When I said, I would rather play Fredrick Benjamin at CB, some opined that it was a crucial world cup qualifiers blah blah blah.
Is Rwanda or South Africa better than the Jamaican team we play at the unity cup?.

Hello, if a player at 15 is good enough then he is old enough to play for the Super Eagles.

It's time to bring in Vince OSUJI, Chetam Ezewanta to add more steel to our defence.
It's time to also convince young players like Ethan Nwaneri to kit up for the SE.
It's time to see what Daniel Daga can do in midfield for the SE.

There are a lot of young players who can add depth and quality to the SE.

Let's look at top performers at the U20 world cup and integrate them into the SE
No more delay, bring them to the fold...

mrwilliams9:
I like this train of thinking. We need to start deploying the youth that are hungry to perform.

Lets observe talented boys from our Flying Eagles and Golden Eaglets and quickly begin to integrate them into the SE

Pythagoras001:
This is were NFF should be smart enough to play politics and lobby caf to change it from best 4 second place to best 8 second place. chelle has already gotten the rythm with the players and i believe we would win our last 2 matches. if nigeria enter that playoff we have the chance of winning the african play offs and be one of the two teams that qualify from the intercontinental playoffs.

This is impossible. Rules are made before commencement. The exception is where is an unforseen circumstance like in the xlcase of Eritrea withdrawing and which may only affect how the best 4 is drawn

MetalJigsaw:
Your insults and bitterness won't change the fact.

Those are the sad truth

You didn't say the truth. You only said your opinions. And those opinions were out of touch with reality.

Goke7:
I agree 💯, South Africa didn’t have to travel outside their borders for the two games in few days. That is unfair to the visiting team!

Even played both games in the same stadium. Both CAF and FIFA no well!

So that's it, that's what makes SA undeserving of their spot....I thought you were going to make some solid accusations like " they were awarded undue penalties throughout the tournament " or something along those lines,not this ...or atleast the blunder of fielding of an ineligible player


So where were these two matches supposed to be played , in a school field in Lesotho or a cricket field in Harare?

It's pretty much accepted as standard and normal that when all the countries bordering SA play Fifa matches ,they all use SA as their homeground....whether playing SA or any other team ....it didn't start during this tournament, it has always been like that. So there's no conspiracy here .....it just so happens to work in SA's favour at this crucial tournament.
SA didn't cheat ; we used our advantages to get what we want( investing in our local league and infrastructure) ,and you failed to use yours. ( having experienced international players and your previous records ) ...that's it . You failed to execute your duties and we capitalized on it.....and the rest is history 💁‍♂️

Players like Fredrick Benjamin, Vince Osuji, Ethan Nwaneri, Chezam Ezewanta can add quality to the U-20 national team.

I don't know if the coach is aware

Babe rest. You will still go to the World Cup and finish in Round of 32. No be South Africa again? 🤣🤣🤣

Super Eagles are massive underachievers, but we dey learn work for where una dey. With the nonsense and confusion surrounding our own football federation, it's a miracle how we consistently manage to get good results like getting to the AFCON finals or winning the WAFCON.

You guys, with all your development and team cohesiveness, the best result you can get after all these years against a trashy Nigeria is measly draw, and you are coming here to shine your brown teeth? 🤣🤣🤣

Congratulations on making it to the World Cup. But we all know you will still come back empty handed, that is if you are lucky enough to pass the group stage. 😭😭

This is not true. Benin has had their matches played in Morocco at some point (not in this qualifier though). Is Benin close to Morocco?

The essence of home and away is to give equal advantage to all teams.

Excuses excuses excuses

You missed the point of our national excitement
.....
We are developing our league to be World class step by step ,and we are seeing the needed results and that's what we care about: progress.

We are not a people that believe in shortcuts, we started from being one of the poorest leagues ,with a weak team. Now we are competing with only Morroco and Egytp in terms of everything else except wins. So we need to Work on that and this will embolden us more .

This is is a build up , the same way we started building up by hosting small events before being bold enough to go for hosting the world cup.

We need to be regulars on that.world Cup tournament even as doormats,that will make us learn like in everything else we like to challenge those better than us than winning against the worst ....that's how we got to be lead BRICS and now the G20 nations. .....build up. We are not bigger or better than those nations but we know how to work the system in our favour once we get into something and that's what we are aiming at here ....sitback and watch .....that's your position anyways

I laughed at Ethan Nwaneri, good luck with that. But i agree with the rest of what you submitted

mrwilliams9:
That’s the thing for me. The miss out on WCQ against a Morocco or Egypt, no yawa.

But Ghana and SA, two of our big Anglophone rivals? Haba!

Something that would never have happened under previous generations of Nigerian players, imagine a team with hot-heads like Sunday Oliseh, Jayjay, Ikpeba, Amunike etc bending over to Ghana and SA and worst of all Lesotho and Zimbabwe? Even the Mikel Obi/Osaze set wouldn't have gotten bullied like this to Ghana and SA. We really fell off honestly, surely we need to go back to the drawing board and start afresh, I'm prepared to succeed and fail with a new and younger generation of players who will fight for every blade of grass just for that Nigerian badge and pride. I'm done with this current players, absolutely done.

It looks like the only senior World Cup that Nigeria would be playing in, next year, will be the FIBA Women’s World Cup 🤷🏾

It pains me to say this, but I really don’t see any miracle that would even propel the SE to both the African and intercontinental playoffs; and it’s especially more painful when an own goal virtually killed off any remaining WC hopes.

How so

U are a South african.
So u will say this as expected.
But one this The match wasnt played on level playing ground.

During any Euefa competition draws.
There is a reason why they make sure There are no two clubs in the same country that plays iN the same group.
They make sure all the clubs are well spread accross the groups.

I still maintain SA CHEATED the competition was equal and fairl to everyone in the group. UPPER HAND was given to SA
Thats the truth. But lets see how far They go in WC. after qualifying through fraud.

One thing is sure …South Africa might drop points against dt stubborn Rwanda 🇷🇼 especially once dey win deir game at home in Kigali against Benin 🇧🇯…dt Rwanda 🇷🇼 team is d most stubborn team
In dt group

So both Fifa and Caf are in our pockets? Why are there no other African nations protesting this but you,especially the ones directly "affected"?

Anyways, win or lose....we are going there to build up,this is our first time as a solid and stable league. We need to go there and make our blunders and learn....come back to our league to correct ourselves and go back better in the next world cup. We are patient people not shortcut people...we work in stages of development not expecting overnight miracles like some people who belive in instant success .

We just want that experience and also an opportunity to unite the country just like 2010 did, so the WC isn't just about soccer but nation building. But I'm speaking a foreign language to you I'm sure because you'd probably rather go and build with the English that build with your own

Benin does not share border with Ivory Coast where they play their home matches so rest! This is a big time conspiracy

If it favoured Nigeria you wouldn’t be saying this in fact you guys will go all over social media like calling Nigeria all sorts like you do so save all those execution bull shit! Playing 7 games in your backyard is unfair to the other teams no matter how you spin it.

Suggest players for Chelle. I and my daddy; Gernot Rohr dey laugh at Nigerians. The I received insults here because I didn't support the sack of Rohr, today,we have missed two straight world cups

LMAO. Well it's you who gets to call us all sorts of names now💁‍♂️ ....enjoy that . Your people are even threatening to remove Motsepe from CAF...one of it's best leaders so far because of yesterday .

Anyways , I repeat SA soccer infrastructure and league organisation got us here ....years of building while others were busy mocking us as just local champions. The other teams aren't complaining ,why only you ? . Zim and Lesotho preferred to play here than anywhere else,if they wanted they could have protested . Rest bro...e no reach dat level na

At the bolded...and ?

So which other Fifa approved stadiums in the region were the other teams going to use apart from the SA ones ?. Many of their citizens can travel by road to here and many are already living here, so you wanted them to opt for West Africa as their homeground?

Mujtahida:
We like to win clean. Even the Bassey goal no sweet us. We feel it's beneath us to use ojoro to win.

And we will continue to be subdued if time is not taken in fact the next time we are bullied again by any other country I go just switch off cos it’s foolish trying to win clean when your opponents is not clean or trying to be clean in any way.

Imagine Nigeria playing 7 games in Nigeria during a wcq the entire continent will finally crown us as the global headquarters of corruption, we can’t do it but others can, rubbish.

lbrichman2:

Asin thats if Benin dont knock them out
They couldnt beat Rwanda the couldnt beat Nigeria.
They only beat their puppies playing their away games at home.but some1 is telling the They deserve it.😂

REST!!..U dont normally qualify to world cup . Until now ur brother is head of CAF and u played ur supposed away matches at home. Thats the only Way SA can Go world cup.

Joebie:
and i would have maintained the same back line we had against Rwanda. Started Tolu instead, as well as Uche. Ndidi will have lots of work to do

Bro u left uche, chukwueze, Tolu on the bech for what nau people we thought u rested so the can match energy of SA who had 1day rest advange.

😂 imagine o playing two games in the same country, same city and same stadium even had one extra day to rest having played on Friday whereas the eagles played on Saturday and had to travel immediately for a game on Tuesday. And they people say they are deserving cos they were knocking the ball around! see whining 😂

This time with Bennin Republic

Ppogbae:
South Africa has one of the world's greatest cricket sides and arguably the best rugby union side in the world at the moment. Their success in those sports stem from world class training facilities, great administration and a robust university varsity sporting system. It was inevitable that all of these strengths would be parlayed into their footballing set up. Congrats to them on the eventual qualification.

congratulations to who I can never salute my enemy
