They were banned by FIFA after beating Nigeria 100-0, our goalkeeper was seeing Lions and Snakes coming towards the goal instead of the ball.

Oga pipe it down a bit. The super eagles are not bigger than the indomitable lions of Cameroon in any aspect of football. In fact the reverse is the case.

Leave all these “new cats” that were not around when Nigeria vs Cameroon was a declaration of war. I remember when Cameroon switched sometime in the late 80s or early 90s from West Africa to Central. We chuckled then that they were running away from Nigeria, Ghana and CIV
No matter how hard you try to explain it, Cameroon is geographically recognized as a Centra African Country

It's shocking to see Italy miss the WC.
Those people are very good in penalty kicks.
Very alarming that italians wont be at the Mundial for 3 straight times in a row.

Talking of China, the only notable player i think theyve produced that I remember is a certain Dong fang Zhuo - played for man utd circa 2007, 2008

You are very right but it was Samuel Okparaji that scored the one goal, after that he died right in the field. I watched the match live.....

Super Eagles’ 🦅🇳🇬 FIFA World Cup qualifying run: 🥺

🧑🏻‍🏫 Jose Peseiro:
Nigeria 🇳🇬 1-1 Lesotho 🇱🇸
Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 1-1 Nigeria 🇳🇬

• 2 games
• 2 points

🧑🏻‍🏫 Finidi George:
Nigeria 🇳🇬 1-1 South Africa 🇿🇦
Benin Republic 🇧🇯 2-1 Nigeria 🇳🇬

• 2 games
• 1 point

🧑🏻‍🏫 Eric Chelle:
Rwanda 🇷🇼 0-2 Nigeria 🇳🇬
Nigeria 🇳🇬 1-1 Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Nigeria 🇳🇬1-0 Rwanda 🇷🇼
South Africa 🇿🇦 1-1 Nigeria 🇳🇬
Lesotho 🇱🇸 1-2 Nigeria 🇳🇬
Nigeria 🇳🇬 4-0 Benin Republic 🇧🇯

• 6 games
• 14 points

3 consecutive draws and 1 loss at the start… d@mn it!! 😱

Our foundation was terribly poor, and horrible home and away draws against Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 only made things worse for Nigeria.

Missing consecutive FIFA World Cups is a pain Nigerians 🇳🇬 won’t forget anytime soon.
