Sccarrr:
is it a Nigerian competition?

It is funny how Nigerians love laws to be obeyed but cant obey laws. Like if we can learn to obey laws without minding who is involved, we would have grown this country. But no, court orders are abused, police abuse power, politicians behave anyhow. lol

You will be sleeping on a bike if you think anything good will come out of this .
NFF is the most embarrassing entity in this country after the police force .
You are holding onto the pillar of players ineligibility as tho , Congo hired angels to play the match and not mere under experienced and exposed players compared to super eagles who all play in big club in Europe.
It’s shameful now that you need to search for weak loopholes that are non existent


FIFA will trash this like a paper tissue , cos the case is weak and boring .

Very boring.

A Carmel stands a better chance of going through the eyes of a needle 💉 than Dr Congo escaping the FIFA sledgehammer.

It is a slam dunk for Nigeria national team the match will be forfeited 3 nil in favor of Nigeria.

I pray that Congo qualifies for the world cup. Getting Nigeria to qualify won't be a dignifying one.

so because of that FIFA's law shouldn't count for Nigeria

This reminds me of what Mikel Obi said about NFF.

Cameroon is just waiting for the Nigerian appeal to pass before it lodges its own appeal.
Have you forgotten that in those same playoffs Congo defeated Cameroon with those same players before defeating Nigeria 3 days later.
There might be a Cameroon vs Nigeria match to decide who will qualify for the playoffs.

Then there is also the matter of the group where Congo emerged 2nd from where you will find Sudan who came 3rd which will also claim that 2nd spot if Congo is disqualified because of those players.

There is also Burkina Faso in the runners up table who came 5th will also appeal if Congo is disqualified.

How FIFA wan take solve this issue? Given that the playoffs are in March and calendars for international breaks have been fixed.

Either FIFA turn a blind eye and let Congo go to the playoffs or suspend Congo and open Pandoras box.

Either way, there can be no direct qualification to the playoffs for Nigeria if Congo is suspended.

FIFA don enter better gbese

ajalawole:
let assume it was Nigeria that field player who are not qualified to play, you think DC Congo won't do same. Things like this happen in European country too and most take it CAS.

These guys just want to drag the dead carcass called the super eagles to face more embarrassments at the playoffs and then the world cup. That team is an eyesore.

This Set of NFF no dey different from people telling us you must win Abuja before you can become the President....

Argentina do'ahm carry cup, so whatsup?

The country trying to sneak in by the backdoor is the one who did not play by the rules in trying to get to her first world cup after her very first appearance 51 years ago . Now that they've been trapped by their own nationality law , they should face the imminent sanctions , no exceptions .

nothing like such.. Lodging protest has it's time limit to do so before it is statute barred if those countries didn't lodge their protest in stipulated time like Nigeria , all they can get here from FIFA is compensations for any perceived negligence from the governing body, and the bulk of the monetary compensation may be forced out of DR Congo's pocket who were the party that , in desperation employed allegedly dishonest means to get players cleared by the world football Authorities .

If wishes were horses 🤔
Esq, please what is the stipulated time for lodging of protests b4 its statute barred?

You see all these nairaland lawyers ehn😆, Dem no go kee person.You go think say them follow FIFA draft the constitution they are quoting.

NFF should free Congo abeg.

Sccarrr:
back door or front door....rules are rules.......
and if Dr congo end up going, they did so too by using the backdoor, breaking rules laid down, so I see no reason to castigate Nigeria only here🥱🥱

Which rules? FIFA cleared the players before they played the matches. That is what matters!

Nigeria is a sore loser!Dem go complain tire!

It's not the backdoor.

It's legal .

Look at similar issues with Malaysia.

I just think FIFA will fine drcongo

Aren't CAF supposed to ensure that players are eligible b4 featuring in African competitions?

Why make room for these litigations?

Lolz , they just want to siphon money in foreign currency all in the name of paying legal fees . By the time they release how much billions they spent on this matter for legal fees and other expenses , the whole nation will be shocked .

FIFA I beg turn a blind eye!
If you can do it make Nigeria no go disgrace us for world 🌎🌍 cup,help us make NIGERIA NOR SMELL THE NEXT WORLD CUP!


MAKE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE PEOPLE LAST LONGER.

Buikshit

All of you saying this is shameless, you don't even know what sports is all about. There is nothing shameless about what the nff is doing. In fact this is the best thing they have done since I started following them. Irrespective of whatever happens they have done very well. In sports you win with every means possible, every thing you can get away with you get away with it just to win. Only black people don't understand this. That is why we continue to lose at the world stage. Every other race of men understands this. The Arabs understand this and they defeat us all the time in club competitions. Even when we are better than them, they use intimidation tactics, ojoro, mago mago just to win. After the match the losers explain, the winners celebrate. South Americans, Europeans understand this too except the black man. What we belief in is juju instead of practical methods to help yourself get victory----- juju wey no dey work. The great Barcelona team of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, would regularly crowd the referee once they notice any perceived slight, to intimidate him and influence his Judgement, no matter how small. South Americans and Europeans would dive regularly in the penalty box to deceive the referee, the most successful team in the history of the champions league Real Madrid owes many of their successes to favourable calls by the referee at key moments, in the 2002 world cup Rivaldo needed to dive so that the great Brazil would defeat ordinary Turkey at the semis of the world cup, Maradona scored a goal with his hand to knock out England and he is worshipped like a God in Argentina, Suarez used his hands to stop Ghana from scoring the definite winning goal that would have sent them to the semis of the world cup, a black African player in Suarez position would have looked on foolishly as the ball wheezed into the net because he doesn't want to be seen as being shameless. Sports is the most important of the least important things. There is no morality, only laws and practical actions to ensure victory. The field is tight, intensely fought for, randomness is rife. You might be indeed better than your opponents but might be having an off day, to eliminate randomness you take advantage of any piece of advantage that has been offered you, you get away with any thing you can get away with, you profit from the carelessness and foolishness, hesitation, of your opponents whether in the field or off it. This is sports my brother, there is nothing shameless about this. All is fair in love, war, and I should add sports.

So our 12th man is now a Lawyer? We couldn't score on the pitch, now we want to score in the courtroom. From 'Super Eagles' to 'Super Advocates'. This one na 'Win by Affidavit

You are not a sore loser but you are acting like one, are you telling us you intentionally lost because you are monitoring the process from the beginning or you lost because of few players. Go and sit down (you are your international lawyer)😏
