Our hopes only rest on a playoff berth now. The guys need to score more goals!!!!

Congratulations to Bafana on qualifying for the world cup, their first since 2010.

Rwanda is giving Bafana so much space to play. Lets just hope for a playoff berth lol

With a Bafana victory on the horizon, our only hope is with Sudan and securing a playoff berth. We'll see of Rwanada responds but doubtful

JohnBullMySon:
Una sha dey underrate Benin. This game will be our hardest. It will be harder than SA.

Goodluck to Naija. I hope we qualify although I don't think we will. As for me my own na to enjoy the crazy thrilling end of this dramatic qualifier.

NGA vs BEN on my TV and RSA vs RWD on my laptop. I go dey watch two of them at the same time

This is honestly a healthy outlook. We can't control what Rwanda does but we can finish this qualifiers on a decent showing. Chelle did his best with the hand he was dealt. After all is said and done, there needs to be a post mortem of the NFF.

The Super Eagles need a remontada performance. I wish them well.

JohnBullMySon:
Can anyone explain why we can no longer qualify to second round?

This thing dey confuse me oh

This is Wikipedia where anyone can make edits. I presume someone made a quick judgement without considering all the permutations and calculations tomorrow cause we can still qualify based on he we fare and how the DRC result pans out.

EEGA:
To keep a clean sheet tomorrow, Onyeka starts alongside Iwobi.Ndidi drops to the bench.

Chiemela starts in the heart of defence alongside Bassey cos of the fast beninoise attack.

Akor starts in a 2-man attack alongside Osimhen cos of his trickery in the final third.

Simon and Lookman completes the attack in a diamond formation.

Bright who got the assist for our equalizer against SA starts at RB.

Skiing is no longer fast and Gernot Rohr will look to exploit this weakness.

Go!Go!!Go!!! Super Eagles.

I belive Lookman has accumulated too many yellows to play

Can Super Eagles do remontada on Tuesday??

CapitalCee:
Private individual forsaw this Play offs loophole, but our technicall team at NFF were not even aware. If you watch the Burkina match, you coould see that they have read the table and understood that they needed goals. But our own we were just jonsing against Rwanda and Lesotho. People wey we suppose thump at least 3-0 each.
Same thing happened with the double yellow card issue, the team technical crew were not even aware, until private individual fans noticed it. Honestly if we want pur football to move forward, we need to protest in the NFF office and chase away all those guys at NFF they have killed Nigeriam football completely

This thread is the only reason the Eagles have an iota of a chance at qualifying or staying alive. These NFF guys are clueless and don't give a rat's @$$

Congo and Cameroon will go for broke. It is what it is.

This is where visionless planning and poor leadership gets you.

From AFCON runners up to this.

How likely is it that Cameroon beats Angola?

Amedino99:
Scratch the theories. Lets focus on DRC. they just scored a 3rd goal

They're playing today?

elyte89:
Brethren relax ..we Dey qualify direct 😀😀😀

That's if South Africa draw or lose to Rwanda. That is no longer in our hands

Burkina has secured victory. Well, at least Madagascar lost.

I honestly do not believe the NFF have the same rich insights being displayed in this thread regarding our qualification chances. After all, it was a user here who sounded the alarm on Mokoena's ineligibility.

How frightening.

Ethiopia is useless mehn

Lmao, see how these teams score with ease against minnows

PLEASE NOTE: The point deductions ONLY take effect in the placement of the 2nd place teams. Given that we drew against Zimbabwe twice, we go in that group with 12 points. A win against Benin then puts us 15 points.

Sugarboyy:
Niger just beat Zambia from home 1 nil. Niger are now 2nd in the play off with 15 points and +1 goal difference

Our goal remains the same - defeat Benin by a margin of 3 or greater. Very tall task ahead.

If we manage to secure a spot in the playoff round, Chelle should remain. In fact, if we make it all the way to the inter confederation playoffs in March, Chelle should remain and see us through the whole process.

Tchinaidi:
If Eric Chelle can't take us to the World cup with the Qualities we have them he should be sacked.Cerezzo will do far better than this malam in the forthcoming Afcon.He knows,understands and plays our players in the right position.Austin Eguaveon is the man

You're trolling right??

Amedino99:
niger needs 3 more goals oo. Its 87 minutes.

Yeah, you're right lmao. We're still good then

Zambia equalize abeg!!!

AndSunGorilla:
Only basco's highlights are allowed here.

Cocony:
They have the Best chance to get the 4th play off ticket with a win over Ethiopia. If they beat Ethiopia by 2-0 we must beat Benin by 4-0 and overtake them on goal difference as we will end on same points for play off. This is because we cannot be absolute about Rwanda beating South Africa or holding South Africa to a draw.
Also Madagascar are not likely to beat Mali in Mali neither is Uganda likely to beat Algeria in Algeria in the last group games for the playoffs slot.

Thanks for this analysis. The boys have their work cut out for them. Victory by goal margin of 3 or more.

123jamessmith:
Our best route to qualify is the playoff. Burkina Faso is playing on Sunday. That's the game that we determine if we are going to qualify for the playoff.
I have already lost hope for qualifying by topping our group.

Really? Can you explain? What must Burkina do or not do?

I forsee Osimhen possibly injuring himself against Benin. That man will go for broke and sacrifice everything on Tuesday.

Where are our prayer Warriors? Start prayers for Eritrea point deduction

Let's suppose we don't qualify and sack Chelle - where to now? Back to square one?

We can't beat Benin by that goal margin, let alone win. What a poor performance against a tiny landlocked nation.

There we go!!
