Nigeria will beat Benin and qualify for world cup. South Africa’s best result against Rwanda is a draw for sure
Nigerians! How many of our recent predictions have really worked. Abeg, let the best team in the group grab the ticket. May the best win and represent Africa well.
Nigeria will qualify or make playoffs if we win by 2-3 goals against Benin after the new playoffs qualification format. Let’s be educated and take our chances by not doing Benin any Favor.
Lol. Just as we are praying for South Africa to draw their match against Rwanda in the fantasy world of beating Benin Republic by at least 2 goals knowing we are draw specialists playing a more motivated team that knows a draw in THE LAST MATCH is possible because opponent will be desperate to score (a team with no more than 2 goals in 9 games), we are also praying the teams in playoff spots above us don’t win their final matches also.
After 10 games!
10 matches!
That have 30 points!
All the North African teams have since forgotten they participated in world cup 2026 qualifiers.
Even God is just.
We want SA to “falter” in our group; we want Gabon and others to also not win their final matches that will enhance their playoff positions (after all of them are bound to lose 6 points after beating the bottom sides twice in their group) for who to rise?
Nigeria? Once 5th in global rankings? Who weren’t remorseful for missing the previous world cup and have a midfielder that said we were not expected to win all our international matches?
