Hope no be set up sha,,,abeg o grin

Let there be a written document/formal confirmation o, they should not rely on verbal or phone confirmation.
The NFF should consult FIFA too, officially.

And best case is to rest Ndidi, prevention is better than explanation (had I known) o, God no go shame us. Amen
I swear

Abegi .. confirm and re confirm please...
We no wan hear story o
Exactly, they should also confirm with FIFA not only CAF.

This is a FIFA organized tournament and they should be consulted first before filing Ndidi.
I am warning the NFF not to rely solely on CAF directive, FIFA interpretation of the applicable rules should be sought and clearance obtained first before playing him.

In short,to be on a safer side, the coach should not play him in today's match at all.
That Brentford guy wearing No 8 should replace him.
I don't want to hear stories after we might have defeated the Congolese that 3 points and 3 goals have awarded to them cos we filed an ineligible player.

huh

Nice development.

It's better meeting DR Congo than meeting Cameroon.

Based on past antecedents, it doesn't bode well for Nigeria.
I hoped for same thing and thank God it happened like that....... I ain't underestimating DR Congo but playing Cameroon in the final would have been more difficult.

This news scatter Twitter yesterday. Someone even suggested it's a way CAF led mostepe want to get back at us. I won't be shocked if after the game CAF decided to do us no be ojuju be this. We still need FIFA confirmation
It's safer we play without Ndidi, I don't trust anything/anybody from SA.

Not true the Congolese govt is promising and motivating their players with $1m each if they qualify that's surely going to be one hell of a match.

Fake News!

He has not been cleared. It's Ghana and South Africa laying the booby trap for Nigeria to fall in. Ndidi picked Two yellow cards and his Ban stays.

He should not be fielded. Otherwise,we shall be disqualified irrespective of the outcome of the match.

Which market? Maybe you lack comprehension skills to understand what I wrote... Even if Nigeria goes through to the intercontinental playoff would they have overcome a country like Italy or any other country that they would be playing at that stage?

As long we have a manager that NFF officials would be dictating to for team selection then we are not ready....

Take for example what I read that Osimhen was asking on the pitch against Gabon if the match would go to penalties straight after the 90 minutes or they play extra time.... That's a sign that they don't know why it's happening grin

You went into such a game without knowing the rules then what was the preparation? That means they had no game plan and you need that to excel in the world cup or to even get there. With that Nigeria doesn't deserve to be in the world cup. Why are we even playing playoff.

So na you I go ask how market? grin

I understand your pain now grin if only Ghana can beat Nigeria in our best and worst days I would've accepted your Congo-lences grin... I know that to you guys going to world cup when Nigeria is not going not minding the weak group you guys emerge from but still it must feel like you won the world cup already in your mind.... It's ok for Nigeria to be considered as the standard to beat in Africa so enjoy your cup group stage participation grin

P.S. On a personal note though, I always root for Ghana because of my in-laws from Ghana and those I met randomly here in Nigeria that had been good to me. Unlike the fake developers from Nigeria that you must have met in Ghana grin

Don't mind him jare with all the so-called churches on every street corner and our so-called men of God and prophets how can juju or voodoo that they call idol worshippers prevail over them.... Who stop Nigeria from using juju or voodoo....

That coach should be sacked for that comment because that shows we will not learn from our lackluster attitude, like their first goal that iwobi gave away from mid field when he lost the ball but couldn't chase after the player to at least disrupt his play he just casually was jogging back. But the lazy iwobi was posting tiktok video about the surrounding of the hotel there staying as if they should be playing a playoff to begin with or there are no better hotels in USA, Canada and Mexico so you see where is priorities are ... comfort and one-off bonus not being at the world cup tournament elevate himself or his country....maybe someone should show him where the soldiers battling terrorist and upholding the integrity of Nigeria are living ... because he ought to see the matches like a soldier defending his life and country.

Who will save me from sharing a country with these sets of losers and mediocre? God abeg

These crop of players and the NFF itself should be over hauled.

You guys just cannot get over Nigeria can you? Win or lose we are your headache and you're right Osimhen FC was defeated not Super Eagles of Nigeria and we haven't had a Super Eagles team for a long time just super chicken team selected based on who is willing to pay the NFF officials most from their bonuses.

Which clear penalty? I think you don't understand soccer. Just sentimental type. There was no penalty appeal because there was none.

Congo were banking on juju and they succeeded.

You no get shame that DRC won via voodoo!
