Again the most important thing is for the boys to improve play under chelle, take chances and win. We created a lot.

7 points or 9 points, as long that 3 points is withdrawn from South Africa, our faith is in our hands.

its the last glimer of hope, but we can’t beat them to catch up with them on same points na…although football is unpredictable shaa..cos they still have this zimbabwe to play and also Rwanda, i know its a sure game for them, but football is unpredictable…but i wont advice anyone ti put their fate in eagles anymore for now till afcon

Comedic trans.

It’s high time we review this over dependence on foreign based players, it’s not working 100% for us. Zeal and commitment always comes back to hunt us. We can’t continue to see our foreign based stars struggle against home based African teams. It’s becoming a thing of mockery, something is wrong somewhere abeg

Finidi took that path, it ended in disaster.

Not once in my posts did I state that Lookman turned up today. I said blame Chelle's setup.

Osimhen didn't turn up in Lagos vs CAR. Didnt turn up vs GNB in Abuja. Didn't turn up to standards in the final vs CIV. I guess that rules him out of being WC deserving right??

I said both Osimhen and Lookman are the two I pick from this team as the players who deserve to play and show their talents at one WC at least and you attacked the comment because of Lookman and because of this game. Isn't that absolutely myopic view?

Lookman didn't turn up today but he deserves a mundial appearance as well. Simple.

Ekong and ndidi should leave this team after afcon. Their legs are gone. Players from npfl might not have the europe training in them but they would have the ion to defend the country. South Africa would soon go to the world cup with mostly home based players.

Even with 10 Osimhen. Don’t see this clowns qualifying for the World Cup next year. Can they even pickup 12 points in the next 4 games

According to FIFA's regulations, if no official protest is lodged within 24 hours of the match, the result will stand, and no disciplinary action will be taken.

In other words, if no official report was made within 24 hours after the match, South Africa would likely avoid punishment, and the result of the match would remain unchanged.

FIFA's rules emphasize the importance of timely reporting and protesting, ensuring that any issues or irregularities are addressed promptly and fairly.
TheSuperNerd(m): 8:26pm On Mar 25
You handpicked Lookman and said he is not deserving of a WC. That is what you said wrong.

Football has taught us never to use one game or isolated games to judge a player.

Overtime, Lookman has shown he merits his place as one of our best 2 players and as Africa's best.

Against Benin in Uyo for the AfconQs, with Osimhen on the bench, Lookman took on almost the entire Benin defence and scored a worldie. He went on to bag a brace in that game and Osimhen came off the bench and scored (after not playing for a long while due to the Napoli saga).

Same Lookman delivered for us at the Afcon and I saying he wasn't our best at the Afcon but certainly one of our very best at that tournament. He showed up big in our last major tournament.

Those NT showings alongside his club exploits earned him the APOTY for 2024.

So saying he doesn't deserve a WC place like Osimhen, all because of this game today is very myopic.

Depends on when Algeria reported it sha.

The 24 hour rule is on FIFA 2026 regulations. It may not have been there in 2018

Ndidi or Osayi?

I think it was Arokodare. It was an offensive pressed missed and it was crucial in the play that led to us conceding.

Emotion asides, we don’t deserve world cup based on how we are set up and played so far !

Nope not players from the NPFL.. get players from Academies..

NPFL players age cannot be verified and if the NFF was serious this is one of the things they would tackle..

They should allow chelle
The guy is not bad. If there is one thing I noticed from our games, we clearly dominated. Our strikers were wasteful and the referee didn't help matters esp the penalty call on osihmen.
However we do not deserve a world cup spot.
SA did their work and they should represent africa
Chelle is tactically sound. I don't know what some moniker as saying here. Besides I haven't seen super eagles dominate play like this
If they allow this guy to get his personnels right, we are in for a monster super eagles team.

I can't be critical of Lookman because he is adapting to a totally different role and it does not give him enough liberty to express himself offensively.

Let us give the manager some few games because it is really a tough demand on the players. He is also getting to know the players too.

Blame the coach. Why bring in another striker instead of a defender?

That coach has a penchant of losing matches at die minutes.
With Mali he lost against Ivory coast and Ghana in his manner.
Now he has conceded a goal that can hurt us in the same manner

Where did I say he is not deserving of a WC place 🙄
I said if he is deserving of a WC place then he should show it on the pitch
Because today he didn't show it
Didn't show it against Benin
Didn't show it against Lesotho
Didn't show it against Zimbabwe in the first leg
Didn't show it against South Africa
Simply show you are deserving on the pitch

I might be naive, but I don’t understand his formation, justifications for fielding Chukwueze, Moses, Lookman at the same time .. many a time the wingers even looked flustered with their positions !
