This Congo DR side feels like a slightly weaker version of Bafana Bafana. We played Bafana with an Eric Chelle side that hadn't fully gelled together and were still making silly mistakes, yet we didn't lose. I honestly don't see DR Congo beating us in regulation or even extra time. If we can't beat them, it will likely go to penalties, and then it's anybody's game. God abeg. 🤧 |

Bossoflife25:Who are the those abeg? And how credible are they? The rule was what made Ajayi to miss the Gabon's match and I think Gabon also had a player who missed out as well due to yellow card. Then suddenly, the rule has changed and Ndidi can play. That's why some of us are still cautious. Peace |

QueenJazz:I love your last sentence "you go explain tire". Nevertheless, let me explain this: Morroco was the first African team to reach the Round of 16 back in 1986 — with a squad that was almost 100% locally based. When was the last time the Nigerian league was truly showcased ? A youth growing in Nigeria has been formatted to believe that regardless of his soccer talent, he has to go abroad to join the superEagle. How ridiculous! Cameroon performed strongly in the World Cup during the 1980s with a squad made largely of local players. But starting from 1994, after following Nigeria’s model of relying almost exclusively on abroad-based players, their national team’s has looked like a shadow of what it once was on the world stage. Nigeria has nothing to show for it when it comes to its local league. Not because they lack local players, but because of this deep-rooted mentality that everything abroad is automatically better. Anyway, when you start talking about giving a chance to local soccer youth to a Nigerian , you go explain tire. |

Awaziem is very decent as a RB, but doesnt do well to support the attack. I don't mind being cautious with this. Osayi does everything but is not great at anything. Maybe because he was converted to a full back. He is naturally a winger. AndSunGorilla: |

Brazil vs Senegal is only 4mins in but already electrifying. Last time they met, Senegal hit Brazil 4-2 in 2023. Mano Menezes was Brazil's coach then. |

Joebie:The players are all Nigerians, yes. But the reality in Nigeria—and in many other African countries—is that you often have to be based abroad to get real consideration for the national team. It’s not always about talent; sometimes it reflects a deeper issue of low self-esteem and the belief that “foreign is better.” On top of that, it feels like you practically have to be white to be taken seriously as a national team coach. And the funny part is that many Africans seem perfectly fine with this mindset. |

Mujtahida:We’ve already won 2 CHAN titles with only local players, and our clubs have lifted African trophies at least 5 times since 2000. Mazembe even reached the final of the Club World Cup. So we have plenty to show for ourselves without relying on foreign-based players. The reason the Congolese national team is now full of FB players is really a reflection of a low self-esteem mentality—a belief that only players from abroad can succeed. |

TheCongo2:Oga that was nearly 40 years ago. Football and global player movement have fundamentally changed since then. This point is completely irrelevant in this day and age. Lol. When was the last time the Nigerian league was truly showcased ? A youth growing in Nigeria has been formatted to believe that regardless of his soccer talent, he has to go abroad to join the superEagle. How ridiculous!Even the greatest football nation on earth, Brazil, has been exporting almost all its top talent for the past couple of decades. Does that stop them from being a powerhouse? NO. Players must go abroad for superior coaching, infrastructure, and competition. That's just the modern reality of the global game. Cameroon performed strongly in the World Cup during the 1980s with a squad made largely of local players. But starting from 1994, after following Nigeria’s model of relying almost exclusively on abroad-based players, their national team’s has looked like a shadow of what it once was on the world stage.Now you're just being ridiculous. Cameroon's decline is mostly due to incompetent FECAFOOT management and internal squabbles. It has absolutely nothing to do with where their players ply their trade. Nigeria has nothing to show for it when it comes to its local league. Not because they lack local players, but because of this deep-rooted mentality that everything abroad is automatically better.The mentality that abroad is better exists because it is TRUE for elite football! The NPFL is trash because of corruption and poor infrastructure. That's all! You can't compare training facilities in Lagos to those in London or Madrid. Stop confusing cause and effect! Anyway, when you start talking about giving a chance to local soccer youth to a Nigerian , you go explain tire.The Nigerian youth IS getting a chance with better-run European academies where they become world-class players, not average ones. Hell, even with our local football academies here in Nigeria, which you've somehow missed in your mumu rhetoric that relying on abroad is a disadvantage Our only priority is winning, and the best talent, regardless of birthplace, achieves that. Every successful country utilizes its diaspora. You are advocating for self-sabotage and that's why you go continue to dey explain tire. |

Bro I understand you very well. We need a good league. That will add to our GDP, and we will also have more talents remain locally. As it stands our talents jet to Europe before they turn 20 from the academies. Realistically our best players are not playing in Nigeria. Also, we have more than capable local coaches if given the chance, MONEY, and time as we usually give their foreign counterparts. both truths can coexist. We need to be decolonized. That's for sure.
