Na this mentality make us dey where we dey. Thinking that your opponent is weaker than they are.

Make all of una comot eye from South Africa joor. Those guys have topped this group. Points deduction or not, they are heading to the mundial.

Southie will flog Lesotho and they won’t lose to us.

Our only hope now is via best loser. Na Benin we suppose focus our attention on. Benin must not pick up points against Zim especially cause I no trust Lesotho.

That final game against Benin republic must not be a decider for them. If not eh go dey messy.

I never gave Ndidi a free .

Go through my earlier comments

Okay, when Iwobi was on the pitch, tell me something extra he added to the field of play

Tell me a notable significant impact he has had

Tell me (since group stages of AFCON) when Iwobi's es proved dangerous for the opposition and it led to a goal for Nigeria

Oga, when someone is the fulcrum of the teams midfield, he must be able to get blamed. It's a requirement of the job.

The truth is Iwobi is an overrated player. Same with Ndidi. Same with Moses Simon and definitely Chukwueze

Left to me, it's either these set of players should yansh down on the bench or not even get a call up again

It's called am opinion and I'm entitled to mine

Easy bro...who go come play the games.

BREAKING: LESOTHO FA DROPS PURSUIT OF MOKOENA CASE ‼️

A high-ranking source reveals that the Lesotho Football Association has decided not to pursue the case against Teboho Mokoena's two yellow cards, which led to his ineligibility for their recent match.

“ Lesotho FA will not pursue, I’m told the whole ordeal will take too much money. Especially because they have missed the 24-hour window period to file a protest So they will not protest,” said the source.


This better be a joke

Not too surprised. Lesotho and Southie na one country disguising as two.

I think FIFA may still decide to sanction them if they were informed about the suspension.

More like a fine... The way I'm seeing it

opes:


It is a gimmick. Nigeria is doing theirs too. Check it out on completesports.

Who we go believe now 😂😭

Dannyxy:
This losses and draws are psychological, and this team does not know how to win in front of their fans, they play with less pressure away and do better. We must tackle this issue going forward. I don’t feel it’s about tactics or players, and if NFF doesn’t realize this, 10 years from now, we will still struggle even if we have world best on our team with pep as our coach.

Which away games have they won in asides Rwanda?

Overrated baby cows are back to their European clubs. I told yall I never cared about their performance in Europe but for the national team. Honestly I am fixated on the Afcon in December.

chrisooblog:
Iwobi like I said before may not be world class but has been decent for the SE to at the very list deserve our respect.

dude is the highest scoring midfielder we've had in decades yet all he gets is abuse.

For the past two games neutral observer didn't fault Iwobi's contributions but you're here hyperventilating.

The day a more talented midfielder enters the SE I will be the first to say that Alex should chill on the bench until then I will appreciate what he brings to the table.

Nobody is begging for your positive opinions I'm just stating the facts as they are.

Plus your opinions have shown to be all over the place. Abi no be you dey drag Osimhen during AFCON the same guy that has been carrying the team on his back.

Yes, I dragged osimhen because he wasn't scoring which was his primary duty as a striker

If you like disagree. If you like, let my opinion be itching you. That's your problem not mine

Calvin bassey isn't world class, neither is ola aina or onyeka but they hardly put wrong foots forward

But iqobi will play nonsense and still would be untouchable. Who the Bleep is he that he cannot be criticised?

Why don't you defend moses Simon the same way? Is iwobi significantly better than moses simon? Yet mos3s simon gets criticised and you guys don't cry on my mentions like when it's iwobi

No amount of your abuse will stop me from calling out a player who should be held to a higher standard than his peers

Why don't you go on tiktok and twitter and attack those criticising iwobi there? Am I the only one critiquing him?

Iwobi is mediocre. I said it!

If nobody likes it, that's their headache and not mine

And if tomorrow osimhen plays nonsense, I will call him out. Nobody is God that we can't criticised. Even Messi got criticised by argentinw fans at some point before the world cup win

Abeg make una getat!!!

Mujtahida:

This your talk is sweet and comforting but even though, even though.

Me I don comot mind. E get wetin I dey see wey dey ginger my believe. I didn't see it yesterday. I sounded it from the first half that I was seeing draw in that match when wave after wave of our attacks were either being rebuffed or spent. I instinctively knew that a draw was in the offing.

Toh make una dey calculate dey go. I no sabi maths.

Meanwhile who see afobear?

. I the here Chale

Tchinaidi:

Easy bro...who go come play the games.

Bro, talk through, when last did iwobi come through for us when it mattered?

I prefer make we no even field any creative midfielder. Make we just field one actor man and 2 box to box guys

It's better than pretending that iwobi is creative abeg

Bro, when you out hope in these guys, they'll dash it and then later their paid actors will come here and say you shouldn't criticize them

The same iwobi is who many people on twitter and tiktok are saying shouldn't even be invited to the National team again. All I'm even saying is that the guy should sit down on the bench and let's give that midfield to hungrier guys. Him and Ndidi can't do more than they've done Iver the past years

That was how these same people compared Chukwueze to arjen robben and even shut down anyone that criticised him that year until his mediocrity became glaring

Hypocrisy stinks!!

You no go ke? See now....

Christantus Uche leads all U21s in duels won across all the European Top 5 leagues. Powerhouse!!!

I have not watched him.olay. but from what I read. Maybe he can be for our midfield what osimhen is to our attack. He should be invited and made tonokay the June friendlies.
He onyeka and akinsanmiro in midfield should pkay a complete match. Let's see what happens

If you're up in your feels that's your problem not mine.

Simon gets his fair due of criticism and praise from me but I won't act like a wicked step mother and blame him for all the ills bedeviling the team when there's lots of blame to go round.

Iwobi is not a sacred cow that thou shalt not criticize. I'm just saying he's done enough to earn some grace. Ekong messed up yesterday and Nwabali to some little extent but people are not camping on their social media pages cussing them out because of their heroics last AFCON why can't that same level of respect be given to Iwobi who's even the highest scoring midfielder in the SE currently.

Let me repeat no one is begging for your validation so rest abeg.

If NPFL clubs like, make dem dey dia dey brag on Funny must home win levels. Fifa is giving $9.5m to african clubs participating in Club World Cup.


To put that in perspective, that's like 21 different seasons of NPFL champions fee.


I hope for all it is worth, Remo Stars get really intentional with how their continental dominance is going to be this coming season. They should leave no stone unturned, especially with logistics, expecting funny North African club mindgames, etc.

Nothing should stop them from inching close to this fee.

14bn naira. Omo.

NPFL, gbera joorrr.

you're the one crying all over my mentions

coupled with a gap in your comprehension and a very parcochial and small mind

seems you have a lot of problems yourself and i can't help you

take your advice and rest please and if you see my posts, you can always without mentioning me

I sure as hell don't need validation from people with a very rustic mindset as yours

Are you saying that FIFA is still not aware of the incident?

Leaving out Uche and Onyeka for Papa abi ma mama Daniel and Aribo and the USA guy clearly sent a message in the first place.
Im not surprised at Chelle.

Someone who lost a knockout match from two goals up to lose 3-2 in minutes.

MetalJigsaw:

Omo I don’t don’t know oh. I read somewhere that it’s possible for FIFA to deduct points without a protest.

FIFA/CAF officials are all complicit in this carelessness sha. We should not be hearing stories like this in Africa.

Daninya33:
A four nations tourney is coming up in June in UK.
It comprises of Nigeria, England, Ghana and Jamaica.

Eric Chelle should do all the experiments he needs to get the best legs for the WCQ in September.

Please can you shed more light? Never heard of such tournament before.

Omo, I give myself 24 hours break for any online activity first. I don invest hope, energy, calculations, contents and emotion inside this Super Eagles qualification stuff.

1. We can't blame Éric Chelle for any wrongdoing. Yes, he played one or two players out of position but will be the one to tell them to score open net chances?

2. Lookman should more! I watched Argentina's game, four different players scored! It's not bad if you assist! Lookman is my player, he's the African Best Player, he should play like that. He had an okay game, but poor decision making from him cost us "goals", not just a goal. Where he was supposed to shoot once, he touched the ball too many times, where he was expected to run a one-two or just do a simple , he was touching the ball too much.

3. We had like 6 big chances in the match, all WASTED! Chukwueze, Osayi-Samuel, Lookman, Moses Simon, Iwobi, Ndidi... BIG CHANCES! BIG CHANCES! The one Osimhen scored was just pure fighter's instinct, not every striker will score that, no cap. He could've easy rammed his head into that crossbar. We move.

4. If we took our chances, Zimbabwe scoring one goal will not be news here, even if it was just 2–1. Our attack let us down, not Éric Chelle.

5. Chukwueze should not be invited again or he should be given a seatbelt on the bench and someone else take his place in the team.

6. The Super Eagles is my only club, but at this point, I give up on any useless World Cup dream. I'm damn disappointed. We played well, but wasting chances cost us this game, not Troost-Ekong, not Éric Chelle, not the midfielders, THE ATTACKERS! THE ATTACKERS!

7. Osayi and Ndidi that even missed chances can be forgiven because they are not strikers... All these forwards that in the next few days we'll be reporting their goals and assists here, what happened to them against freaking Zimbabwe?

8. Make Éric Chelle warn Nwabali make he stop that stupid laughter wey he dey laugh when we dey lead just 1–0, I was damn scared here ing how he laughed in the AFCON final and we lost, baba still dey do the same thing for must-win match. He's the best goalkeeper we have now and his workings are showing, but that attitude dey childish, why he no laugh again as he concede?

9. Make we just focus on AFCON abeg. This one is gone. It's f**king gone! Headache, fever and everything just hit me immediately Zimbabwe score yesterday. I'm emotionally drained from this match. I just dey offline since yesterday.

Make all of una comot eye from South Africa joor. Those guys have topped this group. Points deduction or not, they are heading to the mundial.

Southie will flog Lesotho and they won’t lose to us.

Our only hope now is via best loser. Na Benin we suppose focus our attention on. Benin must not pick up points against Zim especially cause I no trust Lesotho.

That final game against Benin republic must not be a decider for them. If not eh go dey messy.

The only thing left for the players and the coach to do is to focus on the things they can control and see how other teams fare in their respective games, which is our performance in the remaining games.

They have to be mentally prepared to actually want to win games especially the one against South Africa, take each of the remaining 4 games with 110 percent seriousness.

They've beaten us before in Uyo and I don't see a reason why beating them in their home will seem like rocket science, it ultimately comes to how seriously the players take the game.

Also the coaches and Eguavoen have to use the friendlies in June to try out fringe players they want to market and leave the qualifiers to select 23 player that can actually win you games including 2nd and 3rd choice goalkeepers who might see zero minutes.

It's a long shot but we can only control our performance in the rest of the games then let the rest play out on its own.
