I listened to Amaju pinnick on Arise News.
he's still believing that Nigeria will qualify for the World Cup.
I understand he's now the Deputy Chairman of FIFA men's competition.
If he occupy such position in FIFA seat, why will that allow South Africa to play 7 matches at home in Qualifiers.
I just believe the NFF didn't do much on that issue.
FIFA would have listened to them if they put more pressure on FIFA.

Lol. The NFF can't even put pressure on a balloon.

He was just recently appointed, moreover I recently noticed that nearly half of the countries in African play their away matches elsewhere. NFF just need to play the politics. Try make Niger, Chad and Benin to play their matches in Nigeria too.

Ragingthunder:
it's not that easy

If he is still around, he should simply use them in the next friendlies. Let them play for 90 minutes and see what they can do. We should use our friendlies for things like this. Some of those players might perform better than their senior brothers who play nonsense and flatter to deceive.

Make una de calm down abeg. Zimbabwe coach don talk say they will take the match seriously and use it for AFCON, preparations and also make a mark in the qualifiers una say na match fixing tactics. The Eritrea withdrawal case na still una de wan justify why we shouldn’t be there. Niger Republic is currently on 12 points in that group if they win their last match, they could be on 15 points. If you add the 6 points they could tentatively get from Eritrea, that 21 points. Must the points be measured with that of Tanzania? We are trying to pressure CAF/FIFA to adopt that method as it was done before, na still Nigerians de wan pour sand sand inside the call. Nawao. Wether or not the group E runner up emerge or not after the deductions that doesn’t mean FIFA will not adopt the method, all this una talk go make fifa to just lock up and we go comot. As team take play qualifiers thats not necessary how they will perform during the tournament proper. The Atlanta 96 team, struggled to qualify too, if na now una for don tell them to sidon no need to go the tournament as dem de play rubbish for qualifiers.

As far as I am concerned, we will fight till death, until our chances of qualification is zero.

My hope is still intact. We will win our next 2 matches.
SouthAfrica will lose or draw with Zimbabwe and same thing against Rwanda.

If that doesn’t happen, we will play the play off after FIFA applies the necessary adjustments. With Cameroon, Gabon and Either Burkinafaso or Dr Congo.

I dont understand the reason for this reply everybody wants super eagles to qualify atleast im 1 of those insisting here that S.A points must be deducted.
I no understand this ir "una" u counting urslef out as the only righteous man or supporter of S.E its very funny.

I was only saying TANZANIA had better pressure to cause the point deduction.
Thats if u can resd well to understand.

You are funny...

Who are you to tell another fan whether to keep hope alive or not?

Keep keeping your hopes alive and allow others lose their hope in peace.

Does the game play of our current Eagles look like something to keep hope alive for?

Abeg face your front and allow others to face their own fronts too

Keeping my fingers crossed but staying positive about the super eagles of Nigeria . Hoping Rwanda and Zimbabwe do the job for us and also we win these finale games convincingly . God bless Nigeria super eagles.

lol in all honesty I don’t see SA loosing to Zimbabwe and I not confident super eagle will win their remaining 2 games

Zimbabwe goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze warns Bafana Bafana that Zimbabwe 'are not taking this game lightly' 🗣️🎙️

“It's an opportunity for us because remember ... we are also preparing for the Afcon and we are not taking this game lightly, like every qualifier that we've played,” Chipezeze said as per Sowetan Live. 🎙️

“We went out there and we tried to compete at the highest level; therefore, these two games that are coming up are also a chance for us to prepare well, so when we go to that tournament, we know where we are as a nation.

“So, it is a good opportunity for us, starting with Bafana Bafana and Lesotho, so it's preparations for us.” 👀 🇿🇼

Everyone running with this Eritrea scenario are you guys sure? Because most of Nigerian sports journalists are saying otilor if you're thinking that route for Nigeria.

CapitalCee:
There is a precedence, its not rubbish. Every time this situation occurs, this method is adopted, teams are aware of this so they expect it. But it seems are technical directors in NFF are just tthere to make up the numbers

You're just supporting it out of sentiment, I'm being logical about it. I will be happy if it benefits us but It doesn't really make any sense.

It is just too non-deterministic and asymmetrical to be a rule. Secondly, it does not punish the withdrawing team since they do not record a loss. The scheduled match just ceases to exist. Lastly it punishes other groups rather than benefit the affected group.

NIGHTMARE0O7:
Naah.. niger played 3-1 yesterday
They only overtook tanzania yesterday.
Tanzania was the best bet.

I agree with u on eritrea.
Even allthese african teans that has no pitch to host qualifiers has no business with world cup. Example zim and lesotho.
They did fraud in our group with SA

Niger has one more game to go.

Nigeria football journalists are not far from NFF in terms of competence, they don’t research, they do nothing for the team, just criticize and chase clout while forming veterans, recently na to just post pictures and get betting company to sponsor them…

That South Africa matter exposed our football journalists. Nothing most of them sabi, no passion sef, just looking for daily bread.

just annoyed caf didn't use this format for us during the 2017 afcon that we missed due to chad's withdrawal (or disqualification). CAF decided Our group could only have one winner and no runner up

Semi ajayi ke?😂... Abeg bassey and Fredrick should be the center backs tomorrow
Ajayi casn come in as substitute

If they do another election today Ibrahim Gusau will still 'win' in a landslide.


Thank God the Falcons are still the most talented team in Africa, but hand go soon touch them.

No be me una go kill. My mama no born plenty.

He ain’t gonna start
Bruno, Bassey, Benjamin, Simon

codemaniacs:
Not having VAR cost the SE badly in the earlier fixtures.

Genuine goals were ruled as offside making at least 2 matches end in a draw.

for where?
1-1 against Lesotho, there were no wrong offside goal
1-1 against zimbabwe same thing
1-1 against SA same thing
1-2 loss against Benin same thing
1-1 draw against Zim same thing…

our boys having firing blank all through the qualifiers

NIGHTMARE0O7:
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?

Zambia making the second spot wil still ensure the deduction process happen

mekabuachi:

Funny enough, I trust Benjamin more in the right back position. Na 4-4-2 Chelle go likely play, which means there has to be a spot for Ajayi. Let's see what Eric Chelle has in mind tho.

Omo I just weak abeg. This WCQ don tire me.
