Fifa has published the sanctions imposed by its disciplinary committee for incidents that occurred during the June WCQs.








No sanctions for South Africa.

I like it. We shouldn't be qualifying through the back door, if we can't qualify without engaging in lobbying etc, then we don't deserve to be there. At least l, "Hope" can now rest!!!

But why did Simon move to Paris FC? A club with 90% probility of going back to Ligue 2 where they came from. I'm really disappointed.

He should have been in a better club.

Abeg ooo, Make Una educate me... The matches that sanctions were imposed for were played in June. Offences ranging from misconduct of players and officials, discrimination, fireworks and lasers and order and security. The match SA fielded an ineligible player was played In March. All the offenses from the Disciplinary FIFA report no touch anything about fielding an ineligible player. Na the way I take understand am.

lbrichman2:
Strong list
Fair and transparent..
Almost everyone is there on merit..

Now let's do the job..
Flog Rwanda and SA
Beat them well!

We need to restore our fear factor !!

Crush them Eagles!!!

Eagles can't be trusted

lbrichman2:
We have Awaziem and Frederick there
Igoh Ogbu is also a part of the team

Our defence is in good shape..

It's just the GK department that seems a bit light weight to me

Awaziem again??

Has that guy regained himself? because I've been away from this thread for long.

Simon is past his prime plus Nantes are a relegation level team,they narrowly escaped last season,plus Paris fc has very wealthy owners it's a club on the rise

I really don't understand that guy.

I know Simon's career is probably on the decline but he's still good for a mid table team in Ligue one or an English Championship team.

So as it stands now we just need to focus on how to get more points to be eligible for the playoffs... FIFA will not deduct any point.

forget this report FIFA will not to taint their image .if FIFA fail they is CAS

what attribute does akor has that puts him ahead of tolu?

Na just talk na
Everybody sha one talk

Benjamin Fredrick?
You are funny

typicalgamer:
How do you classify a top club

Because i know for sure gala pays wage bill like a top club but aren’t a top club make that make sense

Galatasaray is better than the club he supports, better than any club outside the top 6 of the Premier League, top 3 of the Bundesliga, top 2 of Ligue 1, top 3 of La Liga, top 4 of Serie A.

Almost every top club list you see, Galatasaray appears in most of them, even before Osimhen joined.

Charles is not the only doesn't like Osimhen's move to Galatasaray, but he's the only one that's got a funny and sorry to say, childish way of showing it. Make everybody dey where he dey.

Mujtahida:
Iwobi is best around the edge of the box. But in Nigeria we play him in the middle as a defensive pivot where he's ineffective

I swear

Where is that guy that was so sure they will deduct 3 points

Nor be where offer come he go
The Nantes he left have they not be battling relegation for how many seasons now

But if the Nff allow South Africa to play lessotho in South Africa, it shows that they are not even taking our qualification serious.
Because if they protest FIFA would have change the venue.

NFF protest? That's future impossible tense.
Has it ever happened before in history?

Age bros
He knows he's getting old
So he secured a 3 year deal at Paris FC
Nantes were not willing to give him that..

My brother, the doings LOUD

Eagles can't be trusted

Unfortunately this has become true
That's why I made that rallying cry!!

We have to wake up from our slumber and start flogging teams again..
We need to reconnect with our " why"

Who we are and why we are the Giant of Africa

MetalJigsaw:

Has that guy regained himself? because I've been away from this thread for long.

I would have taken Igoh Ogbu over Awaziem
But Awaziem has been consistent for Nantes this season and he's had good ratings..
On his day, he's a fine defender
Good with the ball at his feet and better than Ekong at those long balls Ekong likes to play..
