There is a mathematical possibility of Nigeria qualifying.

And I am not hyping myself.

We beat Benin in Nigeria by 2-0

South Africa lose/Draw.

This is football anything can happen.

Just 1 nil bro not 2

Solofresh2:
Those of you saying Nigeria can't defeat Benin, knows nothing about football
You think winning a football game is by form?
Football doesn't work that way.As far as am concerned, Nigeria can still qualify.The game is still open for everyone.
What made you think despite Chelsea where unable to beat man united at old Trafford since 2013?
You want to tell me that Chelsea haven't been in a great form to defeat United at Old Trafford all these years despite man united misfortunes?
Liverpool defeated Everton this season.Crystal palace defeated Liverpool and now Everton defeated Crystal palace
Why can't Crystal palace defeat Everton if they can defeat Liverpool and also in form?
Liverpool defeating Arsenal doesn't mean Chelsea will defeat Arsenal because they have defeated Liverpool
The list goes on and on but let me stop here

what also make U feel south Africa can't beat ruwanda that answer this ur long write up. Y u sweating to beat Benin south Africa done jejely win their final match case close

Freshtruth:
what motivation will ruwanda even have to play south Africa again after they have been confirmed out of the running? South Africa still favorite to progress like this due to the fact that Nigeria and birnin Are playing them selves. Ruwanda go sell that match give their south Africa brothers so just forget it

I also thought the way think now until Zimbabwe surprised me today by holding SA to draw. So let’s watch out first

damosky12:
Stop trying to be defensive. That wasn't a cautious comment. It's lucid.

Hahahaha, I don’t know what to tell you again but to be honest I didn’t insult you

Freshtruth:
bro na goals iko not head to head go and read the rules so I believe say this team feel even beat Benin?

Sorry to still tell you, it’s still head to head before goal difference. This is not UCL but FIFA

Freshtruth:

I never said South Africa can't beat Rwanda.
As far as football is concerned.Anybody can beat anybody but as a Nigerian that I am,I am telling you that Nigeria can still qualify and the group is still open for any team to qualify as long as football is concerned

Edoblakky:
These boys wey you watch today fit beat Benin 2 zero for Uyo? By Tuesday, all our mind go touch ground

Just 1 nil we need bro not 2-0

Kalulu44:
Just 1 nil we need bro not 2-0

South Africa on paper might beat Rwanda thus condemning us to 2nd position if we defeat Benin Republic.
From the playoffs adjusted points viewpoint, Madagascar will not Beat Mali in Mali
Uganda will not beat Algeria in Algeria.
The Joker will be Burkina Faso vs Ethiopia which will definitely end in favour of Burkina Faso. The Burkinabe are currently on 12 points with +4 goals difference.
If we win 4:0 and end on an actual total of 17pts we will have an adjusted total of 15points +7goals to sneak into the playoff position.
Our only saving grace should be a Rwanda win and our win over Benin Republic..

ZombieDredd:
i just dey laugh people that say we need to beat them by just two goals.

just two goals against this disciplined benin team

Fortunately no be 2 goals we need but just 1 nil, that’s if Southy drop points

Pillar12:
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.

Even like this it’s still 1 nil we need to beat Benin and hope southy drop points

bro is not open anything! Is not in our hands we are relying on ruwanda. But as it stands south Africa are relying on us to advance which is a reality and possible because we still have hope but is ruwanda having any hope? Benin just even need a point. So out of the 3 now our chances slim pass bro.

Azazyel:
Bad performance. SE cannot get more than a draw from that match against Benin. I don't know how they wanna score two goals talk less of one. Then the defence is horrible. The goalkeeper sef is off. I don't think naija should go to this world cup o cos the disgrace would be epic. Benin should just win or draw and qualify. SA must not go and I'm so happy with Zimbabwe team today. They played like warriors

Fortunately Nigeria need to beat Benin with just 1 goal and don’t concede and hope Southy fail to win. Then we’re thru

Apcshit:
Useless guy

You're very wrong,why did you use such nasty words against him? If he was in Nigeria would you people give him the chance to play? At least he is playing and fulfilling his life ambition. Many Nigerians dumped the country to play for other because of the corruption and mediocrity, i do pray for him to make it bigger in his career endeavors

funmijoyb:
is not possible

Which one is its not possible you guys are yapping about. We only need beat Benin 1 nil and for Southy to fail and we’re thru

Kalulu44:
Nope, not more than 2 goals. 1 nil is needed provided SA don’t win their last match. There’s still head to head in FIFA competitions. Benin beat us 2-1 and if we just beat them 1 nil. It’s to pray for SA to lose and we have qualified

In FIFA competition and qualifiers like this when two teams are tied on points, goals difference comes first, number of goals scored second.

Kalulu44:

Two goals needed. No head to head here. It will be decided on goals difference first then number of goals scored in total throughout the qualifiers second.

Kalulu44:

No dey deceive urself during the match d coach dey ginger d players to go for more goals even the commentator said it . This ur head to head rules I no kw were u see. Am I the only time we ever use head to head was in 2006 world cup which Angola qualifies. Since then we have been on goals. Bro. Our chances of advancing is very slim

YesDaddyTill203:
This is completely utter crap; you obviously don't understand how a true market economy works.

"During the Great Depression, massive infrastructure projects were built through government programs like the New Deal, including iconic structures such as the Hoover Dam, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Empire State Building. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) and Public Works Administration (PWA) also funded countless other projects, including the creation of new schools, libraries, parks, roads, and airports. "

Pls do more research before writing such a long epistle.

You just expressed one of our biggest problems. We read books, and willy-nilly implement ideas, without considering special circumstances. The United States was already an economic Juggernaut. The great deal was designed to inject money into the economy to make people spend money. First, if injecting money into the economy was Tinubu's intention, why did Tinubu introduce policies that created austerity measures? Tinubu's policies made basic commodities so expensive and affordable, to the extreme that people can barely afford basic, survival items? How does this situation inject money into the economy? That is eminently contradictory. Second, what are you producing that people are going to buy to stimulate the economy? This is why Nigerians become humbled when they come abroad, and realize that all the things they think they know are utter rubbish. The only people who will benefit from the construction projects are Tinubu and his corrupt group, who will have kickbacks deposited into their foreign accounts. Is that not the reason Wike is maniacally building Abuja. What difference has all that construction done to Nigeria's economy? No number of road can appreciate value of Naira!

Most of the projects would not be completed, anyway. Employments created by construction projects are FINITE, temporary jobs, which last until the project is finished or abandoned. Construction projects do not create SUSTAINABLE and QUALITY employments. Even if they create jobs, they do not help diversify the economy, earn foreign exchange revenue, raise the value of the local currency, rescue the economy from dangerous dependence on one major export, or initiate massive industrialization. We need to produce! On a massive scale. We already have the funds. Later, Tinubu would fly around to looking for investors to invest $12 billion in Nigeria's economy, when he himself is spending $100 billion on bullet train and road projects. You already had the funds, the minerals and natural resources and vibrant population, to manufacture on a massive, INDUSTRIAL scale, and have ALL Nigerians working. I say ALL because anyone who wants a job here in Canada, US and other Advanced Nations will find it. People come from all over the world, and find work. Do you think it's miracle?

Okay.

South Africa will most likely qualify ... a home win against a team that has nothing to play for ... while Benin will try to get a draw ti have a chance.. Nigeria need to win by 2 clear goals ... tho possible but I don't see that happening.... the odds are just so against us... the only advantage we have is that we play our final game at home ... we could still even beat Benin and still finish 3rd...that's how bad it is for us

First of, do I thought that Southy will beat Zimbabwe who have both to play for and you can see the result so never right off Rwanda shocking them.
Secondly we only need to beat Benin 1 nil if SA mess their chances up. And you know why, bcus there’s still head to head rules in fifa competitions. Benin beat us 2-1 in their home and 1 nil against them will give us away goals to make the head to head come into place. Shey you get it

I mean it's open between Benin,South Africa and Nigeria

Biofil84:
Its easy saying south Africa will win but the reality of football is open for all to see...they thought they can win comfortably at home today but couldn't now they are going away ...is going to be a tall order for them .

Lolz, actually they were away today even though it was played in South Africa. So their last match against Rwanda is their real home match

There is a strong likelihood that two or even three teams will finish with the same number of points in the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

With four matchdays left in the qualification campaign, the race for World Cup spots is reaching fever pitch.

Here are the 8 criteria established by the African Football Federation (FIFA) to separate teams that are level on points in the qualifiers.

Tiebreaker criteria in case of equal points:

1. Overall goal difference: The team with the best goal difference across all group matches.

2. Number of goals scored: The team that has scored the most goals in all group matches.

3. Head-to-head results: Analyzing the results of matches played between the teams in question, following the same logic.

Goal difference in head-to-head matches: The best goal difference in matches played between the tied teams.

5. Number of goals scored in head-to-head matches: The most goals scored in matches between the tied teams.

6. Number of away goals scored: Specifically if he tie is between only two teams.

7. Fair Play ranking: A points system is used to penalize cards:

8. Drawing of lots: As a last resort, if the tie persists after all previous criteria.

It should be noted that Africa will be represented by at least 9 teams at the 2026 World Cup. A 10th spot could be secured if the winner of the African playoffs triumphs in the intercontinental playoffs

Kalulu44:
Just 1 nil not 2 nil, though it will be an added advantage

Ok.

Kalulu44:
I know it will surprise you if I say we need to beat Benin just 1 nil and hope SA drop points in the last game.
And if you’re wondering, there’s still head to head in fifa competitions and Benin beat us 2-1 in the first leg while if we win 1 nil we will go thru on away goals. Shey you get it now. But the 2-0 is not also bad sha

Let us stop all these permutations. Does Nigeria really deserve to go to World Cup ? Have they scored more than two goals in a game ? How many clean sheets have they kept ? Super Eagles is not as good as we take them to be. To make matter worse, mediocre coaches were employed because they are Nigerians. The NFF don't even think.

Solofresh2:
I mean it's open between Benin,South Africa and Nigeria

Yes still very much open and there will be tensions in South Africa and Nigeria.

cr7lomo:
Beat Benin 1.0 and South Africa wins their last home game will leave us 3rd on the table

It will leave us 2nd in the group and if Southy should mess up it will leave us first

Pillar12:
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.

What if SA go bribe Rwanda for them not to put efforts in the game?

2022 World Cup sweet without super eagles, make una no stress una self.

donphilopus:
If we beat them 2-0, their goals will reduce to +3 while Nigeria will be +5. Nigeria only need to beat them 1-0 so they can both be on +4. Provided SA draw their next match, away goal should qualify Nigeria.

Thank you, the first and only person that has said what I have been saying since

Kalulu44:
First of, do I thought that Southy will beat Zimbabwe who have both to play for and you can see the result so never right off Rwanda shocking them.

Nigeria needs two goals not one.

That rule has been cancelled by fifa...home and away rules don't exist in football no more
