It is a damn shame I had to work and miss this classic.

We were lucky there lol. This will drag to the last minute.

Currently at work in yankee. Good too see the boys are playing well.

Good luck to the fellas. Let's hope that they put this bonus spat behind and get past Gabon.

Mujtahida:
This protest dampen my morale.

Honestly bro. This couldn't have happened at a worst time. I hope it is opposition mind games cause these guys could've done the protest at anytime during the qualifiers. Doing it now is strange.

Goke7:
The boys should have waited till Afcon to try this stunt, by then they would have more supporters of this kind of prank. Doing this now does not portray us a serious nation who wants to be in the World Cup. Looking like a cover just in case we don’t qualify

You don't want them to upload stunts like this?

Pay them. It's that simple.

Forget Gabon. I honestly fear DR Congo and hope Cameroon will beat them.

Eric Chelle managed to pull this team from the catacombs of missing a 2nd straight world cup and has given us a new lease on life with this playoff route.

And the best NFF can give the team is a dilapidated hotel? I honestly hope Iwobi is joking and that the hotel itself is decent

PDPGuy:
Coincidentally, both the Super Eagles and Super Falcons could qualify for their respective WCs in the same month of March 2026….

That's if Trump doesn't split this country into 3

TheSuperNerd:
The Triple Os

Good to see these guys support each other and succeed together. Very heartwarming.

Kenneth Omeruo needs to be invited for the playoffs. These guys need a veteran with ample tournament experience to provide some mental stability.

Hmmm

Gala investment finallybpaying off. Expect this to be the biggest sale in Turkish football history. Talk about a monumental return on investment!

This Guasau presidency is perhaps the worst NFF tenure in recent memory. Constant, repeated failures and poor performances.

Osimhen's presence in a non-top 5 league hurt him here.

Are the front page mods not able to detect that this is AI slop?

Joebie:
2nd to last defender?

The last defender before the goalkeeper.

Just saw the footage of South African players giving food to locals in Abeokuta.

I trust the Southies will milk that footage

ChrisKels:
Like someone rightly said, our defensive depth is so poor. Zaidu is an average left back but he is way better than Bruno. Bruno is very poor. I have seen Agụ play, I was not impressed. I wonder why our coach doesn't want to give Torunarigha a chance in that left back.

Another very poor defender we have is Osayi Samuel. I think our coach should try talking to Kayode of Brentford.

By the way, those of you who have been following Besiktas games, how good has been Uduokhai? He would not be a bad short-term back up to Bassey.

Genuine question:

Has there ever been a moment in time where we had a balanced team? I feel like when we solve an issue at one position (e.g. the goalkeeping crisis a few years back) another one pops up.

Thank you Gala for giving Osimhen the rest needed after a grueling end to the first round of qualifiers.

I'm getting impatient. I need these playoffs to take place soon!

If you knew how the table looked like prior to the point deductions from Mokoena and the Eritrea situation, you would be stupified at the possibility of even smelling a playoff spot.

Heck, take a look at the 2nd place table on Google which doesn't account for the Eritrea point removals. Now take in how we were able to score 4 unreplied goals against a Beninoise team that had all the momentum and a chance to qualify.

This is truly a miracle.

Nigeria vs Gabon. We beat Gabon 2-0 then face off against Cameroon we beat them 3-2 extra time. Playoffs will be exhilarating and exciting. Can’t wait

I see DR Congo beating Cameroon

Let's take this one game at a time. Get through Gabon first and then worry about DRC, Cameroon and the interconfederation tournament in March

God Bless Eritrea and that moniker who pointed out Mokoena's yellow

Let's hope that both Congo DRC and Senegal win. I DO NOT want to face a nationalistic Burkina Faso. They will die on the field for Traore

We did it! We live to see another day!

Our own Remontada

One more goal guys come on!!

CapitalCee:
We need 2 more goals to eclipse Burkina Faso. Guys we can do.

Bet9ja just tweeted this in their page. Hopefully the message gets through

Benin Republic looks pretty resigned from the match. If we score one more in the early 2nd half, that should open them up.

TheLoneCitizen:
I won't be surprised if the Nigerian coaching team are not technical enough to know this.

We need to go on Twitter and get the message through!!

COOL10:
As it stands now we better allow Benin to win this match. South Africa cannot go the World Cup ahead of us.

Why not? They have played better than us. It is what it is.
