So it has finally come down to mathematics to qualify from the weakest WCQ group

[Bigpokey24]

So the SE will wait to do maths to qualify for the final round . Smh . i know folks on these forums like the EPs( enemies of Progress) used this to sing left and right stating no more calculus abi trigonometry to qualify for any tournament.. today we are wasting for Further mathematics to save the SE ...all thanks to that ****

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

Only dummies need. a calculator to figure this out. We qualify if we win our next game . Why do you need a calculator for that? Olodo Rabata?

[olu]

No it hasn't. If we win our remaining games we qualify regardless of what the other teams do.

[Orion]

We're actually in a comfortable position. Our next away game is against a team that has already been eliminated, while CV will play a team that still has a fighting chance so will have a tougher game.

Then we host CV at home to round off the qualifiers.

It's obvious Mathematics wasn't your "thing" in school.

We should be playing Liberia in Ghana so thats a big bonus.

It always comes down to "mathematics".

Nigeria need a minimum of 4 points and they qualify but if Cape Verde drop points and Nigeria wins,Nigeria qualifies.I’m not even good at maths so don’t stress.Hopefully Nigeria doesn’t play anyone too organised in the next round or your dreams will be realised.

Only Mathematics?

I think the poster meant using calculators instead of straightforward mathematics.

We can’t afford to drop points before our final decider against Cape Verde who have been lucky to get a last minute winner in both their last 2 games.

No math needed

The SE will qualify. The problem the SE need to avoid is being overtaken in the FIFA ranking by another African team (likely Egypt) before the final round of playoff and thus having to navigate a significantly more difficult fixture

Are we sure the final round will be seeded?
Been trying to confirm this but can’t.
It should be, but I’m not certain it has been agreed to.

[YUJAM]

Yeah, I haven't see anything that confirms this is the case. But it is the only thing that makes sense

How else would it be done?

The seed is not based on ranking, but on past past WC qualification record. We will be fine.

[quickie]

Pinnick said the draw for next round of qualifiers will be based on FIFA rankings in the interview he did with Mitchel Obi after the Cape Verde away game.
Top 5 FIFA ranked v Bottom 5 FIFA ranked. He was saying he was elated with the win as it means we will avoid Algeria, Senegal, Morocco etc...guess he didn't see CAR coming. Hope Egypt don't overtake us to 5th.

AFCON will determine rankings, what i mean is performing well will help boost rankings. playoffs are in march...however when are the draws ?

Will the draws be done before or after AFCON?

If we have to play Algeria, Morocco, Senegal, Ivory Coast or Egypt in the next round, we are out! Our team isn't good or well coach enough to beat these teams! Actually we will struggle against Mali,Ghana, Cameroon or Tunisia as well!

[YUJAM]

Ahem. Chief I think Senegal, CIV, Egypt and Tunisia are all there for the taking. Algeria and Morocco appear to be the strongest teams even though Algeria has B Faso seemingly capable of the big upset in their group.

All that said, the road to Qatar doesn’t have to be that difficult. Nigeria are no 3 in Africa and despite the loss to CAR shoukd be able to remain in the top 5

Yujam, not be afraid to be objective on this forum. Tunisia, Senegal and Egypt don't lose to teams like Sierra Leone, and CAR or struggle against Liberia, Cape verde!

Most likely before,this is FIFA not CAF who procrastinate.
