Osimhen is the world's leading prima donna. The Super Eagles are done for with him as the face of the team. It's time to bin him and face Tolu Arokodare!

Even if he play nkọ, that will not stop South Africa from wiping the clueless super chickens who had to struggle to beat Rwanda
You deserve NOTHING from the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

Go and follow your own country’s national team, wherever it is.

You are not a Nigerian.

Surprised to see a Nigerian say this. Nigeria played a good game yesterday.
Good game my foot. That's how they've been playing good games and today we're struggling with qualifying for the world cup tournament. What exactly does good game mean to you? The super eagles practically struggles with every game. Let them rest and let the best from Africa go. We'll still enjoy the world cup without them.

We certainly don't have the best team. Politics and corruption spearheaded by NFF has destroyed our team. If a very good player in any particular wing wants to come in, they won't allow him. Whether they qualify or not doesn't bother me. I can't remember when I watched them play last. We only had a team from 1994 to 1998. At a time, we ranked top 5 in the world. Players in every position were the very best
My brother that's Nigeria for u even if you can score 10 goals in 45minutes and u no get leg 🦵 u won't fit in the first 11 🤔

That's how it is in other sectors too in the country called Nigeria 🤔 if

Corruption don rotten d system 😭😭

He chickened out. In fact, Osimhen out! Now. He's a bad influence on that team and has been for a while now! Arokodare all the way IN!


Saint99:
Although he could not continue in the match against Rwanda, I do not think it is a serious injury. He would be fine after a couple of days.

Don't know what he put Dessers in for. A striker that cannot beat his man one on one from time to time is not a Super Eagles striker.


Funnily I feel Arokodare has a certain style of play that will help the Super Eagles more than Osimhen at the moment even though Osimhen is the better player.
Lol


Because he bundled the ball inside the net against Rwanda


Arakodere or whatever is not good enough

It makes no difference we will unleash Tolu Arokodare on them.

We are beating SA on Tuesday
Yes what we need is a belief. We can beat them . Chelsea was ranked an outsider to win the Club World but they went on to beat highly rated PSG by whopping 3-0. We can do it on the day .

Wait! Is Galatasaray Manager in the best position to inform Nigerians the extent of Osimhen's injury? Is he the one to tell us if Osimhen will play the next game or not?

In my opinion, I think we should just forget about the world cup and allow serious minded team like South Africa go the mundial. Though it's painful but it's for the greater good. Let's start from the scratch and come back. The best we can take out of Our next away game is a draw. Even the odds is against us just to let you know how lowly rated team we have presently. I will rather put my money on south Africa to beat us on Tuesday.

Sorry, your appreciation of the tactical aspects of football is terribly surface-level.

Arokodare created that goal by receiving the ball with his back to goal but dominating the CB and gaining yards into the box. He then laid it off to Onyemaechi with a clever flick. Then made a clever run to get on the end of the return ball from Onyemaechi. With or without the goal, this is elite CF play. And I haven't noticed it just from this game. Go and check the role he played in Osimhen's goal in the last game.

Exactly what I said to myself. With the way we play, there is nothing reasonable we have to offer on the world stage. At least the South Africans might entertain even if they will still go home in the first round.

The World Cup is a tournament that attracts the best footballing nations in the world

Africa needs quality teams representing her in the tournament so that Africa can sue for more slots.

The current Super Eagles doesn't deserve to go to the World Cup. They should stay back and do their homework.
Agreed.
What I noticed about the Nigerian team, they don't put in zeal to be at the top because 1=African football is shitty.
2= if they play trash nobody is going to question them, so why will they put their best.
But when it comes to premier League/other white man league, you see a Nigerian putting 10m zeal in what he does, you see him play like a pro of old, you see him bang goals and assist or defend the ball with his life and his own balls. But when e reach African league, them go begin play shitty game. Currently I will choose turkiye u17 over that shitty Nigerian team.

Of coz they will be bundled out in the first round. But the fact remain that super eagles are not super in recent times. The only team that gives me joy so far is Super falcons and D' tigress.

They played a fantastic game.

Iwobi really tried.

I owe him 2 bottles of cold heneiken once they beat south Africa
Iwobi tried but not impressive he was just playing like snail , a creative midfielder for that matter. Iwobi needs to go and watch some of the video clips of J.j okocha the way he used to move with ball.

[quote author=success1smyn post=136719840]He should have sat out the match against Rwanda. Now he will miss the more crucial clash against South Africa. Not good for Nigeria [/qu


He played nothing before the injured

I was actually impressed by the standard of game yesterday by both countries. I haven't watch Super Eagles in a long time cus African football is generally boring but yesterday's match was interesting. Rwandan is a good team and SE did well to defend their only goal.
Re: Nigeria Vs South Africa: Osimhen Will Not Play, He’s In Pain – Galatasaray Manag by chaloskyx: 5:45pm On Sep 07, 2025
LOL let me be the first to tell you: Osimhen is not injured. This is a clear sign of disrespect toward your country, and Osimhen himself is disrespecting Nigeria by going along with it. My advice? Play with those who are truly committed, beat South Africa, and fight to qualify. And if you do make it to the World Cup leave Victor out."

We struggled to bundle in a goal with him on the pitch...for at least 60% of the 90 minutes.....and you think he should have sat Rwanda match out? Didn’t you see how they labored until Tolu came off the bench to score? grin
He was not fit for the match. He should not have played the game so he could recover and be better for the South Africa match.

Write it down. South African will beat Nigeria. It's already an easy win for Bafana-Bafana.
I will come back to you after the match. I know you are not from Nigeria. Mind you it is not a do or die affairs. Just a game. We are not fighting anyone.

Lol.... Let's not be sentimental, I'm a Nigerian. I want super eagle to win.

I have analyzed both team, and I will only tell you the truth. South Africa is in better position to win the match. Even if Bafana-Bafana looses, they will still qualify, but from analysis, SA has every reasons to beat Nigeria.
