"The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup (14390088 Views)

minfelix: SA lost to Mali in their first match at the AFCON right? I think then they were still finding their feet and hadn't settled into their stride. In their next match, they dispatched Namibia 4 - 0 and thereafter played goalless with Tunisia. In the round of 16, they defeated tournament favourites Morocco 2 nil. I watched that game. and they were really impressive. Q/F, they dispatched Cape Verde by penalties in a game they should have lost, S/F, they played their best game against Nigeria cos Hugo Bross changed their formation to mirror ours by playing a 5-3-2 which was the first time we encountered a team playing that formation so it proved difficult for us. 3rd place match, They reverted to their normal formation. SA played terribly and Congo DR should have won if not for profligacy in front of goal really. SA eventually won via penalty. After the Nations cup, they've only lost once, which was to Rwanda away in match day 2 of the WCQs. This SA team is a problem. Make Rohr and Benin Republic just do the Lord's work for us by defeating them or playing a draw. Who are the teams, we're most likely to meet in the play-offs? |

semid4lyfe: Rwanda defeated them 2 nill in Kigali on match day 2. I wish Rwanda to remain a contender, it will motivate them when them meet SA in the reverse fixture. 1 Like 1 Share |

In all sincerity, we are moving on too fast. We need to know the guys that sat round that table and decided that Finidi George was the best fit to give something as a crucial World cup qualifiers to. Today we only heap blame on FG, but whoever those guys were in the NFF, we need to know their names so we can mark it for having terrible judgement despite the fact that we missed out in 2022. That ought to set a precedent on how fragile the wcq should be taken. That ought to inspire and influence their decision making. But, they decided on FG and now here we are. Now, if anything sup, they'll probably be the 1st to heap blame on the players when in fact, it is their ineptitude that contributed to all these palava. Suddenly, their faith in Chelle go kon high as if no be them sabotage this whole process. They are saboteurs. They should be ashamed of themselves. Yeah we will face front but that will be too easy on them. Such crew should be far away from our football. Heck they can't even decide a coach for the Super Falcons till now. Smh 1 Like |

minfelix: I watched what Cape Verde dey do. Those guys are super technical abeg. They way they move in the box and how they trust each other's judgement, i wish we have that. I saw the Egypt game and i was wondering how too many shots on target.... Omo! Also watched the senegal and Sudan game... Those guys sabi defend and rely on aerial es. It's their forte. 1 Like |

semid4lyfe:Play-offs spot isn't sure for any team in our group. Teams like Gabon, Mozambique are really pushing for the top 4, Benin is currently 8th out of the top 4 2nd placed teams. |

semid4lyfe: That's interesting...so SA has lost once after AFCON. So many interesting coincidence.. although Nigerian team has lost thrice since AFCON. We have lost to Chelle's Mali. Lost to Benin as well as Rwanda at home. I hope South Africa follows this pattern , they lost to Chelle's Mali at AFCON , lost to Rwanda and now I pray they lose to Benin...just like Nigeria. πππ 4 Likes 1 Share |

We have moved away from overcautiousness and i think its a good thing that Chelle is ready to move players around. We didnt play badly at all, though Osimhen's return was a huge factor in the win

Joebie: We need natural midfielders like ebenezer akinsanmiro, chrisantus uche for this his diamond formation. They should be tried in the friendlies in June. Akinsanmiro is a rookie but we should see what he does un the friendly. Using chukwueze as a midfielder in a diamond 4 4 2 is not proper. Lts see what akinsanmiro can do. Uche too in midfield. There is also onechhu ogbelu in Tunisia. |

AndSunGorilla: Lol...He even scored for Black Stars last week, his 2nd goal in 22 appearances.. I hope Boniface is not following that path... |

Agreed we need workaholic midfielders for that set up.
