As it stands

South Africa - 16pts
Benin- 9pts
Rwanda- 8pts
Nigeria- 7pts
Lesotho- 6pts
Zimbabwe - 5pts

Table is as expected.
Anybody who didn't expect this table must be a joker. You expected South Africa to loose or draw at home to Lesotho.

We should just play, try and win our remaining matches and hope for miracle.

Joebie:
SA dey lead 3-0 away at home.. hahaha

Hmm... Away at home.

That RSA's second goal looks offside to me. I need to see the replay.

genius43:
They are thinking about it.

If this one works, it will benefit so many people who oversize their system. Especially those on band A - no need to oversize battery bank anymore; just sale in the day, consume at night.

Edit
Just read part of the draft. It's limited to:
Not less than 50kW power.
Sale is to be injected to 415V, 11kV or 33kV lines. So most of gencos here are excluded. I guess, the infrastructure at the distribution network (transformer) may not be able to handle bidirectional power flow.

minfelix:
Lookman has not played any away game in SA before…i think you are talking of the 2019 AfconQ ojoro game dey played us

@samueltemi337

Sorry, It was against Rwanda.

minfelix:
even the disallowed sweet header Lookman scored in the 0-0 AfconQ against Rwanda, how NFF kept quiet and never protested weak me🤦🏼

There was one too Vs South Africa in South Africa, ref cancelled Lookman's clean goal. NFF kept quiet. No single protest.

Thundafireseun:
Its laughable a Governor who has immunity controls the police force….

Neither federal, state or local government police are trained to fight terrorist…

That’s the job description of the NA ….Kindly enlighten me how state police is the solution RIGHT NOW

Very apt.
Terrorist use sophisticated weapon, will the police be equipped with such too? If they do then that is not police again.

‘I Know Where Bandits Are, With My Phone I Can Show You Their Location,’ Says Zamfara Governor




https://leadership.ng/i-know-where-bandits-are-with-my-phone-i-can-show-you-their-location-says-zamfara-governor/

Lies.
1 he can't tract them with his phone except they shared their location with him or they are using his Google/iOS account.
2 security operatives in every state obey State govt commands and the supper rich distress call. Otherwise what is all this security votes for? Who gave order for Lekki toll gate? Was it PMB?
3 our institutions are too weak for us to have state police. See how EFCC is used to shield their own and harass those against.

minfelix:
so Sychelles come qualifiers come collect 34goals against 🤣🤣🤣….with 3more to go….i really like their perseverance to keep on playing till the end😂

The good thing about their donation is that the second placed team in that group will proceed to playoff.

2nd placed team in our group may not make it.

Non of the team would have it easy in this our group. All first 5 teams in our group have almost equal chance of qualification.

JohnBullMySon:
That’s not how FIFA rules are applied. For example FIFA rules are very clear on what constitutes a goal. But when the referee makes an error, does the goal get cancelled afterwards ? Even when it is technically not a goal. Today we have VAR to assist the referee but if he doesn’t change his mind, nothing will happen.

Usually, when an error has been determined to be from officiating, the result will stand regardless of what any rule states.

Your comparison is on wrong premise.
The referee interprets and applies the rules you referred to on the field and his decision is final. Disciplinary issues (yellow and red card) are sometimes reviewed.

Disciplinary issues off the field as in this case is handled by FIFA and they apply the rules. If they decide to avoid it as in this case it's a totally different situation.

They may be attempt to sweep it under the carpet, hence the 'no-mention' of it in any of their report. However, takenote that RSA responded to FIFA on this issue and the outcome from FIFA is supposed to be public knowledge - for or against (at least communicated to RSA.

JohnBullMySon:
I think I’ve said what happened here. FIFA officials misreported Mokoena as eligible.

That’s why SA played him. SA played him under the assumption that he was eligible because FIFA didn’t mark him ineligible as they usually did.

I Dey talk am before say na 50:50 but una choose to believe the one una like. Person say na after final round. Like does that even make any sense?

How did you arrive at the bolded conclusion?
RSA told you?
Or from the quoted news journal or FIFA?

chrisooblog:
Uche for edit this thing small na lol

What if Na d guy copy Uche.

Equatorial Guinea punishment was in May 2024 for matches played in Nov 2023, 6 months after. Incidentally, there was no protest from either Namibia or Liberia.

solonnachi:
If FIFA does nothing about this matter, they will lose credibility like INEC. Please Infantino, do the needful.

They will definitely be punished after all qualifying rounds - 3 points deducted, 2 goals for removed, 3 goals against awarded, plus cash fine. However, they will still qualify.

Tessyy1701:
Saw this somewhere

Grimsby fielded an ineligible player in their Carabao Cup win against United and have been fined as a result.
They missed the deadline to register Clarke Odour by one minute and self-reported the issue to the EFL.

I hope our SA brother will not connive with FIFA to just FINE them

Relax, FIFA will definitely do the needful when the qualifier is over in November or latest December. However, I don't see Nigeria winning all 4 games.

paulos8:
Any news from camp?
SA already started training yesterday later we will want to pull off a miracle win. All the players apart from the ones that did transfer ought to have been in camp by now.
You would tell me SA players play in SA but some of our boys played on Saturday. They should be in camp by now.

People wey already know say dem no dey go anywhere.

BankyGee:
TRANSFER WINDOW CLOSED

WHAT A DEADLINE DAY! 😬🔥

Good. Let's shift focus to camp now.

https://www.thecable.ng/beyond-the-blame-game-financial-literacy-and-entitlement-among-nigerian-athletes/

A well written article.
The only set of people that eat their cake and have it are politicians. Footballers should be financially wise.

123jamessmith:
But if the Nff allow South Africa to play lessotho in South Africa, it shows that they are not even taking our qualification serious.
Because if they protest FIFA would have change the venue.

NFF protest? That's future impossible tense.
Has it ever happened before in history?

Goke7:
This is debatable as both players were just APOTYs in recent years, as a mater of fact both players are kind of pioneers like the Oliseh set who paved the way for other Nigerians to become more marketable in Europe! The last Afcon despite we coming second beam the searchlight more on Nigerian players. Europe is just becoming less liberal these days where resources are becoming scarce hence the lesser opportunities for our guys especially when they are older. You can’t say with the last Afcon performance the eagles have been failures, that performance gave Lookman the APOTY.

Perfectly said. The national team hasn't done badly asides the poor result in World cup qualifier. In fact, being African best and AFCON medalist should open more doors.

If we were to go by Oliseh's analysis, Erling Haland would be no where near ManCity.

I feel he's just trying to psych up the guys to live up to expectations in GWG.

Samueltemi337:
How many world cups Oliseh win again?

Argue the point and stop attacking the young man. Is he right or wrong? Give you reasons for differing

123jamessmith:
Please where is South Africa playing their next home match before playing Nigeria.

South Africa is playing all their remaining 4 matches at home as Lesotho and Zimbabwe uses their stadium for home games.
All games well spaced, home advantage plus no travel fatigue.
Do you still have hope in qualifying?

solonnachi:
South Africa has unveiled their squad for September World cup qualifiers. As expected Mamelodi Sundowns players dominate the list. They play Lesotho and Nigeria on 5th and 9th September respectively. They won't be too stressed knowing fully well that Lesotho are their next door neighbours. May God help Nigeria!

South Africa play on 5th at Lesotho which is well within their reach then wait for us who play on 6th in Nigerian before travelling South Africa.

This arrangement favours South Africa.

This has been the arrangement for Nigeria since this qualifiers started. The gap between our games is the shortest amongst all the teams

Stayingalive:
Let’s hold our government accountable and let’s leave the church and promises of pastors. Most men of God are profiting from the side effects of poverty and the mentality of prosperity in the country

Not really. Our law is to blame. In some countries,you can't setup church to collects funds and all becomes yours. It has to go into charity. Here government don't even bother to audit churches.

Odunayaw:
We could have lost which game? Is it the atrocious miss by Ndidi that I want to call to mind? This game still de internet fgs.

Ekong obviously tired bawo?
Just look at how much the Zim guy had to stretch to move ball from him!

Again, it's not for nothing Osimhen was angry at his teammates and not the coach.

As painful as this game was. A win would have left us in a similar situation as the draw - win all and expect RSA to drop 4 pts or 6pts respectively.
That's 'mission impossible' with a South African team not ready to drop point.

Those first 4 games messed the qualifier up.

Joebie:
I just hope we dont get more heartbreaks --WCQ

Dem go get. I no go get. Nigeria no dey go world cup

Kog45:
No excuses for Chelle abeg

Yes. He's the one that selected the players.
Give Late Keshi or Siasia this tournament and they'll select better players in this same country.
From the way the are playing they won't score any goal in this tournament.

Very funny goals caused by Ngenge.

Goke7:
Congratulations to the tigress, President Oya freaky their account, no time!

Dem no go do am.
No political point to score in basketball. Most Nigerians don't even know about the competition. Football it is here.

Brahamimo:
Most annoying thing you have done to your HOST ?. Is this not same as this topic?

I guess u were trying to say "The most annoying thing that a Host has Done To a visitor?

Nope. The opposite of what the topic.

JustcallmeFavou:
She was a friend's younger sister. They asked I accommodated her for two weeks, pending whenever she's done with what she came to the state I was living at.

During her stay with me, she'd be the last to get off from the bed but, she won't lay the bed. I will be in the kitchen and cook all alone, while she will gladly eat, lick her fingers, and drop the plate/s for me to wash afterwards, and also, she doesn't even sweep the room. I endured until the 2weeks elapsed, and she wasn't showing any signs of leaving.

So I had to call my friend, to tell him I will be traveling home urgently, and I am not sure when I will be back. Na so she take leave with her uncultured manners!

Typical of GenZs. Entitled. Don't want to work but want to eat. You didn't do well sha. You should have schooled her after the second time.

Meanwhile OP Brahamimo do another one with the topic What's the most annoying thing you've done to your host. I bet no one will accept they've done anything bad to their host.
