Burkina has secured victory. Well, at least Madagascar lost.

The way you guys calculate goals.

If Nigeria win Benin 2-0, and Burkina Faso wins 2-1, we are tied on goals and points
Now there will be a tie breaker which is yellow/red card, knowing Burkina Faso I know they have more yellow cards.

This is the same way people started shouting 3-0 goals when we needed against Benin if South Africa looses.

We should not be running around looking for 3 goals in the last minute when we have 2, and use it to advance. Let’s be sure of our calculations

Burkina vs Ethiopia is a very expected result

Are you watching the game? Is Ethiopia even making any effort?
Currently 2:1 though still in favour of Burkina Faso. That Ethiopia can even score!

Nigeria don get hope of qualifying for WQ

You just have one great task ahead. Beat Benin 👍🏿

If it had been 1-0 to Burkina then 2-0 will tie them. But
2-1. They will be ahead of us on goal scored.

You like stress. We do not need any tie breaker so let's thank God our Match comes after the Burkina Faso match. Sense and sensibility say if Burkina Faso wins by a 1 goal margin we must need a 3goals margin win to avoid any form of tie breaker. This is the correct way to reason.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Darkprime(m):
It's no surprise that Burkina Faso is whooping Ethiopia. This is the reason why I never included that game in the matches we need to watch out for below. I only included matches where I knew there was a chance of having favorable outcomes. Ethiopia have been abysmal throughout this qualifiers. So when I saw users here hoping on Ethiopia, I just shook my head. The people who would have really helped us were Sierra Leone, but unfortunately Burkina Faso beat them too. Sierra Leone are much better than this whack Ethiopian side. Same reason I didn't include DR Congo vs Togo. If DRC could only manage a single goal against Togo, I'm hoping Sudan will hold them to a standstill.

At any rate, kudos to Mali. At least those ones didn't fall my hand.

Emphasis below

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:

Lesotho vs Zimbabwe >> We need to pray for a win or draw for Lesotho. Zimbabwe must remain bottom for our best chances to qualify through the playoffs when the points are deducted from the runner-ups.

Sierra Leone vs Burkina Faso >>> Burkina Faso will be playing away. Let's hope they lose or draw to Sierra Leone here. A draw would be the best case scenario.

DR Congo vs Sudan >>> Same as above. DR Congo losing or drawing may favor us.

Cameroon vs Angola >>> Cameroon are our brothers in underperformance. Let's hope they bottle this one too.

Gambia vs Gabon >>> Gabon to lose or draw hopefully.

Mozambique vs Guinea >>> Mozambique are on form but we need Guinea to pull an upset.

Algeria vs Uganda >>> We need Algeria to win here. I don't think a draw would be enough.

Tunisia vs Namibia >>> Same as above. Tunisia must win.

Comoros vs Madagascar >>> best case scenario here would be a draw. But if any team must win, I hope it's Comoros.

Mali vs Madagascar >>> Same as above. Mali to win if draw isn't possible.
Edited to correct misinformation.

3 goals give us qualification, but what if we are 2-0 goals up in last min, and 2 goals can qualify base on tie breakers, then we are running around looking for a 3rd when 2 can do this things.

I don’t know how to check yellow cards or Burkina Faso, but I have a feeling they have more than we do because they are a physical team, we also need to have this information.

Yes 3 will get us in, but 2 might also, and it’s good you have all information.

Omo I'm tired of calculating and rebasing, good luck to those of you who will risk your BP and heart to watch our game on Tuesday...I'll just shut down my internet and spend my best part of that day at the gym, hopefully I log back in and see celebratory results for Nigeria, but I doubt the fighting mentality of this current bunch.

Burkina Faso 3 Ethiopia 1. Now we need that 4:0 victory over Benin Republic. Firstly, most of you forget that Burkina Faso has more goals scored than Nigeria that is why majority of you were clamoring for 1:0 or 2:0. Thump Benin by 4goals margin or more and leave following other results. It is so simplified.

Nwabali has cost us the play off spot.

In 2022 it was Uzoho, this year its Nwabali
