What exactly is Nigeria trying to prove - that they are stronger than Benin or what?

Super Eagle has shown they are horrible.

The only good thing is allowing this Benin to go play in the World Cup while Nigerians and South Africans are eating pop corns at home, watching the events.
My brother leave them like that, even if we win this match and not qualify it's OK for me

I support SA to go through. I mean. They are on 18 points after they were deducted 3 points...

They deserve it better than us
But they still had undue advantage.
Their "away" games against Lesotho & Zimbabwe were all played in South Africa.
So it was actually a home game for them.

Nigeria should allow Benin to win this match, so south Africa will not qualified
But they will make playoffs ...which might end up with them qualifying

We need 2 more unreplied goals to secure playoff in my estimation. DRcongo will most likely win Sudan at home to take the 4th spot, only 2 more goals to dethrone B/faso we can bet on.
Forget about deceiving yourself!
Nigeria out! There are 6 countries with 19 - 22 points already

SE are out already. If they like they should score 200 goals

Nor be today qualifiers start, these Nigerian players should forget about the WC.


Even if they miraculously make it to the playoff league can they still qualify? That's another question you should ask yourselves.



Their best chance of qualifying was topping the table but they blew their chance.

I really don't know why what is wrong with you guys. Those other teams you guys see their points are before deduction of points. We can only lose two points and we will have 15 points. What we need to do right now is to score more goals and win this match without conceding any goal.
Also check matches played, stop confusing yourself

Yes in all you said topping the group is the best and surest way to the world cup even from a logistics viewpoint because play off is also stressful and financial tasking.
Other points you cited are incorrect and the table below will explain why to you.
That was when these teams played 7games. They have played 3 more as at now and have gained more than 3 points. Calculate it and see for your self

Score 100 goals it still won't count for anything. South Africa has done there work perfectly. Shame on these set of players that SA still qualifying despite points deduction
Including Oshimen who fought Coach Finidi

Wether we qualify or not we need to win this match
NFF put us in this precarious position but the boys are doing this just to prove they still got it
We don't deserve a place in the WC maybe nations cup

Iceland took point off France yesterday
Iceland is a footballing country. You can see I didn't include them in the list. Iceland is in the ranks of Poland, Czech Republic and Ukraine.

But he’s right. Go and check soccer 24 then click on any old match to view the standing( not love standing) it’s been properly arranged.

Respect to South Africa!

Despite the point reduction. They still struggle through to make it

How CAF Will Determine the 4 Best Runners-Up for the Playoff (Post-Eritrea Withdrawal)

There are 9 groups in total, with only the group winners (9 teams) qualifying directly for the 2026 World Cup.

The 4 best second-placed teams across all groups will go into a CAF playoff, and the winner of that playoff will proceed to the intercontinental playoff for a possible 10th African spot.

CAF’s Official Criteria for Ranking the 4 Best Runners-Up

1️⃣ Points

CAF will rank all second-placed teams by total points earned in the matches that count (see rule 2 below).

2️⃣ Excluding Results vs the Bottom Team

In groups that still have 6 teams, results against the 6th-placed team will NOT count when comparing second-placed teams.
👉 This is to make things fair because Group E now has only 5 teams after Eritrea withdrew.
For Group E, since there is no 6th team, all results count.

Tiebreakers (in order)

If two or more runners-up have the same number of points after removing bottom-team results, CAF will use the following criteria in this order:

Goal difference (in the counted matches only)

Goals scored

Away goals scored

Fair play record (fewer yellow/red cards)

Drawing of lots (if still tied)

Our lackadaisical attitude towards important Issues cut across all board. Where was this energy in the previous games?

When we had our destiny in our hands we couldn't defeat South Africa. While we are here praying that Rwanda should defeat South Africa. Sincerely Nigeria doesn't deserve to go to the world cup.
Our Nigeria Super Eagles aren't serious. while they needed to defeat South Africa Bafana bafana boys as their hindrance instead they went on to draw. Let's win this game with a very big goal margin, then we might come out as a runners up

You can't judge with this table,cos some of those teams are yet to play
You v not been following up. There are second place teams with 18, 19 22 points that are like 5.
So Nigeria is 6th.
