Bolowolowo:
The Arabs are done

Egypt can still qualify.

edi287:

And they also have better players than we do.

na so.....who no get better players pass us? The whole world has better players than Nigeria.

If u find it hard it draw BTW been realistic and optimistic, den its not my fault


However, it's ur opinion,has no iota of effect to me,as it ends here.meanwhile, which oda title do you wish to give me aside been a pessimist. It will be highly welcomed

I think "Clown" has always been your name shaa... So that should ring a bell too...

Morocco was good but I liked their CHAN team better tbh. Maybe it had a little to do with the coaching because I have never seen Herve coach a high scoring squad.

Icon4s:


They need to wait to see the result between Saudi Arabia and Uruguay. See my analysis of their chances above.

Seen, if Saudi wins a lot of them will be hospitalized due to how hard they will need to stress themselves

elyte89:



D moment I saw if Saudi Arabia could beat Uruguay I bodad not to read d rest


Dt Saudi team can't beat Uruguay 1930" set dt won d world cup ,no b dt Saudi Arabia person dey depend favorable result on

My brother it is not likely that Saudi beats Uruguay, but the chances are still there.
Something weird can happen like Uruguay collecting an early red card and conceding an early penalty too. Just like the case of Colombia vs Japan. You never can tell.

Egypt are not out yet.

Can you compare the strength of opposition they faced?
Because them take all those OkpOTU and Osas Okoro dem shine?

I’ve been saying we need to change the format of CAF WC qualification although it has favored us sometimes. We need several preliminary rounds and a final 12 countries that would play in a mini-league format. All the rounds should be spread such that the qualification matches for the next WC begin immediately after the end of the current WC.
Africa would be better represented and a larger pool of players involved.

Modified
AFCON should be held once in every 4 years instead.

Icon79:
You can never count on the North Africans to come through for Africa. Once you get on the world stage, their feet turn to clay. Put either one of Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroun, or Senegal (take your pick) into any of these North African World Cup groups (Egypt, Morocco, or Tunisia) and we'll be talking about, at a minimum the round of 16.

Let's hope that Nigeria and Senegal makes it to the round of 16, so that we can make a case for CAP to form a separate zone for the North African countries. They haven't represented Africa well. In fact, they are wasting our slots. For instance, there's no doubt in my mind that Ghana or Cameroun would've done much better than Morocco, Egypt or Tunisia!

daveP:
in this calendar year, which African striker scored more than 20goals at church level/this last season?


We Africans are yet to decode that Europeans love to dominate the middle. Yet they've rarely built a defence than can soak in pressure like the south Americans.


African teams need a hot and big reawakening!


With what I'm seeing now, I doubt Ghana would put a 2010 here atall.

. If I'm not mistaken,Nwakaeme did in the Israeli league.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol.... But surprised, I am shaa to hear you haven't heard of him. I was a little boy when I read about Ali Daei and saw clips of him and the France 98 story. Also, of how he was involved in that historic win for Iran over USA at France 98. And you and I know the political brouhaha these two nations have always had from way back. Ali Daei's international career is well documented. He was indeed a legend and a true lion of Persia.

Eeya, i actually didnt know about him until now. You no we cant know it all?

So what happens to the one in 2 years AFCON and it's qualifiers.

South America that does something similar to what you just explained above play their COPA America once in 4 years and they dont play qualifiers for it.

Big Joe, I am big supporter of that idea myself; however, that might not even be the panacea to having these mediocre Arab countries from representing us. Because they tend to play well against African oppositions, it's only when they get to the world stage that they often forget how to play football

But Ghana had the chance naa... To usurp Egypt and qualify in their stead. So what stopped them? As for Cameroon, well they were just unfortunate to be grouped with us.


But mehn @bolded... You are funny here I swear... Loooollll

TheSuperNerd:


I suppose going by your logic that Germany, WORLD CHAMPIONS, is not good too. Ohhh wait... Even Colombia is not good for losing to Japan.

Those other teams have a bigger reputation than Iran

Sir, they play like Europeans. That tells it all.

omo i take God beg Super Eagles all this spirit of african teams getting knocked out after the second game make una reject am o. i don't care how you guys do it play well don't well fluky or genuine make una sha defeat iceland even if na 1/2-0 i go take am like that

Mujtahida:

instead of playing him on the wings let him seat on the bench. it depresses me to see that boy go anonymous in matches he plays from the wings. etebo can play there. iwobi should never be deployed to the wings again abeg!

Rohr played Iwobi, Mikel, Etebo and Moses out of their best wings in that game. Even Shehu should have been subbed for Tyrone. Such a mess.

Bingo!

And like I said yesterday, that's the problem we had in the game against Croatia. Rohr tried to make us play with defensive organization that those Scandinavian countries. But that's not in our DNA. Senegal on the other hand who are coached by a son of the soil, came with their typical African football, with pace and power, and they got a result.

hahaha big talk! Remember the best African performance in the last World Cup was from Algeria.

When last did Cameroun get even 1 point at a World Cup? The most embarrassing results from an African team in recent World Cups are Camerouns. What has Ivory Coast achieved in World Cups even with their golden generation? beating North Korea in 2010 and Serbia & Montenegro in 2006? no that one be result? lol

Ghana has had ONE good world cup (2010), same for Cameroun (1990), same for Senegal (2002).

All African teams have it all to prove because right now there are considered nobodies in World football.

yeah but he has a point when it comes to AFCON or WcQ dem go they flex yeye muscle bring them come world cup na so so lose they go they lose. i mean look at egypt yesterday losing to russia the same russia ivory coast flogged 2-0 last year without yaya toure

So where do these 4 players you mentioned traditionally play for Super Eagles?

In that case, Both Colombia and Germany also have bigger reputations than Morocco.


Also, Japan bigger than Iran in Asia is quite a debate my friend. Mexico is no question.

But in all, it doesn't change the fact Morocco is indeed a good side.

Nerdie, that's the problem! These North Africans tend to up their game when they meet African oppositions, but they always get intimidated when they get to the world stage. I mean, you know as well as I do that Ghana would've gotten a result against Uruguay and would've, most likely, beaten Russia. There's nothing special about Russia. Watch them collapse against Uruguay in the next game.

Nigeria and Mauritania. They played against professionals, they were not playing plumbers.

Then it is our west African's brothers duties to beat these guys themselves and indeed show that they belong at the World cup. We cannot wait until CAF does something. In fact, CAF will never do such and we both know it.
At U-17 level, look at what CAF even did. They just reduced Africa's chances of having strong reps at the FIFA U-17 WC going forward (they zoned the qualifiers to enable other regions gain better chances of being represented at the CAF U-17 Afcon when in it's former format, West Africa always produces Africa's strongest going to the U-17 mundial). Is that the CAF that will do what O pari master, Icon79 is suggesting? Mehn I don't think so.

When Nigeria missed out on the Afcon because of Egypt, I accepted it because we just fell short even though we had our problems. Egypt were better and they still went on to reach the Afcon final.

If you wanna be at the world cup, then our brothers too must flex same muscles these North Africans flex and humble them big time. Finito.

We’ve been on the same page all this while. First we need to have a positive identity. And that should be our driving force in everything we do as a people. Our own na copy copy.
