After the Afcon in December a lot of this current players need to be honorable and retire from the team. Ekong. Chukwueze. Iwobi. Ndidi, Moses Simon and a host of others. Ademola lookman too selfish at the detriment of the team

our group is still crazily technical….if Rwanda egdes benin in Kigali, then wahala don dey…Rwanda is thw only team that has beaten SA in this qualifiers…wetin dey pain me is when they meet Nigeria dey pack bus when they meet SA, they feel they can attack…

Zimbabwe i know wont use SA as home ground in the next game….SA might win them but Zim and SA are COSAFA rival, its dodgy

Zim v SA
SA v Rwa
This game will give SA tough time
Zimbabwe sef na mumu, what were they thinking in the first place knowing SA was in their group. Zambia is your neighbour too, move your games there!

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.
people are just sad super eagles didn’t deliver, but you see this particular reason SA playing 7games on home soil….omo it highly unfair meehnnn..
Like mad mad home advantage…even Zim playing Benin in SA is hugely unfair, the fans can choose to help zimbabwe bully Benin, or Rwanda playing Lesotho in SA….haaaa common very very disadvantageous to Nigeria and other teams, especially its like they have every games under their watch and control
Just like morocco back to back hosting 3 wafcon and Afcon still hosting the next 3 u17 wafcon….and you say home advantage wont make them reach almost all the finals.
omo forget Motsepe is really rewriting so many things🤣🤣…Just imagine zoning of Age grade qualifiers….though it started from the former CAF president Ahmad Ahmad of Madagascar(still a cosafa nation)

Laughing is better than crying when your team can never beat Nigeria. Eternal doormats. 😭



Smart enough to know a draw isn't a win.



You've been "building up" for decades. At this point, you should have a skyscraper, not a mud hut.



Your team has NO records, NO experience, and still can't beat us. 🤣🤣😭😭💀



A business with no profit is a charity. You understand the business of drawing and talking about it.



The only thing bitter will be the taste of defeat after your first-round exit. Enjoy your award of participation. 🤣🤣🤣
grin grin grin grin grin grin
Didn't we come over there to defeat you in Uyo? grin.
And as I said earlier...Nigeria still has better and more experienced players than SA overall and therfore still holds a record over SA....but that's the current status....

Before ....we used to not stand a chance against your team but today ....we have your whole nation on edge when we are about to play you ...and that'd progress and you're feeling it grin grin grin. Your team used to trash us...now they can barely keep a draw grin grin grin grin. One is progressing and one is disgressing and failing to maintain wink


If I wanted a successful pig processing plant, I'd study the local laws first, build the pig pen and processing house , buy the necessary machineries and equipment...find the market and partners for my products ...bring in well experienced personnel to manage the business and then bring in the pigs and make profit after .......unlike you who can produce plenty of pigs with no structure ,no feed ,no ready market ,just selling to any willing buyer grin grin....some get stolen because you have no way of feeding and caring for them so they roam the streets grin.

In no time I'll be richer than you who had plenty of pigs but couldn't take care of them ( nature their talents in this case) .

So in SA we started with infrastructure and everything else before focusing on the actual players .... now we are putting in money to academies and rural development to produce quality players for the market. And we are in no rush....we are builders not parasites.

And I know it's going to be tears all over Lagos when we arrive in that USA grin grin grin

Well, you collected your own participation awards without even using them to bolster your own leagu grin grin grin....let us collect ours while we take in every lesson to use it to build better 😉

They should retire before the AFCON, we are not winning anything with those players at the AFCON anyway so we might as well clean house now and use 80% of new younger players led by Osimhen as captain and then Bassey and Benjamin Frederick as the defensive core.

Abeg, no dey give me headache with all this long story about "development" and "progress." You're sounding like a motivational speaker for a fintech startup, not a football fan. Madam we're talking about football. All this talk about BRICS, G20, and building up is just a way to avoid the main point: The Super Eagles, even when they're playing like a bunch of confused street-sweepers, still manage to remain unbeaten and even run circles around your "world-class" league and your "developing" national team.

You said you don't believe in shortcuts, so why are you celebrating a draw like it's a World Cup win? Why rely on tiny Zimbabwe and Lesotho to bend over and dash you points? If anything, you should be embarrassed. With the nonsense we played yesterday, we were literally begging for you guys to win us. 🤣🤣🤣

Super Eagles are like talented but lazy students who shows up for an exam without studying and still manages to pass with a C. Your Banana boys are like the hardworking, serious student who's been burning the midnight oil all semester and still ends up with a D. What this means is that if we step up, we are sure to dominate even on the global stage. All your hard work without tangible results just shows that you guys have a ceiling you can never surpass, no matter how hard you try. I will give you kudos to the work you have put in, but even the universe knows your level, and will never let you punch above your weight class. How does it feel to be condemned underachievers? 💀💀💀

Even your countrypeople know the euphoria will not last. That's why they didn't even turn up to watch your boys play. See the stands in the stadium. Empty. They know it's only a matter of time before the South African spirit manifests. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

At least we, with all our "nonsense and confusion," have years of trophies and football legacies to show for it. With our underdevelopment, we still kicked you punks to the curb at the last AFCON and you had to settle for a rusty bronze. 😭

Enjoy your World Cup, but don't get too comfortable. You'll be back home before you can say "hakuna matata."

Bunch of jokers.
they only potentially denied us from qualifying to thw world cup, but man to man, player for players, SA is no where near us,you see that our CHAN team that lost 4-0 to sudan, this bafana bafana cannot beat them…they will still draw us…history has it that Bafana Full senior team lost to super eagles chan team 3-1 in 2014 chan..i just bame our boys for starting poorly….we played them like mad yesterday, our coach was not sensitive early enough to start fresh blood….walai if players like
-Tolu
-Chukwueze
-Felix Agu
-Benjamin
-Uche

It’s because we assume being a big soccer nation these things don’t matter but we have been made scapegoat of a big continental conspiracy and we have been caught napping cos of our naivety.

Even in the last Afcon final CAF watched how our fans and supporters despite having match tickets were locked out of the stadium while the match went on, lots of Nigerians had to disguise as Ivorians to get entry into the stadium. The ref watched as our players were kicked here and there helplessly which made our coach go mad and got booked in a final game that was supposed to be fair in the highest standard. Even in the Libyan issue if not for Ekong voicing out to the entire world that caught FIFA attention that match would have been awarded to Libya as their players were already in the stadium to walk over us.

We never see anything make we continue to assume we go win Afcon or qualify again for World Cup without ensuring there is fairness and level playing ground for all!

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. 😭😭
How sure are you that South Africa will qualify.
Do not congratulate them yet.

The last time we played in Uyo, and even with all our "disgression" and "failing to maintain," you still couldn't beat us.

Over there in Bloemfontein, our coach made a tactical blunder, our captain scored an own goal, and our overall gameplay was terrible. But with all your "progress" and "cohesiveness," the best you could manage was a "measly draw" against that circus.

The head-to-head record still shows that out of 17 games, you have only won 2 while we have won 8. 😭😭😭😭
Now, this pig farm analogy you brought. I love it! You're right. You are the builder, the meticulous, slow-moving civil servant who wants to follow all the rules and processes. You want to study local laws, build the pig pen, buy the necessary machinery, and hire the experts. And what does all that "structure" and "planning" give you? A team that gets on a bus and still can't get a clean win against our own team of "roaming street pigs."

We are the ones with plenty of pigs and no structure, no feed, and no ready market, and yet our "roaming street pigs" are the ones dominating the market and being sold for millions to European clubs. You have all the fancy academies, all the youth programs with the Premier League, all the infrastructure, but you still cannot produce the kind of talent we do with our chaos and confusion.

So who is the REAL parasite, my sister? Is it the one who has to build a complete pig farm to produce one average pig, or the one who is making profit with no expenses? 🤔🤔

You are the one who is on edge. We know that on our best day, with our talent, we will beat you anytime, any day, even when we are sleeping. The fact that you are celebrating a draw and calling it progress just shows how low the bar has been set for you.
You can go ahead and collect your "participation awards," my dear. We collect real, actual and tangible trophies and we use them to bolster our museum. You haven't had the chance to know how that feels since 1996. You probably weren't even born then so it's likely you've never experienced South Africa winning a single trophy in your lifetime. 🥲🥲🤣🤣
Your World Cup qualification is a trophy you will cherish for life. We have qualified for the World Cup so many times, we use them as tablemats. Go on and enjoy your trip to the USA. We will be there. And we will be pointing and laughing at you when go back home with nothing to show for it. 🤣🤣

There could be a possible twist here.

Benin could sneak in when SA get their points deducted and SA might be the ones slugging it out in the playoffs.

This group is still a very open one.
How about a further twist

If South Africa gets deducted 3 points and 3 goals and lose to Rwanda

Benin beats Rwanda but loses to Nigeria

and Nigeria beats both Lesotho and Benin

The table will look like this

Nigeria 17pts
South Africa 17pts
Benin 17pts
Rwanda 14pts

Goal difference then determines who tops the group.

Again, giving context that it's still very open (subject of course to FIFA doing the necessary and some miracle happening).

It's way too early for these clowns to be bantering us in football. When we want to talk about real rivals who give us a tough time, we have Ghana and Cameroon. Those are our consistent rivals. Heck, we'll even call Ivory Coast and Morocco before we talk of SA.

We've had consistent spells of bad performances and real rivals have capitalized on those moments to at least match our record.

When last did South Africa beat Nigeria in a competitive game?
How many times have South Africa been to the World Cup and how many times have they managed to get past the group stage?

If not for hosting rights, the last time South Africa saw the World Cup, we were still in the 20th Century. Haibo, no wonder Lioness is so overwhelmed with emotions. 😭😭😭😭😭

Lionessza6, you should know better than to banter with your betters. Get your records up and then we can talk. You guys are on the right path, but you're not there yet. And once we put our house in order, you'll never get there. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are the one trying to hang Ekong as the culprit. But look at the bigger picture. Fredrick left RCB to close down the SA winger in the left side of defense because the guy already beat Bassey for pace,and you can clearly see Ekong was running back on a straight line in his LCB position but because he's slow,he's struggling to keep up,when the cross came in,he stretched out his right left to clear a ball from the left side,his awkward body positioning led to the own goal. Chelle himself saw his folly and rectified it in the second half. If after this explanation you still don't get,it's fine. We disagree to agree.
The replay is out there. Don't explain away things.
He was not struggling to keep up. His poor positioning is entirely his fault and frankly his habit. It has nothing to do with Chelle.This was the same thing against Algeria

Plus Benjamin Fredrick played against Rwanda, yes, he was good but any coach will want to start Ekong because of how big this game is. Even subbing out Ekong and putting Fredrick was like him saying "omo, anything wey wan happen now, make e happen, let the boy play", and now that the boy still had a solid game, I'm sure Chelle won't make that mistake again. He no dey forget and he no dey fear anybody.

Benjamin made 12 clearances o, for someone that played just 45 mins.

Bassey and Fredrick are a match made in heaven.

🚨 TAKE NOTE 🚨

Two teams have already sealed their spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Intercontinental Playoffs:

🇧🇴 Bolivia (CONMEBOL)
🇳🇨 New Caledonia (OFC)

They’ll be joined by:

- 2 teams from CONCACAF (currently looking like 🇨🇼 Curaçao & 🇸🇻 El Salvador)

- 1 team from AFC (one of 🇶🇦 Qatar, 🇦🇪 UAE, 🇴🇲 Oman, 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia, 🇮🇶 Iraq or 🇮🇩 Indonesia)

- 1 team from Africa (via the playoff route)

Only 2 out of the 6 will qualify for the World Cup and based on the likely opponents, Africa's representative has every chance to go all the way.

Didn't we come over there to defeat you in Uyo? grin.
And as I said earlier...Nigeria still has better and more experienced players than SA overall and therfore still holds a record over SA....but that's the current status....

Before ....we used to not stand a chance against your team but today ....we have your whole nation on edge when we are about to play you ...and that'd progress and you're feeling it grin grin grin. Your team used to trash us...now they can barely keep a draw grin grin grin grin. One is progressing and one is disgressing and failing to maintain wink


If I wanted a successful pig processing plant, I'd study the local laws first, build the pig pen and processing house , buy the necessary machineries and equipment...find the market and partners for my products ...bring in well experienced personnel to manage the business and then bring in the pigs and make profit after .......unlike you who can produce plenty of pigs with no structure ,no feed ,no ready market ,just selling to any willing buyer grin grin....some get stolen because you have no way of feeding and caring for them so they roam the streets grin.

In no time I'll be richer than you who had plenty of pigs but couldn't take care of them ( nature their talents in this case) .

So in SA we started with infrastructure and everything else before focusing on the actual players .... now we are putting in money to academies and rural development to produce quality players for the market. And we are in no rush....we are builders not parasites.

And I know it's going to be tears all over Lagos when we arrive in that USA grin grin grin

Well, you collected your own participation awards without even using them to bolster your own leagu grin grin grin....let us collect ours while we take in every lesson to use it to build better 😉
tears all over lagos? Ghana, a more bitter rival of ours went to qatar by beating us and we were fine 🤣. Una too dey overate una self.

Ekong was poor for the goal let's call a spade a spade and not a farm implement.

Was midfield that basically cost us this game.

I defend Iwobi many times but his lack of urgency to shoot in critical positions is baffling because this same guy was popping up everywhere for the SE 6-7 years ago what changed? The less said about Ndidi the better.

If we can find decent replacements between now and December Osayi, Ndidi, Chukwueze should be thanked for their service and bid farewell. Ekong is definitely going after AFCON while with Iwobi I'm caught in two minds.

I was wrong about Dessers I'm humble to admit no be SE quality at all.

Nwabali, Bruno, Fisayo, Uche under probation.

Odunayaw:
The replay is out there. Don't explain away things.
He was not struggling to keep up. His poor positioning is entirely his fault and frankly his habit. It has nothing to do with Chelle.This was the same thing against Algeria

Ladies and Gents, lets stay positive. For all we know, we may be presented with a second chance. There is a reason that Handball goal stood. Yall not looking at the window being left us. We can still make it, however slim. What we need to do is win our remaining matches to take us to 17points. Of course this may sound absurd but it is possible for us to still be at the World cup. Lets forget about any perceived wuruwuru that SA may have played. They did their job while we were busy trivializing ,politicizing and tribalizing the choice of players and coach. The love I have for Super Eagles is what makes me feel we have hope against all hope. Remember the last nations cup. There was no way Cote Divoire could have qualified from the group but the window came and they took it. And somehow they got to the finals. Whether they employed dark arts is another matter altogether, But they won!

If after all the exercise and hope, we still dont qualify, then we can channel our frustration to the right direction which is NFF. SA will still get ducked in their points. That's for sure! but focus should be on the last 2 matches.

Finally, for this to happen, interferences by the FA regarding team selection needs to stop for the purpose of this team playing to potential. The coach also needs to get it right from 1st half.

Benin's 4:0 thumping of Lesotho yesterday has now taken them ahead of Nigeria with 14 points while Nigeria has 11 points. They also have a goal difference of 4 while Nigeria has two.

Papa Rohr is doing wonders cheesy grin
