Good! its better for the team. Raphael Oyedika and Frank Oyeka combo in the midfield are unstoppable. But of course, the big boys always want to start match.

It might not be an easy one just as against Gabon this is play off always tough CONMEBOL even UEFA
If the boys with the same moral and changes the the midfield super eagles will qualify either by draw

I wonder why players remove shirt after scoring a goal

Makes no sense at all

The only time a player should do that is if it’s the last game of the competition and the player scores the last minute goal
Very needless card

OSI did that after wasting a clear chance to score during the normal playing time. I fault his removal of shirt ,because it was not a winning goal. So no need for adrenaline rush.

Coach Chelle still dey learn coach job.
The super eagles midfield is not a perfect one but mismatch Ndidi is weak Iwobi isn't fit to that CM position he almost cost us the last match and previous one e could barely make 3 out of 10 clear passes. The same tackle Ndidi went for and received yellow card under 10minute into the game, Frank oyedika under same 10minute was introduced intercepted a player but never got penalised by the referee despite super eagles under pressure just to get a goal during match lost time .Oyedika should be our key no10. He's the heartbeat of club Bruge midfield what audacity they had to drew Barca 3-3 last champions League game. The team needs a player who can move the ball upfront creat chances and lay good passes while Oyaeka CDM plays behind him and do the dirty job just as Pedri with De Jong . Super eagles attack is good to go the defence is solid the goal man is at alert. We can face Portugal at the world cup with this play formation the least outcome would be a draw
Up CHELSEA....
Are you sure you watch that match very well. Ndidi was actually one of our best player on the day

Op, I am not understanding your head to head here. Congo DR used to be known as Zaire before. And Super Eagles played Zaire at the quarter final of Tunisia 94 nations cup and won. But I didn't see it there. For avoidance of doubt. Congo DR qualified for their first and only world cup in 1974 known as Zaire.
You can check and correct your post.
And also in their star players, you failed to list Cedric Bakambu, their star striker.

Congo can not stop Nigeria from featuring in the World cup.
Nigerians are good to go
Not Congo but DR Congo. Congo didn't qualify as they were last in group E, while DR Congo were in Group B and runners up.

Omo...this congo guys get record for our head ooo...

They have won us 3 times we won them 2 times and 1 draw in the last 6 games
There's a mistake from the Op, we won them at Tunisia 94 nations cup quarter final. Then they were known as Zaire. The op didn't list that, and I am sure we have played them other times as Zaire and won

Out of six meetings this guys don flog Super Eagles 3 times....that's not a good sign ☢️
Big red flag 🛑 but nonetheless we will defeat them, Congo will be walloped tomorrow night in Rabat.
I doubt that stats. It was after 94 nations cup that DR Congo started answering that name in tournament. They were known before as Zaire and Nigeria won Zaire at the 94 nations cup quarter final which the op didn't add there. And they may also have been some he omitted

The Super Eagles should play the game with the seriousness they displayed against Gabon in the match.

Never say never. This is football. Anything can happen. There are so many factors that can see a big team losing. Cards and injuries are part of it. Until it's done, Dr Congo should not be under rated.

With the current determination and drive by the SE, the job should be done come Sunday.

This is not to say that the DRC are pushovers given their H2H encounters against the SE.

However, records are meant to be broken!

We've got the men and materials for the job.


Go SE, go!


The "god" of football is a Nigerian!

With the quality of your midfield you can defeat those set of players I mentioned for a world cup match 100percent
Simple question a YES or NO ?

They have won us 3 times we won them 2 times and 1 draw in the last 6 games
2 out of those 3 games that DRC won happened in the 1960s when they were still called Congo Kinshasa and Nigeria wasn't a tier 1 footballing nation in Africa.

Plus, DR Congo were known as Zaire in the 1970s till the 1990s and in that period they faced us four times. We beat them each of those four times.

So technically, we've beaten them 6 times while they've beaten us 3 times. All in total.

I'm speaking for the Congolese. The cash reward is like top of the topper for them. It's like a once in a lifetime opportunity to them so they will play the game like their life depends on it. My actual point is they won't make it like a walk in a park for us.

A quick reminder Chigozie Awaziem a player who can play as Defensive midfielder even all back role position in football yet he keeps warming the bench for Eagles every match day he's one of the experienced player at the team was with super eagles 2012 played along Oboabona and omeruo the pair in defence the brought the AFCON back home in 2013 during Late Stephen Keshi reign he made one assist shortly he was introduced last match . Iwobi/Ndidi needs to be out from the starting lines up for the super eagles whenever it's match day maybe 75th minute he should be introduced as for experience.
