my dear super eagles dey go World Cup

It’s done and dusted!!
Brother
Are you sure ?
Are the players hungry enough, do we have enough quality in the team ?
Can we beat Cameroun & Jamaica without Osimhen ?
That brother needs a break o
Is this coach good enough to get the tactics right ?
I just believe something in the spirit realm is shifting so that prime VO9 can play at this World Cup. We flunked multiple chances now
Couldnt beat Zimbabwe, SA, DRC in regular time
I just hope Uzbekistan & Colombia don’t embarrass us

The lethargy and slow pace of their gameplay, capped off with their r3 tarded backpassing pisses me off more than anything. Even in the Benin game, if it wasn't for Osimhen (and Chukwueze to an extent), we won't even be talking about playoffs. It was three goals he hustled that boosted our chances before Onyeka scored that final crucial goal.

Whenever they score, they sit back and start lazying about, like there's nothing at stake.

The most annoying part is that I can't really blame them. The NFF have mishandled things so poorly that these players might low-key feel like we need them more than they need us. Afterall what do we have? How many superstars can we produce from our local league? Which of our NPFL players right now can realistically walk into the Super Eagles starting 11 without a sweat?

On top of all this, the NFF doesn't accord them due respect. Of course, they'll keep playing matches like they don't give a damn.

grin Tanzania doesn't allow dual citizenship and they have 2 English-born players, if we fail to beat them the NFF should equally report them to CAF and FIFA.

In all this, I'll apportion most of the blame to the players.

We had so many lifelines during the qualifiers.

1. SA fielding an ineligible player, and the anticipated 3 points and 3 goals deduction. The team just had to win against Zimbabwe but we blew that chance.

2. Beat SA away. They couldn't do that too.

3. Win the African Play-Off qualifiers but they blew that too.

I doubt they even care as much as we the fans. do about going to the world cup.
omo they care oo, just that dem no good jare, lets tell ourselves the truth super eagles after afcon 2024 no too sabi play ball like that jare….DRC pin us to our box 18 in second half till full time extra time.

The team na off and on team jare

i will still path them on the back by saying they were tired in that game, coming off a 120mins football 3days earlier to play another 120 min football(but that excuse no gel well jare)
Drawing Zimbabwe and Lesotho at home spoilt everything, else deducting 3points from SA would have seen is through as table winners

super eagles and Ghana na same nonsense dem dey play🤣🤣…when i saw Ghana playing a draw against Chad and losing home and away to sudan at AfconQ, i just conclude say doz ones sef na eba🤣

What if the coach set them up to fail
We don’t have fantastic defenders and you still play 4 at the back or diamond formation i don’t even like
One big error and we’d concede just like the last games against SA, Lesotho, DRC and Gabon
Coach should adjust formation to hide players weakness

They let DRC control the game totally once Osimhen came off
Alex Iwobi caused the goal we conceded, I think he was tired in the game. If players are in an unsettling position the best solution was to kick the ball to throw in (break opposition momentum) rather than lose the ball when the team was off balance.
Can’t we play very well without high presser Osimhen ?
I don’t even think Akor Adams can function as a lone high pressing striker, there has to be someone with him
I don’t think Dessers would shine against rugged African teams
I haven’t seen any fantastic performance from Onuachu for Nigeria, I’d have preferred Arokodare but relégation bound Wolves need him more right now
Creative Central midfield & Defense could be the downfall of this team. No quality bench options
Cameroun & Jamaica stand in our FIFA WC ticket
We aren’t even confident of beating both to get to the mundial
I watched the highlights of the Cameroun vs DR Congo play-off semi-final game today, and I was so impressed by Cameroun.

They played with so much gusto and determination, and did not wilt at any point in the game unlike the Super Eagles On the balance of play, they were even the better team.

If FIFA rules in our favour (which I consider highly unlikely), I am not even confident we can defeat Cameroun.

FIFA seems to be in a dilemma to me. If they sanction DRC, they can expect a flurry of petitions. If they don't, everybody hires mercenaries.
That’s why fifa must act if not national team football will become somehow and begin to lose its savour do you know many Europeans are not even comfortable seeing too many players of African descent in their national side? Very soon we may begin to see moves in that area too.

FIFA National eligibility rules can’t stand on nothing and just based on passports only.

2 types of super eagles annoying game pattern in 2025
1. Scores first and relax until opponents equalizes
Nig 1-0 Zim (Nig 1-1 Zim Ft)
Nig 1- 0 Gab (Nig 1-1 Gab ft) thank for extra time
Nig 1-0 DRC (Nig 1-1 DRC ft)
Nig 1-0 Jam( Nig 2-2 Jam ft)
2. Starts poorly, then when opponents takes the lead you will now see them doing gra gra to score back
- SA 1-0 Nig (SA 1-1 Nig ft)
- Egy 1-0 Nig( equalized 1-1 we still lost the match

It seems like the only formation he's familiar with and knows how to play. I'd say that's a huge deficit to his coaching cred, to be honest. And I say this as someone who wants him to succeed with the team.

Hmmm, the mercenaries must still have ties to the countries they're switching to. But you're right.

I think allowing DRC to go through, and years later quietly strengthening the eligibility requirement when the whole furore has died down is the better option.

Correction
We beat Lesotho 2 - 1 this year
They almost equalized
You didn’t include Russia game

Poor game time management
Coach fault

The loss of Federick and Aina is a major blow difficult for me to take!

The Super Eagles has done very well in their last three games.
Demolished Benin, and Gabon respectively. Should have demolished DRC in the first half.
DRC only took over when fatigue set in. Playing 240 minutes of football in three days no be beans.

It still baffles me when peeps here says we played rubbish and doesn't deserve to be at the World Cup.

I simple don't take mofos with such opinions seriously!

Folks are just annoyed with some certain players who didn’t lived up to expectations especially the most experienced ones. Let’s be honest players like Moses simon, Iwobi, Chuks and Nididi ought to know better. If your experienced players are not up to par then what hope do we expect from anyone to put in the team. That’s how bad things are so don’t blame people that much

The law, why haven’t you put us through the technicalities of this case, Abi na only to Dey do “D law” for that Tonga coach you sabi ni 😋😋
I like to reduce legal technicalities to its most basic. The point is that if as we read Congo's law prohibits dual citizenship, fielding players with dual nationality automatically means they fielded ineligible players. I see comments online from Congolese saying what is Nigeria's concern with Congolese citizenship laws. Well we have no concern with their laws. Our only concern is whether they fielded eligible or ineligible players. Surely that is a matter that impinges on FIFA's laws.

I'm currently watching the Arab Cup final between Jordan and Morocco. Crazy goal by Morocco scored all the way from their half in the 4th minute. See intensity and drive from both the Moroccans and Jordans.

Can never be Super Chickens. Here we will be foolishly jogging and strolling like there's nothing at stake. Playing absolutely frustrating rubbish to the point where you want to snatch out your hair.
