Simple

Because our players are not committed to winning.

They don't have any faith in themselves

For those still hoping Nigeria will qualify:

Besides our own games, these are all the WCQ games we need to pay attention to for our best chances of qualifying

DIRECT QUALIFICATION:

Benin vs Rwanda >>> If Benin wins this game, especially with enough goals, then we're as good as done, even if we beat them, because they'll likely surpass us in goals scored. Therefore, we have to hope they either draw or lose to Rwanda.

South Africa vs Zimbabwe >>> I honestly don't believe South Africa will lose this game, but if they lose or draw, it will favor us immensely.

South Africa vs Rwanda >>> Same as above, except I'm more confident in Rwanda than Zimbabwe.

THROUGH THE PLAYOFFS:

Lesotho vs Zimbabwe >> We need to pray for a win or draw for Lesotho. Zimbabwe must remain bottom for our best chances to qualify through the playoffs when the points are deducted from the runner-ups.

Sierra Leone vs Burkina Faso >>> Burkina Faso will be playing away. Let's hope they lose or draw to Sierra Leone here. A draw would be the best case scenario.

DR Congo vs Sudan >>> Same as above. DR Congo losing or drawing may favor us.

Cameroon vs Angola >>> Cameroon are our brothers in underperformance. Let's hope they bottle this one too.

Gambia vs Gabon >>> Gabon to lose or draw hopefully.

Mozambique vs Guinea >>> Mozambique are on form but we need Guinea to pull an upset.

Algeria vs Uganda >>> We need Algeria to win here. I don't think a draw would be enough.

Tunisia vs Namibia >>> Same as above. Tunisia must win.

[B]Comoros vs Madagascar >>> best case scenario here would be a draw. But if any team must win, I hope it's Comoros.[b]

Mali vs Madagascar >>> Same as above. Mali to win if draw isn't possible.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 5:52pm On Oct 08, 2025
Ghana's Wingers depth is really good.

Kudus (playing thru the middle)
Semenyo on the left
Fatawu on the right

All based in England. 2 EPL, 1 Championship.

Another is Kamaldeen Sulemana of Atalanta. The only issue is their #9. Jordan Ayew is not who I would be banking on leading my attack against much stronger sides. Well, they can manage Inaki Williams as a 9 for the WC but he too is more of a winger than a CF.

But then I recall this same Ghana attacking lineup could not get a result at home vs Angola in the AfconQs.

So while Ghana are WC bound, they wont be at the Afcon. Na wa.... Kwesi Appiah's Sudan and Pedro Goncalves' Angola did them strong things shaa.

Kwesi especially na bad man 😁😂

Up 1-0 vs CAR away at HT. They should just add a second and wrap it up early in the second to avoid stories. Or else protect the one goal.

Take care Bredas 😉

Looking at other groups, where second and third-placed teams already have 15 points or more, you can see there’s real competition. Yet, in our own group where one team even had points deducted there’s hardly any serious competition. Despite that, our so-called star-studded team is still struggling to even make the playoffs. It’s honestly an eyesore.

CAR 0-4 Ghana now

That is how u handle minnows.

2 Setpiece goals from Corners (scored by their 2 CBs), one from Ayew and another from Partey.

By the looks of it. No one from our group would finish top 4 in runner up rankings. That's what happens when you're in a competitive group.

Comoros 0-2 Madagascar.

This means Ghana will need only a draw vs Comoros on MD 10 to confirm their WC place. Madagascar are not letting it go without a fight.

Comoros 1-2 Madagascar

Ghana makes it Five with Sulemana. And the bench runs to celebrate with him.

This may not be fair
Some teams may protest because if its not done equally throughout the tables
Some second place teams may be moved to 3rd after deductions
🤷‍♂️
Maybe you can explain better pls
I have no clue how FIFA would get it done though
In my opinion the fair thing to do would be to deduct the points obtained from last placed teams in every group
Do you believe we can still win the group ?
I’m highly certain South Africa would get 4 points & not 6 in this window.
But our GD is low
By precedent CAF and UEFA did it already so it expected that FIFA would do it that way.

Removing points from all groups is even more unfair cause someone who topped a group can drop to second.
