Granted, the best we have struggle to get results. How does this excuse the return of people like Uzoho who is clearly and obviously ten times worse than Okoye?

You do realize that as it stands, if anything should happen to Nwabali at the tournament, we're going home immediately? I expect him to be heavily targeted by opposing teams.

From what I have read so far …it was okoye dt excused himself if he can’t be guaranteed a starting spot

Goke7:
😂 someone wake me up when they get to semi final, wish them the best!

Even d ones wey dem wan c ,shey e sure say dem go do well ?


Abi no b those mumu draw Lesotho 🇱🇸,Zimbabwe for home …shior

CornOak:
This list doesn't inspire hope nor confidence, almost unbelievable. I will watch the tournament with a free and open mind with no emotions attached.

Good luck to them.

D one wey inspire hope …wetin we achieve ,no World Cup ,nothing abeggi ..no difference, let’s rebuild

AndSunGorilla:
On a serious note, all slots should be used judiciously. Worst case is to use it to build for tomorrow. What future are we building with a 31 year old?

Like I said nff slots Dey …d inclusion of akinsanmiro and nnamdi in dt middle is a good idea for me ..

GodOfBanter:
So it's Usman Muhammad and Salim Fago that will carry us ba? Are you being silly on purpose? What kind of werey question is this?

None of the above will guarantee us a good outcome in afcon ..so abeg durosinmi and Uche no be messi neida usman and fago

GodOfBanter:
Absolutely trash and rubbish list compiled by NFF. Chelle had nothing to do with this. I don't want to believe he did.

Rafiu Durosinmi and Chrisantus Uche being left out for Usman Muhammad (who the flying heck is this clown?!!) and Salim Fago is absolutely unforgivable.

This team will be lucky to smell semi-finals.

All dis names won’t guarantee us d afcon jare,what difference would Dey make , abegi let’s flow with dis team

Samueltemi337:
And Usman Muhammad?

U don’t want nff to have some slot in d list …Dey play ..at least nff will have 3-4 slots

Aside salim fago , I have no questions about others ..it shows chelle is already working with how his team would look like in the nearest future…

charlesemeka85:
I always pray for the lad to make the leap to a big league where his talent will be shown to the whole world because if it’s for talent he has it

So glad to hear he is doing great in the colors of Zulte in the Belgian top flight

When I saw him at u-20 ,I knew d guy was a baller ,he played far above his mate football IQ , he has dis midfield aura and energetic moves when playing .he doesn’t hide and he carries d ball well.i pray d move materialise and c what he can do in a top league

charlesemeka85:
⚒️ West Ham are set to launch a January bid and contract offer for SV Zulte Waregem star Tochukwu Nnadi 👀

FOUR other Premier League clubs are also interested in the 22-year-old midfielder... #WHUFC @FrazFletcher

A good central midfielder…I can’t wait for him
To be a starter in eagles set up and chase away d likes of ndidi and iwobi away ..tired of those two

Sarsaparilla524:
Aside from being a good passer of the ball, nothing special about Onyedika. I will still pick Nwakali ahead of him any time, any day.

Austin Eguavoen did not play him, Jose Poseiro did not play him, and Eric Chelle is not playing him. They can't be all wrong.

Ebenezer Akinsanmiro will start games at Afcon, and Onyedika still sits on the bench.

There’s a reason why he’s not moving from
Clubbe Brugge

Amedino99:
just like uche agbo ( not sure i got his name correct). That dm that rohr used to call everytime but will never use.

Dt one worse …na 4 or 5 midfielders rohr Dey invite den
Mikel ,ndidi, etebo ,Ogu and Agbo ..iwobi was listed as forwards

Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali is a HUGE DOUBT for AFCON 2025

• Benjamin Frederick - Out
• William Troost-Ekong - Retired
• Stanley Nwabali - Doubtful

#AFCON2025

Or is Tosin coming to replace ekong directly in d list ?

Blueelf:
when i was saying this several years ago, you're one of those that laughed as they mocked me

your eyes never begin blur and you never even start to cry sef

Na just patriotism blind most of us ,and d love for super eagles Wc is normal..cos on a normal day aw can u rate a player dt u call ur creative hub and such a player cant even create or score in his last 20games for his country…later we would blame it on eagles set up …Yinmu,same player has played under diff national coaches yet no result ,same excuse


Na dt ndidi useless pass ,I can count his good games with my fingers since he debuted for super eagles


If I were to be coach today, I will stop inviting ndidi with immediate effect,as for iwobi …I will give him 5matches to proof himself in d same role he plays in his club,if he doesn’t perform ,no more invitation..my first assignment is to revamp dt midfield dept …not even Ronaldo delima will
Function properly with d personnel we av in dt midfield

Truidstarr:
Calm down no worry. Everything go work e self out in due time. Relax.

After almost 8years …not with these set of players and mentality

Truidstarr:
😂😂😂😂 U never still recover?

No b by recover…this guys are not good enough,look at iwobi stat,last 20games 4 super eagles no assist ,no goal from our so called “only creative player “,yet we keep playing him in dt same position and we want to qualify
Ndidi…. All thru is career till now ,he hasn’t scored a goal for us

And na dis mumu players be our first options ,4 aw long are we going to be stuck in dis mediocrity 😏

MKPUOGALIGA:
Yes, I had always hammered it here for years that Ndidi is veey poor. Him and Iwobi are the reasons SE has been poor for years. But , like you said he will not retire because that's all he got. Without SE Ndidi will be forgotten because his club career is winding down.

We got to afcon final wout ndidi ..so he won’t be missed one bit …any player aside osimhen,bassey and d young fredricks, they can decide to retire…we don’t give a F anymore …useless set of players

jihday:
super eagles❌
super ogbono ✅

Very annoying set of players , I am sure by now , Dey will be biting deir fingers I’,imagine drawing at home against Lesotho 🇱🇸 and Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 (sure 6points) MUMU PLAYERS , bang average,

JohnBullMySon:
No I wasn’t. I said 50/50. If you listened to the SA coach after FIFA deducted those points you’ll notice that he collaborated the statement I made earlier on it. FIFA officials actually missed the mokoena yellow and struggled to deduct the points that’s why it delayed that much. The match commissioner didn’t have it on record and that reminder was not passed on to SA who like other African teams had grown used to not doing their own internal processes cos of FIFA reminders.

This time there’s no sports outlet at all reporting on any infraction only one journalist saying nothing specific.

The problem is that you guys have been so intrigued by our lucky breaks that you think Nigeria just has to be at the World Cup. Nigerian officials are probably scrutinizing DRC new players and speculating. It’s probably an NFF official that is feeding that journalist with faint hope not as if there’s an actual investigation by FIFA on anything.

Mind u …d news is not even about drc ..dem say na one francophone speaking country …someone said it’s Senegal 🇸🇳 dt made d blunder ;further saying drc will go automatically while Nigeria goes for playoff …but still I am not buying the story …we no Dey go anywhere

JohnBullMySon:
UEFA qualifiers has not finished yet and Intercontinental playoffs is still yet to be played.

Una mind go still touch ground

Even though I don’t want to believe it too..but if na u ,no be so u were hell bent dt fifa won’t deduct SA THREE POINTS 🙄🙄

solonnachi:
Victor Osimhen and Benjamin Frederick must go to 2026 World cup. When Shina Okeleji first reported it I knew something was cooking. And when I saw yesterday's draws with some groups with only three teams, it was a confirmation.

I noticed from Wikipedia that Wan Bissaka played friendly matches for DRC before he was cleared to start playing officially. Is that right?

Only osasu reported it na

jihday:
Mexico, South Africa and South Korea

Imaging …5 damn draws out of 10 games …sighs

Had it been we won against Lesotho 🇱🇸 in uyo..we would av been dere,maybe maybe


Oloshi ni nff ati awon players wah

QueenJazz:
You wan boycott the World Cup? 😂

If possible…..we av no reason not to be in dis World Cup ….a whole 10 slot for Africa,and we can’t even be among the 10slots …Haba …d pain Neva come now,let’s finish afcon and World Cup preview begins , Una go cry 😢

QueenJazz:
Watching this FIFA WC qualifying draw is bittersweet.

I no fit watch am 🥲

CornOak:
Osimhen scores for Gala.

Mtweeeh😏😏😏

What’s this storm

joelsteron:
Ndidi, Moses .....next

Iwobi ,after afcon ….i suspect Ola Aina and ademola lookman too might retire after afcon


Some players won’t retire but might not be called up again after afcon , d likes of awaziem,ajayi

JohnBullMySon:
Lol manage your expectations sha. AFCON too is not easy. Morocco is winning the AFCON. My prediction.

Morocco 🇲🇦 wey go jah for second round 🤣

joelsteron:
Safe to say Captain Ndidi and Captain Ekong are why Nigeria failed to qualify for world cup. End

Both culprit for the draw against Zimbabwe 🇿🇼,ekong culprit for d draw against South Africa 🇿🇦 and NDIDI NAILED IT WITH THE BLUNDER AGAINST DR CONGO 😢😢
