BREAKING 🚨

FIFA has announced that there will be a 3-minute break in each half of all 2026 World Cup matches!

The referee will stop the game 22 minutes into each half for players to take drinks, regardless of the temperature, the host country — the United States, Canada or Mexico — or whether the stadium has a roof and air conditioning.

** That 2nd paragraph is a tell-tale sign that FIFA and FOX (the U.S. broadcaster) want that 3-minute break to enable FOX to broadcast commercials 😂

isan:
Ah , if Nigeria lose again to Cameroon riot fit happen o ...make una leave Nigerians alone o

True 🤣😂

Meanwhile, the World Cup final will kickoff at 3pm ET (8pm Naija time)

😮‍💨😮‍💨

.

2026 WC fixtures and kick-off times have just been confirmed!
* All times are in U.S. Eastern Time (5 hours behind BST and Naija time during the tournament)

Samueltemi337:
In which window?

The March window, because there actually space for both teams to play two matches during that period.
So, theoretically, the winner of Nig/Cam would face off against the winner of Jamaica/New Caledonia

opes:
His name appeared on FIFA website as cleared. Even if he later ruled ineligible, is Nigeria a direct beneficiary? Cameroon will also pushed for consideration

Yes. At best, FIFA would organize a playoff between Nigeria and Cameroon

Nehruvia:
Don't quote me, but word on the street is that there might yet be another backdoor for Nigeria. I can't disclose my sources but CAF and FIFA are squabbling behind the scenes over inconsistent eligibility rules and stipulations. And guess who's on our side? 👀

I'm not even saying this as someone being hopeful because I'm honestly not sure if I want what I'm hearing to be true because it will make us the most hated and suspect country in this World Cup cycle.

Are you referring to the “doubts” about Aaron Wan Bissaka’s eligibility to play for DR Congo?

Ibime:
Nigeria is defeating Mexico and South Korea in the World Cup if we had met.

I know my SE characteristics. They struggle against Africans due to underrating them, but have no problem with midranked Oyinbo teams.

Whereas most of these other African countries (except Senegal, Algeria, Morocco and Cameroun) will be bullying in Africa then go to World Cup and turn into shrinking violets scared of their own shadow.

Looking forward to seeing Cape Verde at World Cup. They have fearless attitude like Nigerians, even if their players are in lower leagues, them no dey fear anybody.

I’m not so sure that these present crop of SE (except for maybe Osimhen, Bassey, and Fredericks) have the mental fortitude to withstand the overall intimidating environment and constant boos they would face from over 83,000 fans at the Azteca. The best result they would get would be a draw

AirBere:
Only top 2 qualify from each group right? No such thing like third best teams abi.

It’s the top 2, and the eight best 3rd-placed teams across the groups that qualify for the new knockout round of 32.

Kilishihunter:
We are not serious, only Mexico could have given us problems cause of home advantage, Korea could have been matched


Colombia will disturb them with pace and intensity but I think the best result they can get is a draw cause of Portugal's quality, Uzbekistan too is one enigma cause they can defend really solidly, This current Portuguese team can even go all the way but their coach Martinez seems to be a bottler

Exactly. I would have celebrated a draw with Mexico

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
No be true
Na group of death

By easy, I meant that knockout qualification was open - each team realistically has an equal chance to advance to the round of 32

Kilishihunter:
So if we had beaten Congo we would have entered this Portugal Colombia Uzbekistan group 😂😂

Lol. The best we would have hoped for would be to be amongst the best 3rd-placed teams across the groups 😂

Easy 9 points for Argentina 😁

Group A is the “easiest” group so far

Kilishihunter:
South Africa can even qualify out of this group, super eagles just fúcked up

For real! Chai

Group C is turning out to be a 1998 WC reunion😁

Opening game: Mexico v South Africa, which is a repeat of the opening game of the 2010 World Cup!

France v Senegal 😁😮‍💨

David Hundeyin is always savage 😂😂

Skimpledawg:
Nations Cup?

Yes. All the matches, except the Egypt game, are AFCON games

Big month ahead for our Super Eagles!

Bluelines69:
Badaru resigns, was he sacked codedly?

My thinking too

Word on the street is that Gen Christopher Musa (rtd) will be the new Minister Of Defense

Despite playing 52 minutes with ten players, Chelsea had 11 shots, no opponent has done that against Arsenal in EPL this season. During the first half Arsenal had only 2 touches in the Chelsea box, their fewest in the first half of a EPL game since Dec 2021.

Now that the border is closed like never before in history, -thanks to wonderful amazing Trump, we can pardon their drug boss. Even though we are ostensibly tough on crime.

-Me when I’m a delusional 🤡

🤣😂🤣🤣

🚨 FIFA will test-run a new rule at the upcoming Arab Cup.

Players who require medical attention would be required to stay off the pitch for a minimum of 2 minutes, before being allowed back into the field of play. The key exception would be goalkeepers.

It’s all in a bid to cut down on diving by players..
