If I'm correct, RSA delayed the boys at the airport and now they're forced to train under car shade because they're not given access to the training pitch.

And NFF or whatever isn't doing anything about it.

Sugarboyy:
How the NFF or Sport Ministry hasn't sponsored a protest at the FIFA headquarters in Switzerland by Nigerians in Switzerland and environs is baffling. That I believe will make FIFA to speak up about this SA 3 points deduction issue.
A ₦10m or less budget will actualise it and nobody will know it's the NFF or Sport Ministry that sponsored the protest

Sponsor protest ke?

Let's assume your suggestion is considered but we still don't qualify, what do you think will happen

Emmy450:
this an AI generated response. But it's nice

52% not bad

mank1234:
The deduction is not to determine who top group but to place all groups on equal footing in order to select the best 4 runners up.

Well, I'm just saying though. Cos if there's going to be a deduction, then there is probably going to be some sort of reshuffle. It's alright sha

ChrisKels:
Osimhen is injured and out? So why him travel with the tea to SA? 🙄

Emotional support maybe... Could be mind game too.

CapitalCee:
No. After the qualifying matches. The top 9 teams in the group will qualify straight to the world cup. So if for example SA is still topping the group after the last matches, they will qualify to the World cup, as well as all the other group leaders. Every other team apart from the 2nd placed teams will be eliminated.

Then All the second placed teams will be collected and ranked. But because Eritrea withdrew making Grp E to have just 5 teams. The results of the 2nd placed teams versus all the bottom placed teams will be discounted, just for the purposes of getting the best runner-ups to make it equal standing with group E.
So in Grp E, Morocco has qualified already, the Second placed team for now is Tanzania with 10pts. After the qualifiers their points gathered will be untampered because they only will have played 10 games. While for the other 8 runner ups, their results against the bottom teams in their groups will be subtracted for parity with Tanzania.
For the case of our group, if we finished 2nd and Zimbabwe remained last as they are now. If we win the rest of our matches we will have 19pts. The 2 pts we got against them will be removed, so in that ranking we will be showing as 17pts, while Tanzania will have 16pts assuming they win their remaining 2 games vs Zambia and Niger.
For B/Faso for example 2nd in Grp A with 14 pts currently behind Egypt on 19pts, If Egypt beat them on Tuesday,Egypt will qualify. So if B/Faso win their remaining matches vs S/Leone and Ethiopia. They will have 20pts. But in the 2nd placed teams ranking they will only have 14 points, because the 6 points they got from Djibouti the group’s last team will be discounted. This will be done for all runner ups except Tanzania in Group E who played less games.

I know its long, but thats how its done over the years, except if FIFa decides to change format this time which i doubt

I think if they're going to remove these points due to Eritrea's absence, then it makes sense to do it before declaring automatically qualified teams.

Why I said that is because in a case where we become tied on points with RSA at the end, the table topper can't be determined until point deduction. RSA losing 6 points and Nigeria losing 2 points will make us the automatically qualified team. I hope you get my point

Okan Buruk:
"We reached out to Osimhen. We learned that he has pain in his foot. Of course, we can't say it's nothing. If possible, we want to bring him here and have him checked."

Bad heart

🤣🤣🤣

At least time and energy he dey use dress hair, he go use am play ball now

Gyökeres to give evidence as his agent is suing newspapers for articles claiming he is linked to organised crime .
Gyokeres, will testify that he is a childhood friend of the individual and that this person has no connection to Cetinkaya or HCM Sports Management. #afc

lbrichman2:
Now this is more like it..
Win that SA game and throw the group open..
It will be more interesting if Benin lose or draw..

Let's send some Edikaikong and banga soup to Rohr with a brown envelope.

lbrichman2:
Was shoving a Rwanda player that was clearly out to frustrate him

That ball he caught cleanly but proceeded to sweep the Rwandan guy off the ground. I shouted cos another ref would have punished him for that.

lbrichman2:
We need serious competition for Nwabali
The guy's antics can be tiring
One of our goalies needs to step up

Ebenezer is coming. That Onana pro max sha, I don't really know if I should trust him or not.

Odunayaw:
I no know when I shout "leave the ball nowww"

As he had those injury scare I just de jubilate. Between this match and the draw we had in the afconQ I no know which one make wish am injury pass

😂😂

He is good... Very good.

Our in-house records keepers and analysts, how many yellow cards does Nwabali have now? He's the only one who got booked today.

As we dey pray for wetin we go eat, may we not meet wetin go eat us o.

Joebie:
This Rwanda goalie, i hope he show up for South Africa match in October

May God preserve his health in Jesus name and inshalla... May he be hale and healthy

charlesemeka85:
na heading abi tap in goal?

Underground overhead kick goal

Nwabali has that Rwandan guy for mind.. Somebody call him to order

QueenJazz:
Na only Nigeria fit score goal like this wey no clear. See as everybody scatter for ground before ball enter. 🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Guys, we have another issue... Those Turkey football fans are lurking. Na Rwanda people I pity pass. They injured an heavy Turkish investment

Mujtahida:
Bro which kind wicked proverb be this?

The law, I say make I channel my inner Pete Edochie ni 🤣🤣

Tuchel, nothing must happen to our investments o

Nigerians : Super Eagles can't qualify.

NFF : Dear INEC, kindly find attached and do your trick. Regards

mekabuachi:
Who be this one?

Apology for that. It's really good and admirable to see a lady involved in football discourse. 👍👍

Rockyrascal:
bros, I came across this stats on twitter and I just shook my head like how did we put ourselves in this situation. We have quite a decent team to face any opponent in CAF. I have faint hope of us qualifying, and It's so hard to take to be honest.

Inasmuch as we want to blame NFF and the coach, the players share the largest part of the blame. Their lackadaisical attitude in previous MDs showed nonchalancy or let's say they don't really care.

Well, 2030 is here soon

Imuran starts against Arsenal or is she not the one?

People who still have World Cup hope on this thread are gems. I admire your resilience.

I'm not pessimistic o but I like being realistic. I hope for your sakes, a miracle happens.

BankyGee:
Where you see her/him to just confidently conclude say na guy?

Na lady? Make she no vex o.
I was looking at the name sha

solonnachi:
Only God will help Nigeria....

Other countries here too want God to help them.

mekabuachi:
Anywhere you see that name for shosho media na me be dat 🌝😂

But you be guy na... Why your moniker con carry 'f'

Spurs no small o

owbabs:
The goal Nigeria conceded in the 90th min vs. Zimbabwe could be the reason Nigeria qualifies for the World Cup.

Only someone with a deep mind will understand this

bros, you dey use style call us shallow-minded?
Oya explain o

Well, there's one thing you all are not checking aside the permutations and combinations.

Somebody should check if the players who were on field for RSA today are eligible.

Let's hustle another 3 points abeg
