Gambia 3-4 Gabon 78'

Hei god. As how now 😭😭😭😭💔

Elock1:
Personally I think those players deserve more blame than we apportion them..maybe even 50%

Yes coaches have a role to play but he won't enter the pitch and kick the da*mn ball

Look at some of our draws and defeat, mostly from individual errors and even when these boys play, they don't play like big players bar osimhen and maybe Aina even Lookman has below average if you ask me.

Come on drawing to Lesotho and Zimbabwe is a big slap considering the caliber of players the super eagles have, these are games you should be winning by 2 goals atleast with or without a sound Coach

...so let's be honest these super eagles take the blame 50% or more

Exactly.

I understand that the NFF remains the root cause of our issues, but let's be honest. They've always been incompetent. Nigerian internationals have been complaining about this since time immemorial. I think even the 94 set had the same issues, yet look at what they accomplished.

The current Super Eagles simply lack the passion. And partly, I don't blame them, because who'll want to play with good mind for these criminals in the NFF? I won't be surprised if many of them enjoy playing for their European clubs more than they enjoy playing for Nigeria. But at the same time they should understand that their legacy is on the line. It will be a mighty blow if Osimhen and Lookman don't go to the World Cup in their prime.

If you want to troll, at least use your own head and come up with funny lines, instead of outsourcing your critical thinking to ChatGPT.

Bolivia, Qatar & Iraq won’t be easy sha

Especially Qatar. Those guys have been really decent of late.

To be honest, I already know Nigeria will beat Lesotho. I'm sure of that one. Whether we'll beat them convincingly is another issue, but we'll surely win.

The match with Benin is the real deal breaker.

Mujtahida:
This guy never reach 30 so?

U20 ancestor 🤣🤣🤣

yinkeys:
He ain’t gonna start
Bruno, Bassey, Benjamin, Simon

Honestly I pray he doesn't, but idk.

mekabuachi:
Semi ajayi ke?😂... Abeg bassey and Fredrick should be the center backs tomorrow
Ajayi casn come in as substitute

Funny enough, I trust Benjamin more in the right back position. Na 4-4-2 Chelle go likely play, which means there has to be a spot for Ajayi. Let's see what Eric Chelle has in mind tho.

Omo I just weak abeg. This WCQ don tire me.

See una daddy o

The scenes on this thread when Semi Ajayi starts his defensive magic tomorrow and on the 14th. 😂😂😂

I listened to Amaju pinnick on Arise News.
he's still believing that Nigeria will qualify for the World Cup.
I understand he's now the Deputy Chairman of FIFA men's competition.
If he occupy such position in FIFA seat, why will that allow South Africa to play 7 matches at home in Qualifiers.
I just believe the NFF didn't do much on that issue.
FIFA would have listened to them if they put more pressure on FIFA.

Lol. The NFF can't even put pressure on a balloon.

I still want to know how much lower we can go until we decide to do a complete blackout on Nigerian sports. Both fans and media. No more coverage of Nigerian sports. If government can't do something, surely there's something we the fans should be able to do.

Drastic times call for drastic measures. Or are we not there yet? To me we've exceeded the threshold. It's been at least a decade non-stop of absolute mediocrity and underperfomance with few flashes of brilliance in between that we can't sustain.

This is what being a Man U fan feels like.

codemaniacs:
Because u20 team is much younger than the SE.

Add Tella, Akinsamiro, Federick, Onyedika to the SE starting 11 and you will see a completely different energetic team.

Then I wonder what the SE coaching crew are waiting for.

Wait o? Where is the Abdullahi Shitu that they said is playing for Man City?

The saddest and scariest part of this whole thing is that even this U-20 team that are losing 4-0 still look more proactive, creative, slick and sharper on the ball than our senior Super Eagles that want to play on Friday.

Think about that for a second.

Karlovich:
Well Bameyi was born in January 2007, he's still eligible for the next U20 tournament.

Next year, his birth certificate will read 2009.

Charlatans. All of them.

Just how low do we have to go before we declare state of emergency on our national football? Currently the only team that's performing consistently is the women's senior and age-grade teams. The men's teams are absolutely clapped.

Back in the day, when the men's senior teams mess up, we used to look forward to the U17 and U20 because they always delivered. Now I'm not sure if they're even worse than the senior team.

Nawa. See where we went and conceded a free kick. God abeg.

Edit: Goal.

2-0

Oh well.

Ragingthunder:
Jesus we are already losing

Are we at least playing well?

Or are they using us to catch cruise?

I'm just curious, how much more do we have to take from these charlatans before we reach a state of emergency and decide to boycott Nigerian sports, or better yet, hit the streets in protest?

Is the sport sector this shambolic?

williams2326:
Wow, it's cool..it's now over..now let's face other issues of national importance

You've had 10-11 months since the last BBN season to face "issues of national importance" before this year's own started. What did you people achieve?

Arizoner:
Can someone explain vividly how we will qualify? I'm tired of all these idle back and forth here. Its putting pressure on some people

First things first, Nigeria has to win her remaining two games against Benin and Lesotho. And with enough goals (at least 2 per game). This one is the most important. We MUST WIN BOTH GAMES.

Benin is currently topping the table. If we beat them, they drop points and we tie with them, potentially beating them on goal difference to top the table, even if they win their second game.

Meanwhile, South Africa has two games left. If we want to qualify directly, and not through the playoffs, we have to hope that South Africa doesn't win any of their next 2 games. 2 losses, 2 draws, or 1 draw and 1 loss for South Africa is enough for Nigeria to pull an upset and top the table, qualifying directly for the Mundial.

If South Africa wins one game, we have to pray they lose the second, so that we can tie with them and potentially beat them on goal difference. That way, we still qualify directly.

If South Africa gets points from BOTH of their next two games (2 wins, or 1 win and 1 draw), we have no choice but to settle for the playoffs. We won't be able to top the table, but we can finish second.

If Nigeria draws or loses ANY of the next two matches, you can take everything I just said and throw it out the window. 😂

This is the simplest explanation I can give you.

elyte89:
Everbody fit Dey eligible but u c dt bameyi ;abeg make we no c am come 2027 World Cup

By then he go dey 16 years. He still has time. 😃

TheSuperNerd:
Chaaaiiii... I will miss Sani Suleiman against Argentina oooo. Orseer Achichi or whoever will play LW gotta be ready to play proper balluuu.

Kog45:
Pls Doctor,your tactical input is needed against Argentina.Thanks TheSuperNerd.

I don't know why, but I'm oddly comfortable with the fact that there are pundits here giving valuable advice to our football teams. We don't give Nairaland enough credit. 😁

Now, if only Chelle had a correspondent here...

Odunayaw:
Trent Sodiq Arnold

Even hearing the name "Sodiq" boils my blood and gets me riled up. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Abeg sorry to anyone here whose name is Sodiq. 😅

Nigeria doesn't deserve to go to the World Cup abeg. Let's tell ourselves the truth. In fact, I hope Benin wins and secures the top spot. Nigeria isn't going to the World Cup. 🤣

If you like quote me later, but you'll just be acting foolish. The way our team is structured, we can't perform consistently. We'll have brief moments of joy, but we'll always flop when least expected. Until we sort out the virus that is NFF, nothing will change.

If a miracle happens and we go to the World Cup (we won't), the highest we'll get is 2 points (2 draws and a loss). We might win only one game if we're lucky to face a team that doesn't even know what a football is. We've seen this script play out over and over again.

Abeg make I go watch Big Brother Naija.

England for World Cup 2026. It's coming home this time. ✌🏾

realpoacher:
Then he is not serious

How do you get supply to your strikers with a lean and poor midfield?

He will learn the hard way

I want to believe that NFF is behind that list and not Chelle because what the actual hell?

mekabuachi:
Is uche injured?💀

What the hell is this rubbish? This better be a joke.

Well at least they got the 3 points

Obviously they may finish worse than the last edition with the way they're playing. My expectations for this squad have dipped drastically.
