Football is not by size of country

Learn from it..
The problem of the Super Eagles is not the players.
The problem is the corrupt house called The NFF (former NFA).
That body, together with the corrupt ones that run the place, are the most inefficient set of administrators in the continent. They are corrupt, they lack initiatives as they don't know how to harness the abundant footballing talents Nigeria has to advace the country to the world cup.
Rohr will finally seal our fate tomorrow, and everyone will move on.. They fired Rohr. They always fire the good ones and employ the bad ones..
This country will never move forward on any front untill corruption is tackled..

Size + interest. When football is the most popular sport in a country with a large population, size becomes relevant if that country is underperforming because they ought to have a large talent pool to draw from by virtue of their population.

In both Nigeria and Brazil, the most popular sport is football. Both Nigeria and Brazil have populations over 200 million, but nobody will ever disrespect Brazil by comparing it with Nigeria in terms of football accolades and achievements.

By this time tomorrow there will be tears in Nigeria or SA? Both countries cannot 😂 at the same time tomorrow

I have made up my mind that if things don't work out as planned and hoped for Nigeria, I will adopt Cape Verde at next year's FIFA 2026 WORLD CUP.

Congratulations to Cape Verde.

&to Cameroon for the Playoffs qualification.

We are the group of Ibadan is bigger than the entire South East?

As it is in football, so also it is in war; size matters little. Israel is a good example

Sports cannot be run in isolation. Virtually every sector in this country is laden with corruption, nepotism etc. Such sh*ts will definitely spread to sports. The country needs a overhaul like right now. Nigeria is not going to the world cup come 2026. We have not done enough to earn a position to play there.

Ghana has qualified too.

Explain that to him...
That someone can have a family of 15 kids, yet all will end up as Bandits, meanwhile, a family with an only son or daughter would raise that child to win a Nobel prize😂😂

Most Nigerians still wallow in quantity rather than quality. Isn't that amazingly shocking?

Spain & Portuguese nationals

Is our group the toughest qualifiers ?

Size matters in this case because Nigeria is a large football loving country where it is hands down the most popular sport.

To borrow from your logic, Nigeria ought to have a large enough talent pool to produce both quality and quantity.

Not sure for Cameroon

Same Cape Verde was the reason why Nigerians shout at NFF to sack Genhort Rhor four years ago because they drew with super eagles in Akwa ibom despite after the super eagles top the World Cup qualifying group table

We're you not among the ones that called for firing of Rohr

There are no more small teams in Africa. I think we were too over confident and underestimated our opponents.

Procashtips:
Not sure for Cameroon

Playoffs, 100% sure for Cameroon.
Also for Gabon & Burkina Faso
& for DR Congo if they win today.

Only sure for Gabon and Cameroun based on the current positions

Nigeria winning 4:0 and Dr Cong Winning 1:0 pushes Burkina Faso out.

Realistically, do you see Nigeria beating Benin 4-0?

We have Benin, South Africa & Rwanda in the same group
I saw some other groups and it looked easily for the top tier teams

GanagiBitrus:

From Data analysis & recent trend, not going to happen
But then again, anything is possible in football
If Benin gets a red card lol

I beg to differ slightly.
The S.E are also complicit
Do you watch them play on the pitch? No commitment or zeal or dedication....

You need to watch other teams play....u will see passion and love for their country...

Yes. On the pitch, I even see 5:0 as that is what I staked a little token on.
