Nigeria is a country of no consequences. Nothing will happen other than crying on social media

Anyway it opens d door for us ..we apply immediately 😎

SolaFide:
It is no rumour that Mr President wants Pep Guardiola as Head Coach of the Super Eagles.
The appointment will score Mr President high political points in the forthcoming elections.

We can’t afford him 😏😏

Nehruvia:
Word on the street is that Eric Chelle is likely leaving before the AFCON Qualifiers. I've done my investigation and close sources are telling me that "you know who" are deeply unsatisfied with Eric Chelle's demands and have no intention to even negotiate, talk less of renewing his contract.

Of course take this with a grain of salt but right now I'm so livid.

cc Symphonyrad

Nff don’t have a choice Dan to renew his contract…they have failed in all ramifications and the only bargaining chips Dey have to calm the Nigerian loving football fans nerve is to extend his contract .They dare not add to their woes of not qualifying for the World Cup


If dem try rubbish with Eric chelle ,nobody in nff will survive the heat

minfelix:
Only 3 out of 10 European teams have managed to win their opening game at the 2026 World Cup so far:

❌ Czechia lost 2-1 to South Korea
🤝 Bosnia drew 1-1 with Canada
🤝 Switzerland drew 1-1 with Qatar
✅ Scotland beat Haiti 1-0
❌ Turkey lost 2-0 to Australia
✅ Germany crushed Curacao 7-1
🤝 Netherlands drew 2-2 with Japan
✅ Sweden beat Tunisia 5-1
🤝 Spain drew 0-0 with Cape Verde
🤝Belgium drew 1-1 with Egypt

Later gattuso and his likes will be saying Europe deserves more slot …mumu man


Meanwhile I just watched my first 10minutes match of Cape Verde 🇨🇻 vs Spain 🇪🇸 of this World Cup tournament,I neva get interest in dis tournament

9JAMac10:
Brazil's aura has been shattered beyond repair after the humiliating loss to Germany In 2014

They have refused to stand up after dt humiliating defeat 😎

9JAMac10:
48 teams at the World Cup is seriously not it. A World Cup should be a competition of the best. Having 48 teams dilutes it

Something Dey re already looking at increasing to 64 😃

elyte89:
If I were president, I would order the Super Eagles and everyone involved in the World Cup qualifiers to gather in a heavily secured conference room in Nigeria and watch every South Africa and DR Congo match ,the groups they could have been part of had they qualified. I’d make sure the disappointment really sinks in and suspend their holidays until both teams are eliminated from the tournament.

MUMU PLAYERS 🙄😏

They even deducted three points from this poor South African team, yet we still couldn’t right our wrongs. And no NFF member has lost his job for failing us. This is embarrassing. 🙈

lbrichman2:
Baba that goal na clean goal

If the whole ball crossed the line..d ref gadget will beep ..so it wasn’t a goal .

Dt Akpan guy is decent defensively but Abdullahs better offensively

We had no business missing the World Cup. If someone had told me two years ago that Nigeria wouldn’t be at the 2026 World Cup, I would have laughed and said they knew nothing. With 10 African teams qualifying, it’s unbelievable that Nigeria wil not be among them. That’s absurd. Those mumu players kept dropping points and settling for draws against so-called minnows, and now we’re paying the price. 😢🇳🇬 it’s so painful mehn

WarHammer2000:
"Rohr is hiding his real tactics for the main tournament"😁

lol ,myopic excuse 😁😁

Mujtahida:
The way Benjamin Frederick is loved ehn. Chai people too like that boy.

😏😏😏😏🙄🙄🙄🙄, please get me a grade A national team after the World Cup

zicky:
that has been our mode of operation... No need to rush them', that's how we lose out on most of this dual players. but we see other top countries rushing this young players.

Dis guy no wan gree…zadok no be dual player ..we re talking about zadok here ,e no get choice ,so by default he will play for us except if he’s not fit or not playing regularly for his club

charlesemeka85:
mk we hear word bros abeg

Which Zadok is like Olise? Zadok is not different from Samuel Chukwueze and Madueke while Azeez is more similar to Olise the reason Chelle deployed him as an AM in his debut for us

Mk una leave Chukwueze alone, na same una go chop Madok raw with out salt and pepper if em no do well for super eagles team

If not chukwueze inconsistencies ,I don’t c the hype around this zadok guy…chukwueze was far better and showed more potentials Dan him during his time,but na inconsistencies kill dt one progress

zicky:
that's the difference between us and this European countries. Leagues all over the world are on break, nothing bad asking him to join the boys even if he's not going to play, it won't cost anything. He mustn't be a Messi or Ronaldo. Europe countries are calling up very young players just to be in camp with the senior players, make them feel important and wanted.

All that can happen in September..no need to rush the young man

Amedino99:
To be fair there wont be much setlling down since most of the players are out for end of season holiday and world cup duties. Nothing much will happen until brighton starts preseason. Why not play this match if he can secure a visa to wherever they are playing the match. Its still two days away.

Settling down doesn’t only have to do with the club , what about d environment and all …abegi his presence dere or not won’t really change anything ,he’s not Messi or CR7 …the guys dere will do d job to their best ability.

ChrisKels:
Since the deal has been sealed, is it late for Zadok to join the boys preparing to face Portugal?

For what reason? Not necessary,it’s just a friendly..let him settle down with his new club ,he can always come around for the September afcon qualifiers

Danielnino00:
To be fair, with regards to your second point, we can't entirely blame the NFF...
The NFF doesn't own or control any pitch in Nigeria... They only make use of the ones available..
The real blame should be on the government through the National Sports Commission who have continued to neglect our national stadiums...
It's shameful that we constantly have to depend on a state government owned stadium in Akwa Ibom to bail us out while leaving Federal Government owned stadiums in Abuja and Lagos in bad conditions..


Modified...
The part I'll really blame the NFF on was their appointment of Finidi... Worst still, they allowed him turn the national team to an experiment ground for NPFL players during a crucial world cup qualifier...

From the structure..NSC /NFf work together,Dey re like twins ..Dey need to come together and give us a 2 grade A STANDARD FOOTBALL PITCH with flood lights where we can host qualifiers by 6pm earliest ..I can bet it with u ,dt with a good playing surface under the right weather condition even if finishdi is the coach …I can say authoritatively that we would defeat any average African side at home …our poor home result in wcq since 2022 is our greatest undoing and if this pattern continues we would still struggle to qualify or might not even qualify but of course ,our nff don’t learn ..I av noticed this poor result home games since 2022 World Cup qualifiers.we need to change that pattern by addressing it ,if not we re not going to qualify for the 2030 World Cup even if pep guardiola is our coach

Truidstarr:
It's not NFF's fault. They did their best.

I would say it’s 60percent nff’s fault …Dey couldn’t play the political side of the game(allowing South Africa to play us on a bad pitch ;coupled with allowing South Africa to host other countries games in our group in their home (ANY NORTH AFRICAN FA WOULD NEVA ALLOW SUCH)


Number 2 …even our so called best pitch (to national stadium)🏟️ doesn’t have a smooth surface playing pitch for our European boys to excel well: we can’t compare the pitch we experienced in Morocco 🇲🇦 last afcon to uyo stadium. This number 2 issue needs to be fixed asap ,or else we might not qualify for the next World Cup ..this stadium issue also affected us in 2022 World Cup qualifiers..I have noticed the wcq result pattern (we hardly win at home due to point raised above)

SymphonyRad:
Watching Tunisia vs Belgium right now and my God, Tunisia look just awful...it's obvious their template at this world cup will be park the bus and insha Allah, just a utterly diabolical team to watch.

Na only qualifier dem sabi play … make dem put Brazil 🇧🇷, england 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 for deir afcon or World Cup qualifier group ,Dey would find a way to qualify but In a proper tournament,dem be mumu

TheSuperNerd:
It is really a big dent on Zaidu Sanusi who for all his experience dropped an atrocious display today. Even a 1st Cap rookie, Bewene totally outshone you hands down!!!

Zaidu... Zaidu... Zaidu..... Your GWG time is almost up.

Zaidu is an idiot ..I wonder how he still plays or ended in fc Porto …he should be playing in Malta 🇲🇹 by now ..dt right back is decent

Okoye kept us in dis game ..he saved two close chances at a time …also saved lewa big chance created by Zaidu


My big revelation tonight was our right back ..he was decent

Anybody dt doesn’t our right back tonight no sabi watch ball…he was decent and played better Dan the two experienced left backs …dt Zaidu na mumu ,he plays like he’s an amateur



The right back passed his edition ..I will give him a solid 6.5/10

Subzero047:
Make we dey look

JUST IN: Barcelona has been keeping an eye on Víctor Osimhen for a while,
but Galatasaray will only hear offers from €140m. @yagosabuncuoglu #Transfers 🇳🇬🔎

TheSuperNerd:
See men dem. My Super Eagles! 😎

Where dem Dey against dr Congo 🙄😏

Subzero047:
If Osihmen makes a big announcement through Bernese I will look at him somehow

Remember he sponsored the girl to turkey 🇹🇷,so chelle might know what’s going on

What could be the announcement

Goke7:
So the players too don’t get injured when they play for their clubs? We will say the clubs are not managing them well too? Is it not injury playing for club that made osihmen miss some of our World Cup qualifiers?

This your point no enter as injury can occur playing for country or club. As the clubs protect their interests we too as a country has our interests to protect too. Atletico bought Lookman following a spectacular performance at the last Afcon.

Dts y chelle is beefing up the team ,he doesn’t want anyone one to hold us “hostage”…if u Dey fine,if u no Dey,we Dey play on


Most especially dt striking area ,If Deres no osimhen ,we re in trouble

lbrichman2:
Chelle's interview where he confirmed their absences.
He seems to understand the situation for both players, but na we the fans carry the matter for head like gala..

Watch here..

Eric Chelle confirms that Ademola Lookman & Victor Osimhen won't be available for the Poland & Portugal friendlies. pic.twitter.com/UlHCntxG1r

— POOJA!!! (@PoojaMedia) May 31, 2026

I think it’s more of miscommunication…u no say chelle no too sabi speak English..I doubt if osimhen is leaving gala

Samueltemi337:
For someone that is 3 goals away from breaking the record?

No matter aw we want to shy away from the truth ,it’s obvious that osimhen selects games he plays for Nigeria 🇳🇬,he doesn’t even like playing friendlies,however he’s far better Dan our so called legends den dt deliberately picked games even among important matches

ChrisKels:
I hope Jamaica beats India because it would be embarrassing watching Nigeria play against India. Jamaica would be a more worthy opponent.

I actually want india 🇮🇳 final ,so we can bury this long fable of 99-1 🙄
