Again Nigeria is as talented as any of the top teams..

Our problem is hardwork, if this player work hard for themselves they win edge most teams.

It is still a shame we are trying to qualify through play offs. Come to think if there was no point deductions among the runner ups from the respective groups. Bro it is a shame. Even people when no be Nigerians know this.

because our last place is stronger than many peoples last place team, it’s embarrassing we allow South Africans beat us to first but let’s rest that talk of deductions, it’s the rules of the game, another day we might be affected, there is no shame, we qualify fairly base on the rules.

What’s shameful is NFF allowing South African play 7 games at home, and owing the boys…

I'm not comfortable with this lineup and formation.

No Onyeka so this is not correct.

Starting XI: Nwabali - Bruno, Bassey, Ajayi, Osayi - Ndidi, Onyeka, Iwobi - Lookman - Akor, Osimhen.

A double pivot is in place and a 3man midfield but not a 3 man central backline which is what I would have preferred.

Frank Onyeka in a double pivot with Wilfred Ndidi and probably with licence to also bomb forward.

2 man attack of Akor and Osimhen. Lookman playing close to them and Iwobi to act as the linkman between midfield and attack.

Hmmm... on paper seems to me like a 4-3-1-2 but it could vary in interpretation when executed.

Naija born Uche Ikpeazu scores for Uganda.

The team list get as e be

It looks like a 4-4-2 with Iwobi playing Chuks's free role...

Anyway, the addition of Onyeka is a big boost...it brings more stability to our midfield
