Chukwueze has to start against South Africa especially in the CAM role he played against Jamaica where he shined, if there's one player that always plays his best against South Africa, it's Chukwueze.

Chukwueze is an inconsistent mixed bag. You never know which version of him will show up so you just pray. His performance at the AFCON final still pissess me off.

Congrat to the boys. One game at a time. Even if they manage to win all remaining games but dont qualify OR move on to next round, they would've earned my respect. Next game with SA, everyone must go for broke. Bodies on the line. Sacrifice everything. Leave it all out on the field.

Not watching the game. Are these guys in any position to score another goal?

Karlovych:
Calling up poor players like Taminu, Sodiq and Iheanacho in the early stages of the qualifying games led to this, now almost everyone is a mathematician.

Forget about the math cause even if we win all of our remaining encounters, theres no guarantee that we finish among the best 2nd place teams. It's over.

Maladaise:
Take a look at the table with 3 full games to go. Gabon is likely going to finish second from their group and they already have 18 points! That is with 3 games left to play. Look at Cameroon's group. Cameroon, at second, already has 15 points with three games to play.

No second place team from Nigeria's group will get to the World Cup. Take that to the bank. It isnt happening. Moreover, let me add -- there will be multiple second placed teams that will finish no less than the 19 points that Nigeria cannot overcome even if Nigeria wins the group. The only route is to win the group and win by huge margins. South Africa already understands this and their agenda is to run up scores making South Africa v Nigeria + forfeiture forced by FIFA irrelevant. Our only path is to run up scores BIG!!

What this means is that Nigeria must win her remaining games with nothing less than 3 goals, starting from tomorrow...if it means packing the bus and scoring those goals on the counter with 25% possession, so be it.

Thank you for this. What scares me most is that I highly doubt the NFF is communicating the same urgency indicated in this post to the players. We truly bleeped up.

mrwilliams9:
Unless SA is deducted 3pts, SE are not qualifying for the WC. We should just focus on winning this upcoming AFCON

They should aim to be one of the best 2nd place teams at this point. NFF phucked around with managerial selection in the beginning and is now finding out

See the hole NFF dug themselves into. Yikes lol.

There was honor in these roles back then. What happened to this country?

9JAMac10:
Instead of Nigerians to focus on the double header games ahead. We discussing fifa deduction of points from South Africa. Super eagles fans look before you leap. Wishing our boys maximum points in their matches this week

It's about equal application of the law. We were penalized for the same thing after 2018 qualifiers. We qualified with a game to spare so it didn't affect our qualification. FIFA should hold the same line this time around

He should be thankful that he found another team in a top 5 league.

Is there anyway Lookman can rejoin Atalanta first team?

Congratulations to Chuks, Boni, Tolu and Uche. Great moves all around! Also lovely to see our EPL contingent expand. I pray for Lookman - this too shall pass.

See big bakasi in blue dress?!?! Abeg who is she?? Does she have insta?

mostob:
Fabrizio na big fuuuuuu

This is why Nigerian players need to be careful with their social media engagement. Fabrizio does not understand Pidgin.

This South Africa encounter will be the most important match we've had in 10 years. Osimhen cannot miss two straight world cups!

Seems like 100k wasn't enough to motivate the boys against Senegal

I recall a moniker on here stating that this might be the worst transfer window in Nigerian history. Seems like Tolu and Vic Boniface are saving the day.

Our boys got the easier side of the bracket

These are the things they focus on?? How about growing some balls to argue against the price fixing of raw materials on the continent by Europeans powers?

Chimaev absolutely wiped the floor with Du Plessis

Congrats to D'Tigers on their huge victory against Tunisia, back to back defending Champs. It seems that our basketball program has whipped themselves back into shape after a tumultuous Olympics in France. I recall that there was even a fight between different coaches of the women's team and it involved control of a social media account, etc.,

My eyes are on Angola though - they experiencing a resurgence.

You were so quick to create a sensationalized title that you couldn't even care to write a proper one. Very poor blogging.

Tinubu should arrange 100k and a plot of land for the family as well

Good. We need sheikhs and emirs in the Southeast! Their guidance is sorely needed.

If we want to improve the NPFL, submitting a bid for AFCON wold be a great step. This will force us to renovate/build new stadia, adopt modern technologies and lay the foundational infrastructure needed for the domestic clubs. After the tournament, the new/refurbished stadia won't go to waste as the clubs will occupy them.

comodo:
Remove whites grip on SA economy and see d country turn to Haiti in 2 years.
Black SA alone will turn the place to ruins just like Ngr.

So whites control North Africa too ehn?

opes:
I think his statement was twisted, what he said ain't bad

"They played well"

Joebie:
Very unprofessional of Appiah to diss his colleague. Na because na fellow African abi?

It is banter lol. Chelle will be fine

Good. It's time those folks take helm and lead the nation. They are the most civilized after all.

Is that Osimhen in the thumbnail?

lloydtruth:
Questions we need to ask:
How did Eric Chelle get appointed as the Super Eagles coach?
What was his record?
How does he choose his players?

At this rate, I think we should kiss the world cup goodbye and it's going to be a woeful performance at the next AFCON

Sack Eric Chelles now.

Are you going to use those useless home based players as a yardstick? I knew this was going to happen

Good. Hopefully they can free Chelle of these CHAN Eagles so he can solely focus on the first team.
