In my opinion
Éric Chelle was appointed for this game against SA because of his work with Mali
He got a tie against Zimbabwe, he should’ve won that
It’s a make or break game
Win & Nigerians will applaud him till the end of AFCON next year
But lose or draw & hmmm.
I look forward to Chrisantus Uche & Samuel Chukwueze balling tomorrow

BankyGee:
Leave them na.

Morocco in the Olympics conceded an offside goal against Argentina to turn their win to a draw in the last minute. ASAP they lodge complaint say them no go gree, the match was resumed three hours later, goal canceled and last three minutes replayed without spectators in the stadium again, and they won the game.

Like my respect for the Moroccan FA just tripled that day! Likeeeeeee, they forced a finished match to be replayed o.

The match was not concluded "finnished" it was only interrupted which was announced and it was due to the morrocan fans throwing things into the field after the late equalizer because they assumed the extra time should have been over. but since the matched was interrupted and var already considered it was no goal so it wasn't announced and they wanted the crowd out of the stadium to avoid further volence from both sides. Var decision was announced after the match was resumed and the match concluded. so it had nothing to with any petition

charlesemeka85:
the points will be deducted but even at that we still need to win SA and our remaining matches to qualify

hope our boys can turn up sha🙏

BankyGee:
That thing no look like wetin fit be true 😂😂😂

okay ooo but never say never 🤣🤣🤣🤣

minfelix:

that’s the thing. While we are waiting on fifa to do the needful our boys also have to do their own part

Hmmm. I know the fans rioted in the match and I sha know wetin I see for their official Facebook page after that game. I don try go find the evidence come but posts too much on their page, almost 12+ posts per day, that game is as far back as July 24th last year.

Since I no fit get the evidence now, I go just rest. The point is South Africa cannot do this to Morocco and we'll still be speculating if their points will be deducted or not...

Victor Boniface will go down as one of the most fun footballers in the game while he'll still make his mark in the footballing world also...

Which day he join Werder Bremen wey the admin too don turn banger boy? 😂

yeah i can understand the morrocan fans while trying to feel important may think that it was thier voilence or their fa that influenced the decisions. referee decisons are final the only thing an appeal would do for you after the match is sanction the referee nothing else. but with South Africa fifa would definitely subtract 3 points from them since they fielded an ineligible players the decision would be annouced to south Africa FA by the latest the end of next month so as to allow them time to appeal the decision.

How the NFF or Sport Ministry hasn't sponsored a protest at the FIFA headquarters in Switzerland by Nigerians in Switzerland and environs is baffling. That I believe will make FIFA to speak up about this SA 3 points deduction issue.
A ₦10m or less budget will actualise it and nobody will know it's the NFF or Sport Ministry that sponsored the protest

Sponsor protest ke?

Let's assume your suggestion is considered but we still don't qualify, what do you think will happen

All this talk of 3 pts deduction. Let it rest for now. The deduction will come.

But what is paramount now is ensuring we win tomorrow. So that when the hammer of FIFA inevitably falls on SA, it would be to the benefit of our WC chances.

Let us bag 3pts in SA first before we voice the deduction louder.

Finito.

and fifa approved it ?

If I'm correct, RSA delayed the boys at the airport and now they're forced to train under car shade because they're not given access to the training pitch.

And NFF or whatever isn't doing anything about it.

I doubt this is correct, FIFA changed both games (Vs Lesotho and Vs Nigeria) to Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein because the field of previous venue isn't good. We are playing in same field that Lesotho played. Lesotho and South Africa played well there. It is not excusable, if we don't play well at same stadium.

Nawa. Tomorrow's going to be a long day. Definitely not a game for the faint of heart. At this point I'm prepared for anything.

Wetin be this abeg? Na handball and counter our SE dey play? This must be a joke!

Senegal and Nigerian in must win away game tomorrow.

will do everything to win. It's a do-or-die affair for them. Expect more hostilities from them; they may even lock the team inside the hotel to ensure they are late for the game, but this shows they still have this palpable fear of the Eagles. Whether our boys can take advantage of this remains to be seen.

I'm just worried about the officiating tomorrow. Because I still remember how Musa's brace were erroneously canceled when we played them back in 2018.

I wonder why some people are worrying themselves when we are yet to win all our matches.

The 3 points will definitely be deducted as long as they fielded ineligible player.

Frimpong, Hudson Odoi, Nketiah wouldbhave added more quality to us as we prepare for the WC but at least we have Qudus, Semenyo and Partey.
