Omo, I give myself 24 hours break for any online activity first. I don invest hope, energy, calculations, contents and emotion inside this Super Eagles qualification stuff.

1. We can't blame Éric Chelle for any wrongdoing. Yes, he played one or two players out of position but will be the one to tell them to score open net chances?

2. Lookman should pass more! I watched Argentina's game, four different players scored! It's not bad if you assist! Lookman is my player, he's the African Best Player, he should play like that. He had an okay game, but poor decision making from him cost us "goals", not just a goal. Where he was supposed to shoot once, he touched the ball too many times, where he was expected to run a one-two or just do a simple pass, he was touching the ball too much.

3. We had like 6 big chances in the match, all WASTED! Chukwueze, Osayi-Samuel, Lookman, Moses Simon, Iwobi, Ndidi... BIG CHANCES! BIG CHANCES! The one Osimhen scored was just pure fighter's instinct, not every striker will score that, no cap. He could've easy rammed his head into that crossbar. We move.

4. If we took our chances, Zimbabwe scoring one goal will not be news here, even if it was just 2–1. Our attack let us down, not Éric Chelle.

5. Chukwueze should not be invited again or he should be given a seatbelt on the bench and someone else take his place in the team.

6. The Super Eagles is my only club, but at this point, I give up on any useless World Cup dream. I'm damn disappointed. We played well, but wasting chances cost us this game, not Troost-Ekong, not Éric Chelle, not the midfielders, THE ATTACKERS! THE ATTACKERS!

7. Osayi and Ndidi that even missed chances can be forgiven because they are not strikers... All these forwards that in the next few days we'll be reporting their goals and assists here, what happened to them against freaking Zimbabwe?

8. Make Éric Chelle warn Nwabali make he stop that stupid laughter wey he dey laugh when we dey lead just 1–0, I was damn scared here remembering how he laughed in the AFCON final and we lost, baba still dey do the same thing for must-win match. He's the best goalkeeper we have now and his workings are showing, but that attitude dey childish, why he no laugh again as he concede?

9. Make we just focus on AFCON abeg. This one is gone. It's f**king gone! Headache, fever and everything just hit me immediately Zimbabwe score yesterday. I'm emotionally drained from this match. I just dey offline since yesterday.

If they get a 3 point deduction and we still end up not doing our part it will be worse, the players and the coaches should take their mind off this at the moment and leave it to our administrators and FIFA to deal with it. The 4 remaining games is what the team should prioritize and focus on
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by 7demons: 4:46am On Mar 27, 2025
With the next major duels coming up the next 6months, let's hope Eric Chelle will take his time out to MONITOR, SCOUT & re-strategize his plans on players he will use to execute his tactics come September.
6months is alot of time to get your plans right. No excuse!
I also hope they will have 1or2 FIFA breaks for friendlies.
Bare injuries, let's hope Osimhen will be on his best form. That's our only match maker.
Winning our 4 remaning matches means we will be on the same point with SA(bar goal difference). We need to win the remaining matches and score lots of goals.

Some Few Goalkeepers Of Nigerian Descents 🇳🇬

So just to get us up to speed and also to sound a big warning to our Super Eagles, U23 and U20 Goalkeepers to buckle up, Boys are super catching up and are ready to take up the challenge when the opportunity is presented to them.

Boys are already men, So if you as a goalkeeper not getting game time, We want to remind you that national team is for all and not for certain few, everyone will get equal opportunity on merit for healthy competition 👊🏿

So please hold your ground well Boys are super hungry to take over anytime soon.

Arthur Okonkwo. 21, Arsenal on loan at Crewe Alexander

Prince Adegoke 18, Chelsea FC

Noah Atubolu 20, Freiburg Im Breisgau, Germany

Joshua Oluwayemi 21, Portsmouth FC .

Powell Obinna Obi 24, Yokohoma Marinos

Nathan Harvey 20, Charlton Athletic.

Note ❌ This is just to name few, We still have others in naija local league but by the time we introduce a youth side to NPFL more talents will be harnessed through such channel aside from school and other community leagues.

Dont Sleep Super Eagles Goalkeepers, Boys are coming through faster than we thought 🤔

NFF please take note 🇳🇬👊🏿🦅

Posted by Doherty in 2022

Noah Atubolu and Arthur Okonkwo have progressed really well.
I can't say of the other goal keepers
.

Baba if you are not on d board of NFF those ones are otilo if dey don't have godfather.

BREAKING: LESOTHO FA DROPS PURSUIT OF MOKOENA CASE ‼️

A high-ranking source reveals that the Lesotho Football Association has decided not to pursue the case against Teboho Mokoena's two yellow cards, which led to his ineligibility for their recent match.

“ Lesotho FA will not pursue, I’m told the whole ordeal will take too much money. Especially because they have missed the 24-hour window period to file a protest So they will not protest,” said the source.


This better be a joke
That was badderdash. Lesotho may drop but Nigeria can still file for petition.

I don't think there has ever been a match we didn't create enough chances to win comfortably throughout this campaign. Even under finidi I'm sure we created enough chances to win those matches. It's more annoying that osimhen is our highest goal scorer despite the fact that he has only played 2 out of 6 games. Our problem is not the defense, formation, chance creation or midfield combination. It's how to freaking put the ball inside the net. Sometimes I can't believe how we much chances we miss in these matches.

This is why I said our national team still needs ighalo. He is the one who has the ability to convert chances. He is nit nervous like the other players and his experience counts a lot. This is not about living in the past or not giving young players a chance. Ihmghalo has the nerve to convert these chances our forwards keep missing. He can come in as a sub and score. His finishing is still needed. I have said my own

Some questions;

Is Nigeria so poor dat a 100k per month dollar coach is out of reach of NFF?

Is Nigeria so poor dat our conference centre must look like all dis mushroom schools and Rwanda a country- some few decade ago ravaged by ethnic cleansing- can afford a world class conference center?

Is Nigeria too poor to woo all dose foreign born to play for us or what is d work of d technical department?

How many officials follow dem to Rwanda and what is their prerogative in and their importance to d team in Rwanda

I won't blame d players but NFF whose lackadaisical and dilly-dallying attitude has put us to where we are.

Is Nigeria so poor dat we can only get one fifa approve stadium?

An adage says when d head is rotten d whole body is spoil, so I put it to NFF in d next one year what is their contingency plan?

Are d players motivated enough or dey been owe their match bonuses?

What is d work of d presidential task force?

I CRY FOR MY COUNTRY because dey have destroy d only unifying factor😭.

Ègbé ni fún NFF.

I won't completely give up yet even though that world cup hope is fast diminishing to a wishful dream. There's still a good chance FIFA will nick off 3 points from South Africa which will bring them down to 10 pts with them just 3 points ahead of us, but we will now have to win all our 4 games and go for it ruthlessly, the players must be ready to die on that pitch and make up for all the unacceptable disappointments they've subjected us to.

It's 6 months to the last round of games, and I'm aware Nigeria was invited to a 4 nation tournament hosted by England in this June friendly window, we are even facing Ghana. That tournament should definitely serve as the perfect foundation for Chelle to now invite HIS OWN SCOUTED players, and NFF shouldn't dare interfere in his team selections going forward, otherwise ogun go kpai all their family members. Enough is enough, let the coach and his backroom staff now use the European season to thoroughly scout for eligible Nigerian players doing well...the fringe players who are knocking on the door of first team football like Christiantus Uche, Ejuke, Gift Orban, Nathan Tella, Akor Adams, Akinsanmiro, Ojediran, Felix Agu, Anthony Dennis, Jordan Torunarigha, Igoh Ogbu, Daniel Daga, Chuba Akpom, Cyriel Dessers must now all be invited for that 4 nation tournament. We also need to see more of Tolu Arokodare cause I like what he offered in that Zimbabwe game- then a few mainstay regulars like Osimhen, (if he will be available and hopefully not injured), Onyeka, Onyedika, Bruno Onyemaechi, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Calvin Bassey, Maduka Okoye to test new ideas with experience...Enough of Chukwueze, Ndidi, Simon Moses, Ekong and Iwobi etc; we've seen it all with these players and half of them need to be phased out at this point.

Lastly, Osimhen has to be made Captain of the team, Ekong has tried but he's just not that guy anymore, father time has come for him. We need to go into those September games with all our BEST PLAYERS, not the Ndidi, Aribo, Chukwueze and Ekong story anymore, those ones can respectfully stay on the bench and provide experience from there. Let the young bloods led by Osimhen go to war against Rwanda and South Africa, that will be a game of guts, youth and glory and not old and tired legs.

Nerdie's reflections

If the 3 pts are deducted as expected from SA for the mokoena fumble then believe or not we are still in with a chance despite our silly fumble yesterday.

Yesterday's result is enough to not grant us access to USCAMEX 2026 but perhaps the football gods through CAR321's findings foresaw chaos in Uyo and made provisions.
The Beautiful Game became ugly yesterday for us and everyone here has a right to say "WE WONT BE AT THE 2026 WC."

Trust me, even if we qualify, I won't blame any of you for doubting right now only to be proven wrong later.

The attitude... the general attitude of most of the lads in game situations speak volumes to why most of us don't see this team making it in the end. But time will tell.




Victor Osimhen..... Top lad. The best Number 9 we have had since Yekini. He will not say all that is on his mind but deep down, I know he is absolutely pissed at everyone who was on the pitch when we conceded that cheap goal. From Ekong to Ndidi to Osayi to Boniface, everyone! He blames them and he is bloody right to do so because COME ON!! HE DID HIS PART. HE SHOWED UP. HE ALMOST ALWAYS SHOWS UP IN THE GWG. Reason why he is on 26 goals now in 40 caps.

This guy will kill himself, pick up injuries while on duty and still come back banging. Habamana!

I hope the others get the message and rally round for one last chance to salvage this WC ticket dream.

We are down but perhaps not just out yet.


Remember Pre-Afcon 2023... how I and most of you doubted the peseiro led team just before Afcon 2023 held early last year. ONLY TRUIDSTARR and a few others believed pre-tournament that we could go all the way.

I didn't believe but I showed up to support in the first game. It was after the first game, and the second vs CIV that I joined fully the belief wagon because I saw something. We went all the way but lost the final.

Nigeria... an enigmatic football nation. Stars everywhere but make minnows look like giants. Then when you absolutely rule them out, they come stunning you, slapping you back to reality and reminding you of why THEY WILL ALWAYS BE THE SUPER EAGLES.


BASED ON YESTERDAY, we don't deserve to be at the 2026 WC but if SA loses 3 pts... then whether we feel it or not, the truth is we have been offered another chance at redemption.

How this story ends is up to the rest of the team. Osimhen's mental profile is clear for everyone to see. He will always show up.
It is the rest we should be worried about. It is the rest that truly determine if the story ends well or not.

As always... TIME WILL TELL IT ALL.

Make everybody drink water and chill... it's not eureka just yet.
Great write up. Like you said time will tell. The forever optimist in me still believes. Hope Eric Chelle had learned from his errors. Wishing us all the best.

Former Nigeria Coach Bonfrère Jo After Super Eagles draw against Zimbabwe: “How do you expect to qualify for the World Cup if you don’t win games?” he questioned.

He continued, “In the past, if we didn’t beat Zimbabwe 3-0 or 4-0, the fans would throw stones at us.

“With the huge number of Super Eagles players in top European leagues, a 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe is unacceptable. I don’t see how they can qualify for the World Cup, except maybe through the play-offs.

“If that happens, good. But it’s embarrassing that the Super Eagles are struggling against teams they should be beating convincingly.”

When asked what could be have gone wrong in game:

He said, “I didn’t watch the match, but did the coach not have enough information on Zimbabwe? Did he use the wrong tactics? Or did the players fail to execute the game plan?

“Was it a loss of concentration? Why couldn’t the attackers score more goals? If they had put away two or three chances, Zimbabwe’s late goal wouldn’t have mattered as much.

“It’s sad, painful, and unfortunate. Small teams are now looking the Super Eagles in the eye and asking, ‘What can you do?’ No team fears them anymore, and that is worrying,” Bonfrère Jo lamented.

We have the players that can beat any African team.
In Africa we should be dominating.

We have the players.
Ekong has a commanding personality, but he is error prone, players have their strengths and weaknesses, if we are to continue his services, then tactics and personnel both in defence and midfield should be tweaked.

Our coach did let us down.
He made mistakes that were costly

Yes, those one on one and open net chances.

It is the duty of the coach to select his players, and to drill them according to his tactics.

2. Lookman should pass more! I watched Argentina's game, four different players scored! It's not bad if you assist! Lookman is my player, he's the African Best Player, he should play like that. He had an okay game, but poor decision making from him cost us "goals", not just a goal. Where he was supposed to shoot once, he touched the ball too many times, where he was expected to run a one-two or just do a simple pass, he was touching the ball too much.

3. We had like 6 big chances in the match, all WASTED! Chukwueze, Osayi-Samuel, Lookman, Moses Simon, Iwobi, Ndidi... BIG CHANCES! BIG CHANCES! The one Osimhen scored was just pure fighter's instinct, not every striker will score that, no cap. He could've easy rammed his head into that crossbar. We move.

4. If we took our chances, Zimbabwe scoring one goal will not be news here, even if it was just 2–1. Our attack let us down, not Éric Chelle.

5. Chukwueze should not be invited again or he should be given a seatbelt on the bench and someone else take his place in the team.

6. The Super Eagles is my only club, but at this point, I give up on any useless World Cup dream. I'm damn disappointed. We played well, but wasting chances cost us this game, not Troost-Ekong, not Éric Chelle, not the midfielders, THE ATTACKERS! THE ATTACKERS!

7. Osayi and Ndidi that even missed chances can be forgiven because they are not strikers... All these forwards that in the next few days we'll be reporting their goals and assists here, what happened to them against freaking Zimbabwe?

8. Make Éric Chelle warn Nwabali make he stop that stupid laughter wey he dey laugh when we dey lead just 1–0, I was damn scared here remembering how he laughed in the AFCON final and we lost, baba still dey do the same thing for must-win match. He's the best goalkeeper we have now and his workings are showing, but that attitude dey childish, why he no laugh again as he concede?

9. Make we just focus on AFCON abeg. This one is gone. It's f**king gone! Headache, fever and everything just hit me immediately Zimbabwe score yesterday. I'm emotionally drained from this match. I just dey offline since yesterday.
Guy you finish work, Lookman should be talked to or dropped if he can’t work with his fellow strikers, he even shined in Afcon through an assist from osihmen. At least let’s get one or two goals before you begin to go solo, it’s looking as if because osihmen got two goals in Rwanda he wanted to get on the score sheet by all means in uyo. One shot he had in the first half should have been a cross to osihmen. I like Lookman but he needs some talking to by the coaches. I feel it’s the reason Boniface is also struggling in that set up. When I said some time ago that Boniface and Lookman should lock up themselves in a room and talk I was mocked here.

Thank you for the article especially for those who keep blaming the coach and nff for clear and begging chances that were missed in the game. The Zimbabweans were on the platter for real slaughter but our players messed everyone up. Nonsense!

It is the duty of the coach to select his players, and to drill them according to his tactics.
Chelle failed to beat Zimbabwe.
What tactics is left at the 90th minute for players to lock shop and throw the key away. I don’t understand us again as a people.

Please can you shed more light? Never heard of such tournament before.
Nigeria has participated in a 2 - 4 nations tourney before just like the Mandela challenge cup.
This tournament consist of Nigeria, Jamaica, Ghana and England. The winners may be going home with a trophy I think.

It's in June, let's keep our fingers crossed.

It's a perfect tournament for Eric Chelle to get fresh legs for the team.

I know we are frustrated with that result, but some of my permutations now that things have settled.

1. The talk of Uyo being cursed doesn’t really hold weight to me. We had enough chances to finish this match off in the first 45 mins. If we really think Lagos should be our main stadium, then it behooves the NFF to rehabilitate it and bring it up to FIFA standards.

2. We really need to scout for a ball playing midfielder that can take the pressure out of games in the end. Kill the tempo and secure points.

3. I don’t think FIFA will deduct the 3pts from SA for fielding an ineligible player. I think Motsepe will do some behind door politicking. Regardless, our players need to focus on winning out and giving themselves a chance, no matter how slim that chance is.

4. We should push on with Chelle through AFCON and beyond. This constant chopping and changing of managers does no one any good. WCQ will have finished by the time AFCON comes around. Barring an early exit, he should be given time to develop a system and pattern of play for AFCON 25 and 27.
To date Kelechi Nwakali still remains our most creative midfielder.
Whosoever he has offended in the NFF, should please forgive him.
If he has offended anyone, let him make peace.

We don't have any midfielder with his kind of crosses, long balls and creativity.

FIFA will deduct 3points from SA.
This may likely happen in 2-3months time.
It's left for una riffraff players & officials to buckle up. This is the last opportunity they are getting.
Nobody saw this coming but blessings all come in disguise.
