🇿🇼 Zimbabwe coach Michael Nees: "Friday will be a fun day for us. We are preparing for AFCON, and Bafana Bafana is our opponent in AFCON. People have been undermining my players in this part of the world, we have a quality team than our Friday opponent."

I believe, and we need to prove that. Besides that, this match is a derby and we will win. Look we have no pressure but we need to cause havoc and to be remembered as party spoiler for long time to come. South Africa Bafana Bafana have been together for a while but they don't have our quality. On Friday you will know."

Have there been past incidence of match fixing between SA and ZIM
Where they allowed south Africa freely win them?

Darkprime:
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:

Mozambique vs Guinea >>> Mozambique are on form but we need Guinea to pull through

Amedino99:
we continue our eritrea playoff theory today by focusing on mozambique vs guinea at 5pm.

Amedino99:
what a match fixer will say. We sabi all this format abeg. Put the 4-0 loss in the bag for me my dear make we see front

UncleHaba22:
Super eagles that have 1-2 northerners only can't go to the world cup for group that has Benin, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and south Africa

What do you have to say about that??

NO PLAYOFFS ❌

The maximum number of points Nigeria can bag in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualification is 17.

comodo:
Verdict; This team has the Guinness record as the worst ever to come out of Nigeria. The bad thing is when the team is crap even good players will not be noticed

Morocco's group lost Eritrea. Points would still be removed.

NIGHTMARE0O7:
Tanzania messed up that chance yesterday by losing their home game. They were in a strong position to make that happen but the stupidly lost their last 2 matches

Now even if u add up the 6 points from Eriteria and give them they wont even make it to be best losers which will make removing the points not neccessary

elyte89:
Dis explanation get k-leg o 😀😀

Let me explain.. U know tanzania is in eriteria group ? (Good)
Before their last 2 matches they were in a good position to make that point deduction hapen becoz despite lackin 2 matches they were still competing for the best 2nd place.

Ok Now imagine if they maintained that pace and eventually it was the eritrea matches that made them not make it,
Fifa would say "ok lets do the deduction to make it fair on tanzania".
But unfortunately tanzania have carelessly lost 2 matches in a row which slowed them down. Now even if u award them 6points from eritrea games they still wont make the points needed to be in that position.
So that means eriteria wont do any imapct on them anymore.

I hope u understand?

JohnBullMySon:
Niger is yet to play. If Niger loses to Zambia then this your point might stand if best losers are 19 points and above. Else the deduction will likely happen.

I think this deduction thing is rubbish honestly. It might benefit us, but it is still rubbish. Instead, FIFA should just award games that have been cancelled as no show.

And lastly, Eritrea should be banned forever from FIFA. This is like the fifth time this happened. Does this not count as govt interference?

mank1234:
Exactly 3 points 3 goals for all teams against Eritrea to maintain the integrity of all groups. It would be criminal for Nigeria to gate crash into the playoff

zuchyblink:
Chelle knows little about his players, uncapped players and his team Super Eagles.
He should invite and try these players:
Ebenezer Akinsamiro
Onuche Ogbelu
Vince Osuji (looks like another Benjamin Frederick)
Chibuike Nwaiwu
Sodiq Awujoola
Alessandro Marcandelli(if he commits)

What kind of journalism is this - the title is misleading. There's still mathematical chance of qualifying as explained in the body of the news but the title is off.
