Chukwueze cannot play 10 like Iwobi does. Iwobi passes can penetrate opponents defense in a sexy way. ![]() |

chrisooblog:My bad, It was FDB. However he had a good game yesterday. Who in that team "raises" the level of the team? Who drops regular assists? Sodiq Arnold? ![]() Let's talk about Ndidi. What is his role and what is your expectations of him? It's from this we'd know if you're consistent. |

Lionessza6:I see you've moved on from your pig farming venture and have decided to become a lecturer on footballing infrastructure. You're not saying anything. We are the ones living in the glorious chaos. You're right. Our leagues are not world-class. We don't have the fancy academies or the meticulous, slow-moving "development" plan you're so proud of. But let me ask you something. With all that structure, all that planning, all that money, and all those fancy youth programs, who are you producing? 🤔🤔🤔 A team that gets a pathetic draw against our team of "roaming street pigs", with all your talent. You are the one with all the equipment and the permits, but your final product can't even beat our raw talent. You see, that's the point you keep missing. Our trophies are proof that our talent is a force of nature, so potent that on our very worst days, we can grind out results. Your "developed" league is ranked number four in Africa, not two, and it's a one-team show. The players you produce are good, but they can't even tie the laces of our B-tier players. You are wailing about our past glory, but our present is still beating you. That’s the real sadness. You can't even use our chaos as an excuse anymore because our chaos is a better strategy than your so-called planning and structure, which means that when we do get the structure, we might as well not even be in the same planet. 🤣🤣🤣 You are crying too much for someone that's supposed to be celebrating. If you are so secure in your teams success, what are you still doing here typing epistles? Bunch of underachieving nobodies, Super Eagles have set up shop in your shiny heads rent free. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |

minfelix:Denmark originally did not qualify for Euro 92, Yuguslavia withdrew and they were drafted in. They went on to win the competition. Italy drew their 3 group stage matches in WC 82. They later won the competition. All these talks are baseless. Look at the image below, UEFA adopted this method in 2018 World cup qualifiers to determine the ranking for the 2nd placed teams. UEFA has always been using this method when a team withdrew or whn the groups are not equal. They also adopted it in Euro 2016. Turkey 🇹🇷 who originally got less points than Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Norway, qualified because they got just 2 points from the bottom teams. Infact Turkey benefited because Kazakhstan beat Latvia 🇱🇻 in the last game, so that game against Latvia was removed for Turkey in the 3rd placed ranking, pushing Them to qualification So what this meant is that its left for CAF to determine, we need to get the big people in Nigeria to press the right buttons for CAF to adopt this method. UEFA has been using this method right from time. CAF has also adopted this format during the AFCON qualifiers in 2012.

Lionessza6:When the best result of your coordinated and developed squad is a single, hard-fought tie against a team that is at their worst, you're not even qualified to make judgements about othera because you lack the pedigree. 🤧 You’re celebrating a draw like it's a major trophy -- symptom of a nation whose footballing standards are lower than a snake’s belly. You want to talk about our "poor, disorganized, and underdeveloped leagues"? You’re absolutely right. It's a beautiful mess, true. But our "roaming street pigs" are the ones dominating the world, playing in top leagues and winning the biggest trophies in Europe, while your "well-groomed" pigs are still playing in a league where one team has won seven consecutive titles since 2017. The beauty of your pathetic cackling and ramblings is that we already have the personnel. What we simply lack is structure. Who are your top ten players? Where do they rank globally? When was the last time a South African player won APOTY. Has that ever even happened? 🤔🤔🤔 You can sit there with your "FIFA participation award" and pat yourself on the back for finally making it to the big leagues. Your World Cup trip is a consolation prize, a vacation to the USA for finally being able to tie with a disheveled and distracted Nigeria. We, on the other hand, are laughing, because we know that no matter what you build, no matter how much you develop, the day you meet us on the pitch, all your plans will go out the window, and you'll be left with nothing but an empty stat sheet and a handful of excuses. 😭😭😭😭😭 |

Snuffing out danger, protecting defense, while providing base for midfield. Unfortunately lately he's nowhere to be found when opponents are marauding in our half. Even when available gives away cheap fouls. As for who raises the team Nwabali at the last AFCON did, We can see Benjamin and Tolu's influence. Odunayaw: |

The format below is what will be adopted: Here is how those four best runners-up are found: Step 1: Normalize the Results for Fair Comparison This is the most critical rule. Because one group has only 5 teams and the others have 6, you cannot fairly compare points totals directly. A runner-up in a 6-team group plays 10 matches, while a runner-up in the 5-team group plays only 8 matches. To fix this, CAF disregards the results against the bottom teams in the larger groups. · For the runners-up in the groups of 6 teams, only the results against the teams that finished 1st, 3rd, and 4th are counted. The results against the 5th and 6th-placed teams are removed from the calculation. · For the runner-up in the group of 5 teams, all their results are counted (they only played 8 games, all against relevant opponents). This creates a standardized "mini-table" for each runner-up based on 6 matches (against the 1st, 3rd, and 4th-placed teams—home and away). Step 2: Rank the Runners-Up Once the results have been normalized for all nine runners-up, they are ranked against each other based on the following criteria, in order: 1. Number of points (from their 6 considered matches). 2. Goal difference (from their 6 considered matches). 3. Number of goals scored (from their 6 considered matches). 4. Number of away goals scored (from their 6 considered matches). 5. Drawing of lots. 6. Fair Play points (fewer yellow/red cards). The top four runners-up from this ranking advance to the play-off stage. |

Lionessza6:😂😂😂😂😂 Just accept the fact that our historical dominance was a matter of simple sporting superiority. You don't have to invent a useless narrative to make your constant failures against the SE seem more significant. You and I know that when it comes to 9ja and SA, there is NO rivalry. The stats will tell you to your face that our history has been entirelu lopsided. The Super Eagles have consistently bent you over the bed and violated you in every single encounter. The most recent example was our semi-final victory at the last AFCON that is obviously haunting you so much that you have to write a manifesto about it. 😭😭 The more we developed the less wins you had ,infact it will be a miracle if you ever win against us again ( without going to penalties...more of a game of luck than anything )😅😅. In time ,we are going to trash you mercilessly and you can see it 😅😅.This is where we see your stupidity in full glare. You are writing off penalties as a "game of luck" because we rightly trounced you in that semifinal game. You're hopeless. 😂😂😂 And in Bloem our team was filled with inexperienced players as young as 19 who have never played for the national team before but they managed to refuse your well experienced global stars the much needed win😅. So no,this isn't just a draw ...that was us slamming the door on your face 😅. That was the most important match we have ever played together and it ended in a draw signaling the future....out with the old and in with the new 😅.Look at you, sooooo desperate to cling to this single, non-definitive result as "signaling the future". You are so used to losing to us that at this point, anything counts as a victory. You can’t celebrate a history of wins, so you must latch onto a single draw as a beacon of hope for a future that, by your own admission, may never come. For Super Eagles fans, a draw to ANY TEAM is a disappointment, and a failure to close out a game but for you, a draw against Nigeria is a glorious, future-defining victory. Look at you. Zero self-awareness. Carry your head and shove it in your behind. Shameless you. 🤣🤣🤣 That's just the thing about roaming pigs...they'll always be loyal and docile to anyone who feeds them not necessarily the owner...others will steal your pigs to make good cash while you the initial producer remain in poverty. With all the stars you have in Europe, Nigeria football is deteriorating and your league still remains poor and disorganised even losing sleep over up & coming local champions 😅😅. This is what you get when don't build a good foundation for your pigs ...their quality will be an advantage to others not you . The likes of Victor only came to that competition so that they won't be bullied online😅...he had to run back to the owner who feeds him to make the owner some money instead of being worthless quality in your team 😅.Listen to yourself. Your insecurities are showing badly. 😭😭 Everything you wrote up here is just sour grapes because South Africa can not produce the same volume of elite talent that consistently makes it to top European leagues, so you have convinced yourself that having such talent is actually a bad thing, conveniently ignoring the fact that the very reason our players go to Europe is to elevate their game to the highest level, a level your lowly players can only dream of. Again ,you missed the point, we want to have a league that can rival those in Western Europe in pay and everything not have our players dying to play for them ...that's what I meant by parasites ....always waiting for others to build so that you can come in and consume lol.Do you realize how sad all this particularly paragraph makes you look? 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ So your entire rant is not even rooted in your own team's success. It is rooted entirely in what you "think" is the Super Eagles' perceived failure. Now na you don show me say you be correct and seasoned loser, with very low self-worth that it can only be inflated by the Super Eagles' failure. I told you we've set up shop in your head. Years of trauma losing to us have made you value beating Nigeria over everything else. 💔 Your mind is so consumed by the shadow of the Super Eagles that you can't see the light of your own team's potential. Your are not celebrating their own progress here. The only reason you're here is because Nigeria is losing. I just went through your profile You are a South African that has been registered on a Nigerian forum for years just to spew bile and nonsense. You are beautifully and tragically obsessed with us. I don't even need to indulge you further because your latest rant is the most powerful self-defeating rant I've ever read. Thank you for asserting our legacy, and permanent place in your psyche. 🫵🏾🥲 We don't need to win every game to prove our superiority. Your own bitter, obsessive laughter is proof enough. This is where I block you because I've indulged you enough. You're not worth any further inch of my time. ✌🏾 |

Danielnino00:I saw it too, that might be because Even if its adopted it wont still matter but CAF are just too erratic they are not a serious organisation. This was adopted for the 2010 world cup qualification. This was clear. If you open that link you will notice that Angola 🇦🇴, SouthAfrica and CapeVerde got more points than Mozambique and others in the main table but after adjusting it, the table changed. That 2017 AFCOn qualification is an anomaly. That's why I said our football federation big wigs and technical committee need to bring this to CAF notice incase they dont know already. I can guarantee you that if we win our remaining matches and that method is adopted, we are going to the playoffs 100% , I have analysed all the groups, only Gabon is out of reach technically, and May be Cameroon considering they only got 4 points from the bottom team. The rest of the groups standing are still clearly in our favour. We are firmly still in the competition. All these demoralising talks will not do us good now. NFF needs to get to work. They need to pressure CAF to punish SouthAfrica and Pressure them too to adopt the best time tested methods pointing out historical evidences in both CAF and UEFA

Our midfield lacks real talents;talents with qualities. Invite Chibuike Nwaiwu and Onuche Ogbelu. Chibuike is strong in the air,with his long legs he defends and disposes opponents easily. He is also a goal scoring defender/midfielder. Ogbelu can hold the ball,pass,blocks and can shoot from distance;what we don't have in the present super eagles set up. |
