What's your take?

Would Cameron have performed better than its replacement, Cape Verde?

Would Nigeria have performed better than South Africa and Congo DR?

It's hard to tell, probably Cameron would have beaten Saudi Arabia but loose to Argentina, and Uruguay; Nigeria would have performed better than South Africa but not Congo DR. Just my thoughts.

My opinion, we would have performed better…
Though we wobbled from the start of the qualifiers, however The momentum we gain from the start of Eric chelle would made a huge statement at the world cup if we had qualified.
It would have been a case of bad qualifiers but excellent world cup campaign. we not qualifying doesn’t mean we are a bad team, it simply a testament of our unpreparedness and how we take open matches for granted.. We couldn’t beat Lesotho first game and could beat Zim home and away, but got to d Afcon and started dispatching teams of same grade(Mozambique,Uganda,Tanzania) even also beating hands down those once that qualified(Algeria and Tunisia)
Tunisians are good in qualifiers but a terrible tournaments team..same with SA…
Its so sad we started poorly…
Same chopping and changing of Coaches during the 2022 qualifiers(Rohr qualified the team to play off against Ghana, but Eguavoen executed the both games…You see as bad as Rohr was he would have qualified us for that edition with his haram football.

In conclusion, super eagles of Afcon 2025 would have made a statement in USCANMEX 2026

the person blocking me, you are trying oo…una no want make i first this banku man

Swanzi:
After u post pictures of ur four afcon trophies am waiting 😂🤣

na me first ask…post yours first before i post mine

So far in this world cup Cape verde is the most solid African side…They were so unlucky to be in a very tight group and their path to the final is so crunchy.
Imagine drawing 3world champions in 90mins
1934 world cup winners Uruguay 2-2 (90mins)
2010 world cup champions 0-0 Spain (90mins)
2022 world cup winners 1-1 Argentina (90mins)

No African team faced such test

-Morocco have only faced one world cup champions Brazil 1-1 in 90mins, if they win Canada they will most likely face France in Qarter final…make we dey see

-Senegal played only one former world champions and lost 3-1 to them in 90mins (France)

-CIV played only one former world champions and lost 2-1 to them in 90mins (Germany)

-DRC played only one former world champions and lost 2-1 to them in 90mins (England)

-Algeria played only one former world champions and lost 3-1 to them in 90mins (Argentina)

-Ghana played only one former world champions and drew 0-0 with Zero shot on target building tower of babel at the back in 90 mins🤣🤣🤣(England)

Tunisia did not play any former world champions, swallowed 12goals in 3matches

Egypt did/have not faced any world champions, we will see them in few days against Argentina in round 16🤣🤣…na those kind North America Argentina dey use catch cruise.

SA did not play any former world champions

In summary, my verdict is that Capeverde would have advanced if they had met Norway,Belgium,Australia in r32

Use shot blind im eyes collect him juju

Swanzi:

Goke7:
I'll fancy both Algeria and Egypt, but hey wetin our eyes never see

Algeria vs Switzerland, hmmm make i no talk

ChrisKels:
Why will any right thinking person want Morocco to lose to Canada with the quality in the Moroccan squad, the hunger in them, and their enormous love for their country that makes them play their hearts out to defend their flag?

I just hope they will catch Portugal for me. 😂

As much as i dey back and support morocco, lets not be too overconfident oo especially when you are facing a home team….Canada will come out and play good football too oo…Canada will fancying their chances oo especially after seeing that Morocco 1-0 win over Scotland…that game dull

Algeria vs Switzerland
Ghana vs Colombia
Egypt vs Australia
CPV vs Argentina


oh father lord🤣🤣🤣

Odunayaw:
I did this short. The Senegalese defender was more interested in gaming the referee than defence.

He and the keeper are silly

https://youtube.com/shorts/cTdPYqQAWS0?si=q3xM5_Np-gr88pDY

chai so sorry for Senegal sha…abeg make dem come back house

FiveFootNinja:
Is there no chance in hell that Canada can upset Morocco? The host factor has to count for something, right? 🥹

Right? 😭🤧

I admire Morocco and their style, but the way they all so full headed and even insulting the Senegalese on social media dey pain me walai🤣🤣…can dey just jah ehnn

Goke7:
They are simply not good enough; Belgium and England were easy prey! In fact, they were both frustrated in the games; it was just moments of brilliance from their big players that were the defining breakthroughs. CIV no get striker so how will they win? Senegal was throwing away chances, and I will say it again: Congo is all power, no brain, so forget it.

Na where all their strength reach all the teams stop!

Walai those games pain me oo i no go lie, but like this my percentage support for Africa be like
30% of my being want them to do well, but 70% pf the other side of me want them to JAAAAAAH DANU🤣🤣🤣😂

Guys pls watch this angle replay of belgium 2-2 equalizer….If na Africa score that Equalizer, walai VAR will call the ref to cancel that goal….nothing u wan tell me, Tielamans pushed that defender before heading that ball….watch this particular replay on this link again

NasirIbnLaAhad:
Dude as far as this argument is concerned, I've tapped out. I could honestly keep going just to stretch the cognitive limits of these clowns, but at some point you realize you're not debating the argument, you're just debating people's mood, and moods don't respond to logic, they respond to time and consequences. Imagine one of them saying I'm being too "academic" for pointing out something so basic.

You're right that this conversation is everywhere right now, and the simple truth is because the pattern is that obvious to anyone with a brain. But some people in here would rather defend their right to be petty than sit with the discomfort of "yeah, this could easily have been us." That's fine, I'm not going to keep hosting a seminar nobody signed up for. I said my piece.

people are too petty and easily emotionally triggered here🤣🤣
Just say something humble against Nigeria wey all of us whole heartedly dey love and support or our continent Africa….you will start to see petty objections 🤣🤣.
One tell me say i dey too change mouth, becos he wants me to be analytically stationary with my analysis🤣🤣

Goke7:
Let every nation and FA handle their affairs abeg.

Germany and Holland are out, and European teams too are struggling should we say it’s becoming an European problem? If Belgium had lost yesterday would we call it an European problem, please…..

That Belgium is also weak why is no one talking about that

Offcus everyone will handle their affairs, e no still remove am say Africa dey mostly jonz on this things more.
After Europe, Africa has the second highest number number of participants…in r16 we should be having half of the CAF reps,but iffa hear say that one happen…Like this na only 1 or at best 2fit advance to that R16….Even with Germany and Holland wey jah they will he having like 7teams in r16.
if DRC get sense England no suppose smell r16
if CIV get sense Norway no suppose smell r16
if Senegal get sense Belgium no suppose smell r16
we suppose to get like 5CAF TEAMS in that r16(plus Morocco and possibly Egypt m)

Samueltemi337:
Emotional?
I was only correcting your wrong narrative
Nobody is talking about Japan success
The narrative that it's just an African problem is totally false

It should be more of Asian than of African…na we e dey Affect pass….we are supposed be bigger than Asia player wise

Samueltemi337:
Emotional?
I was only correcting your wrong narrative
Nobody is talking about Japan success
The narrative that it's just an African problem is totally false

the Narrative is more on Africa especially on our big big teams we expect more from…..
We have more stars than Asia in world of soccer, they should even be the ones suffering that narrative more than us….

chrisooblog:
4-4 draw that didn't prove consequential as bad as it was that's the crucial difference.

But sha we bottled cowardly a commanding lead Yes or No?

Samueltemi337:
Why did use the Korea match
What happened in the Japan vs Belgium match?
Or the Japan vs Brazil?
There are so many other matches like that and they don't even involve an African team
I really don't know why you guys are trying to make it look like it's just an African team problem in this thread

Why are you all just emotionally being triggered by the mention of this common menace that faces us?…..The Japan you are calling have experienced more successes or have covered more ground than all Africans put together especially black african at the world cup level by qualifying to knockout stage for like 6 different editions(No african team have eqauled that)…before we dreamed to reach Semifinals Korea has already broken that record.

Now to the emboldened, Baba its an African problem, and its not only on this thread they are discussing it…try dey observe posts by bloggers on Facebook,Tiktok,Twitter,Instagram..everyone is complaining thesame thing about African on videos,text and comment section….we here in Nairaland are just adding technical analysis and being elite with our dispositions.

BABA its majorly an AFRICAN THING from our Powerhouse to Minnows(if we be Haiti, Tahiti and Curacao then no issue) we are Africans with history of world class players, we should be gracing knockout stages like water and reaching Semifinal and Final like water, how can we do this is by avoiding this annoying defeat to some of these un-inform European teams, see as Paraguay take pursue Germany(if na Africa we go surely bottle that lead)…on no account should an entire African team not advanced to knockout stage just as we witnessed in 2018 world cup(very shameful edition where all 5 African powerhouse teams exited group stage. very very shameful!!)
And you same make people no talk🤣🤣🤣

mostob:
Please which app did you use?

I used Happyscribe AI Audio to text app

Goke7:
Which kind yeye fairytale people wey no allow Nigerian fans enter stadium for final. Shebi we don see their fairytale now! 😂 the same boy wey use injured Aina shine see open net throw away ball

na that same thing still dey vex me….walai with out form at that Afcon we suppose wire CIV…A serious coach for bury them clean

chrisooblog:
We sha still qualified out of that group so the draw no matter how bad didn't end up damaging our campaign.

Bro we are talking about our game plan/play not eventual qualification….if that game was what we need to qualify, e never spoil like that?

mablie:
Lol
At the 2014 world cup,the narrative was African teams could not defend setpieces.
This year's edition,African teams let in goals at the dying minutes.I cannot wait for the 2030 narrative.
My own be sai,African teams lost their matches because they lost their matches just like every other teams but Africans (particularly Nigerians) to dey hyper-focused on anything African so they dey always read into things wey no exist.This is another form of narcissism.
What happened in the Dr Congo vs England match is similar to what occurred in the Japan vs Brazil match but you don't see anyone hyper-pontificating on the latter do you?

As African let break away from it…2018 world cup Korea led Germany 1-0, in the die mins Germans piled up the pressure and were looking for an equalizer, Korea still found a way to finally bury them with a late counter 2-0…
This thing is not about “hyper-pontification”

Our problem as african is to remain focus…the chance for the most hyper informed black african team losing a match they had in control is almost 95%.. now flip to Asian history of when they are mostly inform against a not too inform European opponent….If Senegal was a Japan on 2-0 or Korea on 2-0 (especially against these European) bro forget that game is a wrap up…..

NasirIbnLaAhad:
Exactamundo. You're even going too far with Sierra Leone. Just this year's AFCON, not even up to a year ago, we would have completely bottled a 3 goal lead against Tunisia if Tunisia had 15-20 more extra minutes. They completely had our number towards the end of the match.

Of all defense, that oga want to defend that 4-4 draw🤣
