We will win.
Up cheeters of Benin republic!
Up GENERAL ROAH!!!
I go for a 2-1 win in favour of Benin republic….
It is better they go through to represent Africa than our super eagles that will go there and embarrass us…heard they are playing some nice football under GENERAL ROAH…
This is bad @Monkey. Support Nigeria or get out of here.
De man do not supported Nigreain, he ees a Ghanaian, when wii yuh pipo learn???
I hope then they sell sniper near ur location or better still ask ur partner to prescribe a better and faster medication as a DR wey him be for u, bcos if u fail to drink sniper if Nigeria win this match ehhhh, na me and u for this forum, I go over drag ur black bum bum lolll. To think u used to be my paddy ooo but ur wahala and stubborn head too much.
Monkey you and your shameless father drey can drink to stupor because your ROHR could not do pim in Uyo. Una dey mad God don rub shit for una rubbish face. Useless entities!!!!! Femi congratulations you stood by the team I sight you Bro!!!!
Gbayii jare @chima, I am not on the platform/forum to creat enemity but to discuss soccer, but what I won’t allow is anybody feeling he is above everyone else, nobody knows it all and we leave to learn on a daily.
@Dr Drey is for sure a great dude with vast knowledge that’s easy to acknowledge from a far, but he need to know that where his knowledge end is where others start, nobody is an island of knowledge and we all have access to multiple online searching app to educate ourself.
Let the playoff start and we will continue from where we stop. Congrat to all of us that believe in the team.
Goaaaal for Nigeria! Osimhen.
Moses Simon is playing rubbish.
Xenophobia republic have gone 2 goals up – exactly as I thought and predicted yesterday, they have compromised the Mugu republic called Rwanda.
Hey ho…C’est la vie
How many home matches has the so-called xenophobic Republic lost at home in the last 3 years? “Win this match you are playing at home and go to the world cup”, if it’s not motivating enough, I wonder what is?
Congratulations to them. Even after 3 points deductions? That’s massive.
Can we qualify for playoff like this…
Yes as it stand we are through to play off, but more matches to come from other group.
We need 2 more goals to beat Burkina Faso. Uganda is surprisingly winning in Algeria. DR Congo is supposed to win Sudan.
Yes we can. keep the win and push for one more goal to clear the GD tiebreak
Please, can we send someone to go and plead with the coaching crew to stop using this Moses Simon. He is the most useless and ineffective player in this team.
If we win by 4-0, I think we may qualify for the playoff (+7 goal difference). Not 100% sure. Just a rough calculation
Yes, thats right. 4-0 puts us in the playoff.
What do you expect from Rwanda that lost at home to Benin .. If they had won, they would have been in the mix as well.. Now they ain’t playing for anything.. Hope 9ja will be one of the 4 for play off
Some fake Nigerian are fasting and praying like this for the eagle to loose so they can exonerate them self, but more goals in second half bcos Benin will start to commit more players upfront .
How can Algeria be losing at home to Uganda??? Not good for Nigeria’s hopes.
Hallelujah ended in a draw
This is true, Algeria messed up.
its 2-1 Algeria now
Algeria actually won the game 2-1, so that takes Uganda out of the playoffs.
Eric Chelle delivered! Wow!
I can now breath a sigh of relief. We are in the playoffs!
Congratulations to Chelle and the boys.
A rising ovation to him……..indeed he delivered…!!!
At this point, I doff my hat for him, from the bottom of my heart.
Any which way, the man delivered on the terms of his engagement.
To think it took a suspension to make him select the right starting XI for the team.
My brother I have been following you since you and omo Niger used to tackle each other and I love your write up but after Friday match against Lesotho I don’t like what you wrote about our coach challenge took a team from second but last to a play off the man deserves kudo .let us swelling to those who want ex Nigeria footballer as coach yo go to he’ll they are the one puts us in sheet pls praise this our coach intact he try
Rising ovation ko, seating ovation nii, ur ovation is not needed i beg.
I will give u this last attention on the win % issue, I dare you to screenshot where I typed 3/5 and win $200 asap, what I typed was 11/15, 3 win and 2draw of chelle first 5 games as SE manager in the qualifier before the beaten he gave ur G. Pap today, I will check back here within 1hr to see ur screenshot and send ur $200 at least to use hold body for ur today beaten. Ahahahha, as he dey sweet us, he dey pain @Dre. and his partner in crime @Monkey Post.
Hahahahaha….uncle 3/5 = 80% win ratio.
By their comments, you will know those who passed exams through miracle centres.
Olodo, I should screenshot. So CSN allows us to post screenshots now…….LMAOOOo…???
Dont worry, I won’t shot it. I will copy your comments and paste it here, since you still want to ridicule yourself further
Playoffs dey sweet you when outright world cup ticket wey we don lose back to back since dumb people called for Rohr’s sack dey pain sensible people……..LMAOoooo
Femi on October 13, 2025 5:26 pm
And same u glorifying Rohr 60% WIN RATIO want the head of Chelle with almost 80% WIN RATE with 11/15 score in the qualifier and YET TO LOSE A MATCH WITH THE EAGLE. Continue with ur double standard, okay.
.
.

Femi on October 14, 2025 8:52 am.
Read to comprehend and not to attack dude, “emphasis on qualifier “ and Nt the entire matches he has coached us, 3 WIN AND 2 DRAWS FROM 5 MATCHES IS APPROX. 80%, stop with ur ITK attitude it sucks. Common.
.
.
.
Cheap shameless liar…..Congratulations on successfully disgracing yourself.
1. You mentioned WIN RATE……..that is clear even to the blind. Before giving his records in the qualifiers as a backup to your WIN RATE assumption. And dont even try twisting your way out bcos it is simple English language
“……. same u glorifying Rohr 60% WIN RATIO want the head of Chelle with almost 80% WIN RATE WITH 11/15 score in the qualifier and yet to lose a match with the eagle….”
You can choose to feign ignorance of what you wrote there, or go give a lawyer your $200 to interpret it to you properly.
.
2. You even went as far a claiming he’s yet to lose a match with the Eagles……LMAOoo….as if it was the Eagles of Mali he coached at CHAN when Senegal and Sudan walloped us.
.
3. To rub salt on your injury, you desperately dropped another clanger with “3 WIN AND 2 DRAWS FROM 5 MATCHES IS APPROX. 80%”……….LMAOoooo. Only your creator knows what you were trying to calculate there…….LMAOoooo. Come and explain to us how 3wins and 2 draws in 5 matches equals approximately 80% WIN RATIO.
Win ratio EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD is calculated by dividing the number of wins by the number of matches played. There is no where WIN RATIO is calculated with points gathered. Go to school, no, they will say school is a scam, only to come and disgrace themselves in public with blind arguments.
When you saw you had goofed with your 80% nonsense, you tried saving your face from disgrace by sneaking draws into it just to find a way of making up your phantom 80% win ratio…….LMAOOooo.
When you saw that it was not working, you shifted to using points to calculate win ratio…….LMAOoo. Professor of Arithmetics……..LMAOoooo
Still even 11/15 isnt approx 80%…….LMAOoo
So maybe you should go and add the unity cup and chan in your calculations so you can get your desperately desired 80%……LMAOooo
No matter where you want to dodge and duck, twist and turn to save face, helloooooo, you’ve been checkmated. Go and hide your face.
Keep your peanuts to yourself….you’ll need it when you re-enroll in kindergarten for proper re-education.
Your gaffe is on the completesports.com/2026-wcq-were-in-uyo-to-beat-super-eagles-benin-captain-mounie thread for the world to read and deduce who’s trying to play half smart here.
Rubbishh…….!!
Thank God, I don’t need to watch DR Congo Vs Sudan later.
Are you sure Rohr won’t be sacked tonight? From top spot to 3rd spot after a thorough 4-0 beating.
We need 4 goals, we got 4 goals, haters pls locate the nearest transformer and hug it tight. Yen yen yen chelle team can’t play without conceding. Awon na only me sabi.
Hahahahha…..uncle 3/5 = 80%
Have you qualified for the world cup….? LMAOOooooo
While haters are trying to locate transformer, you should try locating the nearest primary school to re-enrol for quality education…..LMAOoooo
I’ve replied you on that already, chelle record wasn’t 3/5, you counting just the win and neglect the draws, u need the formal education more son, and yes 11/15 is approximately 80%, use ur google again, after all na bcos of ur like Larry page and Sergey invent the searching app. Trying so hard to demerit chelle record just to justify ur principal achievement. Ogbeni park well, chelle don silent u forever, hope say u don break whatever u watching the match with? With or without WC qualification, Eric is here to stay and take us to the AFCON. Yen yen yen, Rorh always qualify us with game to spare and his player highest goal
Scorer, as if the highest goal scorer is anyone else aside osimhen who has missed majority of the qualifier.
HAhahahaha…….3/5 isnt 80% again….?? LMAOOooo
So when you calculate WIN RATIOS you add draws to it abi…….LMAOoooo.
Cheap liar is trying to save face………LMAOOoo.
So when you were telling me 3/5 why didnt you add draws to it too……..LMAOooo
They call something WIN RATIO, you want to add draws to it……and you talk about formal education when you cannot even calculate 3/5 correctly…….LMAOOoo
So when I calculated Rohr’s “terrible” 60% win ratio, did they tell you I added draws to it too….??
You dont have to tell cheap lies to score points……LMAOoo…..I NEVER tried hard to demerit Chelle’s record……I simply posted Rohr’s record……..LMAOOoo….It was you who was desperate to demerit Rohr’s record without first mastering simple arithmetics…….LMAOooo…only to shoot yourself in the foot and end up padding up Chelle’s records just to make Rohr’s record look insignificant……LMAOoooo.
Chelle has no silenced me…….he has not qualified for the World Cup. Tell him to qualify for the world cup first before running around naked bragging that Chelle shut me up…….LMAOooo
You claim to know how to use google, yet u cannot use it to teach yourself that Rohr produced the top scorers in all his assignments (V. Moses [2018 WCQ], Ighalo [2019 AFCONQ and 2019 AFCON] before producing Victor Osimhen [2021 AFCONQ]……..since he left we have struggled to qualify for WC twice and cannot even produce top scorers anymore………LMAOOoooo
Mr formal education……LMAOO…….you sef go and sit your ignorant ass somewhere and try locating the nearest primary school to re-enrol for quality re-education…..LMAOoooo
Sorry oh…I criticized the lineup but they did the job. Also, it’s alarming that only Osimhen is scoring for us. We knew what we were supposed to do from the beginning of the qualifiers, yet we toyed with it. Well, time to debrief, refuel and come back to the playoffs.
They called him a Malia toureg but though Rohr was a tactical genius….If u tell me Chelle doesn’t deserve the job after Peseiro and Finidi destroyed us then may Thunder strike your mouth,
And isnt Rohr a tactical genius…..?? Leading Benin Republic to this point takes tactical ingenuity.
An ordinary mechanic led 2nd and 3 division players to almost kick your ass out of the World Cup……LMAOoooo
This Malian Touareg was sacked in Mali for killing their World Cup hopes. He has VICTOR OSIMHEN to take for glossing up his CV
Well, he has beaten your Rohr twice…. Isn’t that tactical supremacy? I have always said it…The day a coach has the balls to start benching Ekong, that defence will grow in confidence.
Twice…….??
Quit whatever you are smoking.
Tactical supremacy will be Eric Chelle leading Togo to defeat Rohr’s Benin republic…..not leading Osimhens, Iwobis and Chukwuezes to defeat 2nd, 3rd division and Beninoise league players.
Quit whatever you are smoking bud…..He beat him in the Afcon qualfiers…. Sorry that was Eguavoen
Bro u is a fraud….So it’s cuz he has Osimhen and co???? Rohr had the same talents for 6 years and didn’t even get us to an Afcon final….He did qualify us to the WC in a tough group tho. I find it weird how u are against Chelle but give Finidi and Peseiro a pass….These 2 fools destroyed us. Chelle is still unbeaten with super eagles.
Hahahahaha….please go and copy and paste where I ever gave Finidi and Peserio a pass mark……LMAOooo.
I have already given Chelle his flowers for getting the job done. That still doesn’t change the fact that it took a suspension to lookman before he could even get something as basic as his best starting XI right.
If Lookman weren’t suspended, he would have started 2 left wingers as usual……LMAOoooo
14 points out of a possible 18 is incredible!!Chelle is a top top bloke!!
Nope I are wrong @greenhut, they are coming to tell u 14/18 is below 50% win rate, just watch. To think he still have the gut to even hold his phone and type beats me. Some people no just get shame.
You think everyone is like you who doesnt know how to do simple arithmetics…….LMAOooo
Shebi 3 wins out of 5 games equals 80% “WIN RATIO” in your village……LMAOoo
Olodo rairai…….LMAOOoo
The fact that you can still hold your phone and attempt to save face with you “add draws” to WIN RATIO calculations beats me…….LMAOooo
Between you and I who suppose to get shame……??
You were so desperate to discredit Rohr, you quickly pulled out Chelle’s 3/5 = 80% WIN RATIO records……LMAOooo
See who is telling someone else to go and get formal education……..LMAOOoo
Amen to the last 4 words.
I was not worried about the Uganda match. Even a narrow win only gets them to 15 points and a goal difference a little over four, still short of the cutoff.
Omo see how Squirrels became suya meat for the hangry Super Golden Eagles.
But nevertheless, it is as I suspected – those xenophobic disappointments ended up wuru wuruing their way to the ticket through unadultrated foul play, but at least we can march on towards the play-offs.
Who would have thought? And why oh why have they not been putting out these types of performances for crying out loud but leaving it until it was almost too late?
Well, I think we all know the answer to that one – it is the Nigerian way hehehe.
Monkey and his father should show their smelly face. Yesterday I said after today I will respond to the weaklings but where are they now? Shameless tyrants waiting for us to loose for them to drink blood at their coven tonight. Fact that two weirdos took sides with Benin remind me of their past demonic romance b4 a disagreement with Osimhen jam their big head together. Now they came out together with an Agenda praying for General Rohr as they call him to win and shame us. Lol God pass monkey and impostor that EFCC will raid soon!!!!
My good friend@ Dr Drey
Told you. Patriotism beats all.
No matter what, always support your own.
Congratulations to every Nigerian out there that stayed true.
All respect to Chelle and his Super Eagles.
I am humbled.
Hahahahaha please wher ees dr gery o? hmm??
Let hin sho hin Benin face o, hin an his granfada Riah abi watin lol
dr grey, sho yur face, abi fear cacth yuh?? lmaaoo!
CAF and Motsepe are frauds…FIFA should investigate the bastards…..Playing 7 home games in a world cup qualifiers…Na wa ohh
Hahahahaha…….Mr Hush…oh yes, you did.
But the last time I checked, it is South Africa, our sworn enemies, who have qualified for the World Cup……..and its such a shame we gave them the ticket.
I also doff my hat for Chelle, he got the job done…….that’s all that matters. And that has been what I have always said, even in the days of Rohr. Getting the job done is all that matters.
And yes, Rohr has earned himself respect.
He scrapped our scalp in these qualifiers and is partly the reason we are not the ones who have qualified tonight. The only match we lost in the qualifiers was to him. So yes, He has ended up having a say in our being at the World Cup.
Once again, congratulations to Nigeria.
If we ever make it in the end, then God is indeed a Nigerian.
@ Dr Drey
It’s a shame our hater South Africa had time qualify due to our deed. But as I stated the yesterday, I am patriotic enough to bite the bullet letting the hate filled South Africans qualify, by beating Benin rep.
My passion for my country is stronger than whatever. So will always fight for my country’s win.
And hopefully, after the playoff, we shall all celebrate our qualification for the Mundial. God indeed is a Nigerian. HE proved it today.
Once again, congratulations to you and all Nigerians.

Chelle is a highly technical coach and he has proven his worth. The nff should allow the coaching crew to continue the transformation.
The 11 players that started the game and the substitutes (Olusegun & Onyeka) that showed up, should be the integral part of the team.
Returnees: Lookman, Aina, Onyedika, Delw-Bashiru, Tolu, Ejuke
New: Akinsamiro, Ejuke, Ejaria, Durosinmi.,
It’s a good thing that we are in the playoff round. This will help strengthen the team.
Congrats to the Super Eagles.
I can never ever write off my SuperEagles. Who be Benin?
Iyanu Ti N’Chelle!!
VAMOS ARRIBBA SUPEREAGLES!!!
