Just two 90 minutes and we are off to the 2026 World Cup!

Give us this day O' Lord!

I feel it could be like Nigeria vs Benin's game!

The DRC gave the Cameroonians a lot of chances to score.
Also, the DRC keeper is not that good!

They won't survive Akor and Osimhen!

Our defence will easily cope with their attack.

Ajayi comes in for Osayi and Federick mans the right side and we are set.

i know we have seen report making rounds that he has been cleared to play….i just wish he can sit out this one oo…
We will be more vulnerable if he doesn't play, except the coach makes adequate compensation.
Ndidi is very good.

We haven't lost to a nation below tier 1 in African football during a crucial knockout stage since the 80s (possibly longer). These are the teams that have beat us in a knockout stage:

1984 - Cameroon
1988 - Cameroon
1990 - Algeria
1992 - Ghana
2000 - Cameroon
2002 - Senegal
2004 - Tunisia
2006 - Ivory Coast
2008 - Ghana
2010 - Ghana
2019 - Algeria
2021 - Tunisia
2023 - Ivory Coast

All of these teams are definitely tier 1 African teams.

When we do face teams lesser than tier 1 in do or die games, we must prevail.

Two examples: 1994 AFCON where we beat Zambia and 2013 AFCON where we beat Burkina Faso.

Abeg make una avoid that Minister for Natural Resources.

Let's concentrate on the task ahead. Meanwhile, I saw thr team walk video and Nwabali seems to be ok.
being able to Walk does not necessarily mean he's match fit
Just saying.

Drc undoing is that Nigeria actually rates them, if they were total underdogs I would have been worried. If they were a top North African team I would be scared, if they were out of form rivals like Ghana, Cameroon I would be scared.

But DRC No na, only total complacency or extremely terrible luck will make us not win today.

On match day, it's best to stay on this thread and YouTube than on X.

On X, the ignorance of the average Nigerian fan is shocking. You'd see people who have not followed the SE for years making stupid comments. You go just weak.


And then again how is it possible to be an avid club fan but feel nothing for the SE?

See this post 👇👇. See this person mentioning Tosin Adarabioyo instead of Semi. They don't even know our players.
I hate X on matchdays. Whether we win or draw or lose, you must see stupid annoying comments from people that don't know anything about football or the Super Eagles.

QueenJazz:
Lol. Normally X is for post-match banter and tomfoolery. 😂

For analysis and reasoned predictions, I rely on Nairaland SE thread and few choice channels on YouTube like EaglesTracker and Football Fans Tribe.

Even this Nairaland, the only place with intelligent contributors is on this thread. If you go to other threads and see the rubbish they write, you'll just weak.
God bless you. For the first time in months, I went to the frontpage, saw the thread for today's game, some comments wey I dey see, I just run comot.

Another Permutations for today 🤣🤣 ladies and gentlemen
1. Nigeria 🇳🇬 should plsss win DRC oo😭
2. Panama 🇵🇦 should pls win and leave that play off zone, they look like a threat in the intercontinental playoff
3. UAE should try and win oo, they are more of a minnow than Iraq, make dem just shock Iraq
4. Jamaica should pls beat Curacao 🇨🇼 and qualify straight to the worldcup , Jamaica in the playoff is also a threat,

i will be licking my lips 😋 if Nigeria wins DRC hopefully today and i see playoff teams as follows
UAE
Curacao
Bolivia
New Caledonia

Minus the 2 nullified games from each and you have your answer.

2017 June 1 friendly vs Togo.
2017 November 10 WCQs vs Algeria.

Also, read about the Ahmed Musa initial 100 caps confusion in September 2021.
Thanks, so 68 for Ndidi and 88 for Iwobi. My general statement still holds, there hasn’t been a striker of that longevity.

Many are calling for Ndidi to be dropped, the same for Nwabali.
I pity these people.
