Egypt team B couldn't register a single goal against Angola.

Ivory Coast team B is currently losing to Gabon unless something happens in the last 30 mins.

Nigeria team B bullied and dispatched a hungry Uganda side seeking qualification without breaking a sweat.

Team B get grade. 😎

Any of the teams in F will be beaten by Nigeria if we play true to our strengths as seen vs Tunisia. But yes, Mozambique it is at the moment.

And trust me, Cameroun dont wanna meet us in the round of 16 too.

That defence will always be our Achilles heel, we work on it and only Morocco might prove to be the toughest stumbling block, Algeria or DRC is also waiting for us at the quarters I should think so Chelle should please conjure something

Actually we don't struggle with them. We just happen to run into them at the worst moments.

In the last AFCON, signs of fatigue were already showing in the team, and yet we braved it through extra time and still beat them on penalties. And that last AFCON Bafana team was arguably better than the squad they have now.

In the qualifiers, well... you and I are aware of the tomfoolery going on with NFF at the time. Plus Eric Chelle just arrived in the squad by the time the second fixture came around. He barely knew enough of our players to build a proper system like he has now.

If we meet South Africa today, that's the one game I'm confident we go load them like 5 before they inevitably reply, cos I know in true Chelle fashion, we fit concede one. 😂

Nigerian coach said he is now having headache after the Uganda game . He said headache is caused by selection challenge .What is the best line up ? For me
Adams Osihmen. Lookman
Ndidi Onyeka Iwobi
Bruno Bassey Ogbu Osayi

Onyedika is good offensively but what about ball recovery
So man wey score 2 goals in last game should sit on the bench ?

I just explained why we couldn't beat them. Plus you're looking at it only from your own side. They failed to beat us too with all their gra gra and organization, despite our terrible form.

I didn't watch the 2017 one. Was that a qualifier or a friendly? Who started that game?

Bafana is one team I'm sure we can destroy any day of the week. Especially right now, considering the current form of both teams. Freaking Zimbabwe were bullying them and almost won for Christ sake.

They even reached semi finals at the last AFCON, they defeated Morocco and Egypt, lost on penalties to South Africa in the 3rd place match.

No they didn't. The drew both and knocked Egypt out by shootout

Joebie:
As much as I would like to start Chukwueze, this formation wont be bad at all

I love this. During build up, Iwobi can drift inside just beside Lookman with Osimhen up top. Ndidi drops between the CBs while Bright and Bruno holds the width. Weldone Prof.. Very good lineup.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 9:47pm On Dec 31, 2025

You are right about our defence. But if we stay compact in every transition phase, going high intensity pressure as we executed flawlessly for 75-79mins vs a solid Tunisian side then the KOs games will be a blitzkrieg for us against anyone.
