Following the about to be concluded qualifiers, only SOUTH AFRICA does not deserve to be at the World Cup in my opinion. It is only in Africa I have seen a team play their home matches in the pitch of their opponent: 7 whooping home matches for South Africa and 1 neutral ground game with only 2 away matches of which they truly lost one(against Rwanda)
That was dubious from the onset. FiIFA and CAF should look into this next time to ensure a real neutral ground is used

Fifa WCQs Playoffs Battle

The WCQs best 4 2nd place table's final look will emerge tonight.

DRC vs Sudan kicks off in 8mins.

So if you are a Burkina Faso fan, start praying. My Super Eagles, Our Super Eagles is safe and locked in for the playoffs.

We only await who we play with the Fifa rankings to be taken into account.
As things stand, Nigeria is the highest ranked by FIFA among the playoffs qualifiers for CAF Zone. It will work to our favour.
just answered Metaljigsaw questions .... we are the highest ranked , we will play the weakest

Even Sofascore counted it initially as goal but retracted. Lol. That was Osimhen's 30th int'l goal put on hold for now. He will bag it and break the Yekini Record during the playoffs.

Odunayaw:
Ah that's true. I credited the 4 goals today to him grin

There was this header the GK saved that I had to restrain myself from using colorful language

Meaning, whenever he played we played badly. Weldone.
How you interpret it, is up to you chief

Just stating what I saw... Today's movement was more fluid with no one hugging the ball down, moving to the left and delays passes

Everyone has their own style of play doesn't necessarily means they play badly

Rohr cried about it. We screamed about it. But SA had their way thanks to their daddy Motsepe at the helm of CAF affairs.

No home advantage awaits them at the Afcon and the WC. So dont worry. They will be exposed eventually.

But South Africa will defeat Rwanda.

We'll settle for the playoffs.

Na the goals make dem look exceptional make talk true we were poor in some segments and that’s my worry in the playoffs
which poor? Because you were expecting them to play nonstop with the opponent not having a sniff of the ball?

Oga rest abeg. Maybe na another match you watch

However, they actually need the win badly.

I don't think they want to play in playoffs.

He seems to underestimate what he can achieve with the pool of players. This scoreline should be an eye-opener for him.

The bolded explanation proofs today's game plan has nothing to do with the players.

Why single out Lookman? Na Lookman bi coach we dey do press?

Today, they allowed Benin to play while they countered and played long balls.

Today's game is tactical not about hugging ball or not.

He in fact rate our players highly and know that he can achieve a lot with the team if given more time, this is the reason he accepted the job even when the pay wasn’t up to what he was earning at previous job

Well, he got away with what should probably have been a clean goal today
He should be grateful the referee was that lenient
Another referee would have awarded that goal straight up

Did you also notice he dropped the ball again today?
That could have gone anywhere..

I like the guy
But he needs to get himself together
He needs to be talked to and avoid dropping the ball for no reason especially in the play offs any slip up he’s going the uzoho way. Let his family and close friends give him last warning

very tactical and only folks that understands the game will notice this

Chelle’s tactics worked perfectly well as he hoped, also that early goal was a big morale boaster
