Kog45:
All we need tomorrow is calmness in the game, nothing more...

QueenJazz:
I'm starting to have mixed feelings about the upcoming game.

If we qualify, we get to go to the USA and appear on the big stage after 8 years. There's also something sentimental about returning to the country where we played our very first World Cup game. Not to mention, USA has always favored us in terms of football competitions:

1. The 1994 World Cup in USA was where we made the knockouts for the first time and almost made the quarters. We skyrocketed to the 5th best in the world after the tourney.

2. The 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics where Nigeria became the first African nation to win gold in football.

So for those reasons, it will be nice to return there. USA is almost like a second home too because of diaspora fans. There will be massive support base for us there.

But at the same time, if we don't qualify, the NFF will have nowhere to hide. Missing back to back World Cups will force all attention to fall upon the NFF. If we qualify the NFF would have hidden under the positive news to dilute and distract from the obvious problems that need to be solved in our football administration. There could be massive reforms made and we'd come back stronger. Hopefully.

So I don't know. I want us to qualify, but at the same time, if these criminals at NFF don't get a rude awakening to see how terrible they've been, they will keep using flashes of brilliance like our World Cup qualification as leverage that things are not as terrible as they are.

Long story short, whatever happens on Tuesday, I welcome it without complaints.

Mujtahida:
I like how panic has been introduced into the heart of SA fans. They are not so confident no more. Their swagger is gone. They are talking in whispers, squinting their eyes as they look at the result table with their hands on their palpitating hearts. It's good. Very good

QueenJazz:
Just went back to watch the rematch and I'm 100% sure Nwabali is fixing these games. I can almost bet my life on it.

That theory is also strengthened by the fact that he plays in South Africa. Who's to say he wasn't pleaded with to sabotage our campaign by any means?

I'm flipping serious. He must be investigated.

At this stage, I'll even prefer Harcourt in goal. At least he'll be keeping with good intentions.

Cocony:
This is not belief. This is best possible outcome.
Our surest pathway still depends on 4 other games not South Africa's game alone. The Burkina Faso vs Ethiopia, Mali vs Madagascar, and the Algeria vs Uganda games are other Variables that must go our way first as they play before us. Only then can we narrow the belief/assertion down to Rwanda winning or drawing and we getting a 2:0 win that will take us to the World Cup. The above outline is the right/correct order of belief/assertion.

BankyGee:
I will pray, I will pray, I will pray o, I will pray, if I don't pray, Ghana will make mess of me 😭

Cocony:
Stop the let's get 2 goals mantra as that depends on the outcome of the following:
Burkina Faso vs Ethiopia
Mali v Madagascar
Algeria v Uganda.
It is only if these matches end in a draw that the let's get 2 goals mantra becomes an agenda and even at that Super Eagles defence will need not to concede for the let's get 2 goals mantra to be a good option.

I repeat let's get 4 goals mantra will be the best option.

MetalJigsaw:
You dont know anyrhing .They have +5 goal GD while we have +3. We need a 3-0 to overtake them. Anything less than that we're done. Unless we get lucky to get in the playoffs.

semid4lyfe:
So if you're Rohr you'd tell your Benin Republic team to come out and play an open game away from home, and increase the risk of losing rather than play conservatively to obtain a draw, or hope to nick a goal when a draw may possibly see your team through depending on the outcome of the SA vs Rwanda game?

Make no mistake about it, Benin Republic is coming to pack the bus to frustrate us, and hope to steal a win. It's the safer option.

Expect haram ball on Tuesday.

Truidstarr:
This 3 point deduction for the Southies is exactly what I have been waiting for. They have been effing assured thru out these qualifiers (very unusual). This seed of doubt has been planted at just the right moment. They will surely bottle on of those matches.

Philosopher1979:
His using ekong in a 4 man defence is baffling and horrible. He used him against South africa and he conceded a goal. Now he is making the same mistake. Why awaziem was not invited is a mystery. Chelle should be sacked immediately after this match even if we win. I don't care anymore. We have horrible catches

yinkeys:
Which EPL game was played on Thursday
Forgotten

elyte89:
Looking at other groups, where second and third-placed teams already have 15 points or more, you can see there’s real competition. Yet, in our own group where one team even had points deducted there’s hardly any serious competition. Despite that, our so-called star-studded team is still struggling to even make the playoffs. It’s honestly an eyesore.

Goke7:
For me they are a wise nation taking advantage of their very close proximity to Europe.

We too can be wise if we can improve our administration of get 21st century soccer administrators not this analogue ones that can’t attract enough of those foreign born. Amaju pinnick as much as I don’t like him did well in attracting those good enough foreign born players

Predator87:
I hope shame continues to catch the NFF board. See what Morocco in the span of 10 years are doing. I won't be surprised if they win a world cup soon. Nigeria OTOH still asking players for bribes and using overaged players. What is Bamayi still doing in an U20 World cup? Morocco is doing well in all levels of Football while Nigeria is wombling and fumbling. Ibraim Gausau, Ibrahim Sanusi and Austin Eguaveon need to resign immediately if we are going to get out this present slump we are in now.

zuchyblink:
Ghana🇬🇭 through, Nigeria🇳🇬 out. For the third straight time the Golden Eaglets won’t be at the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

From being 5-time world champions and most successful team to missing three editions in a row. Something is seriously broken.
Shame

TheSuperNerd:
I hope Zimbabwe can draw them in their very next game even though game will be played in SA.
