Mujtahida:
This is the final straw. I have the instruction of my client to sue but the elders of this thread have pleaded for clemency on your behalf.

Wetin be dis?😂

elyte89:
U get insider about the dr Congo case?

Cos as I Dey like dis if dem give me option for us to lift afcon or win d case and not win afcon …na d latter option I go pick o

The problem is that people don't understand the case
As someone who has studied FIFA rules and Congolese laws, I'm not even concerned about world cup playoffs, congo may face a lengthy ban ( a year or more)
Whetter we lose the intercontinental playoffs or not is another issue.

FiveFootNinja:
Part of me actually thinks it may be the other way round. From my viewing experience, I don't think there's any rivalry in Africa as toxic and vitriolic as Egypt vs Algeria. So it will be interesting to see how the Egyptian referee prosecutes this game. If there's bias involved, it could swing either way, not just Algeria alone.

I have a feeling Dr congo might just win Algeria tho 😑

BankyGee:
Walahi... Make we win DR Congo for quarterfinal, win the AFCON, win the case against DR Congo for FIFA panel, then win intercontinental playoffs... 😅

DR Congo fit send military enter Nigeria 😂

You see that FIFA case ehh 100% Dr congo is out... The problem now he say we fit still lose that intercontinental playoffs 💀
I'd rather play Algeria in quarter finals abeg than Dr congo
For semi final give me south Africa
Then finals Senegal
I think I this part will be more easier to win the AFCON than playing Dr congo in quarters, Morocco in semi's

jihday:
Nigeria vs Tunisia had a Malian referee

With the recent controversies surrounding north Africans and referees... It's quite normal to suspect foul play with both VAR abd referee all being Egyptians😑

I'd come back to this comment Sha when Algeria gets a dubious penalty, or Dr Congo's goal get cancelled unjustly

Mujtahida:
Be careful with this your last line else you'd be involved serious litigation with my client.

Try find work for your client first😂

Algeria vs Dr congo match to be officiated by an Egyptian referee, including VAR

Okay CAF, we get your message 😂

elyte89:
lol c where u hang ball 🤣🤣🤣

😂
Gabon are currently looking for coach, you fit apply

elyte89:
Ur interpretation to my post gave it that meaning ..and Dts not my responsibility..I never compared anybody but d scenario is giving d same vibe of second round exit

Why does a coach making the CAF best XI, give you "same vibes as second round exit"??👀
When it's literally two different coaches in this scenario?
You dey eye Eric Chelle job Sha so I understand Sha🌝

elyte89:
Eguavoen too was d coach of the team after first round b4 a depleted Covid -19 Tunisian 🇹🇳 team ousted us from d competition

You see the problem with you people? Why the comparison?
Learn to give accolades when necessary,
Eric Chelle is not eguaveon.

For those of you saying Chelle is not good enough
Look below, even CAF knows how good he is
But many Nigerians dey delusional

If Algeria like make Dem score 100 goals... Them and Tunisia dey the same WhatsApp group for me 😑

comodo:
See as I rush go FIFA site. Na so Senegal and Morocco full there. Bloggers no go kpai person for this country.

This Ryan guy.. do you know if he has been cleared to play for us

This is so funny 😂

No team has scored more goals than Nigeria at AFCON 2025 so far.

First Nation to qualify for AFCON round of 16, 2025.

Soaring 🦅
Let's focus on the positives please
Chelle go improve no worry

Not watching currently... Was it a penalty?

Na me dey lead 3-1.... Na me still dey fear ooh Chim😭

BARAJ92:
Which kind sub b dis. Leading 3-1 anf making attacking sub

Our strength is in attack not defense.... Chelle focuses on our strength... Which is attack

BankyGee:
mekabuachi no 3 hours to go today 🙄😏

No vex 😂
I bin dey kitchen since no time to post 🌝

Wanted to listen to live commentary of the senegal vs Dr congo match on radio...
All three stations i tuned to, were broadcasting premier league matches
The respect we want the Europeans to give the AFCON, we never even respect the AFCON ourself first lol

Bossoflife25:
Nwabali

Awaziem Bassey Ajayi Zaidu/Bruno


Iwobi Ndidi

Dele

Chukwu Osimhen Lookman

If ndidi dare start against Tunisia we fit no even see draw.

Till FIFA post I no dey believe anything 🌝😑

💀

JohnBullMySon:
Lol. Google 'DRC 2007 moratarium on Dual Citizenship'. Even DRC current president is a Belgian citizen.

Meanwhile I've said it before that FIFA won't debate how DRC inteprets and enforces its law.

Do you know congo has a different/special passport given to only government officials, ministers and military personnel?
I think you should Google that too

solonnachi:
What are our chances on this case?

95% for me... I am even more convinced on this, than that of South Africa point deduction (the mokeona case)
If FIFA suspends congo for anything less than a year na ojoro

Setaleonoz:
One Jeff Katala from DR Congo said on Soccer Africa yesterday that DR Congo suspended dual citizenship in 2017 and now allows it.

The same Congolese that have been saying they only violated their own constitution and not FIFA rules

solonnachi:
If FIFA eventually favours DR Congo, Nigeria should bring in Gift Orban into the SE.

Just what if we win the case and still go on to lose the playoff.... Omo the whole of Africa go kill us😂😂

Karlovich:
FIFA hasn't made a decision yet regarding the complaint

I've checked all FIFA socials and even some reputable news outlets.... I no see anything na why I ask 😂

ThunderFireAgba:
Case Details:

Nigeria's Claim: The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) argued that the player in question did not meet specific eligibility criteria, primarily focusing on DR Congo's domestic law which does not recognize dual citizenship. Nigeria alleged that FIFA was deceived during the clearance process, as some players held European passports in addition to their Congolese ones.FIFA's Ruling: After a thorough review of the evidence and player registration records, FIFA concluded that DR Congo had complied with all of its regulatory requirements. FIFA evaluates player eligibility based on its own sporting nationality rules, not a country's domestic constitutional law, and the players in question had been cleared by FIFA prior to the match.Outcome: Nigeria will not be awarded points or a replay of the match, and the result, which saw DR Congo win on penalties after a 1-1 draw in full time, stands. 

This ruling is considered final, and NO further appeals are expected.

Where did you see this ?🌝

FiveFootNinja:
One Benin player fouled Wan-Bissaka. So as they were preparing for free kick that's when he said it. I can't say it verbatim but it was something like "he was one of the players Nigeria complained about for having dual citizenship"

Thanks for the reply

elyte89:
Who heard d commentator now about dr Congo case …e b like say d judgement go favour us o

What were his exact words?

Scoreline prediction for today's game
Nigeria 4 -1 Tanzania
😂
