10 group winners are already qualified automatically. There is only spaces for 3 more. So all 10 teams that finish 2nd in their group including Portugal, Russia etc will join the best 2 teams from Nations League who couldn't finish 2nd or better in their qualifying group, making 12 teams to vie for 3 remaining World cup qualifying slots.

So, its gonna be a tough task. Reason Ronaldo was seen crying yesterday after Serbia defeat.

chai . . not an easy quest o
No wonder waSIU was almost in tears yesterday

do4luv14:

Danielnino00:
Definitely more intelligent than Ghanaians.. lol

Parrot69:
YES. Appeal, cos I see you’re here to appeal your own case on Nairaland.
Don’t forget also to appeal to: Icons4,
Appeal to KOG45
Appeal to Forgiveness
Appeal to TheGoodjoe
Appeal to Philosopher1979
Appeal to charlesemeka85
And Danielninio0.

Lastly, if your wailing mounts to futility then you can now make brutal Appeal to ECOWAS and AU.
You lots are good in throwing jabs at Nigerians on this forum.
Serves you right !
No football for you tillllllll 2035.

chai. .
You wicked bro
If their appeal failed, they can even head to tribunal or supreme court.

JohnBullMySon:
This thing pain me that year. On a Sunday.

Not only you bro. .the match was painful. I think we already lost at home to them. That second leg was to show them we're still their boss but referee happened

You people should carry your wailing comot abeg.

Collins goal against Liberia wey dem ruled out for offside nko... World didn't end.

I remember a particular qualifier away match against SA . .I think Nacho scores two legitimate goals but both were ruled offside.

Na SA time o make dem swallow am like that

Wizzzzmike:
Dude do you watch football at all... u sound like Nigerian lol. Cheap or soft penalty happens in Europe just that they have VAR and we don't

How do Nigerians sound? Answer fast

andrewbaba44:
Ronaldo cannot deliver against Serbia ,no way to stat pad

If to say na San Marino ans Luxembourg the Warey go don score 4 goals within 20 minutes

Congrats to Serbia jare ,Portugal should go and fight to qualify through the playoffs

Congrats to my second country Spain also ,Barca has produced another genius kid named Pablo gavira who is now a regular for Spain at just 17 .

i heard the Serbian president promised each player 400+ million if they qualify and you think no be die dem go die for field

andrewbaba44:
That’s why Memphis Depay is already stat padding like cr7

CR7 suppose dey like 300 international goals sef . . . imagine playing against part-time carpenters , gardeners

European qualifier na pure cruise. .

Even Slovakia dey nack one country like that 6-0 .

FIFA should reduce their slots jare.

They are just using the qualifiers to statpad and increase their ranking

do4luv14:
hmmm the way am seeing the situation of our darling Chickens, and their mother hen Rohr,

he will be calling on Vicmo for the final qualifying to save face, since Ighalo is already on the bag

see ehn. . I'm even tired of that man.
If recalling Vicmo will make him win AFCON, he should call him.

elyte89:
If dere was no foul,dere won't b any reason to play a freekick so I will blame ndidi 90% for d defeat

Another logic.

It is because of situation like that a team should have a good goalie.

Something like that do happen in football and most of the time, the keeper was able to bail out the team.

The free kick no even pain reach the way those Algerian kids dey use us catch cruise.

andrewbaba44:
And you didn’t blame ndidi for that unnecessary foul ba

Ndidi get his own share of the blame but the way Akpeyi set his wall and his positioning, the thing look amateurish.

JohnBullMySon:
So na Sierra Leone wey happen one year back you dey use judge na?

Just one of many. If na one of ours conceded those 4 goals, una no go spare am.

jihday:
can’t remember Okoye committing a blunder that results to a goal, I agree he have to be more commanding but I don’t understand where the criticism is coming from and it’s not like his competitors are outstanding

This is exactly the point. Mind you, he needs to improve in other aspects too. But for now, he has not done anything to justify he is better than Uzoho. That is the fact

jihday:
there was, struggling for game time at club level also made a blunder that gifted opponent a goal during Afcon qualifier

Which goal abeg? Remind me. Are the cheap goals your Okoye was conceding not enough reason to.bench him the way Uzoho was benched?

jihday:
lol, I imagine what many of you would have said if Uzoho was laiskin. Uzoho who was unjustly picked ahead of Ezenwa who kept 4/6 2018 WCQ games conceding no goal from open play and also had a fantastic 2018 CHAN

Who was the better goalkeeper between the two as at that time?

andrewbaba44:
Explain this ?

Mahrez's free kick

Get well soon

andrewbaba44:
When akpeyi was at the post at afcon i remember so many people insulting him even when he did well

Maduka dey learn for where akpeyi dey for criticism

Akpeyi will never be forgiven if he was the one that conceded 4 goals against sierra leone, they will blame him and leave the defensive errors

Exactly my point. .
If he can buckle up and improve, he has my full support but his performances have not been convincing.

JohnBullMySon:
So has Maduka been poor?

Poor. . .

Has he being convincing?

Has any of his performance indicate he is better than Uzoho?

He, being a FB has being working for him.
If Uzoho or Akpeyi are the one conceding 4 goals and making mistakes, would you have spared them?

TheLoneCitizen:
The fact you can only draw on the world cup 2018 is testament of not facing the status quo.

Using your module:
Since Etebo was our best player then, no midfielder should bench him today,regardless of his club form.
Ahmed Musa was our top scorer, so no winger should start ahead of him, regardless of club form.

Do you realise that one year after his World Cup heroics, he was benched for Akpeyi at AFCON?

Nothing against Uzoho but Okoye's club form has justified his inclusion.

And then you say not give us any good performance. Man is unbeaten with Nigeria.

You've started twisting the argument. The 'world cup' in my argument is to show you how high he has performed as far as the level of football is concerned.
At least Musa and Etebo are not starting games for us due to the availability of better options. You bringing them into the argument means you're nailing yourself

There was no reason to bench Uzoho for Akpeyi during the AFCON. Rohr tries it and we paid for it in the most painful manner.

andrewbaba44:
Am I wrong ?

I rate ramsdale , but Na Leno cause everything

You're right. Leno messed up. His mistakes at the back, taking time to pass out from the back, passing to the wrong player, decision making, lack of commands and quietness made him lose the starting spot to Rammy

orriyomi33:
He was already celebrating his cleansheet before the end of that match.

I just like that guy.

TheLoneCitizen:
Good. I'm also sure you realise that invitation is based on performance in club football. For a GK, game time is extremely important, and Okoye has enjoyed almost 10 times more minutes than Uzoho in a lower league.

Before Okoye came around, I remember almost everyone on this thread complaining of Uzoho's butter fingers.

And talking about national to club level transition: Simon had an efficient game against Liberia, he was disciplined at wingback.

Onuachu has given us goals whenever he is called, so why compare his 33 goals at club level to country.

Ndidi has also been off the boil for Nigeria.

You've got great facts. Now, let me ask. .despite his club form and game time, how has he not give us any good performance? I expect him to be better and more convincing by now. I have nothing against him but dude needs to step up. Uzoho was great for us during the last world cup despite his age and lack of exposure.

As for moses and Onuachu, I still insist both have not really showed their club form in GWG

andrewbaba44:
And ramsdale is now there to stay with his good performance

Be like that guy dey sniff something sef . . .he took a goal kick during that leceister match and he threw a fist immediately after the ball left his leg.
His confidence, distribution, commands and Agbero charisma are part of what made him bench Leno.

andrewbaba44:
Normally Leno is better than ramsdale ,but as e looseguard dem bench am for ramsdale

Gbam!

TheLoneCitizen:
Being in the Eredivisie team of the year as a GK is no cakewalk. The Eredivisie is the highest scoring league in world football.

Form is temporary.

You're right bro. I'm sure you'll also agree with me that NT is different from club footy. Moses Simon was bagging assists for his club steadily but he has been playing poorly for naija. Onuachu is a goal machine for his club but his form in GWG is not really that good when compared to his club form.

Kolasinac got eduardoed

I wish him quick recovery. The injury was so horrific.

I really don't know what went wrong. .this guy was once our best creative outlet at a particular time during Emery's era.

Get well soon #thetank

jihday:
we can’t keep changing goalkeeper, how many teams do you see change keepers at will

There is nothing wrong in changing a goalkeeper if he is not performing as expected. Leno is as good as Ramsdale but he still got benched by the championship goalkeeper. Uzoho was already warming up with and developing with the team before his injury. It was only expected that he regains his spot on his return since Okoye was not convincing. But Rohr knows best.

Kog45:
Maduka Okoye has not impressed me for once in eagles colour but his young age keep on telling me that he would be a good keeper in no distance future.

I know Maduka is not better than Uzoho whom I don't rate too but do we have options in goalkeeping dept.?NO....thank God the two are still young.

We may not have options but why can't the better one out of the two we have man the post.

And I believe our scouts are just bring lazy. If they are doing their job as they should, we might likely find one or two decent goalies either home or abroad.

andrewbaba44:
You no watch the ball be that

Warey Jorginho play ball go sky

Oops. . .mixed them up.
