As for me oh. There is no need for them to participate and they should prepare themselves in the next world Cup. If they qualify and participate, what happened in the AFCON Championship will still repeat itself again so there is no need. Super Eagles I know in 2000 to 2014 were good though they used to disappoint us but when Kanu, Jaja were in the team, they were doing good. Even they didn't win a cup they can play to the semi final or to the final but now it is on the group stage of the first two matches that knocking them out from the field, or the tournament.
But in the last Afcon they made it to the final even though they failed to win it. I am not disputing your fact that they always fumble, I know they always disappoint but still seeing them qualify for Tournaments is good else their FIFA rating will drop so badly. I think what we need to do is to raise our hopes high that they will win or play as we expect. I seriously miss The Old Super Eagles because they really made us proud even when they don't win the trophy.
We shouldn't be condemning our country like that and even if they haven't been doing well in international competitions that is no reason to pray they don't qualify. It will be bad if in Africa Nigeria that produces good players don't participate in this Tournament. Regardless of how they make us feel it's still a good thing to see our own people participate, sometimes a team that struggles to qualify end up surprising people. Nigeria is our country and you should always have their back no matter how they keep disappointing and pray one day things will get better for them because I believe they will get better one day.
If they don't qualify this time no worries they should work harder and qualify next time. The mistake was not using the players abroad, you can't compare the qualities and exposure with that of home boys but I believe he saw what he wanted to see.
Dude the guy that said he he pray they dont qualify might be doing such prayer for his mental health, i want you to understand that, there no way that they will qualify without him being tempted to watch them and likely they might be messing up after the high hopes,
Exactly the point, we shouldn't raise our hopes high for them because we already know how they play. That way we wouldn't feel heart broken whenever they mess up. I also don't expect anything from them so he should do the same that way he will not feel disappointed.
