My worry isn’t super eagles winning Zimbabwe and Rwanda but Benin and SA go gree lose?

Imagine if this match end like this benin don jump enter 10 points 😳

E no go easy oooooo

we still need to beat Rwanda and Zimbabwe…Ben and SA will likely come out as draw or one of them will win next week…its just to close in on them….omo we have to win our two matches…if two of them win thier games they will be on 10points, then if they meet themselves next week, either a draw will reduce the gap with us

omo if 9ja no qualify, i prefer to see this Gernot rohr led side at the world cup jare….but all hope is not lost sha

Zim 0-2 Ben…omo this one is a wrap jare

Danielnino00:
Where are you watching from pls?

Go to Federation Beninoise de Football facebook page, they are live streaming it

deltafly:
Nigerian chances become dimmer as Benin Republic takes the lead . We really messed up dropping points against Lesotho and Zimbabwe. Whatever happens we have ourselves to blame .

asin eehn…anyways lets just keep winning our own game sha…i know one of Benin and SA will drop points against each other next week…just win this Rwanda and Zimbabwe get your nine point and trail the leaders with one or two or three points

Benin and Gernot rohr really wan go world cup🤣🤣
now now dem don knack 1goal
Zim 0-1 Ben

mekabuachi:
Zimbabwe and Benin just started

also watching😀

opes:
Even to qualify for the play off won't be easy. After four matches, this is how the table for the runner up look like, first four will qualify for playoff

this route is so stressful abeg..the 4 of them will be paired to play a 4 team semifinal and final tournament..the winner goes to play in Inter-confederation tournament against teams from Asia,South America,North America and Oceania..no african team can survive this stage abeg

charlesemeka85:
na draw match

if the match ends in draw, then its should boost super eagles…if Zimbabwe wins Benin, Nigeria will occupy the bottom position for the next 24hrs…see as them dey use us do kalo kalo🤦🏼

mekabuachi:
What time?

I wan watch the match... Abeg no ask me why😂

by 5pm

football ehhn,just imagine how cameroon gambled their top position…
Now if Libya and If Cape verde wins at home today, they wil be joint leader, then cameroon will drop to 3rd…
AFRICAN FOOTBALL !🤣🤦🏼🤦🏼

BankyGee:
Your confidence level don dey drop? 😂

omo as the day draws close🤣🤣 my eyes dey open oo my heart dey do gbim gbim gbim🤣🤣…but my hope will begin to raise again if Zimbabwe can help us hold Benin to a draw or even win Benin…i wouldnt want SA to win Lesotho and Benin also win Zim…both of them will now enter 10pts…..atleast make e b say na only 1 person we dey pursue..
Worst case result
-Rwa wins 10pts
-SA wins 10pts
-Ben wins 10pts
na make we just forget world cup, however inversely

-SA wins 10pts or draws 8pts
-Ben lose 7pts or draws 8pts
-Rwa lose 7pts, no option for a draw or win for them
-Nigeria wins 6pts

omo i dey shake🤣

Mujtahida:
Let's try and qualify oo. If not let's try and go for play offs.

10 African countries and naija will not be there? That will be awful.

But how did we find ourselves in this situation with pangolo countries like Lesotho, Rwanda, Zimbabwe in our group. Mehn, we did not do well.

if we must qualify for play off, we would need like 14points or 15points to be among the 4teams for play offs….but meehn that play off na another stress o

BankyGee:
African football hard o. See Cameroon dey find am hard to score baby Eswatini of 13.00 odds 😂

east africa and southern african countries don dey wise up na

Blueelf:
Super Eagkes, please win

I beg you.

Win all your matches please

even though na
Rwa 0- 1Nig
Nig 1-0 Zim

september
SA 0-1 Nig
Nig 1-0 Rwa

october
Les 0-1 Nig
Nig 1-0 Ben
world cup here we come🤣🤣

zicky:
maybe because Aina was doing better than Shehu in club football

how na…2018 world cup shehu and Ebuehi were worthy selections to that world cup…Aina just switched to play for super eagles in 2017..you cant drop shehu that played almost all qualifiers and go with aina that just switching allegiance….people den start dey shout quota system that year

zicky:
why were fans not shouting quota system during Garba lawal and Babagida time, do you know how many goal Onuachu was scoring before he was invited to the SE and fans still talk against his inclusion in the team. Maybe if he was from the north you for bring up the northern abi Hausa agenda

oga the quota system noise started with Musa and Shehu, as if those guys were not worthy to play in super eagles…even 2018 wc una say na quota system carry shehu enter the team….like how?…

jihday:
can’t remember the last time Aribo had a meaningful game for us, why is Papa Daniel there? You can point these out but you are trying to single out the 2 northerners there, the form Sadiq is in if it’s a southerner many people will probably argue for him to start , Yusuf was one of the better players for us in our last game why should he be dropped? Or you just want him out because he’s Hausa ?

Northern inclusion in super eagles always spark annoying reactions amongst fans…most people just hate to see those Hausa boys donning the eagles jersey whether they are playing well in their club or not😀…
this thing started with musa and shehu dispensation
Quota system🤣🤣🤣🤣

Firstly, Hassan with just 6games for SE is a proven Dm that cannot be dropped but Onyeka 26games,Onyedika 12games,Ndidi 62games are not proven DM and can be dropped for Hassan with just 6games for Nigeria and less than 5games for his club this season.
Talking about Shehu, I've no issues with his invitation but keeping Ebuehi and Aina on the bench for him is where I've issues. Rohr insisting on playing him almost cost us a world cup place. And yes Aina and Shehu was member of the SE almost same time, Shehu only started ahead from the Chan Eagles.

my own b say hassan play some nice games at the afcon and his contribution also took us to final…cant wait to have Onyeka back shaa

oga this one can happen to anybody…costing us a place in the world cup is not becos he is not a good player or he directly played nonsense to cost us…what if it was ebuehi that was ineligible and they later went on to field him, no b same thing…that one na administration problems, other countries faces such mistake

shehu started playing for super eagles as far back as 2014, she has played and became an integral part of super eagles as a senior man before Aina came, una too like blind arguement…person that was regularly playing 2015 Afcon qualifiers, and also featuring in 2017 afcon qualifiers, also featured in 2016 Olympics….oga shehu senior Aina wella in the super eagles mix, which time Aina start dey open eyes to join super eagles…all these period Aina was still busy playing for England Age grade teams…leave all this yeye argument..after you will start saying beer parlor analysis yen yen..shehu was playing well for us before Aina came,so you expect Aina to walk into the team and Bench him abi?….And by the way why do u say Ebuehi is better than shehu, checking their career statistics who did better? Shehu a defensive player having a total of 10 career goals to Ebuehi having just 4career goals…Prove to us that Ebuehi is better than shehu, becos shehu is northerner abi and Ebuehi is a foreign breed?

Truidstarr:
I hope Eric Chelle and his assistants are working on set pieces. We get an average of 16.5 set pieces per game ( corners and free kicks combined) we have not converted any in our last 5 matches.

as we we are working on set pieces let us also strive hard to defend set pieces…only south africa score us in the run of play..others use set pieces to shut us up
Nig 1-1 Lesotho (lesotho scored via corner kick uzoho was the keeper)

Zim 1-1 Nigeria (Zim scored via free kick, uzoho was the keeper)

Ben 2-1 Nigeria (Ben scored the winning goal via corner kick, Nwabali was the keeper)
our defenders need to watchout for set pieces…cos it is what is keeping us in the 5th position till today

Hostility resumes today
Eswatini 🇸🇿 v Cameroon 🇨🇲
Liberia 🇱🇷 v Tunisia 🇹🇳
CAR 🇨🇫 v MadagasCAR 🇲🇬

Philosopher1979:
At the bolded, you said we need creative players that can score impossible goals from any angle.
One of the few players who can do that in the Super Eagles is Sadiq Umar.
He has all these impossible goals in his locker.
I know a lot of people here dont rate him but every player has his strengths.
Creativity and technicality is one of his strengths.
Another creative magical player is Chidera Ejuke.
Samuel Chukwueze is also capable of magic but he is not consistent.

thank you sir🙌🏻, but sir abeg no let political/Quota system people see this post ooo🤣🤣….
the game on friday, im sure Rwanda will seat back to counter us…they are on 7pts, a draw with us and then they meet lesotho again in kigali next week…those guys are potentially looking for 11points by end of this march qualifiers

Danielnino00:
All these teams have one style when they play us: park the bus..... Until we figure out a way to beat teams that park the bus, it's gonna be a long ride for us in this qualifier..... .
I would like to see Simon start on Friday...he should wipe in some of those crosses for Osimhen... Aina and Bruno too.....

its always difficult beating teams that park the bus though anywhere in the world
Barca, Bayern, Argentina Portugal have all tasted this sour football from opponents, so these kinda of opponents tight defenses will always need their defense to be opened by a solo brilliant effort of one of the team member…thats why everyone need to keep fighting from the blast of the whistle
- i remember Argentina sweating to unlock Iran defense till die mins before the solo effort Messi could find a winning goal in 2014 WC

- i remember Nigeria sweating hard to unlock Tanzania, until a brilliant solo effort from Iheanacho came and open them

even Portugal vs Morocco, Ronaldo sweat tire nothing came out

zicky:
Point of correction, Abdullahi was never a hot player, wasn't better than Ebuehi and Aina of then, was just an everyday average player. Hassan is not doing better than Uche or Onyeka, neither is he in a better league. For Sadiq he has something going for him, whenever it's close to a qualifier he start scoring for his club and he's in a good club and a good league, so even if you don't like his playing style, you can't fault his invitation.

Oya continue Inviting only Ola Aina na, so that he will keep playing every match, its even funny how you are comparing Ola Aina’s and Shehu as regarding when both players started playing for super eagles, are they mates in super eagles?
…when Shehu was playing, shey Aina don agree to switch to super eagles no b England baba still dey play for?…as for Ebuehi his career was hugely disturbed with injury, and you can’t leave out a certain Shehu that was having a regular game time in Turkey…besides they both(Ebuehi/Shehu)were in the 2018 world cup squad meaning they were our active players then…my earlier post you quoted did not tell you that shehu was hotter than anyone, i only said a time when shehu was hot(playing competitively for Bursaspor of Turkey means he was fit and playing good number of games)

Hassan is not doing better than onyeka,and because he is not in a better league okay sir we hear you sir coach…..but im sure you still dont wanna see Boniface’s name on that list, i know say you follow frown at Boniface invite despite him playing in a better league….as far the DM is concerned Hassan is one of super eagles proven players….im not also happy Onyeka was not invited, but im not vexed Hassan was invited

your last point, “oga i dont need to fault Sadiq invitation because i dont like his playing style… as many here love to see Okoye im super eagles,im 1 person that do not love his goalkeeping style and confidence in super eagles, that doesn’t mean i should start hugging transformer if they invite him(he is also a super eagles player of this dispensation)

The last times this present dispensation of super eagles defeated stubborn african sides at home in last 4years

S/Leone 2-3 Nigeria (very stubborn west afrcan country)

G/Bissau 0-1 Nigeria (Giant silencers)

Ben 0-1 Nigeria (Grade B quality west african team)

C/Verde 1-2 Nigeria (Always a tough nut to crack)

Common Super eagles lets go teach these Rwandans a lesson

ive said it times without number here….you people should respect the list…at a time Musa and Abdullahi were hot players, people still complained that there invitations were political and quota system….if we have any notherm player doing fine for super eagles and there club abeg they worth the invite…i dont rate Sadiq, but make una leave am, scoring in La liga no b beans…like i said earlier
Uche
Sadiq
Hassan
Dessers
Onyeka
Onuachu are all doing fine in their respective leagues, they are all still super eagles player, wether them invite them or not

lexyman:
come friday will mark hthe first time we will beat Rwanda on their soil . its going to be interesting !

if Libya could go there and beat them in a must win match…. super eagles common naaaa wetin dey chelle na😭😩😩

Odunayaw:
Na just one match wey we score first & lose o. No create omen from one occurrence o

See the way my heart first fly!

but somehow the omen follow us enter AfconQ, we first Rwanda score and we still lose the game for uyo

Nigeria 1-1 lesotho
Zimbabwe 1-1 Nigeria
Nigeria 1-1 South africa
Benin 2-1 Nigeria
Osimhen is the only player yet to taste the 2026 world cup qualifiers….the question remains,
-why could the bulk of 99% super eagles player not beat this guys.
its not even about Osimhen now playing his first qualifiers, super eagles players need to change their mentality about playing on african soil….they gas up their resilient spirit….Rwanda will come at us

MetalJigsaw:
SA winning both games shouldn't be more than 40% because they're playing a very good BEN away. And we know how inconsistent the SA side can be.

asin eehn all these teams are just fortunate to be leading the group now…we will know who serious at the end of Matchday 5 & 6
