SportsRe: Burkina Faso Leader To CAF: How Did We Miss The Playoff? by miteolu(m): 4:11pm On Oct 17, 2025
Centwizzy13:
but why is this same rule not applied to both the winner because the winner also play the last team to gain points that make them top the group e.g South Africa ( 4 points vs Zimbabwean) both Nigeria and bukinafaso wound av qualify ahead of S. Africa if point were deducted from every team that played the last team in each group rather than just to determine who got second place
South Africa and Nigeria are in same group which makes it internal ranking. The rule is a mechanism for a fair inter-group comparison, not an internal group ranking tool.
SportsWhy Nigeria Qualified For Play-off Ahead Of Burkina Faso (CAF RULE) by miteolu(op): 3:14pm On Oct 17, 2025
The main reason Nigeria qualified for the World Cup play-offs over Burkina Faso recently was due to a technical rule concerning how the best runners-up were ranked, combined with a superior goal difference in the final adjusted standings.

Here is the breakdown, likely referring to the CAF qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup:

The Rule for Runners-up: The Confederation of African Football (CAF) had a rule that, when ranking the second-placed teams across the groups to find the "best four" for the play-offs, the results against the sixth (last-placed) team in each group were discounted (removed). This rule was applied because one group (Group E) had one less team due to Eritrea's withdrawal.

Impact on Burkina Faso: Burkina Faso had accumulated a high number of points (21) in their group. However, six of those points came from their two wins (home and away) against the last-placed team, Djibouti. When these results were removed, Burkina Faso's adjusted total dropped significantly to 15 points with an adjusted goal difference of +6.

Impact on Nigeria: Nigeria finished their group with 17 points. The last-placed team in their group (Zimbabwe) was more competitive, and Nigeria only managed two draws against them. When the results against the last-placed team were removed, Nigeria only lost two points, leaving them with an adjusted total of 15 points.

The Deciding Factor (Goal Difference): After the deductions, both Nigeria and Burkina Faso were level on 15 points. However, Nigeria finished with a superior goal difference (+7 for Nigeria versus +6 for Burkina Faso), which allowed Nigeria to take the final play-off spot among the best runners-up.

In short, Burkina Faso was hurt more by the rule because they took more points from their last-placed opponent than Nigeria did from theirs.

Burkina Faso (21points - 6points = 15points, 6goals diff). 6points was gained from the lowest Djibouti in their group
Nigeria (17points - 2points) = 15points, 7goals diff). 2points was gained from the lowest Zimbabwe in their group

Thank you

Watching the BBC documentary about banditry earlier today made me realise we're on far deeper shit than one could imagine.

Unfortunately, the heads of our military and intelligence agencies are alot more interested in lining their bottomless pockets with filthy lucre than nipping this seemingly insurmountable security threat in the bud.
Just finished watching the documentary. The solution to Banditry very simple but it seems government is not yet ready.
