DRC will likely play two more games at the intercontinental playoffs, as they won't be seeded.

Call me petty and childish, but yes, I'm rooting for Jamaica, Panama and Costa Rica to finish as second place teams at the playoffs and hopefully knock out DRC. 🤧

I honestly think DRC only beat Cameroon and Nigeria because the latter two teams were absolutely trashbags.

I won't put it past Panama or Costa Rica to silence them in Mexico. Say what you want about them, but on average, CONCACAF teams are roughly similar to B-tier CAF teams like DRC, SA and Angola in terms of ability and physicality.

we played trash yesterday… all this hyping of drc , just watch how Iran or South Korea without any physical strength with give them 3-0 easily..

Nigeria was trash yesterday, like didn’t mark, we didn’t position to receive ball, just playing back passes, even with our trash we got penalties…

Physicality is good o, but it’s 30 percent in modern football, brain will always win.

Too bad our brains like Iwobi, Simon, Chukwueze, look man decided to be absolute trash…

Drc are at best very average.

semid4lyfe:
Even if Xavi, Iniesta amd Busquets played for us yesterday, they would have been ineffective.

DR Congo were a far better and superior ball playing side, and it showed yesterday.

The way DR Congo dominated us yesterday is reminiscent of how Algeria totally dominated and outplayed us in AFCON 2019 semifinal.

oga wetin you dey talk na, if we had xavi iniesta and busquet, drc would be trashed.

You guys will be hyping average teams because super eagles are underperforming, super eagles sold the game, Ethiopia beat this Drc month ago, Senegal came from two goal to beat this people, they are not good, we just messed up abeg, we played very badly.

Iwobi number one culprit

Alagbada Ina, Olowogbogboro, Onishe Iyanu, Eledumare, Oba awon oba, Oba ogo, Kiniwu Judah, Jesus Christ is Lord.

Iwobi simon time to go, they consistently refuse to step up.

So without Osimhen no football yea, no na Osimhen eagles, such embarrassing performances not against Brazil or Argentina, Congo Dr, outplaying for almost 90 minutes because you don’t have osimhen, none of Simon chukwueze, Iwobi lookman could step, not even of of them, and that’s the reason we are here in the playoffs because of such mediocre players like them with weak mentality.

In a Final where you drop it and give all like you want it, see them casually strolling…

Simon should be banned from that team…

For so long very mediocre, what does he even add to the team?

Leadership zero, drive zero, assist just once in a while, goals no, nothing just to loose penalties that could have won us the game.

Meanwhile super eagles should not blame fans for being indifferent about them from now on…

Too much heart breaks.

2022 to Ghana
2024 to Ivory Coast
2025 to DRC

In as much as the NFF has their part, the players have refused to step up when it matters. Infact if they like they should win Afcon I no send them for now, till I see them actually really dominating and playing, not just in AFRICA but the world then I can believe in them, the fans have given a lot, we defend them, hype them, have faith even in unimaginable situations but they keep breaking fans heart.

As per super eagles of this generation, they signed off, they are not worth it, they are babies and flunked it when it matters, there are not ready to warriors, let them keep being babies, they do not deserve any support till they earn it with a consistent run of good performances… I can’t believe or trust them, Infact I expect to loose any game they play now because they proven to be chickens, even if they win they are still chickens, when they are ready to soar like eagles, they whole word will see.

What are we doing in a nonsense playoff in the first place? If not their embarrassing poor football, only osimhen, Benjamin, sometimes Bassey has shown real class, quality and intent, people like iwobi, Moses should be kicked out , tired of their mediocrity in the National team.

We need to actually design youth programs to develop ball playing midfielders, like scout them young, profile them, train them and the gifted ones push them into our cadet teams…

Like selective breeding since we don’t naturally produce proper ball playing midfielders, we must be intentional about it.

Enough of the nonsense and mediocrity, if we have just two proper midfielders, we will be dispatching teams and qualifying with ease…

Tbh I am tired of Iwobi , he has really not added anything spectacular to our football, if he is not playing on the wings, he should sit it out..

He is very uninspiring, and as a senior player, has never stepped up…

Mujtahida:
I dread Sunday evening football

Cameroun v. Nigeria in 2000

CIV last Afcon

Today.

didn’t we in win Afcon on Sunday 2013, this are not issues jare , Nigeria has to fix structures,,we neeed to decide if we want to actually progress and join the best or keep the trying our luck thing with mediocre structures.

Where is under 17? where under 20? where under 23? Where is the league, all we want is for super eagles to keep performing so we can be using them to cover very poor structures, no please….

Again our midfield can not keep having iwobi and Ndidi…

We could win the game with that 1-0, same at Afcon but players like Iwobi keep costing us with his poor mentality…

Tbh no need to crash , we need a hard reset on our male football…

We just dey patch things , even the Afcon what are we going to there?

Let’s just pack it up on male football at all levels and reset our football….

This was the same thing that happened AFCON final we just switched off and we lost…

This is absolutely nonsense, if DRC is outclassing you, then no need to go to the World Cup, when we can start beating teams properly we will go…

Our players are not really fighting, tolu playing casually, he needs to do more

meanwhile if we loose NFF will now get the proper dragging they deserve…

But we win I know it…

AKor Adams goal

Na this back passes dey pain me with poor marking…,

I really can’t wrap my head around why we are not marking and just inviting them to come at us..

Like mark the ball , we ware watching oh boy

This is terrible

We should have won this 1-0

We messed up conceding that goal tbh

Osimhen going off is a huge psychological loss, your best player is always an advantage

They give us a lot of time for long balls from the back which we could use to punish them Haba, if you have to, remove semi Shay, bring awaziem, tell slot and ejike to keep running to the channel at the wing while run those long balls… at least use what you have tactically

lol Nwabali

You can see how we now look more purposefully after that annoying iwobi was removed..

Remove iwobi tell your players to remember who they are and fight…

Omoh

Kai osimhen going out don give Congo mind, see mbeba pushing forward to our half lol..

Wetin e no go try if osimhen dey

Remove Alex Iwobi I have been shouting this, he is the problem…

Remove iwobi and we will play better…

Iwobi is the most annoying I will not lie, year after year, does not step up like a senior player he is…

Are they playing to loose, was there a fight in the dressing room?

I can’t explain what’s happening lol…

Like they are intentionally playing to loose now

Iwobi also switched off to n Afcon Final, doing exactly the same today…
