Osimhen (31)
Iwobi (34)
Ndidi (33)
Bassey (30)

Lookman (32)
Chukwueze (31)
Onyeka (32)
Simon (34)
Ejuke (32)
Nwabali (33)

Some of them might still be playing actively till then.

So Winifred Ndidi and Stanley Nwabali are just 2 years older than Victor Osimhen, if I hear!

Good .... I'm over joyed indeed..

By then, I'm very sure over 90% of them won't be in the super eagles squad again.....They gambled away their chance when they had the opportunity to play in the world cup

Na only Osimhen own just dey pain me pass... I'd be pained if that dude's career should end up without him having the privilege to play at the world cup, simply because his only crime was that he featured in a super bowl squad that was filled up with mediocre players

U mean their paper ages somebody that can't play well when young wan play ball when old isn't that hilariy

So sad, they will all be irrelevant by then.
We need new breed of players.
This are old cargoes by then.
They are very unimpressive now, you now thanking of five years time.
What did Lookmam played?
See Ndidi and Iwobi blunder.
Make we rest o.

These are their ages on paper. In reality minimum of four years should be added to the listed ages excluding lukman and iwobi. By 2030, football for don run commot from their body. Na victor own dey touch my marrow. Dude might end up not featuring in a single world cup match.

They are not mediocre players. That tag is way too ruthless..
Iwobi is not mediocre. Ndidi is not mediocre. Bassey plays to his best. Ditto Nwabali. They are not mediocre. They just don't have the drive to play to their potentials while playing for Nigeria.
Can you say that the Congolese players have more individual qualities than the Eagles? I don't think so. But the Congolese showed up because they were hungry and wanted it more.
That desire pushed them to their limits..

Ronaldo is 40yrs, so they can still be very much relevant if they work hard & are determined.

IMO they should scrap all super eagles squad.


I was in awe today cause I was watching Portugal recent match highlights, deep inside I was like can super eagles ever be this good?!

40 year old men



.. dey play

I'm just imagining their real age by then

Some of them go don dey near their 40s by then

you mean elbow jabber, he's team perform well without him tho🥶

Osimhen is part of the problem. The earlier he js exited from the team the better. Why?
1. The team ia built around him and it's fuelling his ego.
2. He fails to perform at the big matches. Have we forgotten so soon how he scored one goal throughout in seven games at the last AFCON? What is the point in performing in small matches and then going AWOL in the big games
3. Always feigning injury when he is under pressure. Why was he substituted? Injury abi? Watch him appear for Galatasary next week. We need a player who is fully committed to the cause
4. Always picking quarrels with his mates. Rumours have it that was why he was substituted in the Congo DR game.

In a country of 200 million one player shouldn't be allowed to treat the team like sh*it. Not in 2025. He can't try that nonsense with a team like France or England. He will be booted out even if he is CR7 and Messi combined

Apart from Osimhen and Lookman, every single one of them should never be called up again.

Get young, hungry and serious home-based players... Train them more regularly, let them get used to playing as a team, and we are good to go.



Sadly, I know we will never do this... We will keep using politics and connection to select players rather than merit.


Naija may not see another World cup for a good while to come.

We were not serious..
Let them wait…

So painful. They'd be 'old' by then.

The golden age of Nigerian super eagles has passed.

Ok the football ages.
Now state their real ages.
You can skip those who grew up in the UK. You can't do age fraud there.

The list of them to play ar 6 and half

Third rate losers all of them. And if you think there is any form of hope in the younger eagles, perish the thought. The u-17 and u-20 eaglets and eagles didn't qualify for their own tournaments either.

Woeful failures everywhere.

A whole 9 straight slots were giving to Africa, and Nigeria and Cameron could not qualify.

No one should even talk about this team again, too shameful.

Yeye boys wey no fit codinate themselves


Honestly speaking ... It's a good one dey didn't attend make no go give Nigerians high bp with the kind nonsense wey dem dey play

Add at least five years to each player to arrive at something more truthful. It is called football age for a reason.

And we don’t have any quality youngsters right now. Most of our youngsters that are highly rated right now are playing for other countries.
Our chances in 2030 is slim

Enemy of progress, beefing someone without any explanation, go and find work to do my brother

This na football age, the bones and the muscles will not lie at the next World Cup. Better look for fresh players or the story go remain the same, at least dem don Dey blame juju now

Other stars will be discovered before then that will be hotter than Osimhen and his Co travelers
