after Osimhen gets his hatrick he needs to be rested for our next match.

Sugarboyy:
That same Ejuke would have done better than Chukwueze and Simon today.
Most times when I watch Yamal play, a 17year old winger, I just shake my head for Chukwueze.
I can't remember the last time Chukwueze dribble passed a defender or scored a cutler, something that other left footed average wingers do all over the world 🌎

Sugarboyy:
So painful that either Madueke or Adeyemi or even Nwaneri refused to play for Nigeria. It would have made the SE a balance team because Chukwueze wing right now doesn't contribute anything meaningful in matches

MetalJigsaw:
Una don start. We're in the middle of a race to top position and you feel we've arrived? How some people think really. baffles me

BankyGee:
Victor Osimhen's brace against Rwanda today means he has scored:

- Nigeria's goals against Rwanda in Rwanda since 2005
- 2 goals in his first 2026 World Cup qualifying game
- 2 goals in his first international game for 2025
- 8 goals in his last four games for club and country
- 2 goals to cement his position as the second all-time top scorer for the Nigerian national team (25)

Never…..u shld knw I am better 😎 tactically

TheSuperNerd:
About the tactical aspect, Chelle showed really fine promise in the first game. He is tactically sound but it is the next game that will help me assess him even better. Zimbabwe is an interesting opponent.


Time will tell.

Sugarboyy:
Add Uche, Onyeka and Bashiru to the midfield and we are good to go. Not all countries can't boast of having Pedri and his likes.
I liked Yusuf ball control today even though he was being played out of position and was making wrong decisions when with the ball

BascoVanVeli:
Same as his Sao Tome goal

Mujtahida:
I've watched the goal more than 10x.

vonnelixir:
He assisted the second goal...what again do you want

BankyGee:
Press conference

komekn:
What if does not 🚫

Bannedlargejr:
Komehn what will be considered a good season for osimehn to still be rated highly by big clubs? How many goals does he needs to score? For example, icardi has been tearing that league with goals and big clubs didn’t come his way after he left psg. Even when nwakaeme and onuachu scored, big clubs still didn’t rate them. How many goals can he score that big clubs will reconsider??

mekabuachi:
Omo people no fit get satisfied ooh

If you see the way people are criticizing the whole team... Only osihmen played well
The rest played rubbish... I Tire

Sugarboyy:
If not for Peseiro and Finidi, what would we be looking for in the position we are now? Imagine they played 4 games , drew 3 and lost one, they won none. Ordinarily these teams, Rwanda, Lesotho and Zimbabwe are supposed to be beating home and away and that's what will happen with this new coach and the spirit he has brought to the team. There is no way SA can beat Benin away, I'm very sure. I won't even be surprised if Benin beats them

AndSunGorilla:
We still have Tella, injury did him strong thing.

minfelix:
yes oo on tuesday
Ben v SA

Blueelf:
Please I have a question

How many countries are qualifying from each group or the WC?

12 to equal. 13 to break it. We move.

ChrisKels:
Has SA played in Rwanda yet?

deltafly:
South Africa is our major threat to this qualification. Lesotho and Zimbabwe will play all their home matches in South Africa,even when they play against SA. I think 🤔 this unfair advantage. I hope they will choose Zambia or any neighbouring countries . I hope our NFF will complain
