If Super Eagles cannot win their remaining 4 home games, they do not deserve to be at the 2026 World Cup.
The problem is that the nff doen’t understand the probkem of Nigeria football. The don’t understand that football needs money for imvestment they are always complianing of money. They don’t understand that camping is needed before games. They don’t understand that development of local players is needed. All the national teams have problem from u17 to the senior team
