DR Congo are very rugged at the back. Infact from their central midfield to the back 4 are quality. They have good tacklers and are doing remarkably well of recent despite Yoanne wissa a key striker laid off due to injury

DR congo players will be playing every match like they possessed,remember they were promised $1million per player if they can get the world cup ticket. Their players will be playing the game like hungry lions but we just have to be on our A-game.
The rumors was everywhere truly,
But,
The news is False.....

The claim that the DR Congo national team players were promised a $1 million bonus each is false; the Congolese Football Association (FECOFA) has officially denied the report. The false report originated from social media speculation, not from an official government or federation announcement.

Official Denial: FECOFA released a statement refuting the claim, calling it false and unfounded, and asked the public to disregard it and rely on official sources for information.
Source of Rumor:
The rumor seems to have been started on social media platforms, with no official government or federation backing.

Let them play like hungry lions till they all get red card because that's the feature of a hungry lion.

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
We played them six times, we won four , lost once and drew one.

They need our supports now, not name calling. What do you want to achieve from your mischievous name calling. These boys are better than you in all ramifications. They need our support and respect.

I think you mods on Nairaland, even Seun need to step up. I posted the image I attached with this message earlier on this topic, and the message was deleted and my account suspended.

I want to know what is wrong with the message if there is any. You guys need to improve on researching. I stand by the post and I challenge anyone to prove me wrong!

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.
They played them in Algiers 90 nations cup and goals by Rashed Yekinn buried their dream. They know that Nigeria is a dream whenever they meet us. They can not stop us tomorrow IJN.

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.
ok..me didn't check that far thanks...my mind don come down small now

After this match, the winner will still go and play another playoff match...

Which kind nonsense be that...

If the Super Eagles had planned properly, they would not be in this mess
Honestly it's rubbish that carry nonsense follow body. After the World Cup we will drag FIFA to the very last to remove that iron fist experiment playing continental play-off nonsense.
