And we will be tied on goal difference and goals scored but we will edge them on head to head.
I thought they won us in the first leg? How will we edge then on head to head?

Blame NFF for this. They knew but did nothing about it. It was actually the beginning of SE problem
Beginning of which SE problem how. Was that the reason they couldn’t beat Lesotho and Zimbabwe in Uyo

Benin would be looking for a draw at least while Nigeria is a must win as they meet in the last match. Benin can go on with 18 points (if they draw) and 20 points if they win. Nigeria on the other hand has a maximum 17 points if they win and 15 points if they draw.

South Africa can get 18 points if they win and 16 points if they draw in their last game.

Rwanda has a chance of ending with 14 points if they win their last game and 12 points if they draw.

With the kind of goalkeeper I'm seeing today, Nigeria would have to park the bus to avoid a sabotage by Nwabali (same way Uzoho and Maduka both did us in that year) 😂

My money on South Africa and Benin for the two top position 😏

Benin has a more compact team and V.good coach, compared to the super chickens of Nigeria. No go the wonder inside wilderness grin cheesy

I’m still wondering how Benin Republic managed to top this table

Dont celebrate yet grin
Rwanda can sell the match to SA for $10 m
As it stands they can’t make playoff.
Rwanda will not park bus like Zimbabwe does
Let’s hope Rwanda goalie help us grin
I cannot believe Chelle always concedes

Shattuck:
There is no chance for playoffs, only four teams can qualify for playoffs the last time I checked about four second places teams are already on 19 point, Nigeria can only get to 17 points that's if they win both games.
You’re very very correct, no chance for play offs. And even if we had the chance for play offs. Can this team go thru the rigors of it

If Nwabali hadn't made an error, we would have needed to beat Benin by just a single goal and hope SA fail to win.
No, it must be two because of the head-to-head rule.

We no fit beat Lesotho confidently.... I don't think there's a need to go to d world Cup seriously.... We should jst rebuild our squad from scratch.... Seriously I'm disappointed

EMIOMOADEOYE:
The only way Nigeria qualifies is if CAF applies the adjustments as a result of Eritrea's exit from the qualifiers. If that happens and Nigeria pulls a win against Benin, Nigeria automatically become leaders of Group C.

Reason been that we only picked 2 draws against Zimbabwe. South Africa won both matches against Zimbabwe so thats a possible 6 point reduction for SA and only 2 points for Nigeria.

That is IF (a very big IF) CAF applies the adjustment
Why will it be 6 points deducted from S/A?
Did they beat Zimbawe home and away?
They just drew today.

Like, I'm seriously shocked.ust we always blame something?

Beating Lesotho at home was an issue. Points reduced for south Africa is what I'd blame. Everyone would have been resting by now.

Even if they go to world cup, it's to go embarrass their ancestors
Honestly embarrassed their selves not we. A team that can’t score goals even with all the materials we have.
Look at Morocco, Egypt, Senegal, Ghana, Ivory Coast and co scoring for fun and winning matches with ease

Just 2. If we defeat them 2-0, we'll both be on +5 goals. So it would come down to head to head. Which would favour us cos we lost 2-1 to them in their home and defeated them 2-0 in our home.
They beat us 2:0 bro

Help me ask him o, they’re just giving flimsy excuses. If we have won those two games at home against Lesotho and Zimbabwe, what would have concerns us if SA played all their matches at home

The national team began to whittle away since they covertly introduced Federal character. Now, it's more like there's a rule that all the major ethnic groups must be duly represented in the team. Look at the two full backs. Who are they and what have they done to earn a place in the team. Imagine having a player that plays for the bottom team in the Belgian league.

Same thing that's currently happening to BBN, where instead of focusing on people who will guarantee entertainment, they want to make sure they placate all demography and tick all boxes.

As long as merit is not applied in these circles, Nigeria will continue to suffer.
Una no dey tire for this una yeye conspiracy theory of federal character bla bla bla.
Na federal character disturb this super eagles wey be say na 80% southerners full am.
Na federal character na im disturb your under 17 and under 20 wey dem dey under perform.
Na federal character say make our club sides no fit do anything for caf competitions abi na federal character hold our home based eagles wey dem no fit do anything for CHAN. Abeg bring another excuse, but wetin I want make you know be say our football don die pata pata eether federal character or not

Super Eagles have seriously declined. No desire at all. This is a match we should be winning by nothing less than 3 goals
See how their mates in Africa like Morocco, Egypt, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana and co are winning and scoring goals for fun

they can not be on +5 if they concede two unreplied goals, they become +3.. it is if we win with 1 goal difference, that we get same point, and goal difference, but they win on number of goals scored to take 1st or 2nd point. The goal conceded at the 83rd minute may come back to ask questions

They won us 2 - 1. A 1 0 win for us in Uyo is enough. Away goals rule still applies to CAF world cup qualifiers
