just before the game started. Same way we brought sports minister and edo deputy governor to train during preparations for match against seirra leone.

Pinnick and NFF it seems are doing everything to sabotage this team cos providing the simplest pitch to play on is not rocket science. If SUDAN, ZAMBIA and even freaking Ethiopia can get a decent pitch that is not uneven bumpy or poorly grassed then we have absolutely no excuse.

I'm glad the Lagos fans booed them because we will not tolerate such ROHRBISH!

Rohr and the players deserve to be bashed for today no caps. Pitch didn't help but this team is obviously not coached well. Silly kindergarten mistakes all over the place. All the players should really take a long hard look in the mirror.

For Rohr the less said the better.

AndSunGorilla:
But Awo has had some great chances which he hasn't taken well, just before the CAR goal, he missed a good chance created by Osimhen.

Anyway, let's all bring out our daggers, knives and machetes to butcher the team as we want to. Idenna, Joebie, Elyte, GoodJoe, Chriskels and many others, get an apron so blood would be minimal on your body.

The bold right here is simply the truth

Napoleon55:
No sane person will start hating awoniyi because of forgiveness ,
Awoniyi is too humble to attract such resentment.
Mr forgiveness might even like Osimhen more than some of the people he argued against him.

Most times people who attack some players here don't do it because they truely hate those players but they do it because they indirectly want to attack some people here.

I agree. I love (no homo) Osimhen to bits but he will need to be doing what he is currently doing consistently for at least 2 seasons straight before we get into the conversion about him being better than greats like Aubameyang who has been consistent for at least 8 of the past 10 years.

forgiveness:
Oga! Based on your assertion, Youssef En-Nesyri was the best last season.

I am being realistic and and emotionally attached to blind patriotism.

Osimhen is still coming up.
