Four points from the next two games will guarantee advancement to the playoffs.

The most important game is our home game with Cape Verde, guy even if na 1-0 it's enough to qualify, if they like they can and loose the last game to Liberia away...but for the sake of ranking, pride stake, and quality football we should try and win both games... nutshell! winning against Cape Verde qualifies us to last round

BARAJ92:
What did this same Algeria play against Burkina Faso

Haba bros, Burkina Faso is a top African team na....no be 1-0 we struggle beat them for Afcon final?, Algeria self knows team they can humiliate na... Algeria cant mesmerize some decent west African teams like Mali,b/Faso, Benin

I didn't watch our game today, but I jus watched d highlights, meeehhhnnn how on earth did osimhen loose that opportunity na :'.... confident dribblers like Ejuke, Chukwueze (against Sierra Leone) iheanahcho ( against Zambia), will calm down and yeye that defender, if keeper join sef, all of them will be "yeyed" before slotting that ball into the net.
Even ahmed Musa yeyering d Iceland defense at d WC

daveP:
I'm an Ighalo fan like you. But easy with the Legend tag na. Shuu.


If Moses and Ighalo fit enter this team again, I'd be happy. But most here won't like the sound of that. Only Ekong, Musa and Balogun are the oldest in the squad right now. Says alot. I won't mind having 5 older players.
But easy with Legend tag.

Omeruo sef na old man for eagles o

Osimhen! Should be scoring 2to 3goals in super eagles matches against minnows..jus like he did against Lesotho...hope he's not loosing his beastly nature in front of goal for the super eagles

Strugglingman:
Good morning everyone ...its match day today

Hopefully we get a win today

Hopefully? No longer certainly!! Nigeria is now a minnow

Abuja current look
They should jus try and put digital advert board around the throwing and corner areas..we no go die if them do so, not Everytime calling carpenter to help Dem construct wood board where they will paste buhar and osibanjo/ Apc and tomtom advert on

Abuja stadium is looking clean and Behind now like this douala stadium...pitch surface of Uyo is turning into an eye sore

samtol4:
South Africa leading away against Ethiopia

Ghana will have serious mountain to climb with these SA side hot form o

jihday:
I bet you’d have said same about Egypt prior to their meeting in 2018

Lai Lai, me no rate Egypt outside Africa, na only Africa them get muscle

Danielnino00:
The "we are glad we didn't play,so the fans won't have roasted us" team

I swear if these guys read some of our comments here on Nairaland them go laugh

do4luv14:
while the CAR coach was busy dishing out instructions from sideline,

our own dey watch proceeding, while strolling

I jus weak

andrewbaba44:
Algeria is good

African teams always have good form then go to the World Cup and fumble

Remember it took Germany the eventual 2014 winner an extra time of 120mins football to outclass them... i bet they would have beaten any top Asian team in that round 16...even in group stage they hammered south Korea 4-2.
They were jus unlucky to meet a Nigerian team filled with individual stars to deny them 2018 WC

Matter of discuss


Can we win CAR tomorrow?

We've seen a replay of this scenario before.

1. We failed to beat Sleone at Freetown after they embarrassed us at home leveling up from 4 goals down.

2. We failed to beat South Africa also in Jo'burg after they beat us 2-0 in our own backyard enroute the last afcon qualification.

Based on these alone, it isn't likely we would beat CAR in cameroun tomorrow. Best may be to come back home with a draw or even at worst get beaten again.


What is likely to change in tomorrow's game?


Nothing. Rohr's utter disrespect of the midfield position has come back to haunt us. He should have invested in more midfielders. What are we doing calling up 10 defenders?

CAR will likely play as they did on Friday. Deny us space in the midfield, play a compact defensive and hit us on the counter on long balls.

Fun fact: CAR had 2 chances from long balls and in both chances Balogun fumbled leaving Uzoho to save one and leak in the other.


Is our qualification at risk?

Yes if we fail to beat CAR and Cape Verde beats Liberia.


Let's see how it goes tomorrow. We stay optimistic. Many of us have lost confidence in Rohr. He has built our team into a compact one defensively but he is bereft of ideas when attacking. We have no attacking game plan and we do not know how to break down defensive teams who park the bus.


Let's hope the boys come to the rescue and get lucky this time.

I doubt eagles under rohr to get revenge against a team that previously handed a disgrace to us..only keshi some how succeeded in that area
Nig 1-1 Ken
Ken 0-1 Nig

Nig 2-3 Con
Con 0-2 Nig

Although he failed to revenge against SA
Nig 2-2 SA
SA 0-0 Nig

andrewbaba44:
And so what ?

You think African teams are that better than japan abi

Same Saudi wey beat Egypt for 2018 World Cup

Bros u can't compare Egypt to Algeria as per world cup form...
If Algeria catch that Saudi team, na fiam! 3lashes of cane for them nyash

humility33:
Saudj Is a force to reckon with when it comes to Asia football same with Iran and UAE
It's like Nigeria playing algeria or Senegal at the moment

Algeria will beat that Saudi team

Sportilitica:
Yet people say there are no minnows in football.
We need a new coach or ideas as we are passing poor at the moment.
Rohr has tried, he can throw in the towel.
I have been following some African teams and the way the play makes me wonder what is wrong with the SE

I tire oo my bro.....not only on paper, on d pitch minnows full Africa like mad, it takes Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and to some extent Senegal and CIV to fish them out by hammering them goals with over 5.5

John ogu back with super eagles and has commenced training with the team Rorh ooooooo

daveP:
until dem jam Japan for group stage and colet. I dunno how Nigeria does it despite all these abysmal displays, but they seem to do better at WC than other African teams. I really hope Algeria reps well tho.


The days of
jabo jabo jabo jabo
Jabo, Tunisia lo ma jabo

Is fresh in memory. I hope it doesn't get to that. This set are too too talented to be wasted and waiting for another 4years.

Japan wey Herve Renard Saudi Arabia beat for their home this evening

Lolzzz I remember this particular chant prior to our WCQ against Tunisia in 2009. Dr rafiu ladipo interview on Radio Nigeria sport show...the man jus dey boost with d song

If we fail to qualify, Im standing with these Algerian team ...them dis one go beat any african team they see..they should help redeem Africa image by helping us reach atleast semifinal

Algeria 6-1 Niger mad oooo
15goals in 3matches...

Algeria don nyash Dem 1

30 mins gone
Niger no wan gree for Algeria oo
Djibouti sef no wan gree for Burkina Faso....CAR has shown minnows how to hold there own

forgiveness:
All should stop this name calling. Sound racist

Ok ooo

cromz:
We won’t drop from top 5 once we win the away game. The points are calculated by wins not score lines.

And u think loosing to lowly rated car on home soil will not hugely affect d point?

owbabs:
Why do I have the feeling Onyeka was responsible for the goal we conceded?
If need had held his ground and not launch in only to be looped, the player would not have made the forward pass behind Ekong and Balogun.

Bro how can an unknown striker race pass to albino so easily...a typical 9ja born and bred defender go clear that guy leg before e enter box 18

Bruno metsu died 7yrs ago na

Sportilitica:
I used to defend Rohr but I have had my reservations about our pattern of play. No crosses or purposeful passing. No synergy in this team and it has been 5 years. I have been watching other African teams and I believe we have decent players but are so disjointed that they are a pain to watch a times. Even if we can not play attractive football at least play the basics.
I am not pissed we lost which can happen to any team but the fact that we have no identity and pattern is really disturbing. I believe it is time for Rohr to bow out.
People using salary as an excuse do have a point but the coaching is so poor that there is not much to be desired.
I wonder if Bruno Metsu is still available to coach. That would be a better replacement.
For Rohr, I do expect anything better afrom the SE anymore.
If we take this attitude to any major tournament the I am sorry to say we will be beaten black and blue.
No aspect of the team is working presently and that should worry true SE fans.
I rest my case

Bruno metsu ? Na from grave he wan come coach us? Abi him don resurrect?...or is there another Bruno metsu aside d one that led Senegal to quarter final 2002?

Lets just get ready to face any of these sides In the knockout phase
Senegal
Algeria
Tunisia
Morocco
Egypt/CIV will leapfrog us from top 5
, i.e if we qualify sef, Fifa is surely dropping us outta top 5 with all these yeye struggling games against minnows
Against Lesotho meagre 3-0
Against Sierra Leone struggle 4-4
Against Liberia meagre 2-0
Against Cape Verde lucky own goal 2-1 win
Against Motor CAR stupidly shameful defeat

Some how some how, I jus get irritated seeing ekong and balogun man our defence....when dey wan off like this, they will jus be likean average Malta or Macedonian defenders....I dey enjoy awaziem most times at defense, although error prone but omeruo to me still looking cool esp against all this minnows In Africa

Under rohr the record breaker
Nig 0-2 SA(first competitive loss against SA)
Mad 2-0 Nig
Nig 4-4 s/leone
Nig 0-1 CAR (first ever win)
If they don't sack that man we will see more like
Djibouti 2- 0Nig
Eritrea 2-0 Nig
Swaziland 1-0 Nig
Tahiti 3-0 Nig....make una dey watch
