🇭🇺 Willi Orban — Hungary
🇷🇸 Nikola Milenković — Serbia
🇭🇺 Milos Kerkez — Hungary

Mbeumo and szoboszlai will be missed

Naija don accept their fates,its time to move on

Just goes to show individual talent is not enough most times. Team effort is key in football.

Will the 2026 world cup spectators, participants and organizers miss them?

My opinion is YES!

grandstar:
I lost to a game against the computer about 2 hours ago.

I am still pissed. It was only Level 3

It happens sometimes especially when one has so much in one's mind or head...btw i think microsoft needs to create level 11 upward or upgrade their chess OS...i have mentees that beat level ten(10) seamlessly.
@grandstar are you on www.lichess.org and what's your rating?.



Shout-out to all chess players earning via online.

They would have just formed their own teams and play qualifiers.
Nigeria is useless, nothing is working here not even the sports

Superstar at Club level. Beginner at National level 😂😂

The NG boys think say dem dey do Finidi but laslas na dem no get WC experience.

NFF really do us bad and disappoint us

Winterhaven:

no mind am mbeumo na joke to am

Make then no worry, them go go Russia world cup

NFF should contact me if they want Nigeria to still qualify

There's different fees for 1st Round Exit.

Different to reach 3rd Place or Final.

The Super Eagles wey I dey see no fit score anyone. So I will jazz opponents to score own goals.

If you want Super Eagles to score themselves na triple the charge ooo

What makes them best?

needed

What exactly was Nigeria planning to do at the World Cup? Extremely weak team that cannot play football.

They were planning to go there and disgrace their father..

Thank God say dem nor qualify.

Na high blood pressure for kill so many people watching them play

Failures
Them go dey shine for club, come back to country dey play nonsense.

Especially that osihmen, baba go dey fly like say him be batman

Ola Aina the greatest of all time missing the world cup pain me die

We move, 2030, we shall be there in South America.

Osimhen is so unlucky with the kind of mates he is playing with i the national team. He deserves better set of players.

If they’re any best, they would have qualified..

Osimhen is overrated

Ya, Nigeria would have defeated DR. Congo if Lookman had passed the ball to Osimhen who was in a better position to score but he chose to be selfish instead........The match wouldn't have gotten to extra time/spot kicks.

Osimhen wasted like 4 clear chances before scoring that brace against Gabon. How sure are you that he would have scored that Lookman's pass?

Una country no deserve to be in the world cup

Thank gawd the boys delivered

Though this miss will somehow also affect these players careers just as fans and country are also affected.

Most of you guys love to grumble, and do nothing, am afraid, and it has been like that for decades.

If you want things to imprve, go and write a letter to your sports minister or commisioner with ideas on how to improve football, meanwhile you can organise a football team and train or get someone to train the young people on ya street.

We keep on grumbling on nairaland about how things are useless. Meanwhile, oversease, they pay heavily in tickets to watch match. That's how the big clubs in europe and the americas get enough money to not only pay their players big salaries, but to fund the youth football programmes of many of these big clubs.

Nigeria, we not get good enough youth football, we no wan pay high price for ticket, we prefer to pay large money for dstv and startimes to watch European league, who will take part of that money and use it to develop their domestic leagues and football

And then we start wondering why we are bad in football.

You can mock me now.
