This move was wrong from Day 1

It will really bring down his market value. Wolves was a wrong choice abeg

Imagination wan finish person 😂😂

My sister... If wishes were horses. Chai... Calculator republic

If FIFA collects three points from South Africa;
Rwanda v Benin will be a do or die affair
Rwanda v South Africa will be crazy
Nigeria v Benin will be like a cup final

Nomyth:
I just read from a Zimbabwean newspaper now that Zimbabwe has moved the match to Botswana.

This better be true.

Funny enough, all our national teams except the U23 will be engaged this ember season.

Super Eagles in October and December (WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS and AFCON)
Super Falcons in October (WAFCON qualification against Benin)
U20 Flying eagles in September and October play the U20 FIFA World cup in Chile
U17 Golden eaglets WAFU B Zonal qualifiers in September
U20 Falconets engage Rwanda this weekend and next week in U20 FIFA Women World cup qualifiers in Poland
U17 Flamingoes qualified for U17 FIFA Women world cup in Morocco

Its a loaded season of football incase the Super Eagles break our hearts.

TheSuperNerd:
Nice one my good man. Next up is the boys arriving in CIV for the Wafu B U17 Afcon Qualifiers. We play on the 24th and 27th vs Benin and Burkina Faso respectively.

Here we go!

Hope Manu Garba and his wards don't make the same mistakes they made last year.

Manu Garba and his eaglets for WAFU B cup qualifiers

Whatever NFF does, don't sack Chelle. He is not the cause of our problems

TheSuperNerd:
Note: The Official 21 will be unveiled on friday, Sept 19th. I dont know what other changes would be made but I hope we can get in Hafiz of Reims and maybe 2 other top lads to replace some I dont even recognise on this list.


21-Man list FLYING EAGLES FOR CHILE 2025:

This is a completely new list aside the boys who played the u20 AFCON. Only Harcourt, Abubakar, Okoro, Bameyi, Maigana, Arierhi, Ayuma were retained. Wow....

But really I feel for Jeptha Clinton, Bidemi Amole and the most shocking Divine Olise. After all the times they spent with the U20s. I hope they still make it the SE one day.

junnyjake:
With Aina's unavailability, which other RB do we have asides Osayi?

Sadiq Ismail
Tanimu

Nigeria vs Venezuela friendly in Houston Texas on November 14. Venezuela failed to qualify for 20206 World cup

Jay Jay Okocha contesting for NFF chairmanship is a welcome idea. Let those who know the sport govern it biko. I don tire.

QueenJazz:
When the best result of your coordinated and developed squad is a single, hard-fought tie against a team that is at their worst, you're not even qualified to make judgements about othera because you lack the pedigree. 🤧

You’re celebrating a draw like it's a major trophy -- symptom of a nation whose footballing standards are lower than a snake’s belly.
You want to talk about our "poor, disorganized, and underdeveloped leagues"? You’re absolutely right. It's a beautiful mess, true. But our "roaming street pigs" are the ones dominating the world, playing in top leagues and winning the biggest trophies in Europe, while your "well-groomed" pigs are still playing in a league where one team has won seven consecutive titles since 2017.

The beauty of your pathetic cackling and ramblings is that we already have the personnel. What we simply lack is structure. Who are your top ten players? Where do they rank globally? When was the last time a South African player won APOTY. Has that ever even happened? 🤔🤔🤔

You can sit there with your "FIFA participation award" and pat yourself on the back for finally making it to the big leagues. Your World Cup trip is a consolation prize, a vacation to the USA for finally being able to tie with a disheveled and distracted Nigeria. We, on the other hand, are laughing, because we know that no matter what you build, no matter how much you develop, the day you meet us on the pitch, all your plans will go out the window, and you'll be left with nothing but an empty stat sheet and a handful of excuses. 😭😭😭😭😭

Long live the Queen.
Beautiful write-up. You got me gigling

mrwilliams9:
I like this train of thinking. We need to start deploying the youth that are hungry to perform.

Lets observe talented boys from our Flying Eagles and Golden Eaglets and quickly begin to integrate them into the SE

mekabuachi:
Can cbssport mind there business 😂
Who invite them into this matter now😏

What are they saying?

minfelix:
Fifa will most likely follow the format of deducting points from all second place teams….there is nothing new they will bring…..

Gambia vs Gabon
Gabon vs Burundi

Mauritius vs Cameroon
Cameroon vs Angola

Togo vs Drc
Drc vs Sudan

Comoros vs Madagascar
Mali vs Madagascar

one of this guys will bottle up things, i smell Madagascar or DRC….our 17 point will get us into play off…make ppl just dey watch

We really need to win our games convincingly. GOD ABEG!!!

minfelix:
and its very possible…

Gambia vs Gabon
Gabon vs Burundi

Mauritius vs Cameroon
Cameroon vs Angola

Togo vs Drc
Drc vs Sudan

Comoros vs Madagascar
Mali vs Madagascar


these are the games that will determine wether dey remain in that top 4 second best team

Nigeria lurks behind them…if we win our 2remaining matches we should sneak into this that top 4 second best teams

Yes that is the only option we have left. Beat Lesotho away and Benin at home to sneak into second spot. Already

South Africa have 17pts +8 goals
Benin have 14pts +4 goals
Nigeria have 11pts +2 goals
Rwanda have 11pts +0 goals

October games (1st)
Lesotho vs Nigeria (We go surely beat them like 5-0)
Rwanda vs Benin (May end in a draw) TOUGH MATCH
Zimbabwe vs South Africa (South Africa to win)

Hopefully
South Africa - 20pts
Benin- 15pts
Nigeria- 14pts
Rwanda- 12pts

October games (2nd)
Nigeria v Benin (We can pip them 1-0)
South Africa v Rwanda (It may end in a draw or South Africa may lose)
Lesotho vs Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe must draw or lose this match if we much qualify as 2ND)

Hopefully
South Africa- 21pts/20pts (-3pts) = 18pts/17pts
Nigeria - 17pts
Benin- 15pts
Rwanda- 13pts/15pts

Anything can still happen. All fingers crossed till October.

mekabuachi:
Benin beating Lesotho 3-0
I no longer feel anger but shame

Chai.......Hmmmmm

At this point, Ekong should just retire. He has tried.

[quote author=Odunayaw post=136743923][/quote]No Christantus Uche, no Sam Chuks, no Tolu, no Onyeka.
Chelle is being tactical. Catch South Africa when they get tired with his joker players on the bench

Make una help me beg Nwabali so him no go chop red card today oo

Today is that day we all have been waiting for. Oh Lord, please give us this day!

mostob:
If I'm correct, RSA delayed the boys at the airport and now they're forced to train under car shade because they're not given access to the training pitch.

And NFF or whatever isn't doing anything about it.

But what really is wrong with we Africans? Oyibo man cannot try this. Na waya oooo

Wetin be this? No field to practice?

Nawa. Tomorrow's going to be a long day. Definitely not a game for the faint of heart. At this point I'm prepared for anything.

Wetin be this abeg? Na handball and counter our SE dey play? This must be a joke!

I hope Chrisantus Uche, Sam Chuks, Felix Agu, Raphael Onyedika all get playing time come Tuesday.

Please how serious is Osimhen's injury?

QueenJazz:
Abi o.

No be say when he meets South Africa now, the spirit of Onana will possess him.

😃😃😃

As it stands NOW

South Africa - 16pts
Benin- 11pts
Nigeria - 10pts
Rwanda- 8pts
Lesotho- 6pts.
Zimbabwe - 4pts

South Africa v Nigeria
Zimbabwe v Rwanda
Benin- v Lesotho

lbrichman2:
We need serious competition for Nwabali
The guy's antics can be tiring
One of our goalies needs to step up

That yellow card Nwabali collected was uncalled for and very irrelevant. Hope he won't do this in South Africa? Someone better talk sense to him ooo

Clint02:
That's it.
Their keeper denied us a lot of goals. He's the highlight of today's game, no other person comes close.

Hope the Rwandan keeper will stop South Africa when they meet in October

opes:
Nwabali just wants to be sent off in this match. What is wrong with him? All eyes should be on him

He should be warned seriously
