Checkwell:
But Nigeria was eliminated even before the world cup began.

We didn't go....
I think the conversation is about the team that wants to hurry up and return home so foreigners don't take their "jaabs"

Kalulu44:
So you don already believe wetin the Op talk. Na wao, una no dey even find out by una sef before una agree to things.
Turkey and Haiti are not yet eliminated kan kan. Have you guys forgotten they're still spot for 8 best losers.
All Turkey and Haiti needs to qualify is to win their last matches with better goal margin and hope other results favor them

must you display your ignorance, it's based on head to head now

dominique:
This is the current standings of 3rd best teams. Turkey and Haiti need to win their next games against the (US and Morocco respectively) by at least 4 goals to stand a chance of qualifying.

even you wey post article no understand wetin you post.
Turkey and Haiti's elimination is already confirmed. This is so cos head to head is used in this world cup before goal difference.

maigemuu:
Thank you for this. The poster no no how the qualifications work... no team is eliminated yet till all rounds of games are played. 8 best 3rd place can still qualify to make the next round of 32

ignorance with confidence

dominique:
Turkey have no one but themselves to blame for this elimination. They dominated both games with over 70% possession, generated an XG of at least 4 goals with over 10 shots on target across both games YET they could not score one goal! Paraguay went an entire half with one player out, they still couldn't take advantage of it. After all the 100 car convoy that escorted them to the airport, they're returning home empty handed. Oma se o.

So because a group was reduced to 10 makes it an easy task as if the resuced team will not regroup themselve to the new reality. So easy to blame

Naaah, dey were busy campaigning for ur beloved IRGC and Hamas victory.

Spiritmask:
Both team have been eliminated. Head to head count first before goal difference.
Paraguay and Australia won Turkey, even if Turkey win USA by 100 goals, they will end 4th on their table ie, finish below both Paraguay and Australia.
Scotland won Haiti, no matter what Haiti play against Morocco, even if they win Morocco by 100 goals and Scotland lost to Brazil, they will finish below Scotland

Very correct!! And I think FIFA spearheaded the head to head rule to reduce the chances of match fixing

Which kain attack be this one?😂😂😂😂

If Turkey is actually serious about their football, Montella should be sacked and be banned from stepping his foot into Turkey

ecolime:
I am only interested in the elimination of South Africa.

Yes, Xenophobia should be eliminated

They have not been eliminated yet, if they win third match with huge margin - they can qualify.

That mod is a very bias mod. She's part of those persons spreading misinformation on this platform with her hate towards Israel.

Some of you just love blind arguement sha,

Turkey next match is USA for godsake naa US dem go kum beat 4-0 abi, Mr make dem score well well

Haiti no see any match win ... na hot morocco den go beat, score well well.

ImoleNaija:

He never clear finished!

Ohhhhh

Korea/ 2002 Turkey was so good..... The likes of Hassan Sas, Umit Davala, Hakan Sukur were great players

dominique:
Türkiye and Haiti are the first teams to be ELIMINATED from the FIFA World Cup 2026™

Kalulu44:
So you believe what the Op said that the two teams are eliminated?

please google is your friend
turkey has been eliminated even if they level on points with australia or Paraguay in 3rd place or even if they score more goals…
Fifa has a new rule which is head to head
They’ve lost to Paraguay and Australia on head to head basis
So there’s no way they can climb over any of them to third place even if they win their last game 10-0

I will come here and mock U

Turkey hasn't been eliminated. At least not yet. The chances of their elimination is high, but it hasn't happened since they still have a chance. Same as Haiti.

maigemuu please read my comment above and see why turkey can’t make third place in their group
Instead of bluffing
Google is your friend as well

you really DLL
Turkey can’t even qualify to 3rd place based on head to head rules/basis
They can’t finish above Paraguay or australia
Since they lost to them both
So they are eliminated
Do your research before bluffing

Did you read my comment with understanding, or you just wanted to be noticed?

saintkel:
Omo turkey of all people....what happened to such national team within 2 year ...Turkey use to be one of d best in Europe those years....I can't believe dis

There was never a time Turkey was one of the best in Europe.

Simple as the below:

Has Turkey been eliminated from the World Cup 2026?

“Yes, Turkey (Türkiye) has been officially eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup after losing their first two group stage matches.Their exit was sealed following a 1-0 defeat to Paraguay. Because they also dropped their opening match to Australia, it mathematically guarantees they cannot advance to the Round of 32, regardless of the outcome of their final group game against the United States”.

See as English dey confuse and scatter your brain 🤣😂😂🤣

So sad. A country with well developed league couldn't make it through the first stage....

I know this but read the comment I replied to. He didn't know this but still said Turkey were out because the chances of they making it is not high. He was being ignorantly openly.

Turkiye is actually a useless and very disappointing team in this tournament.

Kalulu44:
Oh oh! So you know they still have chances and you already label them eliminated.
As for now, nobody has been eliminated until that last round of matches.
If it was only two teams that qualify from each group, then your assertion would have been spot on.
As far there's still a mathematical chance of them qualify, you can't say they have been eliminated.

Both teams have been eliminated. World Cup uses H2H and not goal difference. So even if they were to beat US by 20 goals, Turkiye would still finish 4th.

anonimi:
Why can’t we also eliminate the trash leaders looters who are allowed to emerge from among us into power in local, state and federal governments in the legislative and executive branches?

Why is that so hard for us?

Do you think we are just too tribalistic in using zoning and rotation to share our national cake of corruption, as explained below

Yes, we are too tribalistic and we continue to sing, Emilokan ooooooooo mucheche 😂

Kalulu44:
How so? At Op have you forgotten there's still 8 best losers spot up for grabs.
Turkey and Haiti can still qualify if they each win their last match with better goal margin and hope other results go their way.
Nobody has been eliminated yet you hear

I was coming to say this too

dominique:

So that means they aren't out yet if there still a possibility to qualify 🤷🤷🤷

Lzkdy:
The two teams are out already. Go and mark it somewhere

They aren't out yet but it's only going to be a very slim chance of them qualifying

Semaj77:

You're right then
