If we miss USCAMEX World Cup 2026, well it would be the first time our Super Eagles will be missing back to back World Cup tournaments. A real low.

But I take consolation in the fact that the young guns rising fast in the team and outside the team will be more mature and ready for the 2030 WC Qualifiers assault.

Osimhen (age 29-30 by 2028) would be undisputed leader of the team by then and possibly Captain. Lookman will still be there. Same as Felix Agu and Chukwueze.

Calvin Bassey will be undisputed leader of the Defence with Ekong gone.


The young guns (U-24) are:

💯 Raphael Onyedika (MF) - Belgium
💯 Fisayo Dele Bashiru (MF) - Serie A
💯 Tolu Arokodare (CF) - EPL
💯 Victor Boniface (ST) - Bundesliga
💯 Christantus Uche (MF) - EPL
💯 Benjamin Frederick (CB) - Belgium
💯 Vince Osuji (CB) - Belgium - Belgium
💯 Akinsanmiro Ebenezer (MF) - Serie A
💯 Hafiz Umar Ibrahim (ST/CF) - Ligue 2
💯 Arierhi Kparobo (ST) - Norway
💯 Rafiu Durosinmi (ST/CF) - Czech Liga
💯 Hamzat Ojediran (MF) - Ligue 1
💯 Daniel Daga (MF) - Norway
💯 Emmanuel Uchenna (CB) - Czech Liga
💯 Igoh Ogbu (CB) - Czech Liga
💯 Anthony Dennis (MF) - Turkey Super Lig
💯 Victor Orakpo (ST) - Ligue 2 (loan from Ligue 1 side, Nice)
💯Gift Orban (ST) - Serie A
💯David Moses (MF) - Czech Liga (Slavia Prague like Ogbu)
💯 ETC, ETC...

I am looking forward already but with one toe still stuck in this WCQs campaign just to see how it all finally ends. Peseiro and the lads did us bad in the beginning. But I am focused on better days to come.

We're 6 points behind SA, that's assuming we win Rwanda today. The maximum points we can get from SA are 3 assuming again that we win against them next week

And if CAF refuses to deduct point from them, we have to hope they lose a game or 2 for us to have any hope even after possibly winning all our games.

junnyjake:
The super eagles will not qualify for the 2026 WC. There's no magic that can guarantee otherwise.

There's no guarantee that we'll win all our matches and even if we do, there's no guarantee of a slip-up by our opponents.

The 17 year old kid that just bagged the match winning goal for Liverpool in a keenly contested game against Newcastle is Nigerian- Rio Ngumoha.

I bet NFF don't even know about this kid.

Boniface is a baller. Before Leverkusen, he was a cruise man, at Leverkusen he was a cruise man and still performed, at AC Milan he'll still be a cruise man and still perform.

For Nigeria, his time will come. E no go too tey seff. Injury fkked him up before AFCON and since then na highs and lows. But he'll come back banging goals and banging tweets!

Nice move. Serie A golden boot loading! 😁🔥

UncleHaba22:
Head coach of English League One side Barnsley Conor Hourihane has confirmed that Nigeria international midfielder Kelechi Nwakali is free to leave the club before the close of the ongoing summer transfer window, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

The Nigerian was banished from training with the first team after resuming late for pre season from his holiday in Nigeria. A situation which saw him omitted from the squad in games against Plymouth Argyle, Burton Albion, Fleetwood Town and Bolton Wanderers respectively.

Speaking ahead of the game against Peterborough United the coach confirmed that Nwakali who was sacked for a similar offence by Spanish side Huesca isn’t a part of his plans for the season.

He said the idea is to move him on before the close of the transfer window. “Obviously there’s a couple of weeks to go in the window. Let’s see where it takes us,” he explained and when asked about allowing Nwakali leave, he didn’t mince words with his reply “Yes, that’s the plan.”

However it wouldn’t be a straightforward idea with two more years to go on the contract of Nwakali, who appeared in 26 game in all competitions for the club last season.
