Let's be objective here... this lineup gets relegated from the premier league.

If your best defender is a washed Spurs player they were fighting over themselves to get rid off, your best midfield pair consists of a retiree and a flop in Arsenal's banter era, and your second most notable attacker is Leroy Sane in big 2025, I'm sorry bro. That doesn't cut it for the UCL, the most competitive club football tournament in the world.

They might smuggle one or two home wins from their stadium atmosphere, but there are levels to football.

You yourself aren’t being objective.

I’m not on the Gala hype train, they likely won’t cut it with UCL, but saying Gala would be relegated from the EPL is absurd na.

Some of them will walk into many EPL mid table squads only if they could afford their wages.

You do realize that Chelle has gotten more points for us than Finidi and Peseiro so far in these FIFA WC qualifiers, right? You do realize that so far we haven't lost a FIFA qualifying game under Chelle, right?

If we don't qualify, should Chelle take the blame? Of course. But I'll only blame him partly because 1) no be him go hold the players legs to play the ball and 2) the gospel truth is that it's Finidi and Peseiro that put him in the position he's in right now.

It's going to take something special to pull us out of the mess we're in now, and I'm not saying 100% that it will happen, but in the unlikely event that it does, I hope negative posters like you will be here to swallow your words and give him his accolades.

And even if he fails, then tough luck. But I will still insist that he stays to improve with the squad. Remember we still have the AFCON.

Osimhen was the difference maker, not Eric Chelle.

MetalJigsaw:
That's true bro. I don't think we've missed two consecutive WCs before.

No we haven't, and I hope he don't

Make I check who post am first

I loved the Boniface press conference. He knocked every single question out the park. That water drink after the fitness question will go down in history

BankyGee:
Baris is a good player but he wants to leave. I guess they went for Sané because of that, plus he's an experienced player.

In addition, they got Sane free, no transfer fees paid.

Done, na Uche copy 😂


Even without checking you suppose know, no offense, no shades thrown, but Nigerians no like stress normally 😂 ChatGPT will never give two different people exactly the same response, because even their prompts will be different, and even with the same prompts, it's still impossible to get the same response.

I think I’ve said what happened here. FIFA officials misreported Mokoena as eligible.

That’s why SA played him. SA played him under the assumption that he was eligible because FIFA didn’t mark him ineligible as they usually did.

I Dey talk am before say na 50:50 but una choose to believe the one una like. Person say na after final round. Like does that even make any sense?

Hold your peace on this matter. FIFA rules are clear...whether na Southies FA or FIFA...the rules are clear.

That’s not how FIFA rules are applied. For example FIFA rules are very clear on what constitutes a goal. But when the referee makes an error, does the goal get cancelled afterwards ? Even when it is technically not a goal. Today we have VAR to assist the referee but if he doesn’t change his mind, nothing will happen.

Usually, when an error has been determined to be from officiating, the result will stand regardless of what any rule states.

How did you arrive at the bolded conclusion?
RSA told you?
Or from the quoted news journal or FIFA?

They should have signed Osimhen as backup to Kane?

Your comparison is on wrong premise.
The referee interprets and applies the rules you referred to on the field and his decision is final. Disciplinary issues (yellow and red card) are sometimes reviewed.

Disciplinary issues off the field as in this case is handled by FIFA and they apply the rules. If they decide to avoid it as in this case it's a totally different situation.

They may be attempt to sweep it under the carpet, hence the 'no-mention' of it in any of their report. However, takenote that RSA responded to FIFA on this issue and the outcome from FIFA is supposed to be public knowledge - for or against (at least communicated to RSA.

Reported by SA media, after the sport officials were questioned by parliament.

FIFA hasn’t said anything about it yet. So I can’t take their word for it. That’s why I said 50:50. But FIFA silence is abnormal which makes what they said likely to be true maybe.
