Lesotho straight to 2nd on points with Benin
SA goes down to 4th.

This might ginger Benin to want to get a win by all means to get 11points. Either way, a W for us today gives us 2nd or 3rd, depending on the outcome of the Lesotho game.

Omo!! This is sweet. Mokoena palava. Official reaction to it suppose dey before our Zimbabwe game.


As for Boniface, if he fails to score today, I'm out of support for him. That drought is too long abeg.

the guy na bastard

Olise dey try impress with France. But this Eze ehn...... Chai.

minfelix:
even cameroon dey looseguard…Cape verde is leading them and they also have angola in that group

I watched what Cape Verde dey do. Those guys are super technical abeg. They way they move in the box and how they trust each other's judgement, i wish we have that.

I saw the Egypt game and i was wondering how too many shots on target.... Omo!

Also watched the senegal and Sudan game... Those guys sabi defend and rely on aerial passes. It's their forte.

Mujtahida:
Leave am. We need, them to be on the fringes of the England team so we can use them as object lessons in the future.

😂😂😂😂
Target practice things! 😂😂😂😂

In all sincerity, we are moving on too fast.

We need to know the guys that sat round that table and decided that Finidi George was the best fit to give something as a crucial World cup qualifiers to. Today we only heap blame on FG, but whoever those guys were in the NFF, we need to know their names so we can mark it for having terrible judgement despite the fact that we missed out in 2022. That ought to set a precedent on how fragile the wcq should be taken. That ought to inspire and influence their decision making. But, they decided on FG and now here we are.


Now, if anything sup, they'll probably be the 1st to heap blame on the players when in fact, it is their ineptitude that contributed to all these palava.


Suddenly, their faith in Chelle go kon high as if no be them sabotage this whole process.


They are saboteurs. They should be ashamed of themselves. Yeah we will face front but that will be too easy on them. Such crew should be far away from our football.


Heck they can't even decide a coach for the Super Falcons till now. Smh

Tunisia
CIV
Sudan


These countries dey vex for back o.

Ebere Eze just dey waste time for England. Smh. Guy for dey ball alongside Iwobi by now, with Onyeka behind both. He'll be on some telepathy with Lookman by now.

Na 2 2 mins and so he wan use do till 5years complete and na 90mins total he play for 3 Lions?

This Madrid Female team are good mehn. Will we be able to reverse that 2-0 like this? Anyways, hope.

The leaders of this country

Mujtahida:
Mtchewww wetin Sudan wan go do for World Cup? Abeg oo

Maybe Senegal wan use playoff qualify. Cos as i said earlier, group B and C na mess up group from two west African champs. They fumbled gaan. Nigeria is recovering. As for Senegal though..... The Teranga Lions need to gbera abeg

At this rate, one of Osimhen or Isak>>>>>

The rest can goan chill. Or get a lesser one as Backup the way Dem Firmino and Jota be that year.

#HaleEnd

Bobo score and i saw that fake number 7 trying to tap him as though he had a hand in the setup. Keane don dey enter that number 7 sha. 😂😂😂

If MLS perform vs Madrid, just know that Perez go begin dey look am as the new Marcelo😂😂😂😂😂😂

Madrid will even try drop interest in Saliba for him.


Imagine a Madrid with two English fullbacks-MLS and TAA.

Omo!!

elyte89:
lol …it’s not possible ,paradventure Nigeria qualifiers ,Dey will now substitute deir names for ppu who laboured hard …dis one no be late keshi time o…eyes don open ,

Na naija we dey now. Lol. I'll rather project it strongly due to precedence and let then do the opposite than say they cant and they'll just shock us all.

😂

jihday:
please leave Osaze to continue enjoying his golf, he’s a very disruptive person. I see him as a lesser version of Oliseh

How do you mean? Same set with Oliseh? Ahhh.

jihday:
this is my fear with having an all-timer in your squad, their replacement/backup always look very bad, when we had Okocha in the team his backups/replacements always looked really bad, the drop off is always too evident

I dunno if it is lack of tactical setup though. Cos if someone like Loew or Renard is our manager, he'll find replacements and setup to their strengths when the main guy is unavailable or down. We need to scout gaaan. I believe Chelle is on it sha.

minfelix:
ndidi is on yellow card Vs Rwa
Iwobi is on yellow card vs Rwa
Tolu is on yellow card vs Rwa
Osai Samuel yellow card Vs SA
Sadiq Ismail yellow card vs Ben
Ajayi yellow card vs Les

our guys need to be careful vs Zimbabwe, we need everyone in september fixtures vs Rwanda and Vs SA

Just Iwobi and Osayi need to be most careful here. If Onyeka returns, I won't miss Ndidi

Starboytwo:
83 caps, damn. Almost 100.

Definitely he will set new record. Wow.

Modified.

Really, just checked Wikipedia now. Iwobi is number 7 on the top ten list for 9ja. Just 5 matches kpere below the great Muda Lawal (only African player to go 5 consecutive Afcon 76-84) and kanu on 86 caps.

Although I'm seeing 81 caps on Wikipedia for Iwobi.. (himself follow play the Togo match? )

By December he should be closer to 100 than to 90. I want the goals to flow too. Will Chelle allow him? This role Peseiro gave though. I hope Chelle have more advanced ideas for him like Rohr?

Mujtahida:
Iwobi deserves plaudits.

I recall his game vs Zambia that year. Omo, Brown Ideye regen is needed abeg. That guy was selfless and a team player that year under Rohr until...


Iwobi deserve to get 20goals before he hangs the boots. I hope he gets on scoring for Super Eagles again. It will be a bigger way to bow out.

Truidstarr:
Una go just dey criticize player. Chukwueze played to instructions yesterday. He was more effective off the ball than on the ball. He was drifting from his wing to help out in the middle, his dribbling was limited yesterday so as not lose the ball and put Osayi Samuel under pressure.

Which Instructions? Sotey they comot am shapali?


So it is instructions that made Osimhen go back to help defend his LB while same Chuks was busy strolling in Rwanda half? It is instructions that made Iwobi to cross to his zone and be pressing players while he watched like say na him be Linesman?


He was terrible off the ball. Everyone pressed yesterday except him. He will do everything that will jeopardize the attack lately. He will take on 3 shirts like Sterling and lose the ball and refuse to rush to recover that very ball he just lost. At least Sterling dey pass back nowadays.


Chuks needs to up his game. Simon Moses was on this table until criticism and analysis got through and he kept things simple and cool and he had a sweet Afcon for that. Since 2019.... what's the Chuks influence that stuck to memory and he did it again? E reach him na "play to instructions" be excuse?? Habaaa.


He really needs to get back up. He may assist once once, but that overall game needs an upgrade and most especially, some competition.

elyte89:
I fear 4 some players in eagles most especially some dt didn’t make d lis(aside d untested players and onyeka) ,Dey shld start sending in deir retirement letters eg Ahmed musa ,iheanacho and co


Even some dt made d list will b weeded out later when chelle gets his right personnel,most especially d midfield dept

Don't be shocked that someone somewhere might want them both to "bow out honorably" with World Cup attendance to their names again.

The consistency of Alex Iwobi. 83 caps and captain band never near am? Vice at least. Guy has come a long way in that midfield. He met maestros there, they left. He became a force. Then he had his dip period and is still here. Acrosss Rohr, Peseiro and now Chelle, he's a starter. 10goals though. That shooting just the issue.

Newbies are on the block and they still can't give what he's got.

I pray dem Ebenezer, Eletu, Daga and co come through sha. I do pray

Sugarboyy:
Them nor wan buy fuel ⛽ for filling station

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

BankyGee:
Na Nathan Tella village people wan wound that one, na him supposed dey play there now.

Make he go faya prayer o. He needs 30mins at least in the qualifiers for starters

Unlimited22:
Nathan Tella probably doesn't have people praying for him.

E suppose don lock that slot down by now.

I've even forgotten Tella dey. Chai. Wetin dey worry am sef.

Sugarboyy:
Or they coach should invite and try akpom?
Even Maja was a good player then

At this rate, trial and error is welcome.


Why they no fit queue sef? 😂😂😂😂😂

Mujtahida:
Ekong na gem. I look forward to seeing him as a coach of the SE.

The leadership qualities of the last 4 foreign borns in the Super Eagles are not utilized in administrative capacities. By now, they should have some level of function in NFF. But here we are. Imagine Osaze and Balogun working in any capacity for Nigerian football by now. But here we are. I dunno.

BankyGee:
We lost to Benin without Osimhen - He came and we won 3–0
We drew Rwanda one leg and lost the second without Osimhen starting both legs - He started this one and we won 0–2
We drew Zimbabwe without Osimhen - Are you seeing the pattern? 😏

Another cleansheet win 💪🏾💪🏾

At this rate, It is really up to Chelle to find a 2nd striker that will play regular games and allow Osimhen sit them out. No meed to invite him. He's proven himself. The search for a 2nd reliable striker starts now. We can't even beat chest and say oya o, see this guy, he can deputize Osimhen and no need for fear. All the ones currently available, if they start then for 90mins, Ademola Lookman will outshine them.

Then there's this brewing issue with the wing.

If winger dey NPFL or English Championship abeg make they get chance. Chuks is offffff. Offers no threat. Abi he wan dey go the Sterling route ni?

All the games we drew, we must get W against those teams. No excuses

Sugarboyy:
If not for Peseiro and Finidi, what would we be looking for in the position we are now? Imagine they played 4 games , drew 3 and lost one, they won none. Ordinarily these teams, Rwanda, Lesotho and Zimbabwe are supposed to be beating home and away and that's what will happen with this new coach and the spirit he has brought to the team. There is no way SA can beat Benin away, I'm very sure. I won't even be surprised if Benin beats them

i tell you. Chai. What a fix.
