I don't know what to say about the Nigerian team if the poor performance is from the players, coach or other related factors thats what i can't tell but all i know is they need to revamp there structure ...
I use to direct my blame to the head coach Chelle then I had to rethink about the total number of games the Super Eagles have played have played in the leadership of Eric Chelle,total of 5 games, 2 wins and 3 draws which is really not bad, but then the players has to do better than what they're doing, let them makes sure to win rest of thwir games while we hope that the other opponents drop points. Winning South Africa in the next game is paramount, the result of that game will determine a lot for the Super Eagles destiny in the qualifiers.
With the way things are going, I don't think Nigeria will qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Let's be honest, what did Nigeria Super Eagles accomplish to qualify? We have never lost a game since the new coach, but that doesn't mean that our players are doing well. Nigeria has drawn some games that we were expected to win and be at the top of the table by now. If I remember when Nigeria super eagles used to concede goal in the last minute of match, it made me feel that the players don't deserve to be called super eagles because they don't act like the super eagles.
We all saw how the super falcons play against powerful opponents and win the game from 2:0 down, if Nigeria qualifies for the next World Cup, it will be luck because Nigeria doesn't have any large possibilities to qualify for the World Cup, it has been a long time since Nigeria qualified for the World Cup. Instead of being serious and hungry to play in the World Cup, the players will not be serious, but once they return to their club, they will begin to play well in order to get the attention of other clubs to sign them.
It's a difficult situation to be honest with you and mathematically the odds doesn't favour us, at least not for now until today's games are played and by chance we win South Africa, and on the other hand Benin have to lose their game or even a draw with Lesotho which is looking not likely because Lesotho is one of the weakest team in that group, but if they can hold Benin to a full-time deadlock and Nigeria won theirs then a window of possibilities can be open from their for Nigeria's qualification. The Super Falcons are in a different realm of play and I honestly don't like comparing them to the Super Eagles because it's a shame that the Super Eagles are lagging behind before the Falcons which wasn't supposed to be this way.
