JohnBullMySon:
Nigerian blogs have no credibility.

Either this was mischievously twisted or outright falsehood.
I hope for Iwobi's sake and credibility that he was either grossly quoted out of context or this was just another typical case of Naija bad journalism...otherwise I'd be very worried about such statements and mentality if I were the national team manager...

When we talk ,we know what we are saying …look at the mentality of the players u want to bank on , to qualify us to the World Cup

Even if one critically look at this team,you will
Know some of these players are not even bothered or will I say destined to go to the World Cup
You've said it all, those guys don't care...the likes of Osimhen, Iwobi etc were all living their best summer lives (which is fine cause life continues with or without football) while their counterparts were busy creating their legacies at the world cup. This aloof statement by Iwobi should makesl every rational minded Nigerian fan to stop kissing the arse of these players and start asking those tough questions about the weak mentality of these players who wear the prestigious jersey...I've always maintained this present generation of players have to be phased out now and let's just restart with the younger & upcoming players waiting on the fringes to prove a point or more.

I don't like Argentina but I detest English fans even more, so this was a choice of settling for the better evil here which was Argentina.

So England actually have a better world cup head to head record.
England may look like the better team on paper, but I will trust Argentina to knock them out.
This is the end of the road for Argentina, England are primed for a world cup final, it's just their destiny right now

There must be at least one red card in this Arg vs Eng game.

Blueelf:
Sorry, is Wesley ugochukwu still eligible for us?

And if so, what are the chances he wants to represent us?
He moved to galatasaray where he will get to meet Osimhen and recognize his big influence there...so I would say the chances are higher he decides for Nigeria before the next AFCON.

Most current Eagles won’t play 2030 World Cup – Simon

"Sorry to say, about 90 or 95 per cent of the players in the current team, they’re watching. I don’t think they will play the next World Cup because the young players are coming up. Eric Chelle is building a new team, a strong team for the nation, which is really good for everyone.

“So possibly, in 2030, most of us will be supporters, supporting the mission.”

Despite accepting that he may never realise his World Cup dream as a player, Simon remains optimistic that the next generation will carry Nigeria’s hopes.
Simon 31, captain Wilfred Ndidi (29), Alex Iwobi (30) and Victor Osimhen (27), will also be in their 30s by 2030.

From this current bunch I believe Osimhen,Lookman and Iwobi will be around for 2030 to lead the next generation and provide leadership, the rest should justifiably be phased out by then.

Na dem sabi. My own is they should keep their hands off Eric Chelle since every team in Africa suddenly wants him.

Mtchewww, what am I even saying? If NFF go ahead and shit the bed by failing to renew his contract, what will my wailings amount to?

Abeg.
What if NFF shit the bed and get Pape Thiaw grin

Napoleon55:
I have not concluded anything, but you+ would conclude that Chukwueze and Akor will no longer be starting for us because of Zodak and Femi
Chukwueze isn't a starter right now until he sorts out his form and inconsistency, Akor is definitely likely a starter under Chelle...but that RW is still up for grabs so any player who impresses can take that spot.

There is difference between "to flop" and "to disappoint"
I'm not writing them off,and also won't be depending on them.

Dribbling and beating the likes of Zimbabwe, Benin and Malawi means nothing to me,if when I need you to dominate and defeat the likes of Senegal and Morocco, and you would be outplayed and be defeated.
Femi and Zadok haven't even gotten a chance to play any significant games for Nigeria yet and you've already concluded they are lightweight? I don't quite follow your logic honestly.

Joebie:
Morocco got to the SF in my books considering it is an expanded world cup and they met the strongest title contender. So no dey appease urself.Morrocco is MILES ahead of Naija. You can settle for AFCON owambe as usual
Story for the gods, nobody gives a fucck about those expanded world cup technicalities my guy. What football facts will have on record is that Morocco got to the QF (fair play to them) but they got slapped around by France and got dumped out with no shots on target till minute 86. Senegal gave France a far better game, even teams like Cape Verde and Ivory Coast would have given France a better fight. You can suck off Morocco for all you want but with all their recent successes, they will still need some more decades to catch up to Nigeria's continental and global impact in football despite our administrative woes that have stunted our football lately.

So yeah, I daresay there's no world where Morocco is MILES ahead of Naija, granted they have a more successful world cup record than us lately no doubt, but that is only where they have surpassed us in football...making world cup semi-finals and Quarter-finals are mad impressive for an African side, but at the end what separates you from the big boys are those trophies in your national cabinet and not your world cup moral victory stories.

World cup is over for every African team so everybody don humble, let them all come back and let's have fun as we prepare for the next AFCON. At least all the roasting of Nigeria has ended about us not qualifying blah blah blah...now we can all begin our different realities on the same level as we start on a clean and new slate under Eric Chelle. After all has been said and done, Nigeria is still 28 ranked in the world and now 4th in Africa despite the world cup absence, so we still get levels at least.

An African team can be leading 3-0 in the 89th minute at a major tournament and still find a way to not only bottle it but even lose...this one is no longer a mentality thing, I think we're actually cursed.

Seems only Morocco have the elite mentality all of African teams lack, crazy stuff.

This is insensitive. Everyone knows Osimhen has always had fitness struggles throughout his career.
Ok...that's the more reason we have to depend less and less on Osimhen and start urgently looking for a decent and fit enough 9 who is several years younger as well.

How many Nigeria players you know that performs at his best at the age of 35,not even the great Kanu.
Osimhen wey enjoyment dey sweet like dis no fit keep up at that age.
We just need him to win us,AFCON.
That one sef dey, I doubt the core of our mainstay players (Osimhen, Ndidi, Lookman, and Aina) will still be in peak form by 2030 sef, only Iwobi looks like he has 5-6 years of peak football to still give cause he barely get injured and seems disciplined. I hope they put their hearts and soul into this next 2 AFCONs coming up in 2027 and 2028 and win one to make up for their generational disappointments.

Sugarboyy:
That one get opportunity to qualify Nigeria, he feigned injury and left the match 🤣🤣🤣
He is busy right now going from house to house of celebrities, eating whatever they serve him. Tomorrow, one single kick, he don injure again
That one na real Seriki with him bling bling lmao, of course he has his delusional praise singers and yes-men on X that he gives money so you dare not say the truth about Osimhen. I can't question his loyalty to Nigeria cause he gives his best and it will be unfair of me to say he doesn't try...but time and time again when it came to the BIG MOMENTS where true world class players have always risen to the occasion, Osimhen has always gone into hiding...if he's not faking an early injury, he's whining, thrashing and rolling on the pitch like a crybaby while blaming his own teammates.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but Emenike, Obafemi, Ike Uche, Osaze and even Yakubu gave us more in key moments than Osimhen ever has.

All the big strikers are scoring.

Osimhen should have taken us to quarter finals at least,
I blame them for not taken all the games very seriously
He has two more chances to make up for Qatar and this one by qualifying us to 2030 and 2034, at least if my math is correct...he will be 35 in 2034 and should still be in peak form if he stays disciplined and injury free.

🎈The Belgian club is preparing a €4 million bid for the 28-year-old Nigerian winger. His Spanish club, Sevilla, is willing to cooperate with a sale due to a need for funds.
Ejuke must have the best agent in Nigeria lol, dude almost nothing yet keeps getting the best of the transfers to decent clubs.
