There are integrity issues already with the wcq, especially in our group. Even if this rule is eventually applied, why it has taken this long is an indictment already.
This one is not new …I think is caf problem not fifa …this happened too prior to Qatar 🇶🇦 2022 ,d opponents in Morocco 🇲🇦 group played most of their matches in Morocco 🇲🇦…na caf Dey do dt rubbish not fifa ..They organise d wcq competitions as a body under FIFA . FIFA no fit Dey everywhere na ..

Meanwhile when it comes to CAF , South Africa 🇿🇦 and Morocco 🇲🇦 are above caf rules .they dictate everything in caf ..that’s my observation

Babe, we have fumbled this right from the beginning and at this time we can only hold on to any hope we have.

SA losing 4 points in the final 2 games might just do d trick. And there is a chance of this happening. That SA team doesn't seem to hv xter to me.

If they fail to beat Zimbabwe in Rwanda and Rwanda at home this will open up a whole new permutation of possibilities especially with the three points deduction.

Believe me, if any of Nigeria, Benin or Rwanda finishes 3 points below SA, the 3 points deduction will be shouted to the highest heavens till fifa does something and a whole lot of association and confederation globally will be sympathetic to it .
I think they re playing in South Africa 🇿🇦..I mean d game with Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

QueenJazz:
Even if those points are docked by FIFA, then what? At this stage, how does it benefit us? Are we seriously expecting South Africa to lose to either Rwanda or Zimbabwe?

This 3-point deduction stuff was more interesting when we hadn't played SA yet and there was a chance we would actually win all out remaining matches. Right now I find it hard to be excited about it. Should they deduct it? Obviously yes, if they don't want to appear shady and commit robbery in broad daylight. But how does it affect us at this point? How does it salvage our position?

On an unrelated note, please who the heck is Abdullahi Shitu that is supposedly from Man City playing for us in the upcoming U-20 world cup? Never heard of him. Plus, he's non-existent on Google apart from recent news reports of the Flying Eagles list. Which Man City is he playing for? Is it the one in England or somewhere else?
If Dey deduct it now, I can tell u dt it will
Affect South Africa 🇿🇦 psychologically besides i doubt if SA will defeat Rwanda 🇷🇼 at home..best bet is a draw

Osasu Obayiuwana is a proven and respected Voice in African football Journalism. So na him dey that studio. Very good.

Idah Peterside on point all the way.

Raymond, a neutral and sound authority on all things legal within FIFA and CAF hit the nail on the head. Someone is playing cards with those 3 pts.... FIFA cannot and will not escape their own rules NO MATTER HOW LONG THEY DELAY.

Raymond pointed out twice in this video and clearly too that in all his years of legal football experiences with CAS and all that, he has never seen FIFA drag their feet this much on a decision for just one game.

Time will tell coz if those 3 pts are not gone, a dangerous precedent is set.

Thanks man. Enjoyed every minute of this.
From ur last option FIFA HAS two options …to do the right thing and deduct d points


Or Damn it and soil their reputation


Infact dt Nigerian 🇳🇬 case osasu highlighted is what is given FIFA headache 🤕,cos it’s d same thing (same way Algeria 🇩🇿 didn’t protest, it’s d same way Lesotho 🇱🇸 too didn’t protest and Dey acted INDEPENDENTLY to dock the points .so no hiding place for dem to do OJORO 🤣🤣🤣

I forgot to add that Okon's interview was beautiful. I dont know if you saw it right after his heats win.
They told him he had big names in his heat and he still won, wasnt he fazed? Okon answered, "I'm not scared of anyone. I have two legs, they also have two legs..."

Naija Energy! Lol
Who do u suggest to replace Aina in d next coming wcq and hopefully for “play offs “ if we eventually qualify

Rwanda is also pushing for the 3 points deduction against South Africa. They believe they have a chance if they can win their remaining two matches and the 3 points are deducted.
Rwanda 🇷🇼 even stand a better chance Dan Benin 🇧🇯 if d three points are deducted.it will be easier for a camel 🐪 to pass. Thru a thread 🪡 Dan Benin 🇧🇯 defeating Rwanda 🇷🇼 at Kigali ..and once Dey get d result …dey will be very motivated to battle against South Africa 🇿🇦 in dt last match

Rwanda might actually beat thwm if they lose guard.. that tram beat them 2-0 first leg. My own worry is Zimbabwe might give them anoda free 3 points becoz them be neighbours nd using their pitch

“Cyriel Dessers, who had an unimpressive game in Uyo where he turned out be a substitute that was substituted, did not have a better game as he was too slow to latch onto passes, could not win aerial balls and did little in bringing alive the Nigerian attack.”

In our own case, nobody complained,in fact Algeria 🇩🇿 didn’t lodge any complaint…FIFA ACTED INDEPENDENTLY ,and d points were removed . The last statement makes our case even stronger b4 FIFA … so if dt is dere excuse ,den Dey don’t have a point …what’s good for the goose 🪿 is also good for the gander
