Goke7:
If na Uganda now, to carry leg go be problem

phew!

Mumu players 😏😏😏😏

QueenJazz:
Even for a preliminary list, the strikers are waayyyy too much.

E b like say u just wan Dey tackle anything from nff now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But my major surprise is d omission of gift orban from a 54 man list …it’s obvious Deres an issue about his nationality

yinkeys:
26 players listed
NFF would cut cost by making ours 25
They’d then stress or overwork some players like Osimhen in the tournament
We have space for 26 o, our team lost that Afcon 2023 final due to fatigue if you ask me

Left to nff dem fit cut am to 18players 🤣🤣🤣,make dem collect budget for 27players

Napoleon55:
It was the wrong coaches that failed us,Even Chelle would have qualified us with one game to spare,but NFF with their politics and their ineptitude refused to appoint the right coach at the right time.

Chelle is not a top class coach but he is decent enough to reach the final possibly win it.
He is yet to loose a match, is it against Tanzania or against Uganda he would now start losing, I don't think so even though nothing is guaranteed.

The decisions the NFF makes after the AFCON both in terms of their leadership and the actions they take will show whether they are truly serious about rebuilding and improving this team. It’s obvious we are not winning this tournament, but what happens next is what really matters. If the NFF chooses to ignore the problems, sack only the coach, and keep the same old faces and failed structures in place, then we should be prepared for d worst outcome; qualifying for the 2030 World Cup will be very unlikely.

QueenJazz:
"Guaranteed 3 points", just like our WC qualification was guaranteed when we saw the group back in 2023 and wrote off Benin, Lesotho, Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

The earlier we start thinking like minnows, the better for us. Nothing like guaranteed 3 points.

We re already cos what’s d diff between us and chad 🇹🇩,dem no Dey qualify for World Cup ,same us too

Sarsaparilla524:
Eric Chelle must be bold enough to drop old, tired, and unproductive players from the final 27-man list.

Yea … Cameroon 🇨🇲 dropped onana, Vincent ,ngannou ,

BankyGee:
Ademola Lookman GOAL!
🇳🇬🦅🔥

E b like say na to arrest u remain 😏😏😏😏

Sarsaparilla524:
Gift Orban included in Eric Chelle's 51 man's list for AFCON.
He is tipped to replace Tolu in the final 27 man list for AFCON.

Where Una Dey c dis list

Truidstarr:
I no think...I KNOW.

If I give u better decking 😏😏😏

Truidstarr:
Na so. After two nations cup matches, mouth go change.

So with dis present players , u think Dey will at least win one of the afcon tournaments (2027 and 2029)

Philosopher1979:
Ah. The stone that was rejected has become the corner stone.
At this point since we don't even care where you play. Only the okayers contribution to the team. Let us try kelechi nwakali in our midfield. Our midfield to be honest is too average and that was thr major problem against congo. O know nwakali opponents will shout. But....we lack midfielders.

Oga, this is not the time to be clamouring for your favourite player or the one you personally want to see in the team. Rather, it’s about choosing the players who are ready to give their all on the pitch and make maximum impact

Goke7:
Seconded 💯 As for Lookman if he plays rubbish in this Afcon there’s no point inviting him anymore. I used to be one of his strong advocates but that’s over now.

No more advocating for anybody ;aside osimhen ,bassey and to a large extent Fredrick’s…any other person wey do rubbish ,shld not be invited again period ..ENOUGH IS ENOUGH …if u like use teeth 🦷 score goals for ur club ,we no send you if u can’t replicate such form in d national team.we need to be brutal going forward now,no more unnecessary babysitting 🧑‍🍼

Kog45:
Yeye form,form wey he no pick against Congo, imagine Chuckwueze and LOOKMAN come dey do needful for their clubs but against Congo na nonsense Dem dey play

Sincerely those guys are annoying …I think I will start to believe Edafe tagging dem as d worst set of eagles players …zero achievement,nothing for 7 solid years

If i were to be nff, i won’t pressurise chelle dt he must win afcon or at least get to finals,i would rada give him a free hand to select new dedicated players..I don’t care where Dey play ,all i want to c is the zeal and passion to succeed against all odds…I will only retain osimhen, bassey, lookman(although looking him wit one eye in case) , throw in more new players in d midfield and let c what will happen

After all, we av been using the so called best players playing in best leagues yet ,Dey couldn’t qualify for two World Cup tournaments;pathetic

Goke7:
Its truly hurting seeing the kind of form chuks and Lookman has been for their clubs this past week.

Shebi they will be in Afcon to probably play rubbish for us again, phew.

Many of those players don’t understand the weight of what they lost. Those two matches against Ghana and DR Congo that denied us two World Cups will stay with them long after they retire.

BankyGee:
Samuel Chukwueze is the highest rated player on the pitch at halftime 🆚 Tottenham Hotspur! 🚀

1 shot blocked
Most completed dribbles (2/3)
Most key passes (2)

Where him Dey against Congo

Na dis line I go talk till next World Cup 😏😏😏😏

realpoacher:
Whether Nigeria or Gala

No Osimehn, No Party!!!


And it makes me wonder what his teammates at both Club and Country are doing that they can't step in to fill the void whenever he's absent.

Shame on them all

Na osimhen make dem lazy … Osimhen is like that hardworking staff who ends up doing the work meant for others, making the rest look lazy when he’s not around. He’s practically a whole team on his own.

Amedino99:
OGN has a history of milking trending stories that people are really interested in. Im quite sure they have up to 50 stories on that site regarding that south african deduction. I have also read more false than true stories on OGN so i won't even take that story with a pinch of salt.

If Ogn say good morning, my bro try check outside if na true …I am only trying to take d news a bit serious not until osasu is saying something similar…osasu stories most times are true . Still I am not convinced about the rumors

Joebie:
Going by OGN's report could it be both Congo DR and Cameroon?

OGN dey craze sha

FIFA just wan make osimhen play for World Cup if dis rumour comes out true ,I don’t wish for it sha ,cos dis boys no deserve am

Goke7:
Like naija Gala is missing osihmen 😂 no press up front as usual

E b like say osimhen style of play Dey make team lazy and unproductive when missing

AAA593:
All though I'm not in support of super eagles trying to use the back door to qualify for FIFA world cup 2026, but please read the last paragraph before this information you posted. A player name might appear here pending FIFA consideration and approval.

I just pray FIFA approved his change of country before he played against Sudan and other countries.

E b like say something wan happen

typicalgamer:
Tolu no sabi anything and he’s in Europe ??

Same Paul onuachu that’s a failure with super eagles but a mega star on any club he plays for

You guys were the ones claiming he’s notn super eagles material

Same player y’all don’t play to his strengths

The double standard and hipocrisy here stinks

Kini n wi 😏😏

jihday:
at least Onuachu have good holdup play, i remember Peseiro used him to kill off games at last Afcon, he can also use his head

U get …anytime osimhen is tired ,he comes in and hold up the play, win fouls too ,but u c dt tolu ehn, na baddie for pitch , baba no sabi anything

BankyGee:
Paul Onuachu GOAL!
🇳🇬🦅🔥

Even though they re same ,I will prefer dis guy over Tolu 💯 at afcon

Cecco90:
What's this news of Aaron Wan-Bissaka not being eligible to play in the playoffs?

Na rubbish news

Match d’ouverture de la CAN 2010.

Les Aigles du Mali sont menés 4-0 par l’Angola jusqu’à la 78ème minute..

La suite appartient à l’histoire.

Have you seen chukwueze's own: Fulham vs Sunderland pic.twitter.com/LpynnI9LcM

Maybe he is just the one for the RW, just maybe.

Smh …4 someone in eagles since when 😒

DrYa:
It's not the coach.
This same coach picked up the team from low level and has won games even without Victor (in unity cup).
It has to do with the players mentality..
If you bring in Pep, same thing will happen.
I was surprised to see them passing to the back continously and being timid during the Dr Congo game, no fighting spirit.
C'mon..there are players with international exposure, they seriously let us down biko..

Now we re ready to say the truth .Those guys are not good enough.

SymphonyRad:
But when he plays in the national team he will dance atilogwu, abeg...

Bunch of bang average players ,means it will take him another 5 or 6 good games to produce another masterclass

BankyGee:
Brooooo! Chukwueze too good! 🔥

Changed this fucccng game for Fulham off the bench!
𝐔𝐍𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐒𝐓!

Mtweeeeh bro I fit vex deck u o ..wc one be unreal assist ,where him Dey against Congo dr 🤨🤨🤨🤨

joelsteron:
1. Wilfried Ndidi
2. Alex Iwobi
3. Moses Simon

Will Eric Chelle do a quick replacement for these players before AFCON?
These are the current Super Eagles problem but many don't see it.

All d midfield


Iwobi shld be played where he’s been played at his club , like I use to say any coach still relying on iwo I for his creativity hub is a lazy coach

Samueltemi337:
Sanusi is decent
Na midfield be the koko

We need new ideas in dt midfield..we can’t keep recycling dis our usual 5midfielders since 2018 up till now and expect a miracle …. Dey re not good enough .i can tell u for a free dt we won’t qualify for 2030 World Cup if we keep parading dis set of average midfielders dt cant create and transit d ball well

AndSunGorilla:
Is it true Russia is planning an Aba-Made World Cup tournament to include us, Cameroun and other countries? Perhaps, we fit win that one.

lol …Aba made 🤣🤣
