I am not cin South Africa 🇿🇦 playing a draw against Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 on a home soil ..aside dt,Zimbabwe are. Playing for nothing .its a straight win for SA

Truidstarr:
South Africans are already planning for the worst in case they don't qualify. They are talking about the Calvin Bassey handball. According to them it should not have been given as a goal. They plan to request for a replay or get FIFA to dock us 3 points. Source:Online chatter.

do4luv14:
Please bosses

How many players are in Camp now??

CapitalCee:
They may not win South Africa may be because they are not just good enough. Zimbabwe and SouthAfrica is almost the same. Nearly 40% of Zimbabwe nationals are living in SA. If Southafrica relax, Zimbabwe will win them and nothing will happen. They tried to move it but it couldn’t

M7even:
South Africa actually had a world cup qualifiers match replayed against Senegal where the Ghanaian referee in the initial leg was suspended by FIFA. So I guess that's why they believe there is a chance that can happen. This only shows they are tensed and uncomfortable in their camp. I'm banking of Zimbabwe to do that magic.

opes:
Zimbabwe is yet to win a single match from the 8 matches played so far in the qualifiers. Every other team in our group has recorded at least one win against them, except the Super Eagles. I don't see them causing any upset against South Africa. The only hope if via the playoffs.

CapitalCee:
Lesotho has not recorded a win against Zimbabwe. But lets be watching

4 things to expect from Chell
1. Usual formation i.e 442
2. Two strikers
3. Simon starts from the bench
4. Chukwueze from the middle and expect to see Iwobi in a different position, not CM.

add yours

They're wasting their time, if true.

In soccer, any protests lodged to deduct points solely on the grounds of a referee's missed call concerning the goal's validity will not stand. There won't even be a replay. The reason is because there is a crucial distinction established in global sports law: disciplinary sanctions related to administrative integrity are entirely different from those related to sporting judgment. Sanctions resulting in match forfeiture (a 3-0 loss) and point deduction are usually reserved for serious breaches of competition statutes, not for referee errors. As we all know, these breaches typically involve FDC (FIFA Disciplinary Code) Article 19 (of felding ineligible player) or Article 20 (of match manipulation). And these are often matters of administrative fact that lie entirely outside the referee's on-field discretion.

So if South Africa are really serious about achieving the desired 3-point deduction because of the handball, they would have to prove that Nigeria had committed an intentional statutory breach by deliberately manipulating the match beforehand (FDC Art. 20). Since the core of the protest is a referee's judgment call, the legal mechanism for point deduction is entirely inapplicable. Na dem do themselves. They thought they were wise taking us to play football in a farm and removing VAR, now it has come back to bite them.

On a lighter note, I would like them to keep wasting their resources and strategic focus on the handball incident. Lol. At least their focus will be shifted immediately from preparation for the remaining World Cup qualification fixtures and it might taint their mindset. So yeah, let them keep chasing shadows.

solonnachi:
See the same SPAIN that were beaten by Morocco and drawing Mexico; almost in DISDAIN now bringing PAIN, brimstone and RAIN on UKRAINE. See ehhh, you will GAIN if you don't give up in VAIN.

Off football, I wanna ask who is your Nigeria's greatest female athlete of all time.In America, they easily mention names like Serena Williams , Jackie kersee etc.

For me number one will be Mary Onyali... But Chioma' Ajuwa's gold medal will put her in many people's first place. And then Mercy Udoh Colin was great. Blessing Oborodudu ,was great , to be the greatest female athlete is debateale . Asisat Oshoala will retire as one of the greats but then she will be in third place for me from her discipline behind Perpetual Nwokocha. Blessing Okagbare , Tobi Amusan and Ese Brume were forces to recon with particularly Tobi's world record for Nigeria. I don't think aside Tobi we boast any world record .

In table Tennis Funkè Oshonsike has been to over 6 Olympics, which is great but she is not a global force to recon with.
