Reports say Chelle is in Morocco and will most probably speak to the list today.

MetalJigsaw:
I read that the list has been submitted but Chelle isn't making it public yet.

solonnachi:
Lookman should please leave Atalanta in January. What is this?

Where are the NO men to correct his behavior

There is no single move or dribble that Lamine Yamal pulled yesterday that our own Chidera Ejuke cannot perform, none.
Yamal had his good moments, and his errors.

What Ejuke needs to add to his game is the mentality of a super star. He needs to demand more of the ball. He needs to make it easier for his teammates to give him the ball by placing himself in positions where the ball can easily get to him.

He needs to assert dominance on the field of play. He needs to make things happen and sometimes he needs to force it. Leadership is needed to stand out. Iwobi is what he is at Fulham because he provides the needed leadership on the field of play, he is part of almost everything that happens on the field.

Chelle wan speak to the list ?😂🤷🏽‍♂️

Ejuke sometimes plays like someone who is afraid of blame.

Risk is part of the game. Players like Osimhen or Yamal don't care much about your criticisms of their play.
Without risk no player can stand out.

The officials for the NIGERIA 🆚 GABON World Cup Qualifier have been confirmed, with a full team from South Africa set to take charge.

Leading the match will be Abongile Tom as Centre Referee, assisted by Zakhele Thusi Granville Siwela, while Akhona Zennith Makalima will handle VAR duties.

The Referee Assessor, Hugues Alain Adjovi, hails from Benin Republic.

COPIED

So them even bring ref from Benin republic too😂
Ooh wow

They for add a Ghanaian to complete am.

VAR will be very important.
As long as we take our chances on time to reduce pressure,those referees will respect themselves.
I expect them to be professionals.

But of all the referees in Africa,na only SA they can assign to us?
Those CAF's guys dey behave like our NFF.

The NIGERIA vs GABON World Cup Qualifier would be officiated by a host of South African officials.

Centre Ref - TOM Abongile - South Africa.

Assistant Referee - SIWELA Zakhele Thusi.

Granville - South Africa.

VAR - MAKALIMA Akhona Zennith - South Africa.

Ref Assessor - ADJOVI Hugues Alain - Benin Republic.

Appointing the following officials from nationals who have just been challenged by the Super Eagles in the battle to qualify for the just concluded FIFA World Cup games sounds questionable from the strict moral sense of it.

South Africa has got some beef against Nigeria and this was openly and bitterly expresses by their FA Chairman.

Benin Republic just got outsmarted by the Super Eagles through superior points from the same qualifying group and (the officials from that part of the world) may love to make some calls at the disadvantage of their arc rivals.

Do not forget, in a contest like this, every detail matters and the margin of error to make a difference could just be very slim.

Counsel: I advise the Super Eagles players not to be reckless in their tackles on the pitch. They should watch their temper and respond to the officials respectfully and if possible, do that through their captain only.

These officials will definitely work against the Super Eagles. I pray we put up performances that will not leave our Victory at the mercy of the officials.

Good day family

Baba, good afternoon....

You are putting Ejuke in a conversation with the best player in the whole world...

Ejuke can only dream of Yamals right leg(weak foot)

Odunayaw:

They have been in hiding since Osimhen started destroying all charts in UCL. They are still consulting their IFA to know whether YES men better pass NO men.

South Africa carry referee ooo
Give Gabon expo ooo
Hate on Nigeria ooo etc no stop the cane Gabon will collect.

We have Osimhen.
Nothing dey sup.

Toylove:
Chelle wan speak to the list ?😂🤷🏽‍♂️

I think u wan find trouble

mekabuachi:
south Africans on Facebook are saying Nigeria would never win Gabon, following the appointment of the referees (from south Africa)... Omo nawa ooh😒

Which kind wahala be this? South Africa has become thorn in our flesh oo 😂😂😂. They stopped us from qualifying from the group, now they're after us again in this playoffs?

It's most unfair for CAF to give us SA refs. Fairness is not merely an act, it is perception. The SA minister of sports was emphatic that he does not want Nigeria to qualify. Motsepe is the head of CAF and a South African and now SA refs have been appointed to officiate our match against Gabon? Is this a conspiracy to tank our WCQ hopes?

MKPUOGALIGA:
With Iwobi as your playmaker you are no match with them. You cant win the AFCON with Iwobi as your midfield

Omanbala I hail oo. Right on cue with the Iwobi thrashing

Good day family

This should be absolutely rejected by Nigeria.... No ifs or buts, simply reject it.

Of all Referees in the Continent, you chose SA refs to officiate our match? No, No!!

This was how SA was allowed to play 7 matches at home and we did not contest it.

NFF should not allow this nonsense to repeat itself

Ajax don sack their Coach ooo chaiii 🤣🤣🤣

who give Yamal best in the world? Na so una dey delulu always

But seriously on a scale of 100 to 100, how obsessed are South Africans with Nigerians? 🤦🏾‍♀️

First of all, their useless FA president openly stated that he doesn't wish us well in the playoffs. Then CAF goes on to appoint a team of referees that are 97% South African. No North Africans. Not even countries like Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda from the East who are overflowing with credible referees. 😂

You people already qualified for the World Cup. You literally have nothing at stake. What will it profit you personally if Nigeria doesn't go the world cup?

The worst is the hairless criminal that I'm suspecting is behind the stifling of NFF's complaint letter after the fact. Wow betide Pinnick if Nigeria doesn't qualify!

lbrichman2:
Omo!!

this is osimhen saga all over again.
I pray it works out fine for ademola lookman in the end cuz Omo this is sad

charlesemeka85:

haha.. He is the best my big Oga.

I don't even know anyone close right now.
Is it Dembele (one hit wonder in a super team)
Or Raphinha?? That one no dey fifpro 11

Well shout out to Mbappe normally(big name)

Abi na Mbeumo

After all the wayo in qualifiers of making SA play 7 matches in their backyard, dem still wan runs us street for play-off, anyway if they suceed I won't be surprised cos we sef mumu all these while.

It's very easy to dismiss all these and say it doesn't matter until we see the consequences —failure.

If CAF or FIFA don't change those referees, then it's obvious dem get plan for us. I know North Africans will never take this shit from anyone in Africa na only big brother Nigeria dey pack this kind shit

I read that NFF wrote or wanted to write a letter but they were stopped. Who stopped them? We don't know

be like we no get any mouth at all for that caf house.

Dem no dey reason us at all.. Imagine an all 9ja official for South African playoffs. He no even sound well for ear...

Anyways, I personally ain't got no problem..
Winning is the koko...

Mujtahida:

I'd say it's Pinnick. I can't imagine who else.

It doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter until Nigeria score a clean goal that can give us a 1-0 win and VAR chops it off unfairly as they did in some Afcon games.

Make una dey play

Underestimating off field politics is one of the reasons we are here, South Africa played 7 games at home, no travels, had their fans in 70% of their games, yet we keep underestimating this things.

It takes one bad call to ruin a football match, all we can do is shout later.

Mujtahida:
Omanbala I hail oo. Right on cue with the Iwobi thrashing

Bros, Iwobi own don do. Una never tire ? You cant expect Osimhen to fight defender all through every match. We need a midfield that can match the quality of that of Morocco and Senegal otherwise forget any chance at winning the AFCON

Sentiments everywhere.

I said that there is no single move or dribble that Yamal pulled yesterday that Ejuke hadn't in the past.
Ejuke emerged the best dribbler ahead of Yamal only for injuries to place him just one place below him in the just concluded season.
Defensively Ejuke is better. What Ejuke needs is game time to show what he can do.

There is nothing that Yamal can do that Ejuke cannot. Absolutely nothing.
Ejuke's problem is just the mentality to assert dominance and secure a place for himself.

He needs to contend.

This was the kind of response i got when i argued that I will pick Osimhen over Haaland.

Thank you!! The fact that some people are taking this matter lightly is frankly getting on my nerves.

On an unrelated note, omo...

Morocco age grade teams just dey collect wotowoto these days. 💀

TheSuperNerd, what sayest thou? 🤔
