femi4:Is that a good reason for his sack. Did we top the group with clear goal differences? Did we use calculator or consult the help of statisticians to determine our chances of qualification? Did we rely on CAF to deduct 3 points from our opponent to boost our chances of qualifications? If no he met the targets and he exceeded despite the 4-4 draw. |

The goal Nigeria scored by hand in SA should also be nullified..yes/no? |

ARISHEM:We don't boast about result here, we are a football playing nation that focus on overall team performance That's not football development |

while this may favour Nigeria, i am curious.....where there no FIFA officials at the time? |

Oya Nigerians bring out your calculators and hope our rivals drop crucial points ![]() But even if the super eagles qualify in this current form, it would take massive effort to qualify for the second round. |

helinues:Oga, forget best loser, the biggest chance we had was to beat South Africa and we couldn't. South Africa still has the brightest chance in our group and the second place team in our group is not likely to be among the best. |

helinues:This has even put us in a tighter spot cos Benin will now be very aggressive and serious against us to keep their position at the top . . The best that Nigeria can get in that match is a draw...which will take south Africa back to the top spot |

It's really strange how the Southern teams are playing their matches in SA. A neutral ground should have been used from the beginning. Four of the remaining 6matches of the group will be played on South African soil. 10th Oct Les vs Nig in South Africa Rwa vs Ben in Kigali Zim vs SA in South Africa 13th Les vs Zim in South Africa 14th Nig vs Ben in Uyo SA vs Rwd in South Africa |

Current table. Benin republic is topping the group.

CaptainFM1:So Lesotho and Zimbabwe don't have standard stadiums in their various countries? |
| Re: FIFA Punishes South Africa For Fielding Ineligible Player In World Cup Qualifier by CaptainFM1: 5:52pm On Sep 29, 2025 |
cr7lomo:Benin is not having any home match. Their remaining two matches are away at Kigali and Uyo. Even Rwanda at 4th place also have a slim and narrow path to clinch the ticket. If you ask me, any team among the top 4 that want to qualify must go for the remaining maximum 6points. |
| Re: FIFA Punishes South Africa For Fielding Ineligible Player In World Cup Qualifier by CaptainFM1: 5:58pm On Sep 29, 2025 |
Procashtips:They lack stadiums which meet CAF and FIFA international standards |

I wish Benin can qualify. Nigeria should let them win us easily. |

Kingosytex:If he is not a genius he wouldn’t have led Benin republic to where they are right now. In their football history have they ever gotten to a position like this where they are about to reach a milestone. |

South Africa will still qualify bcus they're playing their next two matches at home. And the fact that Nigeria will play Benin at home gives SA joy cus they know Nigeria will be having hope of qualifying by wanting to beat Benin Republic. South Africa next two matches is against Rwanda and Zimbabwe both at home |

PRESIDENCY IS HANDED TO SOMEBODY THAT DID NOT WIN AND NOW U WANT THEM TO HAND U QUALIFIER WEN U DID NOT WIN. I HONESTLY THINK SA IDESERVE TO GO TO THE WORLD CUP, NOT NIGERIA. |

We need to win our next matches with good goals margins.. South Africa can't beat Zimbabwe and Riwanda outright. The least is 4 point. I wish we don't qualify Sha..I hate our fa.. spit! |
