2026 CAF WCQ: Nigeria vs Zimbabwe FT 1-1(Osimhen 73m. asst.Aina) Chirewa 90mins

[wanaj0]

No Musa to blame.

No Iheanacho to blame

No Finidi to blame

No NFF to blame for this

Same same

[airwolex]

Ekong was so slowfooted there, he was favorite for the ball. I guess this is it?

[danfo driver]

At least we can start the tough conversation and process of phasing out certain players, God will punish anybody here who will talk about experience and continuity. Another world cup crash out, I'm fuming right now.

Na now una wa phase them out? When we were inviting regtirement ekong and shi1 league AL Hassan and relegation battler Aribo, there were people here who supported it and celebrated.

WIthout Osimhen we would have lost both games, easy!

[lacidi]

What of Papa something, why is he not playing?

[Tbite]

Wtf was Ekong doing there.

That was not as dangerous an opportunity as it seemed. Ekojg had no business being beaten there.

Wtf.

[green4life]

Excellent defense by Osayi Samuel..

smh

we needed that calm defending in the box by Ekong especially with Rwanda drawing... massive fcuuuk up

[The YeyeMan]

Hope y'all see why I typically haven't bothered with the national team for the past 5 years plus.

[mcal]

...these guys are not serious at all. And abeg make una no blame the coach.

[maceo4]

Ekong cost us any real chance of a WC... Horrible defending in the box. Amatuerish

What about the open net they missed? They kept easily getting in behind us yet the coach did not make changes in the back to close up shop…he was just hoping time would run out…this one is on the coach abeg…

[airwolex]

Once they started trying to knock the ball around instead of going for the jugular i knew we were vulnerable!

[vancity eagle]

This is all on the coach. We didn't look right from the onset.

We looked better than we ever have.

But the defending once Zimbabwe decided to attack was horrific. They even missed an open net and we were still not warned.

We have been chopping useless goals all competition.

[danfo driver]

What of Papa something, why is he not playing?

Thats not why they invited him. They just needed him to have his "Nigeria International" on his name


These b45ta4rds know what they are doing

[Synopsis]

They should have brought Aribo in for Osimhen.

[TonyTheTigerKiller]

This is all on the coach. We didn't look right from the onset.

Blame the coach; don’t blame your substandard players


Cheers.

[wanaj0]

Ok, we have some poor players I have to say.

We have average players BUT we always pretend as if there is one FANTASTIC player that is missing that could have made a difference.

Apart from Osimhen, Lukman and Nwabali, there is little or no difference in any other player we pick.

[Enugu II]

We are done for sure. We can heap all blames on the managers but what about the players? They are supposedly from Europe leagues. Not so? I want to know how many players from Lesotho and Zimbabwe are from such leagues. WE really got to get a grip on focusing on leagues and focus on type of players that we have.

[green4life]

Wtf was Ekong doing there.

That was not as dangerous an opportunity as it seemed. Ekojg had no business being beaten there.

Wtf.

He was afraid of giving away a pk when he needed to be calm because he got to the spot first... unbelievable school boy defending

[Lolly]

Ekong was so slowfooted there, he was favorite for the ball. I guess this is it?

The guy was already in the penalty box, so Ekong had to be careful not to give away a penalty.

[TonyTheTigerKiller]

They should have brought Aribo in for Osimhen.

To do what


Cheers.

[Tbite]

Never in my entire life have I been on the keyboard reacting to a ball faster than s defender. I literally saw the challenge that should have been made and Ekong just casually watches the ball as if he would rather someone else deal with it.

That is a career ending tackle I'm afraid. That's it.

Great service to the nation, but that's it.

That should be the last game for him.

I don't want to see him in green again.

[imehjunior]

Congratulations South Africa.

[airwolex]

Yep Ekong was afraid to give up the penalty. Sign of an aging player that knows he is heavy footed. But the attitude after the goal was diabolical.

[Bigpokey24]

on to the next, we were rubbish , we do not deserve it . We cannot win a freaking game at home . all that labor for nothing . abeg make them begin focus for 2030..smh .. CAF has 9 WC teams, and Nigeria no dey ..chei
