I sincerely do not see how we can defeat SA on Tuesday.

Our Boys can not drive through a defense to score.

They can't run

And Chelle won't play Chukweze through the middle.

Trust me... No hope of winning

It all boils down to this. It's at least staying alive in the competition as opposed to being qualified.

Also, it's as if they're not motivated by the chance of playing in the world cup except few of them like Osimhen that's not playing and maybe Tolu. They are not fighting and chasing down every loose ball, just being lackadaisical.

Since there's no Osimhen, my confidence shattered but small hope still dey.

I would like us all to start posting what we think is the best lineup for the match. Let me do mine:

4-2-3-1

Nwabali

Aina Frederick Bassey Bruno

Ndidi Onyeka

Simon Chukweze Lookman

Tolu

(Lookman interchanging with Chuks won't be bad. Though I don't know how Lookman fares playing through the middle)

The equation is simple

if (Nigeria.beats(SouthAfrica) == TRUE)
{
Result = "Qualify";
}

{
Result = "Eliminated";
}

Na Spain o 😏

Türkiye seff too do pass themselves, instead of to sit back, them dey play highline against team wey generate highline and their coach was too stubborn to re-strategize even after going down 0–3 HT.

Didn't take long to see this in action.

Spain with UCL level players just destroyed a Turkey with 3/5 of its backline as current Gala starters.

There are levels to this game.
you get problem
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by BankyGee(m):
On betting platforms, odds are against us. But I no dey fear seh. Na the unavailability of Osimhen don drop my confidence small, but even with a crippled squad we can't lose to South Africa.

In our last 10 meetings, South Africa has 1 win, 4 draws and Nigeria has 5 wins.

The last time we played them, see who and who we played against them and we still drew the game, coming from a goal down.

Finidi George (Coach) 😂
Onuachu (CF)
Benjamin Tanimu (LB)
Osayi Samuel (RB)
Semi Ajayi (CB)
Iheanacho (LMF)

This will be their replacements in this current squad.
Éric Chelle (Coach)
Tolu/Dessers (CF)
Felix Agu/Bruno Onyemaechi (LB)
Ola Aina (RB)
Benjamin Fredrick/Ekong (CB)
Chukwueze, Lookman, Simon, Iwobi, Uche, Onyedika, Onyeka, etc...

The squad strength and value is different now, and the South Africa have even lost some important players over the months since we played them.

Even their unbeaten streak wey we dey talk na against small Southern African teams too, no serious opponents. We will beat them joor.

Lemme add that in Manager H2H, Éric Chelle [1]–[0] Hugo Broos

Éric Chelle will be looking to make it [2]–[0].

Lol some journalists like pooja and Ademola Victor are defending Nwabali rascality hailing him as a macho.
It's all fun and games until Nwabali receives a red card.

Na wetin Dey pain me pass, the Rwandans were vulnerable thru the middle but our guys Dey play sideways honestly I think it’s a confidence issue those boys may not really believe in themselves like that or maybe they are scared of injuries which one I no know

Why is our coach limiting Ademola Lookman ?
It could cost us.
Journalists should ask him pls
Moses wouldn’t produce the efficiency Lookman has on that wing
We are struggling to get goals

A hefty fine and playing their games behind closed doors with no spectators or playing home games in another country would put a stop to this laser thing North Africans do.

Will FIFA do the needful? I don't think so

See grass dem wan put SE
They're in control of the game


Any result that's not draw Nigeria is out of the next world cup
The pitch is a very good pitch and to be honest south Africa is a very hospitable country.Lets go out there to play the game with an open mind

walai if we beat SA, i dont mind if we do not qualify for the world cup….thats some fVcking huge statement without Osimhen…
This is the best time for Chelle to Use Chukwueze, im sure Hugo broos must have assessed us by our last match vs rwanda…South Africa is not like our rigid West African/ Central African neighbors (Ghana,Cameroon,Senegal,DRC) that Chukwueze can manipulate with dribbles…
South Africa plays like flexible football especially at defense…when you watch the PSL you will see players in the shape of Chukwueze showboating and mesmerizing defenders…..
Chukwueze vs South Africa is always a joy to watch.

Afcon 2019
-Nig vs SA(Quarterfinals): He score a goal from a one-two off musa-iwobi and he was really messing up Thulani Hlatshwayo in that match.

WCQ 2024
Nig vs SA(home fixture), he was brought in as second half sub…immediately Khuliso Mudau started getting mesmerized by Chukwueze, and he almost got us a winning goal from a one-two pass

The way you all underrate Iwobi in this super eagles is surprising. He has his own limitations o but in that midfield, he attempts the most forward passes, vertical passes and linebreaking passes. In another team, that technique is Gold
