FIFA: Ahmed Musa Has 98 Official Caps, Not 100
Musa has played 100 times for Nigeria but FIFA only recognized 98 matches.. Match against Togo in France wasn't recognized by FIFA and WCQ against Algeria was cancelled because Nigeria featured ineligible player.

It really makes little sense. In my view, I will rather go with NFF's count uf verifiable than FIFA's count. FIFA historically has made blunders with counting appearances. For instance, pre-1992 Olympics played by full African national teams against each other are not counted by FIFA and yet friendlies during the sam e period by African national teams are counted. There are other similar inconsistences.

Please lets go with NFF's count, so that this nightmare can end!

Re: FIFA: Ahmed Musa Has 98 Official Caps, Not 100
It is really ridiculous. There is actually no dis put that the guy has appeared in 101 games for a Nigerian selection. The rest is a conjecture of what is and what is not an official game.

Fifa clarifies, Musa has 98 caps and not 100 for Super Eagles.

Purity,
Given FIFA's edict I ask:
Should the friendly game with ended in 0-0 with Cape Verde yarn ago count? That game had 7 substitutions and is part of FIFA's current count. Why is it so?

"When a lion becomes old, he is a toy for little flies".
I can understand if Musa was playing for a big club to warrant accomodating him. Bobo's trademark pace and hustle have left him... and it is not like he was skillful in the first place to say that he can at least rely on his skills.
He plays at a position where there are way better options.
What exactly is the upside of playing Musa? I can understand inviting him. But playing and even starting him?

Re: FIFA: Ahmed Musa Has 98 Official Caps, Not 100
Actually, 3 or more by my count. Our friendly with Cape Verde a few years ago featured 7 players. LOL. Thus, guys like Musa and Yobo who played in that one will have to lose a further game given FIFA's edict.vancity eagle wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 4:10 pm Why FIFA wan torture us with 2 more games for focks sake !!!!!!!

Re: FIFA: Ahmed Musa Has 98 Official Caps, Not 100
...what the heck? 2 more matches ahead and let's see if they will deny him 100 caps. And after the next 2 he can retire so haters will move on to others.
Re: FIFA: Ahmed Musa Has 98 Official Caps, Not 100
Wait a minute! It isn't 2 but 3 more games.
Just discovered that FIFA may discount our 0-0 international friendly with Cape Verde a few years ago! Why? We made 7 substitutions while according to FIFA only 6 can be made. LOL.

...if the officials on the ground allowed it why blame/punish the team?
Re: FIFA: Ahmed Musa Has 98 Official Caps, Not 100
Give him his couple of minutes in injury time. He has earned it.
