We can qualify. We dragged possession with Spain in the Confed. I dare to say we were the ones that exposed the weakness in their boring tiki-tika style.

As for Brazil, we have beaten them more than they have beaten us. Only Germany has the capacity to beat us.

You have answered yourself


What has landmass got to do with the population of a country? The article was clearly referring to the population of Iceland, Jamaica etc. Even at that, the land size of Iceland is 103,000 km².

We've had our glory days but that does not mean that we are that horrible as a country when it comes to football. Interestingly, we share a similar fate as Argentina when it comes to team football. We have the qualities but playing together as a team often time seem like a Herculian task.

That said, the size of a nation does not determine whether they would win the World Cup or otherwise. Uruguay is the first country to win the World Cup in 1930, and they did so with a population of 75,000 people. Your defence might be 'well... the cup wasn't as structured as it is now' but the ready response to that is that there were far 'better' nations with a better population.

Going by your assertion, we might need to wait for China and India before we dream of winning the World Cup.

No! No!! No!!! India and China have never been as passionate about football as Nigerians are. India is crazy about Cricket, China about Kung-fu or some other martial art for beating people up.

Nigeria has always been crazy about football.

I'm happpy for Iceland and sad that Wales couldn't qualify.
Sanchez will be crying now, no UCL, no world cup him and he's not in the FIFA world best nomination.

Biafra and Catalonia are the next small nations that will qualify for the world cup.

Iceland's population is less than that of some suburbs in Lagos e.g. Ikorodu, Alimosho, Ojo.

Nigeria should have won the World Cup by now.
but more richer than whole lagos

Size does not matter as China, the country with the largest population in the world with over 1.3 billion people has not qualified for Russia 2018 while Iceland with only population of approximately 335,000 has qualified for the mundial with a 2-0 win over Kosovo.

See the list of the smallest countries (by population) that have qualified for the World in its history.

Country Estimated Population at time of World Cup Qualification
Iceland 335,000
Trinidad & Tobago 1,300,000
Northern Ireland 1,850,000
Slovenia 2,080,000
Jamaica 2,890,000
Wales 3,100,000

Congratulations to Iceland.

Sanchez is such a bad luck to both his country and club.. yet he will be forming best player
Just shut your trap. You don't watch football.

How could you call Sánchez a badluck for both club and country. A player who led his country to back-to-back Copa América trophy. A guy who once played for Ɓarcelona, and during his period there, he won countless trophies and scored many goals as well. Came to Arsenal, not trophiless either.

This your comment had already shown your hatred towards him.

Will u keep quiet there. What do u know about football that u re talking thrash. The so called sanchez will be claiming as if he's the best player in any club he goes to yet he hasn't even make any name for himself. When he was in Barcelona, how many times has he played full 90mins? Player that always come in as 2nd substitute. It was even in arsenal that he was really known cos arsenal didn't really have world class players. Yet he can't help his team to qualify for UCL. Just shut ur mouth there if u have nothing to say

No ma. Go and ask China and India why their economy is growing despite their population. Some countries in Africa are less than Lagos in population, yet they are poor.
