Those days, while watching kung-fu films. The very last fight of the movie between the boss and actor was termed the last fight.

I guess this will be the last fight for for 2026 between the 2 nations. tongue tongue tongue

Everything that APC corruption touches, rots away. The eagles and falcons are just victims. People who have never had any experience in football either as players or coaches are now the people running the game.

How, they lack a strong attack and their keeper has issues.

Apart from the keeper. ...most of the players need to be changed.

I was refering to the South African side in my write up. Their keeper is very shaky and Kgatlana is the only prolific striker they have. The girls was pretty much the only attacker creating dangerous chances.

Why are we even hoping on this team that has an exact copy of the Super Eagles playback for not qualifying for the WC.....
Me I no get time for all of them as dem don decide to join the Men team dey misbehave......
To be honest, I don't see any of the current African teams going to the WC winning any games in the group stages before they return.

Must we play it this period

Both teams are not in good frame of mind

Why cant caf organise WC qualifies separately

So Kgatlana will face Alozie on that left wing grin

Africa is going to present weaker teams in 2027

Golden Eaglets - NO U-17 AFCON and World Cup ❌
Flying Eagles - NO U-20 AFCON and World Cup ❌
Super Eagles - NO World Cup ❌
Super Falcons - Knocked out in WAFCON Quarterfinals, no Automatic World Cup qualification.❌

Which way for Nigerian football?🤔🇳🇬

The recent 4–1 defeat of the Flying Eagles by Burkina Faso in the WAFU B final capped a disastrous period for Nigerian national teams, sealing their absence from the 2027 U-20 AFCON and U-20 World Cup, compounding earlier struggles by the Super Falcons and pointing to deep structural failure within the Nigeria Football Federation.Core Institutional IssuesPoor Administration: A continuous reliance on short-term fixes and panic coaching changes rather than a long-term strategic blueprint.Neglected Grassroots: Ineffective domestic league management and poor youth structures that fail to transition raw local talent properly.Recurrent Failures: Widespread struggles across multiple age grades—including Golden Eaglets and senior teams—proving the crisis is systemic rather than isolated.Recent Tournament SetbacksFlying Eagles (U-20): Crushed 4–1 by Burkina Faso in the WAFU B final, missing the continental showpiece and the FIFA U-20 World Cup.Super Falcons: Faced early heartbreak and difficult playoff paths for major global representation following turbulent continental runs.Broader Outlook: Loss of continental dominance as West African neighbors like Burkina Faso systematically overtake Nigerian developmental setups.

Flying Eagles complete disgraceful night for Nigeria by failing to qualify for 2027 U20 AFCON
Re: Nigeria Vs S.Africa: WAFCON World Cup Playoff Qualifiers (1 -2) On 13th Aug 2026 by maryjanety90(f): 7:24am On Aug 11
🇳🇬 NIGERIAN FOOTBALL IS DROWNING!

The signs are everywhere, and at this point, we can no longer pretend everything is fine.

The Super Eagles failed to qualify for the World Cup.

The Super Falcons couldn’t defend their WAFCON title, recorded their worst-ever WAFCON finish, conceded some ridiculous goals, and missed out on automatic World Cup qualification.

The Flying Eagles were beaten twice by Burkina Faso in WAFU B. Yesterday’s humiliating 4–1 defeat means Nigeria, seven-time winners of the U-20 AFCON, will miss the next U-20 AFCON and, consequently, the U-20 World Cup.

The U-17 boys have also failed to qualify for the World Cup.

And the NPFL is not exempt. The league remains in a terrible state, with little to inspire excitement, confidence or entertainment. A new season is about to begin, yet there is still barely any anticipation around it.

This is bigger than one coach, one team or one bad result.

It is a systemic problem.

What makes it even more frustrating is that the NFF elections are coming in September, yet there is a strong feeling that the same people responsible for taking Nigerian football backwards will simply be returned to power.

How long are we going to continue like this?

Nigeria has the talent. Nigeria has the football culture. Nigeria has the resources and the passion.

What we desperately need is competent leadership, accountability, proper development structures and a genuine commitment to rebuilding the game from the grassroots to the national teams and domestic league.

Save Nigerian Football! 🇳🇬⚽

The time for excuses is over.

South Africa

We obviously have to bring our A game, there’s no margin for error, the disappointment of losing the previous game is going to probably drive us to get a positive result,”

They play beautiful football. It is quite surprising that this is their first ever WAFCON.
Those two Chawinga sisters (forwards) are technically gifted.
