D time wey I dey vex don pass. If dem comot, I support another team. Passion don die.

I just looked up Algeria and Nigeria h2h and it's not looking good for Nigeria at all
We have lost 4 out of the last 5 games against Algeria with our last win being in 2016...I'm not so confident in Nigeria anymore

Algeria plays like Europeans. We will win.

Mozambique were not as poor as this Burkina Faso

Algeria will be the home team and their home color is white. Hopefully, we wear our Green color.

Our Green is more attractive.

CIV has been unplayable so far.

isan:
After this match neither congo or Algeria players should be able to walk ...

That's what affected Nigeria against them in the world cup playoff. They are lucky they have 4 days to rest.

Spainever:
Ndidi does not deserved to be first 11

You're not serious. Do you watch thebvacknof your television?

elyte89:
Morocco 🇲🇦 go use Cameroon 🇨🇲 do asun 😎

Morocco will win Cameroon. I don't understand the confidence people have in this Cameroonian team.

9JAMac10:
CAF referees fear North African Teams 😑

Tanzania was robbed of a penalty.

Morocco too were robbed when Tanzanian keeper clashed onto Moroccan player in the first half. In as much as I wanted Morocco out, I think the ref was fair

Bouadi97:
Why do I see so many of you in this forum being against North Africa?
I am from Algeria, and I love Nigeria and follow all of its matches from 2004 up to the present day.

Because of your players and FA's antics.
North Africa has had the most penalty in this tournament -most of them purely bias.

See the way your players protested calling for VAR to cancel a clear handball yesterday

If this VAR cancel this penalty I will be so vexed. Because that's a clear penalty. Ours was not even this clear.

Danielnino00:
Mali are going to play their way to a red card soon

You cast voodoo

do4luv14:
VAR go tell you say na offside if na Nigeria, na then go even call refree sef

This is what Gemini has to say concerning the offside. It seems there was VAR review behind the scene.
This may not be accurate though as it relies on online pool of data.

The VAR Decision: The goal was subjected to a lengthy VAR review. The officials ultimately ruled that Jackson was onside by a thin margin (often referred to as a "toenail" decision). Because the VAR did not find a "clear and obvious error," the on-field decision to award the goal stood.

You and who agree

Once it hits front page better wear helmet because bombb dey come

Amedino99:
real madrid for where. Real madrid has way more wins than losses in final. Real madrid always unfailingly qualifies to the UCL every season no matter the form they are in. We have already missed 2 consecutive afcons and 2 consecutive world cup in the last 15 years. We also posses more silver medal and bronze than Gold. Please find another club to use as comparison

Athletic Madrid. Nearly every time.

A society where life is not valued - money>life.

Take a walk to public hospital, sit and observe carefully how lackadaisical and nonchalant we are as a people. No emergency is seen as emergency. When you're done with the observation, your prayer daily will be "God may I or any of my household never ever be in an emergency".

To the excepted ones who keeps to the ethos of the profession, may your reward be great.

In the video it looks like there's no provision for rail track at the Calabar section. Am I right?

Funny how my country people don't want to give up.

The player in question was cleared by FIFa on August 22, 2025 to play for Congo DR.

God1000:
State of emergency should be declared in all the 36 states and FCT, it appears our military cannot handle the current security situation, it is frightening, nobody is safe anymore

Contradictory statement. If military cannot handle, who will implement the state of emergency?

Good bye to this thread and anything Nigerian football.

For me, the coach and players tried their best. I can't fault them in anyway. They tried their best in a hostile environment. If I were the players I won't give 100% in any match.

NFF should continue in their ineptitude. We had no business being in this playoff from the beginning. Direct qualification should not have been difficult if they had done the most basic thing of appointing a coach on time.

Lionessza6:
LMAO Spoken like a true village wizard . Pull him down syndrome .

And then the others will come here with comments like

" I don't know why the other Africans are happy we didn't qualify "

Mental illness is real

Lolz

Samueltemi337:
I just dey laugh


The person way talk say drc nor go score us 😂


The ones way dey hype Chelle 😂


The ones way don already dey dream of winning world cup 😂

Stop it. I'm mourning.

TheCongo2:
I love your last sentence "you go explain tire". Nevertheless, let me explain this:

Morroco was the first African team to reach the Round of 16 back in 1986 — with a squad that was almost 100% locally based.

When was the last time the Nigerian league was truly showcased ? A youth growing in Nigeria has been formatted to believe that regardless of his soccer talent, he has to go abroad to join the superEagle. How ridiculous!

Cameroon performed strongly in the World Cup during the 1980s with a squad made largely of local players. But starting from 1994, after following Nigeria’s model of relying almost exclusively on abroad-based players, their national team’s has looked like a shadow of what it once was on the world stage.

Nigeria has nothing to show for it when it comes to its local league. Not because they lack local players, but because of this deep-rooted mentality that everything abroad is automatically better.

Anyway, when you start talking about giving a chance to local soccer youth to a Nigerian , you go explain tire.

Add that Morocco topped a group that had England, Poland and Portugal. They lost to West Germany 1:0, an eventual finalist.

khunz:
Caf has confirmed Ndidi can playyy.
Reason:Cautions accumulated during qualifiers is not applicable in play-off
That should be enough

We shouldn't fall into any such trap.

If the lifting of the suspension is true, then it's a point of contention because rules were made since. Cards is carried to next stage except the tournament proper.

On a second thought, I want to believe Nigeria just want to deliberately confuse Congo DR into believing Ndidi will play.

Setaleonoz:
This

Is it CAF that will confirm or FIFA?

Nigeria wins 2026 world cup on American soil 32 years after it first took the world by storm.

TheSuperNerd:
Osasu is a journo I take seriously on fifa rules so I hope he is right.

So if indeed the playoffs yellows are counted different from the regular WCQs yellows, then thanks goodness.

Just that the rule that is available to us is the normal 2 yellow cards rule throughout a qualifying campaign or a tournament. The confusion has always been about whether cards accumulation at one stage of qualifiers carries into a fresh stage.
If only the specifics of the WCQs playoffs suspension rule was laid out or made publicly available, there wont be this much confusion, hence the reference to the general suspension rule.

Go with what's on Wikipedia. Though it updatable by the general public, the info there is 99% accurate.
It's better to play on the side of caution. Ndidi is suspended

mrwilliams9:
Osimhen might break Yekini's goal record by the time AFCON is over...but let's be honest, 37 goals as the highest goal scorer for a nation like Nigeria is quite low. Eto is Cameroon's highest goal scorer with 51. Salah is on 61 goals for Egypt, Drogba had 65 by the time he retired.

I think SE has had an issue in building teams with longevity. From tournament to tournament, things are always changing.

Honestly, Osimhen can break the African goal-scoring record (79 goals) held by Godfrey Chitalu from Zambia. Between AFCONQ, AFCON, WCQ and WC, games dey.

Also, Nigeria hardly utilised international window. Those players you mentioned played many more games to reach those numbers

With Ndidi on suspension, I hope coach would not be tempted to start Ekong as captain.

Goke7:
Does this warrant insults? Are the nff foreigners or Nigerians like you. What will change even if these current players become nff administrators tomorrow? Who is this nff that we keep blaming all the time as if it’s the same people that have been there since 1960.

Even if you’re the one there in the nff bruv nothing will change so please stop the pretence and self righteousness

You said all Nigerians are corrupt and unpatriotic. Yet on the other hand you expect the payers to show patriotism at all times even when cheated and abused. Isn't this your stance more pretence and self righteousness?

Tchinaidi:
The rig leaders of this protest that have almost jeopardized our chances of going to the world if not for timely intervention of the Noble NFF must be punished to serve as a deterrent to other players trying to show seeds of discord in the team.Where is the place of Patriotism in this quest to secure the ticket for the world at this particular point in time.They should have not brought it up at all especially given the slippery slope on which we set on our journey to qualify for this prestigious tournament 😠😠😠😠

Which NFF is noble? Do you really know theeaning of noble?
