My brother is a member of FIFA legal team,a reputable lawyer and SAN,I discussed this with him and he said it would be hard for us to make it but if there is any loophole which can only be player eligibility especially on national switched then we are free to go...

Victor Osimhen and Benjamin Frederick must go to 2026 World cup. When Osasu Obayiuwana first reported it I knew something was cooking. And when I saw yesterday's draws with some groups with only three teams, it was a confirmation.

I noticed from Wikipedia that Wan Bissaka played friendly matches for DRC before he was cleared to start playing officially. Is that right?

elyte89:
Iwobi ,after afcon ….i suspect Ola Aina and ademola lookman too might retire after afcon


Some players won’t retire but might not be called up again after afcon , d likes of awaziem,ajayi

How you take dey see these things now oga elyte?

QueenJazz:
Were they in the preliminary list? I'll have to go check again.

Just watched their clips. I'm particularly impressed with Peter Agba. Maybe it's because I'm just hearing of dude. He seems like the type of physical player we need who doesn't hesitate to make important runs forward. Takes too many long shots though.

Yes they are there

CAF no try at all.

I noticed that since Nigeria failed to qualify for World cup, many monikers have gone on recess on this platform especially the Supernerd. AFCON is here but it seems many are not interested. Abeg guys make una no vex. I know how this world cup meant to you all. Lets move forward, hoping that the boys will redeem themselves at this AFCON.

Gracias...

Just saw this now. It seems Gusau has finally come out of hiding. What's your take on this interview?

Are these the reasons why SE could not qualify for two straight world cups?

Samu and Alex post match

See how they play well for their clubs. When it comes to NT, them go misfire. Mtccchhheeewwww.

Deltamani:
It’s surprising that no one(Technical Team) saw the potential or took the initiative to follow up.

Don't we have a good scout or something?


In fairness to the NFF, Edna had not broken into the Spotlight until she joined Granada, But again if she had been capped at the time she came out wanting to play for Nigeria. Most fans would have had an uproar but again it would have been the best way to get the players…


Once they spot the talent, cap them down as early as possible, if they hit the gear fine for us, if they don’t it’s the players own loss…

We also had Chioma Okafor during the last WAFCON but Madugu refused to cap her even for 1 minute just to captie her, giving us baseless reasons. Na we dey do ourselves my brother.

See what wikipedia had to say about Aaron Wan Bissaka

Could this be true?

Legit reports that Chelle has dropped Tolu Arokodare, Olakunle Olusegun and one other player. He is considering Blackburn Rovers' Ryan Alebiosu, FC Volendam midfielder Gibson Yah, and Pisa FC Ebenezer Akinsamiro for AFCON.

Nigeria is becoming a hated nation by even Morocco just because our Super Falcons beat them in the WAFCON finals. The laser lights and bottles thrown on the pitch just to frustrate Nigeria is making me uninterested in this AFCON.

Sarsaparilla524:
🇳🇬
Nigeria still has two possible pathways to qualify for the 2026 World Cup:

DR Congo could be disqualified if a player fails a doping test, which would allow Nigeria to advance

If DR Congo lose in the international playoff, Nigeria’s higher FIFA ranking could see them replace DR Congo.

#SuperEagles

I don't understand biko

Even Scotland has qualified for World cup...... Chai.....

Before we start 2030 qualifiers, Please NFF just work on our Super Falcons to qualify for 2027 world cup in Brazil seeing they are the ones who give us joy. Our age grade teams too like U17, U20, U23 Male and Female also needs attention.

Na this morning the players go feel the pain of not going to the world cup. My own be say don't sack Chelle.

9JAMac10:
No Osimhen no Nigeria not at all suprised they failed to win without him . Guys go ready your mind for Afcon thats it

We were dreaming of intercontinental playoffs when we were to face DRC

mostob:
Big joke

Where is Esther Okoronkwo?

jihday:
Official: Chelle goes 4-3-3, Nwabali; Frederick, Semilogo Bassey Zaidu; Ndidi Onyeka Iwobi; Chuks Lookman Osimhen

This line up can be 433, 442, 451 or 4213
Unpredictable... I love it

Meliforme:
Many are calling for Ndidi to be dropped, the same for Nwabali.
I pity these people.

Has the line up been released?

Mali will be looking at Eric Chelle and be wondering why they ever let him go.

Who else saw the big hug Iwobi gave Chelle yesterday?

Benjamin Frederick na horse. See run abeg with skill

Abeg make una beg Osimhen make him no comot jersey oo

Odunayaw:
The team didn't even look like they missed a training day

Tht first half was so sleek

Are you sure that strike was not a game plan or decoy to confuse the Gabonese?

Goke7:
To be honest I’ve not seen the eagles played such kind of accurate passes in that first half. They did nothing wrong but to score in that first half.

Chelle has finally given Amokachi and his fellow sexy and penetrating passes exponents their desires 😂

For some seconds , I thought they played like Barca. The skill and passes were so accurate at times one touch

TheSuperNerd:
Two Specially Monstrous Showings today


Wilfred Ndidi.... for sometime now, I have criticised his inclusion in the starting lineup and rightly so but today he finally showed why he belongs there. Ndidi shut me up!

He crowned an allround midfield display with a beautiful drive forward after our side put together a very nice vertical playing passing sequence (Bassey header interception ➡️ Moses Simon ➡️ Zaidu ➡️ Iwobi ➡️ Ndidi (who drives forward after shaking off a marker) ➡️ Ejuke.... just lovely passing.

Ndidi was monstrous in nearly all game facets today and at least finally realises that even if he cant shoot as often as we want him to, he can still provide final ball service.


Benjamin Frederick.... Everyone agrees this is one guy who can do no wrong in this team. He has not had a bad game since his debut for the Super Eagles in the Unity Cup.

In duels, he outduelled anyone.
In Tackles, he was smoother than anyone (Check out the tackle on Auba in the closing moments of the first half).
In Interceptions, he was colossal
In Defensive contributions, he was everywhere
In Offensive transitions, he drove the ball forward as a master libero and one of such actions brought a moment of sheer brilliance from 20 y/o Benjy Fred.... allow me break it down

He stepped forward from his defensive third centrally and challenged Aubameyang who received a pass with his back to his marker (Fred). He successfully won the duel vs legendary Aubameyang, left him on the turf, drove forward like a Franz Beckanbauer would in full libero flow, skipped past 2 markers and with brilliant pausa feints, directed his drive into the final third right half space where a Hungry Osimhen (who has missed enough chances) was waiting to pounce and redeem himself. And that he did... but all thanks to Benjamin "Beckanbauer" Frederick. A 20 y/o CB Phenomenon.

Brentford acquired has 2 young CB monsters from the 2023 U20 WC... one was Kim Ji-Soo now on loan at Kaiserlautern in the Bundesliga 2. Another was Benjamin Frederick now on loan at FCV Dender in Belgium's Jupiler Pro. Time will be kind to them, if they realise how quickly their Nigerian CB acquisition is stepping up to become Africa's next big thing in the CB role.

Benjamin "Beckanbaeur" Frederick is a world class talent. The finest jewel of the 2023 U20 Class.

Make una tell Tosin Adarabioyo say vacancy no dey again for SE. Frederick Benjamin has taken that spot

So the two Sevilla players scored today?

Wait ooo. We don't need Osayi in the last game. Semi Ajayi will be back so Fredrick will play RWB.

DrYa:
Chelle has done something in these set of super eagles..
Not only do they win, they now score plenty goals..
I was surprised to see them still pushing to score more after 4 goals..
The SE we used to know will score a goal and relax.. something has changed...

Thanks to all the players and coaching crew for putting smiles in our faces tonight.

Today I thought I was watching Barca in green during that first half. Chelle has done something. Iwobi said the players don't only play for Nigeria but for Chelle their Big brother

Mujtahida:
I call him Frank the tank

The guy try abeg

I really appreciate and applaud Chelle. He has never been afraid to add talents into his team. First it was Benjamin Frederick, then Tolu Arokodare, then Ola Olusegun, then Akor Adams and now Chidera Ejuke. He knew what he wanted and went for it.

Bring in Onyeka and Onyedika PLEASE
