Following the NFF formal protest to FIFA, Zimbabwe have now moved their home game against Bafana Bafana out of South Africa.

The NFF, as first reported by SCORENigeria, complained to FIFA that South Africa have been handed an unfair advantage in the qualification race to the 2026 World Cup as their final four qualifiers will all be played in South Africa.

This is because both Lesotho and Zimbabwe picked South Africa as their home grounds after their own stadiums were not approved to be staged the World Cup qualifiers.


On Tuesday, Zimbabwe announced that they have changed their home ground from South Africa to Rwanda for their World Cup qualifier in October.

Zimbabwe initially played the qualifiers in Rwanda before they settled for South Africa, were they recently forced a 2-2 draw with Benin.

The three other qualifiers involving Bafana Bafana will be played in South Africa – vs Lesotho, Super Eagles and Rwanda.

They lead Group C with 13 points from six matches.

What about Lesotho 🇱🇸…make dem sef change venue away from South Africa 🇿🇦

Right now,No,Aston villa is not better than AC Milan.
Some of una self, Aston Villa manage came 4th last season and suddenly they become better than AC Milan? AC Milan that won league three seasons ago and came second last season.

u dey mind pple wey they tag clubs to be big judging by current form and position in the league

U no go surprise when dem tell u say Atalanta is bigger than Milan or Forrest and villa are bigger than man united 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

even if Milan won their last serie A title 15 years ago Aston Villa is no where close to Milan’s pedigree in world club football

Napoleon55:

club that can easily buy a $100M player and u are calling them "I get am before"?
If they ask u to put ur money on which club is more likely to win EPL between Man U and Fulham in the next 5 years,which club would u bet on?

Man U remains the biggest club in England, the most successful beside Liverpool in England.

Man U,Chelsea and Arsenal,any of these clubs can bounce back at any time and dominate EPL unlike Fulham.

u sabi game bro

How much did Man city buy Marmoush?
Is he from Brazil?

Dark skinned African players that play for African countries with predominantly brown skinned African people
That’s what I meant
They’re usually undervalued & underpaid
Even Troost Ekong did say it affects wage negotiations & other things if a player like Saka plays for England as opposed to Nigeria
Arabs sometimes don’t see themselves as Africans geopolitically
Chelsea in the last summer window somewhat disrespected Osimhen

How much did Napoli pay for Osimhen?
How much did Arsenal pay for Pepe?

yinkeys:
Chukwueze needs to leave AC Milan urgently
His agent needs to get to work ASAP
Alejandro Jimenez is preferred by this Milan coach
Aston Villa would be fantastic if you ask me, favour from his former boss
His butt will be on that Milan bench for ages

samu can’t get into this current Villa team

If he wants to bounce back to his best he should a less competitive team in Italy, Spain or England

Clubs like Fulham,Everton, Palace, Valencia, Sociedad, Sevilla, Bologna, Atalanta, Udinese won’t be bad

I don't see any upgrade in leaving Atalanta to Atletico Madrid

I do not agree with this.
In the europa league, in the champions league and even in their respective leagues, atalanta doesn’t come close to atletico Madrid.
It’s a big upgrade. Even in of fan base

Ok. But what's the update on SA fielding an ineligible player?

Salary
Publicity
Guaranteed champions league football every season

Guy why you do this ?

VO9 please go to Arsenal
That’s where he’d flourish
I hope Arsenal try to get him
I’m sure Osimhen’s asking wages will be between £300k to £400k
The joy in Africa if he goes to Arsenal ehn
Arsenal will win the league next season provided he stays fit, that AFCON in December/January would be very tough

So after all the talks and rumor mills, Man Utd are not in for Osimhen.

Charles, you can rest now. Na Cunha una manager want. Lol

yea United board don comot body for osimhen interest 🤣🤣🤣

I think it all boils down to his wage demand, heard epl clubs too aren’t too keen because of the same wage issue

Osimhen may go back to serie A likely Juve. Epl clubs aren’t ready to pay him the wages he is demanding for but as for interest they are concrete interest from top clubs in the league especially Man United

Arsenal aren’t showing interest in him for now maybe that will happen as we head into the summer transfer window

Also he wage demand is scaring many away

Buchi said it days back when the news of Manchester United came out that Liverpool will surely come for Osimhen by summer. They tried g him last summer but Napoli wasn't interested selling to them, even came back again in January. Darwin Nurez will be sold and Osimhen is seen as upgrade.

Osimhen vs Nwakaeme Cup Final in Turkey

Anthony Nwakaeme provided an assist as Trabzonspor beat Anthony Dennis' Goztepe 2-0 in the Turkish Cup Semis today.

They will take on Osimhen's Galatasaray on May 14 in the final.

Haaland earns over £520k per week
Salah earns over £370k per week
The highest earner in Arsenal is Havertz @ £275k
For a striker of that quality, the least Osimhen should get is £300k
Osimhen will give them at least 20 EPL goals
Osimhen shirt sales will be fire too
Oh another person is already wearing number 9
Liverpool may go for Isak, but his transfer fee is the issue. Craz y buyout clause
Isak also stated that’s his dream club

Mané was really underpaid at Liverpool
Imagine 100k before he left, Munich didn’t even benefit from the over €250k he was earning due to injuries
I don forget say those countries dey tax like mad. Could be 35% to 40%

Sadly Ola Aina hasn’t recovered to help his team
What a blow
ManCity will batter Nottingham Forest @ Wembley in the FA cup semifinals
I would be glad if Forest can get to the finals, just like Newcastle in the Carabao cup since they could lose their UCL spot soon

If Osimhen is heading to the EPL, it’s now most likely that his destination would either be Stamford Bridge or the Emirates..

Ebuehi played 62 minutes for Empoli today.
