It’s a roller coaster in this group C as leadership of the group changes hand as new matches are played. Still a long way to go as to who will get the ticket to the 2026 world cup. Nigeria better be careful as there is threat from any of the 5 other teams.
Benin republic will do us a favor.
Hahahahaha funny right? We have our exam in a few hours time make we do revision and avoid all the Hullabaloo….
Hmm! And Nigeria had a draw against Zimbabwe. Anyway, every match is different.
Interesting. I guess we need to stop classifying Lesotho as minnows. They’re fast moving out of that league, just like Comorros and Madagascar.
Regardless, Mr. Peseiro put us behind the eight-ball in this group drawing winnable games, then absconded.
Just hoping those poor results doesn’t come back to haunt us in the end.
Wow Onuachu and Dele Bashiru starts!Ndidi defensive role..Own goal Nigeria
Terrible line up
Hehehehe. Wahala, wahala, wahala. Anyway we keep our fingers crossed to see what Finidi is cooking.
Na that time we for kuku employ Hilda Baci na
I read Chukwueze asked to be excused yesterday to go for his grandmother’s burial this weekend. After training with the team since last week o. I hope Finidi does not allow player indiscipline to derail him.
I don’t want to believe the starting line-up until it’s official..
Ogogoro must have led to the inclusion of three sluggish players who can’t provide team balance cuz they can’t mark while they easily lose the ball under minor pressure.
A balance team can only afford one of Iwobi, Kelechi,and Onuachu.
Fingers crossed!
