Meanwhile.....
This man will soon qualify a talentless Benin Republic over star-studded Nigerian team with the best coach in the world

Yinmu …I am ready to stake 100k bet… d best point he can get from d two remaining games against Rwanda 🇷🇼 and Nigeria 🇳🇬 is 1point

This Zubairu of a coach has used practically almost three different teams to execute tournaments involving the u-20 dis year (wafu Afcon ,now World Cup) yet , I can’t pinpoint any serious talent …and is pattern of play is so drab and boring …ladan bosso was not dis bad

Mujtahida:
I knew that draw against Zimbabwe was the real arrow to the heart of our quest to qualify for the world cup. Never stopped calling it a draw. If we had won that match we'd have been on 13 points just behind the group leaders

Even dt win wouldn’t have amounted to nothing if SA WINS BOTH GAMES .we can only hope Rwanda 🇷🇼 do d magic for us and win …

U c dt Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 match …SA WILL WIN BY ANY MARGIN(COSAFA POLITICS)

Ppogbae:
Does this mean Lesotho gets the 3 points?

Who go get am b4 …. Cameroon 🇨🇲?

Breaking

Meliforme:
Ebenezer Akinsanmiro should be starting in our midfield.

I won’t be surprised if he doesn’t make d team list

mostob:
The role Chuks is playing is exactly what I want for him and probably what Chelle tries to execute. A right winger but with a freedom to roam.

Shey be Dts aw he used him against Jamaica 🇯🇲 and he played very well…I now wondered y he didn’t even give home enough minutes against Rwanda 🇷🇼 and South Africa 🇿🇦 respectively

Philosopher1979:
You are funny. Wetin nff wan gain by sabotaging our world cup qualifying chances. I mean I think they will even have more chances to steal money. I mean qualifying for the world cup will get nff some money. I don't know much about football administration in nigeria as in I don't work for nff but that is my opinion. Qualifying for the world cup should be a good opportunity to make money for those officials and even if for selfish reasons, they will want us to qualify

U av forgotten dt next year is deir election and so many are eyeing gusau sit within d board …Dey will use d not qualifying to campaign against him

minfelix:
The guys in the NFF running our football are clueless and f00lish!!🤮🤢.
Fixing 2friendly matches in November when there is still a mathematical chance to world cup qualification 🤦🏼🤦🏼😂😂na wa oo…since FIFA has not indicated E Eliminated on the log,then we are still in contention

Those guys re fools …I don’t knw d dickheads running our football ..we av a very good chance of making d playoffs in November (Eritrea factor) if we win d 2games …I won’t b surprise if Dey re sabotaging us to lose our next two games

jihday:
Nigeria to play Columbia on the 18th of November in a friendly game, just 4 days after playing Venezuela

E b like say nff sef don give up on our qualification cos I no understand…what if we win our next two games …we still stand a chance of going thru for playoffs

This one wey our midfielders Dey get injury ahead of next month qualifiers so ? Fisayo out injured…onyedika doubtful 😢

chrisooblog:
FIFA too is a disgrace. Didn't they run pitch inspections before approving that stadium?

NFF too that is not proactive about these things.

It’s all football politics..our nff is too poor in dt aspect

minfelix:
Na there them use play SA as their home wey SA flog them 3-0,those ones are mumu…they dont have options…Toyota stadium is closer to their country (Lesotho) than any other place in SA

We re not playing dere according to osasu

yinkeys:
You’ve got the wrong info
Peseiro was not sacked, his contract expired
He wanted $100,000 salary for renewal and they said they didn’t have the money

Not $100k, he demanded for $120k and d nff told
Him Dey can’t exceed $70k ..no agreement was reached..so Dey parted ways

minfelix:
Na there them use play SA as their home wey SA flog them 3-0,those ones are mumu…they dont have options…Toyota stadium is closer to their country (Lesotho) than any other place in SA

lol we fit play draw with Lesotho 🇱🇸 b dt 🤣🤣🤣

minfelix:
thats where we would be playing again oo

Shey dem don confirm d stadiums too ?

Amedino99:
this stadium for lesotho match, hope its not the potato free state stadium they want to give us again

We don’t even know yet but from what I heard ,Dey might not be using dt stadium

minfelix:
September
Les vs SA (in SA)
SA vs Nig (in SA)

October
Zim vs SA (in SA)
SA vs Rwa(in SA)
so the last time SA traveled out of their region to play worldcup qualifiers was in June🤣🤣🤣….omo see flexing and soft life naaaa🤣….let say SA was rooted to the bottom of this group in June with like 4 or 5points, walai this 4 home advantage matches should be enough to bounce them to the top or second with a possibility of 10 or 12pts

all i can say is NA WA OOOOOOOO

C as fifa Dey whine us 🤣🤣🤣..dem say neutral venue yet approved South Africa 🇿🇦 for d clash with Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

Ragingthunder:
He's expected to play a part-role vs alanyaspor and start against Liverpool

I doubt if Dey would release osimhen for us in October

TheSuperNerd:
Ebenezer Akinsanmiro starts for Pisa away at Serie A Champs, Napoli.

Game on in 40mins.

If dese guy performs well,make chelle call am replace injured Fisayo

TheSuperNerd:
Pep seems to always go Full Haram BALL vs Mikel Arteta.

If not for that Eberechi Eze super pass and Martinelli's sweet finish, Man City for use haram ball collect 3 pts. Chaaaiii... Pep must have contacted Elyte89 on his haram route one tactical book. It is obvious.

Dt 5-1 scoreline Dey haunt baba 🤣🤣🤣🤣,baba go defensive mood 6-3-1 🤣🤣🤣

According to this article, Zimbabwe has agreed to host RSA in Durban. If true, it means a win might have also been negotiated.

Benin should win Rwanda and negotiate with us.

Dt Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 vs South Africa 🇿🇦 match is fixed already …my mind Dey dt South Africa vs Rwanda 🇷🇼 game

TheSuperNerd:
Abeg, Chelle's eyes should be monitoring this resurgent Gift Orban. He is giving Juventus defenders premium wahala.

In the words of the CBS commentator, "Orban has been such a livewire. So lively this Orban..."

His workrate is top notch and his shooting volume is the highest in the game. Higher than even shooting whiz, Kenan Yildiz. The kind of mobile forward who keeps defences really disturbed for 90mins and more. Full of intense energy.

Was subbed out on 89mins to a clapping ovation from the Verona fans.

Orban is back!

This orban guy too …we don’t even knw if he’s Togo 🇹🇬 or Nigeria 🇳🇬…Togo still Dey lay claims on am

TheGoodJoe:
Thank you for checking up. Just been busy and a bit distracted since I lost my faith in the Super Eagles.

starting Ekong was normal but Dessers over Tolu was baffling

Dessers not performing against South Africa 🇿🇦 was due to d midfield …no service whatsoever, Too poor

Kog45:
A good coach can't be influenced by anybody,fact NFF didn't influenced inclusion of Ekong against South Africa cuz what NFF expected was normal pairing of Frederick/Bassey with Bruno keeping his place and Arokodare starting not Dessers, reason why they criticized Ekong and Dessers after the match.

Have u forgotten he’s d captain and he would yield some senior players power in d team…chelle wey just come, u wan make d team scatter for him head …who would have predicted chelle to use Fredrick ahead of him against high tensed Rwanda 🇷🇼 game …I am sure some stuffs happened behind d scenes for him to start ekong

TheSuperNerd:
He let his guard down when he went back to playing Ekong vs SA. He "send papa" for 45 mins when he made the mistake I was expecting him to avoid which is STARTING EKONG.

Chelle needs to realise 100% not 75%, not 95% but 100% that to keep this job and truly progress with this team, he needs to grow bigger balls, harden his heart, close his eyes and let his unbiased/unsentimental tactical brain show him our best players to drive us forward. Inviting Uche and Onyedika yet not utilising them effectively is same to me as not inviting them at all.

Chelle should damn the status quo and pick the actual best.

I believe “behind d scenes politics made him to start ekong against South Africa 🇿🇦…you would notice he yanked him off b4 d start of second half …more like ;sheybe Una don c ,make I start experience,make I start experience…

How I wish Dey sacked dis coach b4 employing chelle . This man sabi

TheSuperNerd:
Well, it does happen that two coaches can be wrong. Or one can be wrong while the other is afraid to change the status quo in the middle.

Chelle's Mali kept the ball at Afcon 2023 (played in 2024). Only their game vs SA saw them beaten in possession. They outpassed and outpossessed the other teams till they crashed out vs eventual winners, CIV. Chelle's Mali also beat us and outpassed us in March last year in the first half especially. He played a Finidi side that tried to keep the ball, got their go ahead goal in the first half and only switched strategy to a much more defensive one in the second half to protect their lead which saw us have more of the ball in same 2nd 45... then ofcos they eventually hit us with a second goal in the second half.

The truth is Chelle needs to show balls across the depts of the Super Eagles. He already showed balls with Benjamin Frederick but still shot himself in the foot in the name of Status quo by starting Ekong vs SA. If he had stuck to his new brave decision all the way, we wont have had another Ekong blunder soil our WC Chances.

Chelle needs to take the hard and best decisions in the middle. I can see it. It is obvious and Benjamin in defence is testimony to it.

Ndidi has to be dropped from the first XI for Onyedika if we are going to move forward in the middle. And dropping him is one thing, but playing Onyedika with the right midfield personnel is another.

Chelle no send anybody papa o …for him to have d balls to bench ekong(team captain) no b beans o,I knw what would have transpired behind d scenes.its not easy to drop a team captain like dt,not to talk of a team like Nigeria 🇳🇬. Anyway I want him to invite alhassan Yussuf in d next list

TheSuperNerd:
I have long heard this explanation and it seems to only make sense when discussing lone DM/single pivot setups but not in double pivot setups.
So this attempt at analytical explanation is not it because we kept the ball against Rwanda. What was the excuse then?

Also, Club Brugge took on a side that kept the ball (Monaco in the UCL) and Onyedika excelled defensively in a double pivot with Stankovic.

This fallacy that Onyedika cannot defend is part of the nonsense circulating around to keep Ndidi in the first XI and keep making us suffer in the middle.

What if training says otherwise cos two coaches can’t be making d same mistake …peseiro and chelle …both foreign coaches

It was only finidi dt gave onyedika is starting 11…even though I noticed finidi style of play wants to keep d ball,hence play from d back (showed in Ghana 🇬🇭 and Mali 🇲🇱 friendlies )
