Nigeria's last two matches 🇳🇬
Lesotho - Away
Benin - Home 🏡

South Africa's Last Two matches 🇿🇦
Zimbabwe - Away
Rwanda - Home 🏡

Benin's Last Two matches 🇧🇯
Rwanda - Away
Nigeria - Away

I believe Nigeria can get all 6 points and South Africa will lose to Rwanda who now believes they can qualify and had beaten South Africa by 2 goals in the first leg.

Benin won't get away from Rwanda easily and at home, we can beat them.

This is football, anything can happen.

Morocco 1-0 Brazil. 61mins played.

From their first cornerkick, ball cleared, recycled back... crossed in... chaos in the box... bicycle kick... Goal.

Brazil have dominated from the start... but Morocco has drawn first blood with one of their rare attacks. This is like playimg PES against a weaker opponent, dominating, but missing chances only to concede 2 quick goals late in the game.😂😂

Football is both cruel and sweet.

Morocco beat Spain 2-0 in their first game. Their first U20 WC game since they finished 4th in 2005 where they lost to Mikel's Nigeria in the semis.

Now Morocco lead Brazil 2-0. Gessime Yassine again with the assist. 2 assists today.

Vs Spain, he had 1 goal, 1 assist. That Moroccan #17 is their talisman. Plays for Dunkerque in Ligue 2. Fine talent.

I hope shame continues to catch the NFF board. angry angry angry angry angry angry See what Morocco in the span of 10 years are doing. I won't be surprised if they win a world cup soon. Nigeria OTOH still asking players for bribes and using overaged players. What is Bamayi still doing in an U20 World cup? Morocco is doing well in all levels of Football while Nigeria is wombling and fumbling. Ibraim Gausau, Ibrahim Sanusi and Austin Eguaveon need to resign immediately if we are going to get out this present slump we are in now.

We can easily surpass morocco. We have the basic. Football academies produce players at a fast rate. We just need.
1. Good coaches with food tactics.
2. Stop selecting okayers based on bribery and man know man.
I suspect this u20 was selected partly based on bribery. Like 30% were based on bribery. Even at that there is a 16 year old kamaldeen wanted by Chelsea and who is touted as the next okocha in this u20 team. I hope our coaches will start him. I'm not joking the boy is wanted by Chelsea and some Belgium clubs. The funny thing is whoever is our coach might not start him in our next match.
3. Also our coaches in the Super Eagles should encourage young players into the team. Players like ebenezer akinsanmiri, even the 16 year old kamaldeen. Just anyone who shows some stuff. We can at least try them out in friendlies. That's all. The academies are doing fine job. There is also one winger called elijah odede in troyes in French division 2. Chelle our super eagles coach needs to be proactive

It is time for NFF and West African football associations to complain about the regional policy by CAF for under 17 and 20 qualifications. Paring best teams against themselves does not make sense. Nigeria , Ghana and Senegal cannot qualify for under 20 because they have to eliminate themselves. West Africa has good result and better teams in world cup ,why not allow the best teams to qualify ? Why should Nigeria play against Ghana in under 17 qualifiers ? These two countries have the best results. Ivory coast and Cameroon could not qualify for women AFCON because they played against Nigeria .

Since Dr Motsepe assumed office, this has been the order of the day. I'm so pained that a golden generation of Golden Eaglet players of 2025 and 2026 will go unforgotten because of a stupid policy which doesn't develop the West African subregion. If they must use this format in WAFU B comprising of seven teams; Nigeria, Benin, Cote Ívoire, Togo, Ghana, Niger, Burkina Faso- then why not play it the way it is done in South America, each team play themselves in a league format and the two top teams qualify. This is much better instead of this 2 group thing system that eliminates the best by mistakes or shear luck.

Wetin?!!!! that line just dey sweet you ni or what? What edge? Did you notice that the top 10 of last year Balon d'Or weren't even too 10 this year despite performance?

New season in and he's not bested Mbappe in performance so far. Look outside well abeg.
You're not getting it at all.
Lamine finishing second last season isn't the headline.

The headline is he did it with 13 goals scored.
He already has the flair. Look at his performance even in defeat to PSG.

All he has to do is get the trophies and a strong world cup showing.

100%. But that's premature. Madrid's only big opponents this season have been Atlético and Marseille.

It's a long road

Morocco qualifies for the Round of 16. They have beaten Euro Champs, Spain and South American Champs, Brazil.
The other time I was saying Morocco beating Spain was massive and now this.

Whatever Morocco has been doing in the last couple of years only God knows but the result has been immediate and tremendous and at all level of their football both male and female.

Like u mentioned earlier, the last time they were at u21 was in 2005 when we walloped them 3-0 in the semis.

I doubt if anybody here can place a bet on it that we can defeat this Moroccan team.

Wish we can borrow a page from their playbook.

Let CAF continue playing dirty politics to please some set of region, in the end, they are just "doing" themselves.

No African team as ever been to the u17 final in the last ten years let alone win. That was when Nigeria last won.

All Africa's win and final appearance has been from West Africa and they are still short changing the region.

Let CAF continue presenting mediocre team in the name of regional development while they keep failing on the global stage

this thing na very simple thing sef, you dont even need that period of 10yrs…as 2018 world cup Morocco were booted out of group stage, and also beaten by Benin in round 16 of afcon 2019…what is going for them is in the last 5years is real financial investment in soccer
-Hosting Wafcon back to back(thereby qualifying for female worldcup
-to Host men Afcon
-to host all Age grade competitions back to back till 2028 abi na 2029 sef
- comb europe to source for quality players(check their u20 sqaud and see litters of foreign based boys playing for european clubs side) no b nonsense Bameyi and Daga NFF keeps recycling.

check our u20 girls you will notice Usani who lifted wafcon with Super falcon is also back to the team, even if she is eligible to play for God sake are they that lazy to give opportunities to other quality girls that can fill up that space

Let’s face it, the super eagles are not qualifying for the world cup. Even if South Africa loses one of its 2 scheduled matches, these set of players bar Osimhen lacks the will and skill to gain the available 6 points.

Morocco has invested heavily in scouts and cultural integrators. Potential players are identified as early as 13 years and the work starts from there.
