Can we see more of this in the national team? I don’t think it’s too much to ask for. If we don’t qualify no matter how much we defend iwobi questions will continue to be asked. We can’t blame the coach alone without asking questions on some of our players

U are talking rubbish why single out iwobi when he is one of the best perfomers in the team. When u talk abt people who cost us our chances u talk abt
Aina against Benin cost us a goal
Lookman against lesotho mised 2 sitters and was selfish.
Then uzoho allowing a careless goal( even tho he is no more in the team.

But these are people who cost us precious 6points. Iwobi is no where near it.

AndSunGorilla:
I got my lines crossed totally. Chai!!!! That route even hard and long sef. 4 nation tournament and then the winner goes to play another tournament with teams from other continents. I didn't know it was that hard o.

AndSunGorilla:
Abeg for the best placed 2nd, is it 4 countries or 5? FiFA website says 4 best placed runners up. If it's just 4, no road dey dia for us o.

opes:
The Rwanda player mumu. An experienced opposition player would have gone to the ground when Nwabali hit him unprovoked

mank1234:
It's not decided yet. CAF/FIFA can still say that that Eritrea's group is off the picture and still go ahead with the 6-team permutation. It's a 50:50 decision that they'll have to take.

UncleHaba22:
South Africa are playing their tactics well now
See grass dem wan put SE
They're in control of the game


Any result that's not draw Nigeria is out of the next world cup

Starboytwo:
As for me I will forever be thankful and grateful that Nwabali is our no1.
No shaking.
No jonzing..
Always alert..
Street fighter..
Confidence %110
Abi una don forget Akpeyi.
Uzoho nko? Even though he nor easy make oyinbo sign person?

Ragingthunder:
4-3-4 okay na

Samueltemi337:
Na 12 players you one use play match

Napoleon55:
Osimhen would have speed pass that defender also

Mybettingtips:
Do we approach SA with 433 or 442? I noticed we play better when we switched to a 442 formation yesterday. We were able to peg their defenders back and have more people in the box. There were points we had Tolu, Dessers, Lookman, Simon in the box. Alina was in the box when we scored the goal. We didn’t play well and they were able to neutralize our attacking options yesterday when we had only one striker.

Nice one from Eric for reading the game and changing his tactics yesterday. We need all 3pts against SA

Truidstarr:
The South Africa I watched on Friday is very beatable. Neutralize their No.7 Oswin Appoliss, most of their attacking forays came from that wing (Ola Aina's wing). The first two goals came from that wing. The midfield is lightweight. I pray Osimhen is fit. Starting Osimhen with Arokodare will be big headache for their makeshift defence. Chukwueze would have been perfect for this match against Audrey Modiba. He is fast but commits a lot of fouls.

Car321:
You would have to remove 5 goals from South Africa.

MetalJigsaw:
The guy deserves all the criticism. At least other players are regulars for their clubs and have good games in SE.

When last has Chuks made us proud?

CapitalCee:
Not just Lesotho, Zimbabwe too they both play their home matches in SouthAfrica. Well na we Bleep up, if we won our other 3 home games like other big teams do and at least draw Benin, we we would have been 2 points ahead of SA

CapitalCee:
Every match against the bottom placed teams in the groups apart from the group that has 5 teams will be discounted. In the case of our group, the 2 points we got versus Zimbabwe will be removed, if we finish 2nd. For Gabon in group F, the 6 points the got from Seychelles will be discontinued. This will be done after all the matches are concluded. By then we will see who finished 2nd in all the groups and who finished last. This method has been consistently been adopted by FIFA, UEFA and CAF previously. I think if we win all our matches we will be among the best runner up 100%, but any slip ups will be dicey

QueenJazz:
FIFA is going to deduct those points from South Africa. It will happen. I'm now sure more than ever.

Ppogbae:
Chukwueze is an inconsistent mixed bag. You never know which version of him will show up so you just pray. His performance at the AFCON final still pissess me off.

Spainever:
Can someone tell us why VAR is not use in all African qualifiers and NFF never complain ? Why is South Africa playing Lesotho home match in SA ? If Lesotho pitch is bad I thought neutral ground like Zambia or Congo stadium would have been better ....

mekabuachi:
If osihmen is fit can him and tolu start together against SA

solonnachi:
Please how serious is Osimhen's injury?

lexyman:
the next thing to worry about is the time to rest for the SE , I think the NFF hasn't done well , they would have looked at the game schedule and contest it from the onset . its not looking nice , even if the guys have the metality .. they may lack the strength to beat SA .... because of this untidy journey , and not having enough rest may have a toll on on their overall performance ... wish them well , also dont forget your calculator .

lovewins:
For those who are praying, these should be your request and why.

1. Nigeria wins South Africa for obvious reasons

2. Rwanda wins Zimbabwe. We need them to still be in the running so they can take their game against South Africa seriously. They are unlikely to play hard against South Africa if they are assured of not qualifying.

3. Lesotho wins Benin to stop their momentum.

DrKlever:
Lookman and unnecessary ball dressing. Just shoot once or pass the ball ffs.

mekabuachi:
Midfield should be onyeka... Dm
Onyedika... Holding midfielder, can intercept perfectly and pass good too
A part of me wants chukwueze to play Am... But iwobi sha

JohnBullMySon:
It’s not a speculative thing. FIFA has already published the tiebreakers rule for this 26 qualifiers and there’s nothing like that there.

Dannyxy:
Funny thing, it’s when the super eagles look down and out they spring up performance that makes you believe again, don’t be surprised to see them pounce like wounded Lions.

Rwanda and South Africa or any other team should be afraid of any Nigeria team being castigated by the fans.

mekabuachi:
Omo... I thought FIFA can be sued... Or something like that
To what end sef?

mekabuachi:
See wetin FIFA dey post... Make we forget about point deduction abeg 😂

JohnBullMySon:
Tied points with the group leader does not have any impact on the best loser table. You will be on the table as a normal second placed team.
