I felt he could have parried the ball to the corner
That's just me though

Portugal's Final WC Squad...2026.

Damn. Quality all through. Definitely one of the Top 5 WC Favs alongside Spain, Argentina, England and France.

No Antonio Silva in defence but the CBs picked are just as good or even better based on this season.

No Junior Kroupi as rumored. Make him wait for France. No way he was gonna get in.
If they get their acts together, these guys should be winning this WC

Congrats to former NPFL Star, Papa Daniel, CM for winning the Slovenian Prva Liga title with NK Celje for 2025/26.

He played 20 league games (8 starts) for them bagging an assist.
Beautiful
Saw it on X
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 2:16pm On May 19
12 Groups A - L... 24 teams to qualify.

My Early phase Predictions.

Grp A: Morocco and Gabon

Grp B: Egypt and Angola

Grp C: CIV and Ghana (Gambia can play spoilers especially for Ghana but I still see Ghana taking it).

Grp D: Kenya (Host) and Guinea (not hating... SA should take it but I dont see them beating Guinea. They get it only if Guinea falters in the other games).

Grp E: DRC and Equatorial Guinea (Sierra Leone could surprise and Zimbabwe can be quite difficult but Eq Guinea for me).

Grp F: Burkina Faso and Benin (Mauritana & CAR can play Spoilsports though).

Grp G: Cameroon and Comoros (if Comoros slips, then Nambia, but Comoros for me).

Grp H: Uganda (Host) and Tunisia

Grp I: Algeria and Zambia

Grp J: Senegal and Mozambique (Sudan gets it if and only if Kwesi Appiah stays their coach and reincarnate that form that saw them top Ghana in the 2025 Afcon Qualifiers).

Grp K: Mali and Cape Verde

Grp L: Tanzania (Host) and Nigeria.



EOD. I would miss some ofcourse.. but that is why it is football... the beautiful game of surprises and twists (sometimes). wink

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 2:19pm On May 19
They can. Yankuba Minteh of Brighton, Musa Barrow and Adama Bojang are a decent attacking trio. But I dont see it happening. Ghana will manage to take that 2nd spot.

Nigeria
Madagascar
Tanzania
Guinea Bissau

Chelle,Osimehn,Lookman and colleagues should know that only 1team qualifies from this group since Tanzania is one of the co-host, Madagascar and Guinea Bissau have beaten us in the last 7yrs
Madagascar 2-0 Nigeria (Afcon 2019)
Nigeria 0-1 GNB (Afconq 2021 qualifiers)

Those two nations are afcon worthy nations especially Madagascar…..MAKE WE NO UNDERRATE THEM OOOOO….we must get 9points from all our home matches oooooo.

I was really praying we find ourselves in a group where none of the countries is a co-host so we can have small hope of qualifying with someone😅😅…GNB have recent afcon experiences same as Madagascar…..
Lets just continue the fine form from the last afcon and dispatch all this small small giant killers…Chelle flog Tanzania for the last afcon though it was a close win

On Paper we should qualify for this easy but we all know how Nigeria is. Will the NFF renew Chelle's contract?? His contract runs out next year yet they NFF keep playing games. When he leaves and the useless alhadjis in Abuja hire Eguavoen or Finidi una eye go clear. We need stability now more than ever. This group is exactly the kind of group that can mess us up like we saw in the WCQs.

Chelle should just ensure he gives us super eagles game we saw vs:
Benin 4:0
Gabon 4:1
Rwanda 2:0
Algeria 2:0
Uganda 3:1
Tunisia 3:2
Mozambique 4:0

These results really made me love Chelle’s style of play

I don dey put eye for that Guinea-Bissau. They're the most likely to pour sand in our garri if the NFF keep derailing our boys with their nonsense.

I believe we will qualify sha. We just need to win our home games for crying out loud.

See what Portugal's Head Coach, Roberto Martinez said on Junior Kroupi. He even told them NO.

This is a reminder to everyone that all nations dey collect their "NO" Package no matter how big. Same way Iwobi said No to England.

Super Eagles AFCON 2027 Qualifiers – Group L opponents & threats 🇳🇬

CAF draw in Cairo put Nigeria with Madagascar, Tanzania, and Guinea-Bissau. Only 1 spot is available because Tanzania qualify automatically as co-hosts.

Here’s what each team brings:

1. Madagascar
FIFA Rank: 104
Threat: Counter-attack + no fear
- Beat Nigeria 2-0 at AFCON 2019
- Quarter-finalists on their AFCON debut in 2019
- Sit deep, physical, dangerous on set pieces and transitions. They don’t get intimidated by big names.

2. Tanzania
FIFA Rank: 113
Threat: Home advantage + nothing to lose
- Co-hosts, so they’re already qualified
- Gave Nigeria a tough game at AFCON 2025, lost 2-1
- Compact, disciplined, and Dar es Salaam will be hot, hostile, and slow. They’ll use these games to build momentum for 2027.

3. Guinea-Bissau
FIFA Rank: 132
Threat: Physical block + low block specialists
- Regular AFCON participants, known for disciplined, physical style
- Frustrate you, break your rhythm, and hit on the break. They’ve made a habit of troubling Nigeria in qualifiers.

Nigeria’s edge
Higher quality on paper. Eric Chelle’s 4-4-2 diamond needs to be patient and overload central areas to break low blocks.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Amedino99(m): 5:01pm On May 19
Idk. I think we deserve more description than "higher quality on paper". We have made two consecutive afcon semi finals returning two medals. You can say something on our style of play as you have done for the others.
