both Nigeria and black South Africa are been humbled already..

wyte supremacists are importing terrorists into Nigeria to kill, destroy and destabilize Nigeria and are still collecting 60% of Nigeria's crude oil

while wyte supremacists are importing people from u:kraine, IsraHell and other countries into South Africa to destroy black South Africans politically and economically.. at least terrorists are not killing black South Africans daily and your currency is strong so all you black South Africans have to do is buy and sell from yourselves and you will be okay..
LMAO. 9JAMac10 maybe you should hang out with your brother here ,you could learn a thing or two especially about your "ownership of your economy " grin grin.

Codemaniacs You are one of the few Nigerians I've come across who seem less deluded about whyt supremacy and economic terrorism in full black countries like Nigeria whilst they are pre-occupied with SA blacks wink

Who's this olakunle guy. Clearly out of his depth.
he is not out of his depth.. he was playing hero-ball like Lookman but he was pressing and closing down the Benin players.

Thanks to him SE was still pressing beyond 80mins.. even Tolu that was subbed on late was not really pressing...

Shane or no shame, Rohr has been knocked out of una mouth. Cos you guys propped him up like he was some prime Guardiola. The weakness of our failure to qualify automatically does not mean Rohr has substance. We took him to cleaners!
Lol, you're contradicting yourself. The weakness of your failure to qualify automatically is actually PROOF of Rohr's undeniable substance and although it has been said almost a thousand times, he did it with GAMES TO SPARE.

The problem with Nigerians is that we have a short memory. We forget quickly. Let me remind you that before Rohr was appointed as Nigeria's coach, we were languishing in 64th position on the FIFA Rankings. As at the time of Rohr's sacking, we had grown all the way to 36th i.e He took us 28 places up on the FIFA Rankings. That's the impact of the man you're trying to demean and berate. That's the impact of the man whose reputation you're trying to stain.


You didn't take Rohr to the cleaners. You actually unintentionally highlighted his impeccable coaching abilities by finishing on the same points as his Carpenters and Farmers from Benin.

Once again: Shame, Shaaaame, Shaaaaaaaaammmmmmme!!!!!!!!! 😄🤣

Yes but people here will not admit it...

it is an NFF imposed formation...

same way Onyedika, Ejuke, Tella, Akor Adams, Tolu e.t.c. rarely used to get called up...
It has to be an NFF forced formation but my thing is can’t the technical crew override the decision?

433 gives us far more stability.

I can only pray he is always fit and that he wins the AFCON to cement his legacy.

I think Akor and Tolu will do fine.
That should be a fight between Moffi, Akor and Tolu.

I put Tolu last in the list because dude seems like another social media guy that cares so much about his looks.

Was never in doubt Minfelix.

Senegal 3-0 up. They bag their WC ticket tonight.

DRC up 1-0 vs Sudan but doesnt matter to Senegal. But matters now to Burkina Faso.

TheSuperNerd:
Senegal that came back from 2-0 down away in Kinshasa to beat DRC 3-2 and topple them will now bottle vs Mauritania at home today??

Abeg. Read my words. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. SENEGAL WILL SMASH THEM.

More like 3 games and 4 in total.

2 games to become the continental champion which qualifies us for the intercontinental playoffs.

We would likely only play the Semi-Final as high ranked teams won't play the first game. Should we win that we would have qualified for the world cup.

So we need to win just 3 games to qualify.

NIGHTMARE0O7:
Its not being unfair lookman tends to hold ball too much to score his own gaols which chukwueze gets the ball and looks for osimhen.

Chukwueze played with same simon and performed while lookman played with him 3 times and didnt show up.

But in all lookman is better than simon sha.
He is a bit selfish thats his problem
Lookman does not see himself as a supplier. He sees himself as the main guy. Of course, we need another person with a main man mentality like Osimhen but Lookman overdoes it. Even Osimhen is very unselfish.

The reason Chukwueze shone today is that whether by instruction or by his own self motivation, he decided to be a supplier today and it paid off. He was highly instrumental to the outcome of today's game. From the moment Lookman got the yellow card, I was relieved and I predicted that our game was in Chukwueze's hands.

The reason Rashidi shone at Afcon 94 was because of Oliseh. Oliseh was giving the Baba, telegraphic passes.

Osimhen needs an Oliseh.

Oliseh was the secret to our midfield. He was a combination of Mikel and Onyedika and Onyeka and Ndidi. He was too good - a DM who was a deep lying midfielder and orchestrator.

it was not the 433 formation...

it was the younger players that were subbed on that made it seem like SE had more stability..

there was more energy and stamina on the pitch.

before it would have been Ahmed Musa, Etebo, Omeruo e.t.c. that would have been subbed on.

Nigeria in form is beating all those teams in the African playoffs.

My major fear with the playoff is the interconfed stage.
The intercontinental play offs has very lowly teams, and due to our FIFA ranking we will only play one game
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 9:38pm On Oct 14, 2025
Silence pls! Moses Simon has his very very annoying moments but he still turned up with 2 big assists today in the 2nd half. One for Osimhen's 3rd and the other for Onyeka.

Ndidi should be banished first before mentioning Moses Simon.

The coach should bench Lookman or Simon both should not play at the same time

Kudos to Zaidu, whenever he plays alongside Bassey nothing gets past the left side of our defence.We saw that in the AFCON with so many clean-sheet.

He was our only attacking outlet from the left, so good on the overlap.

Playing like a prime Aina with insane work-rate.

Chiemela on his own part blocked everything that tried entering the right side of our defence.

Simon is more of a team player compared to Lookman.

Adams might not have gotten on the score-sheet but his contribution in our attack today was immense.

My only fear when I saw the starting lineup was Ndidi.I would have preferred Onyeka but he later scored his second international goal from the bench.We recall he was voted best mid-fielder at the AFCON.

Dropping Ekoong helped us secure a place in the play-offs by keeping a clean-sheet.

I loved the cohesion and selflessness I saw in the team today, from Adams,Chukwueze and Simon.

We can use this forward line for our next game.

Onyeka still deserves a starting place in our midfield.

Ndidi shouldn't be playing 90mins, he always get subbed after the hour mark or at the 70+ mins for Besiktas.He is no longer in his prime.

If he starts he should be replaced early in the 2nd-half.

Overall nice game for the boys.

Double Cs (Cocony & CapitalCee)... your qualification maths hopes lit up and enlightened the thread. I loved it. I knew it for myself already but u both took the time to enlighten.
Mineflix and Amedino99... Your monitoring of the 2nd placed team results was beautiful. Great compliment to the double Cs
QueenJazz

Elyte89... a coach with never give up mentality. Elyte89 is one of the few who never wavered and kept pushing with belief exploiting any chance at all we have.
Semid4lyfe... Amiable moderator of the sports section who is as invested as anyone.


I cant mention all but just know that I see everything and everyone. You all rock. This thread had a direct hand in this Playoffs qualification.

This Super Eagles Thread proves once again why we are the best and most informed assemblage of fans and analysts on all our men's National teams and Nigerian football as a whole.

I salute u all and ask that u keep the faith and the fire ahead of the playoffs. We will get to USCAMEX 2026. We started so badly but here we are. Story not finished but will end in Glory.
Thank you sir. We dey reach this World Cup seh 🔥
