That is if he pairs Bassey at Fulham first. I pray they both get to play together at Fulham.

It’s obvious he might d first choice except oda wise (like injury or obvious drop of form) u can’t expect a Fulham to cough out 30million euros for an “unknown player “ to come and sit on the bench to collect fresh air in uk 🇬🇧…


If he’s not careful,he might even keep 😊

Ebenezer Akinsanmiro back with Parent Club, Inter Milan for Preseason.

Dis guy shld stay and fight for a spot ..it will assist his super eagles career …hopefully he gets good minutes (and also Uche in the midfield) ..it will help our course to qualify for the 2030 World Cup

chrisooblog:
I still think Benji is the best to partner Bassey. Could be proved wrong down the line but will want to watch Nwaiwu more often to see what he brings. Am glad we are increasingly building the SE's strength in depth.

Next up is to discover a reliable back up for Iwobi and another solid LB.

What we need most now is a better player Dan iwobi (iwobi shld be a back up plan)

A dependable striker even if the player is not good Dan osimhen;at least something close (while akor and odas we taught were good can fight 4 SS)


And a good left winger dt can permanently replace or place Moses Simon to bench ..limit his role completely in the team

ChrisKels:
Chelle will be tempted to break it if Benji plays regularly for Brentford because it doesn't look like Chelle rates Buike that highly. Remember it took a withdrawal before he could give him a call up.

Yes I know , but playing in epl will change dt mindset, to now seal the sentiment,both players should play and compliment each other well in the coming season ,make Benji use teeth 🦷 score, he won’t change it

🚨 Info: Chibuike Nwaiwu 🇳🇬

Chibuike Nwaiwu has reached an agreement with Fulham 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 for a contract until 2030.

The Cottagers must now find common ground with Trabzonspor 🇹🇷, which is uncompromising on the asking price for its defender.

If dis transfer happens,I fear for dt new kid ,he might be forced to play right back ,Dts if Aina or bewene guy is unfit

No body will want to touch the pairing of a Bassey/ nwaiwu if Dey are both playing 90 minutes together in their club .

ChrisKels:
The butterfly that thinks himself a bird. I heard he has been shipped to Turkeye.

He don join Seriki for turkey

ChrisKels:
According to emotional kids (Ronaldo fanboys) the world cup is rigged in favour of Argentina. Not even a yellow was issued here, but imagine if the page was flipped

Una go cry tire, no world cup gold for Ronaldo.

https://x.com/i/status/2076154891311939593

I don’t want to believe dt “rigged theory joor” , let even assume dt it was rigged ,it shows that Argentina 🇦🇷 knows aw to utilise the rigged system


We have seen situations where a student would be assisted with different expo, yet to write the answer in their own way to pass;just to avoid suspicion,yet they failed woefully.

9JAMac10:
Who do YOU think is the better striker..Harry Kane or Erling Haaland?

Seriki of turkey 🦃 😎

Mujtahida:
England will win this WC. This I have seen.

Except if France 🇫🇷 doesn’t get to play England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿..d cup is btw those two countries

Dannyxy:

Odunayaw:

COOL10:

AndSunGorilla:
Maybe talks of Algeria etc pursuing Chelle na im Agents dey do leg over for us.

Well if by next month and I c any news saying amunike or Eguavoen or siasia been linked to the super eagles job ;just know dt chelle is gone,dey won’t renew his contract,na nff way be dt.

The performances of African teams like Cape Verde 🇨🇻 and DR Congo 🇨🇩 against some of the world’s top teams only reinforce a point I’ve consistently made: World Cup qualifiers and tournaments like AFCON are no longer a walk in the park for the traditional African powerhouses such as Nigeria 🇳🇬, Cameroon 🇨🇲, and others.

The gap is closing. More African nations are gaining valuable experience, improving tactically, and competing with greater confidence on the biggest stages. There are no longer any “small teams” in African football.

That is why the NFF must stop paying lip service and start taking deliberate, strategic actions. If Nigeria wants to consistently qualify for major tournaments and compete for trophies, we must improve our planning, infrastructure, logistics, and overall football administration.

African football has evolved. We must evolve with it.

Karlovich:
They're going to win, an underdog victory

U think say dis one dr Congo petition 😄😄😄😄, Argentina 🇦🇷 go beat blue black commot deir body

charlesemeka85:
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿➡️🇹🇷🎙️Galatasaray has opened negotiations to sign Emmanuel Fernandez, the 24-year-old Rangers defender.

The offer would be £17 million, the player has shown interest in transferring to Istanbul and has already received positive recommendations from Victor Osimhen about the club.

Fotogol 📰

This guy sef wan join Fulani league 😊

Next year afcon will be interesting,we now have a powerhouse In Africa …DR Congo 😎

I pray and hope dr Congo wins 😎

mostob:
But if super eagles should catch this current France team... Ooh lah lah lah
Dem go too collect

Tax collector ni….ordinary Congo Una no fit beat

minfelix:
If them like make dem no agree…make dem dey yeye dey hate watch😅😅…i don comot that zone tay tay…i said it sometimes around last year that the steady growth of Morocco is something many African powerhouse will sweat to catch up with…
The only compact team that will beat this Moroccan team is 95% the Mbappe,Dembele,Olise led-French team and maybe an 80% magically led Messi Argentina team or maybe the 45% home advantaged USA…Spain cannot do nada with this Morocco team….
Morocco is gradually looking like the worldcup favorite…Brazil will pray not to meet them again

2030 worldcup,Host Morocco will bully and intimidate their way to Final

D last statement is d real deal..Dey re not even eyeing this tournament, but using it to prepare for 2030 World Cup..they re one of the favourites to win it

The next World Cup qualifiers will be among the toughest Nigeria has ever faced. Teams like Burkina Faso 🇧🇫, Angola 🇦🇴, Libya 🇱🇾 and Gabon 🇬🇦 will be inspired by the progress of Cape Verde 🇨🇻 and DR Congo 🇨🇩. Across African football, the belief is growing: if they can do it, so can we.

That is why the NFF cannot afford to keep making the same mistakes. African football has evolved, and if Nigeria fails to plan properly, make the right decisions and take the qualifiers seriously, qualifying for the World Cup could become even more difficult.

Odunayaw:
Make wetin do Japan against Belgium in 2018 WC no come happen

E don happen 😃

C as Brazil 🇧🇷 Dey play like Cape Verde 🇨🇻 😃😃😃

Truidstarr:
One down......Eight to go.......

Haba ..bad belle ..I believe 4 will go thru

Meanwhile both SA AND CANADA 🇨🇦 WILL be defeated by sporting Lagos feeders team..both teams were too poor

chrisooblog:
I think it's time we start moving on from our failure to qualify from the WC debacle.

Winging, crying, and wailing will not hoist our flag at the WC.

What we should dedicate our energy to now as supporters of the national team is finding solutions and making sure this never happens again.

Giving Chelle a new contract is a step in the right direction however it's just a step more crucial strides need to be made to set the SE up for sustainable success.

NFF leadership should be voted out in September. The Technical Department needs to be completely retooled and infused with fresh ideas. Eguavoen great guy but I think we have seen the limits of his ability.

I'm hopeful for the future based on the quality and quantity of talent however we have to do better at discovering and convincing diaspora talent. Morocco, Senegal, CIV, and even Cape Verde have the drop on us on that area. Hopefully the new Diaspora team can make head way in that approach.

We’re probably just 20% away from putting ourselves in a strong position to qualify for the next FIFA World Cup after renewing Eric Chelle’s contract. Now, two key areas must be addressed:

1. Upgrade our home advantage

The NFF and relevant authorities should renovate at least two stadiums preferably the Abuja National Stadium and one other to meet the standard we witnessed in Morocco. Our World Cup qualifying home matches should also kick off no earlier than 6:00 p.m. under floodlights, allowing the players to perform in more comfortable weather conditions.

Our poor home results during the 2022 and 2026 World Cup qualifying campaigns showed that we have not maximized our home advantage. Every point matters, and any nation serious about qualifying must treat every game like a final. The competition is becoming even tougher, with more African countries gaining World Cup experience and confidence. Imagine being drawn against teams like DR Congo, Cape Verde, or Gabon in the next qualifiers there will be no easy games.

2. Establish a dedicated Super Eagles management team

The NSC and NFF should create a professional management unit responsible for the Super Eagles’ off-field operations, focusing on planning, logistics, player welfare, and administrative coordination throughout the qualification campaign.

This would help prevent avoidable issues such as delayed payments, poor travel arrangements, and player protests over unpaid bonuses. A well-organized team off the pitch gives the players the best chance to succeed on it.

Going forward, we must be deliberate, proactive, and professional in every aspect of our World Cup qualification campaign. Success is achieved not only through talent but also through proper planning and execution.

TheSuperNerd:
Senegal is officially into the Round of 32!!!

Confirmed. They finish ahead of Iran, Scotland, Uruguay and South Korea.

Thank God , now we have secured our 9/10 slot for 2030 World Cup ….no more reduce African slot with 6 or 7 out of 10 qualifying to the knockout stage

opes:
Ghana will defeat Croatia. Inaki Williams and Semenyo still need to step up their games, they have been underperforming for Ghana.

The best Ghana can get is a draw …if Dey come out to play …na heavy defeat

TheSuperNerd:
Akor to newly promoted Venezia? Very surprising

Why am I not even surprised..I believe the player himself loves playing in “low risk profile clubs” dt won’t put much pressure on him ..even when he joined Sevilla ,Dey were no longer dt “big profile club “ were u must bring in ur A game always

FiveFootNinja:
I'm seeing Senegalese fans on Twitter talking about dropping Pape Thiaw and stealing Eric Chelle.

It won't happen anyway, but it's the audacity for me cos they're debating it with all seriousness.

All these African countries don really see us finish.

lol …when nff sef na mumu, don’t be surprise if the new contract Dey claim Eric has accepted hasn’t been officially drafted 😃😃😃 cos na so fifa tell us say dem no pay any petition fee against dr Congo

Uncomfortable Facts….South Africa has an easy path to quarter finals than Morocco 🇲🇦

They can easily defeat Canada 🇨🇦 and possibly meet Morocco 🇲🇦 in r16 …in which they can also defeat Morocco 🇲🇦 too 😊😊.its going to be a long ride for hate watchers
