After our shambolic outing yesterday, if we even win Benin at all, the best I can see us getting is a 1-0 victory. And it'll probably come from another penalty. Thankfully only 1 goal is needed.
Wrong assertion. Your one goal is needed theory is not absolute as it depends first on Madagascar, Burkina Faso, and Uganda not picking 3 points in their respective games and fourthly depends on South Africa drawing or losing, and fifthly in case CAF makes a U TURN on Head-to-Head it depends on our not getting more yellow cards.

We can thrash Benin Republic irrespective of the appalling abyssmal displays in the past.
Getting a 4:0 win should be our goal should per adventure we concede late or need goal difference to get into the playoffs.

Just went back to watch the rematch and I'm 100% sure Nwabali is fixing these games. I can almost bet my life on it.

That theory is also strengthened by the fact that he plays in South Africa. Who's to say he wasn't pleaded with to sabotage our campaign by any means?

I'm flipping serious. He must be investigated.

At this stage, I'll even prefer Harcourt in goal. At least he'll be keeping with good intentions.
Nwabali has been piss poor for Chippa united this season. Apart from their Mamelodi Sundowns game where he was damn brilliant, he has been just there. Dem wan use shot kill am for PSL. I mentioned it earlier on here.

But Peseiro couldn't win these teams! Una no dey see?

Where the phucck was Nigeria before Chelle? 3 points in 4 games! NO GAMES WON! NO GAMES WON!

This is not the time to play beautiful football, how many days have they gotten to train before matches, 3 at most, sometimes 2... JUST WIN YOUR EFFING games first, qualify and then there'll be enough time to discuss tactics and shit.

Them carry two coaches messes give new coach and he's done well so far but fans still dey find wetin no loss. Yes Chelle has been making some funny decisions here and there, but he's the one, HE'S THE ONE still keeping those calculators on your hands till present. It's like y'all don't know this man hasn't lost a game with the Super Eagles after 8 games played. REST IN JESUS NAME! REST!
So Chelle should stay abi? There are no better coaches out there ba?

Peseiro almost won us AFCOn, and the qualifiers at his time were still the early stages.

Chelle is supposed to at least give us hope, with the caliber of players at his disposal. ..

Shebi u guys were praising him to high heavens when he was yet to play one match.

The calculator we're all pressing now that is giving us hope to qualify, who gave us? Is it Peseiro?

Go and check our goal difference and the other runner up teams befor talking bro.
on that table they rivals we have are
1. Burkina faso on +4GD with 12pts(home vs Ethiopia
2. Uganda +3GD with 12pts(away vs Algeria)
3. Madagascar +3GD 13pts(away vs Mali)

Now Nigeria we scored
2-0 vs Rwanda(away)
1-0 vs Rwanda(Home)
2-1 vs Lesotho(away)

Our away game against benin was a loss, our home and away games against SA was a draw, our home game against Lesotho was a draw, our home and away vs zim was a draw and wont be counted since tuey are at the bottom if thw group

so calculating our playoff standing if we are on 2nd we will be tied with burkina faso
Thats +4GD for us with 12pts currently

The bolded is true sha. Although I must say e get some kind simple in-game decisions wey no need too much overthinking. Like starting Chukwueze who's more creative and unpredictable than Simon. But overall you have a point.

That's why like I said before, no matter how horrible this campaign is, I still insist on Eric Chelle for 2025 AFCON. For me it's too early to start talking of sacking and re-hiring.

Stop the let's get 2 goals mantra as that depends on the outcome of the following:
Burkina Faso vs Ethiopia
Mali v Madagascar
Algeria v Uganda.
It is only if these matches end in a draw that the let's get 2 goals mantra becomes an agenda and even at that Super Eagles defence will need not to concede for the let's get 2 goals mantra to be a good option.


I repeat let's get 4 goals mantra will be the best option.
If we get 2 goals against Benin and South Africa draws or loses

We will be Topping the group, therefore there will be no runners up calculations

Cocony:
Not true. If we get a 2-0 lead we get to +5 while Benin finishes on +3, no calculations further as even H2H we will be superior with both teams on 17points. The problem now arises if South Africa defeats Rwanda. That confines Super Eagles effort to the playoffs depending on the outcome of Madagascar, Burkina Faso and Uganda matches which all luckily come before ours.
The play off contenders have better goal differences than us hence our best option will be a 4:0 and above margin thrashing of Benin Republic.[/b]
The 3 play off contenders you mention here do not have any better GD than us
Burkina has +4(12pts) play home to Ethiopia
Uganda has +3(12pts) play away to Algeria
Madagascar has +3(13pts)play away to Mali
Nigeria has +4(12pts) play home to Benin

Thanks Queen.

It's too early to start sacking and rehiring. It doesn't make any sense. Just sack a coach that is even churning out results under unfavorable circumstances he met on ground.

Omo, Nigerian fans no dey learn sha.

asin in 2025 someone will come here and say Chelle is worst than Jpes…omo for this nairaland many ppl no sabi view match and give a honest scorecard….this lesotho wey Peseiro no fit beat na em Chelle beat oo…is chelle that told Nwabali to be misbehaving at the back?

This is not belief. This is best possible outcome.
Our surest pathway still depends on 4 other games not South Africa's game alone. The Burkina Faso vs Ethiopia, Mali vs Madagascar, and the Algeria vs Uganda games are other Variables that must go our way first as they play before us. Only then can we narrow the belief/assertion down to Rwanda winning or drawing and we getting a 2:0 win that will take us to the World Cup. The above outline is the right/correct order of belief/assertion.

You are currently 3rd and they are all 2nd placed hence you must consider them above you. It is until you end on similar positions that your argument will hold sway.

I was strictly talking of direct qualifications. Provided South Africa doesn't get full 3 points, we need only 1 goal against Benin to top the table (provided we don't concede). Even if we score 7, as long as South Africa wins, we're not going anywhere.

Yes, I'm already aware that qualifying through the playoffs relies on a lot more, and this is why I've said it before that qualifying directly is easier.

That being said, where I agree with you is the number of goals we need. The reality is that if South Africa bottle it again, we really just need a single goal against Benin. But knowing how abysmal we are at keeping clean sheets, then I'll agree that yes. We need at least 3 goals to be able to breathe and relax.
