It is best not to include Ndidi out of the match day... Prevention is better than cure.

Cure no go dey for this one. Na prevent or die.

CAF and FIFA wrote to the NFF that Ndidi can play yet you are .... I don't understand you people oo. You want your best player to miss a crucial game cos of who? What if Onyeka get injured during the game?
Do you really think Onyedika can partner Iwobi in a 442? lol!
For me Onyedika will play the Iwobi role better than Iwobi not the other way.
Only Ndidi and Onyeka can play that role in a 442!

If Ndidi won't play maybe due to injury, then I would rather partner Onyeka and Onyedika.
Go rewatch our friendlies with Mozambique when they both played together. It was simply beautiful to watch!

If Ndidi is not serving yellow cards and will play on Sunday, doesn't that means Nigeria should expect a very rough match since yellow cards are useless afterall.

How can yellow cards be useless when if you get two, that's a red card. You want to risk it?

TheCongo2:
And your best are always abroad…

FIFA should consider limiting the number of diaspora or binational players a national team can field. Take Nigeria, for example—its local league struggles to produce top-tier talent, yet the national team often relies heavily on players developed abroad.

This is cheating in my opinion

Bye

Who is stopping you from inviting your foreign breed players?

How has it become our fault that you do not have quality players abroad?

I sense fear in you. Don't worry. Sunday is not too far. We shall do the talking on the field of play.
Ok.

Me.. I no wan hear story

Setaleonoz:

The problem is when we win tomorrow with Ndidi playing, Congo will easily cite those statues in their protest letter and contest it all the way if possible to CAS despite whatever letter FIFA has written to CAF so why go all the way with such drama. I know how important Ndidi is but is it worth all those stress especially seeing all what transpired with SA during the wcq and how long it took fifa before finally deducting those points despite all the protest from SA saying Lesotho never raised any issue initially.

Some people are still beefing us despite how clear the rules were for making it to the playoffs at expense of Burkina Faso and other countries. Let’s just play safe please!

Sheybi dem copy you for the mail? Oya paste am here

Caf has confirmed Ndidi can playyy.
Reason:Cautions accumulated during qualifiers is not applicable in play-off
That should be enough

Good observation but RED CARD will fall on them

I really like Calvin bassey he reminds me if a young stronger Taribo west . Future captain of the super eagles

honestly I don’t trust caf at all. Let’s get a written and signed confirmation letter from FIFA organization please before making any decision

We shouldn't fall into any such trap.

If the lifting of the suspension is true, then it's a point of contention because rules were made since. Cards is carried to next stage except the tournament proper.

On a second thought, I want to believe Nigeria just want to deliberately confuse Congo DR into believing Ndidi will play.

mostob:
Me.. I no wan hear story

Love this

Sometimes I wonder how you guys think? Those that were copied has already issued a statement yet you wrote an epistle to FIFA to do what?
lol ...
If you see Ndidi on the team list go pursue am. Yeye!

African football has not gotten that bad.
For example the South African referee stood firm against that penalty call against us

Another interesting quote "when given the opportunity we sometimes fumbles" why do we tend to perform using a fire brigade approach this have been a cultural things for us in Nigeria. Why do we thrive in chaos?

That's more like an attitude thing, according to a Prof of sociology what we need as a country is to transform the way we think and see things, and rightly so,

Cos when we see opportunities we tend to relax and fumble, but in chaos you will see genius professing tangible solutions,

It is what it is sir, and the NFF of time pass had embodied the fire brigade approach more than slow and steady built-up, And that's why after every major tournament wins, we find ourselves fumbling the next

Those who made these rules said he can play. Who is anybody to say no? lol!
The yellow card during the real qualifiers will be carried over into the 4 nations tourney.
If the player had received a 2 yellow maybe against Benin then he would have missed the first match of the 4 nation tourney.
But the yellow card received during the 4 nations tourney does not count. Simple!

Ok.

Typical Nigerian mentality: believing that anything produced abroad is automatically better than what you build at home.

Let’s be honest: after all these years of gathering “ready-made” players trained in Europe, how far has Nigeria actually gone in the World Cup?
Nowhere near where they claim to be.

If African football is ever going to rise, it has to be built locally — with strong leagues, real academies, and homegrown development.
Relying on players formed abroad is a shortcut that leads nowhere. You won’t win a World Cup with borrowed talent.

Abeg anyone know where I can re watch the Nigeria vs Gabon Match? Na so so PES simulation and Watch along full Youtube

😂😂😂😂 Una too dey panic ooooo. Make Una relax. Ndidi is eligible to play.

There's no scoreline that puts pressure on me like 1-0. I even prefer it when it's 0-0 but you see that 1-0, it cooks my soul.

And yet Morocco are dominating the African continent with foreign born players. Make una rest abeg. Lol.

Developing local leagues is important, but having talents who excel in diaspora has the EXACT same importance. Neither is more important than the other. If you can combine the two, then even better.

Like I said before, you go explain tire.

BankyGee:
I swear, everybody just dey praise Benjamin leave Bassey (wait o! The B-square Wall sounds nice for the both of them 😁)...

Omo, Bassey is so strong! While Benjamin is the calm and composed defender, Basset is the rugged and strong one that sends opposition attackers flying, and he uses his body intelligently. How he grew so fast into a leader at the back is so inspiring and sweet. My innit boy 🔥

walai their combo dey remind me of saliba and Gabriel

One cool and one hot head

But the cool guy takes all the hype meanwhile the hot head has improved his game too

Lol ….ever since I av been supporting eagles ,I av never rewatched eagles match b4 but u can try fifa plus

I wrote this in another thread. It seems many people think DRC have the edge over us when it comes to H2H. That's actually not true.
