AFCON win or world cup qualification?

Hello everyone
This is a common debate among many african NT fans.
Would you rather have Nigeria win the AFCON 2021/2 and then not qualify for the world cup, or Nigeria getting knocked out in the second round or quarter finals of the AFCON followed by a qualification to the world cup?
Thanks

Re: Senegal vs Algeria final - Some Thoughts

First of all I wanna congratulate and thank Egypt for the organization. They managed to provide good quality infrastructures despite having to organize a 24 team tournament on such short notice. They deserve credit for that. I also want to congratulate Senegal, Nigeria and Côte d'Ivoire. They have g...

Re: Yousef Belaili

Very talented player, however I can't say the same from a mental stand point.
Poor choices(not wanting to play in Europe, doing cocaine)prevented him from having a career that matches his talent.

Re: Senegal vs Algeria final - Some Thoughts

It will be a tough game for us, Senegal played us already. They have an edge over all of our previous opponents because they can learn from the mistakes they commited in the first game. We will have to step up our game in order to beat them. We'll also have to be more prolific and score the chances ...

Re: CAF HANDLING OF HOSTING RIGHTS

Most of Western Africa will be in its rainy season in June/July. And it can’t be held in the Southern Hemisphere all the time. I mostly agree. The worst decision was turning the 2019 and 2021 contests into 24 team tournaments when the hosts made bids to host 16 teams tournaments. Where I'm not sure...

Re: NIGERIA VS ALGERIA QUARTER FINAL

The schedule for these acn qualifiers is way too tight and algeria is gona enter a new cycle with a new staff and replace some of it's players.Plus the acn is only 6 months from now,that's way too soon.There is not enough time to be ready I don't see us doing well in 2015 acn(if we qualify).
