Twitter just dey bash our players…

People putting Benin flag on their handles…

And the bashing dey enter well

Elohim, Adonai, Elshadai, Elroi, Elolam, Yahweh, Jehovah I worship You.

Ghana dey drag us wetin no good for twitter.

Funny thing it’s hilarious

forgiveness:
11goals will be reduced to 2 after subtracting the 2 goals we scored against Zimbabwe. Leaving us with 9 goals and 6 goals conceived.

We need 4 goals to be clear. 3 goals if no more cards.

I don forget that one

This calculation dey turn our brain inside out

CapitalCee:
4-0 unfortunately

3 goals except we have more yellow cards

CapitalCee:
If it had been 1-0 to Burkina then 2-0 will tie them. But
2-1. They will be ahead of us on goal scored.

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.

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.

Anyway, nwabali na you cause this thing…

Cocony:
You like stress. We do not need any tie breaker so let's thank God our Match comes after the Burkina Faso match. Sense and sensibility say if Burkina Faso wins by a 1 goal margin we must need a 3goals margin win to avoid any form of tie breaker. This is the correct way to reason.

3 goals give us qualification, but what if we are 2-0 goals up in last min, and 2 goals can qualify base on tie breakers, then we are running around looking for a 3rd when 2 can do this things.

I don’t know how to check yellow cards or Burkina Faso, but I have a feeling they have more than we do because they are a physical team, we also need to have this information.

Yes 3 will get us in, but 2 might also, and it’s good you have all information.

The way you guys calculate goals.

If Nigeria win Benin 2-0, and Burkina Faso wins 2-1, we are tied on goals and points
Now there will be a tie breaker which is yellow/red card, knowing Burkina Faso I know they have more yellow cards.

This is the same way people started shouting 3-0 goals when we needed against Benin if South Africa looses.

We should not be running around looking for 3 goals in the last minute when we have 2, and use it to advance. Let’s be sure of our calculations

Burkina vs Ethiopia is a very expected result

It’s easier to play a Benin that are under pressure to remain first than to play a Rwanda that is out…

South Africa might win o but dem go see shege lol…

Teams that have nothing to loose are very dangerous, South Africa should be scared.

While you Dey panic dem dey string passes and placing shots with confidence.

Ppogbae:
Lmao, see how these teams score with ease against minnows

they have decent midfielders, we don’t have midfielders, we need good midfielders.

I dey pity the players, they should just avoid twitter…

The pessimism is strong, they caused it all, funny on Tuesday they will playing lethargic still .

I don’t want ndidi around the box or inside…

He should stay protecting our defense, he misses too much in annoying manner, always missing goals.

Omoh them don drag nonsense comot from super eagles on twitter today

Osimhen collected the most dragging, and I am putting him because with osimhen mentality we have been able to rally back to give ourselves a chance…

The dragging is too much, and we have not even played on Wednesday, it’s like people are ready to crucify this team, just waiting for Tuesday….


Funny thing, in times like this super eagles will now come out with a stellar performance, they will make you start thinking that criticism brings the best in them.

God of the sabbath day, God of the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, Yahweh Sabaoth, Jehovah I worship You.

Whatever the coach does, he should start a 3 man midfield….

I think this ndidi onyeka with iwobi up top midfield can be decent on Tuesday.


Watching Nigeria against Libya without osimhen, the team created chances upon chances with that midfield and controlled the game from beginning to end.

We only attack from the left part of the pitch most times… I don’t understand why,

So Benin have a pattern they usually concede goals.

Go and watch their matches even up to 5 years ago, this pattern always beat them.

Make the football pitch as wide as possible, the full back must play wide when attacking, dragging one of their defending players outside, then a dribbling winger must consistently seat at the edge of the box to receive the ball and drive in quickly to the middle and shoot at goal or pass to the middle, Benin republic concedes 9/10 with this game play, now chukwueze and Simon should stay at the edge of box to receive the ball, let them not hug the touch line, we would be wasting time and effort, the full backs should do that, we also need the two central defenders to seat back with one holding midfielder, so we can defend counters, not ball watching, the should seat being alert of running opposition players and dangerous channels the can run into.

Another thing, iwobi and ndidi always get tired and confused in the game, then they start loose the balls in dangerous areas, our coaches need to work on this, they toss the ball into running channels for the forwards than loosing the ball in middle, most times one nonsense through ball because they lost the ball, then we have an opposition player face to face with our goalie.

Furthermore we need two proper midfielders, Ndidi and Iwobi in midfield combo should stop, they don’t beat press, they don’t contain pressure, they don’t hold the ball, they are the reason why we are always on pressure to defend and defend, put an extra midfield to improve control of play.

Sad that we don’t even have one decent midfield possession player, we will keep being under pressure till this is sorted.

Sarkin Sarakuna, Sarkin Aljana, Ubangiji Yeshua, Almacihu, Allah Mai Iko, Allah Mai Nasara, Allah Mai Ceto nagode.

And look at our games, Nigerians fullbacks especially from the left do not cut out crosses, we allow wingers have a field day, 9/10 opposing wingers drive into the box, cross or get corners successfully, especially from from the left part of the field.

Benin vs Rwanda…

Benin had a better head to head against Rwanda…


Now Nigeria vs Benin

Nigeria has beaten Benin 9 times, while Benin has beaten us twice, drawing once…


We can beat Benin base on history, they are neighbors we have advantage over.

South Africa knows how bottle qualification same with Benin Republic sha.

Please coach get us a functional midfielder, that protects defense and creates.

Ekong doesn’t inspire, he should it out one way or the other

Can our coach go watch some our previous games , we can’t keep giving the midfield to every team, our midfield had a tired iwobi and ndidi, none of them can beat a press, none of them can hold the ball and move, none of them can beat spaces.


We can’t keep playing like this, that’s why we concede late that’s why we struggle, we need to get the midfield right, football has changed, you can keep tossing balls forward or playing to wings and keep loosing the ball.

We need to start controlling the pace of games, Omoh…

isan:
Depends on the tie breaker CAF or FIFA adopt

it will remain same as it was with Ghana vs Nigeria.


If we win 1-0, we have the game number goals difference and points, then we qualify.

Na nwabali cause this.

In all this, South Africa must not win.

Nwabali, Ekong keep putting us in unnecessary pressure.


I called in the first minute that nwabali was looking too casual, and like a prophet he almost cost us our World Cup today.

I thought Benin won us 2-1 in Ivory Coast..

Meaning if we beat them on our home 1-0, we have an away goal, the same away goal that Ghana used to remove us 2022 when we drew 1-1 at home.

Have the rules changed?

Did nwabali try to fix this match

Nwabali is smoking something.
