It's understandable why people call Ronaldo "Penaldo". Grin He scored another penalty goal and improved his statistics.

But it was thanks to Ronaldo's shot that he got the penalty, and scoring a penalty goal is not an easy task. It's true that people expect Ronaldo to score more goals that aren't penalties, but it's undeniable that Ronaldo's presence in the team has helped a lot. I really admire him because at his age he still plays very well, unlike many young players who can't help their country's national team.



This game just ended in a 1:1 draw.

South Africa with 17 points topping the group table. Now have automatically qualification to the 2026 World Cup tournament. While the rest team will struggle for the second place after which only one nation will qualify to play in the play off.

I confess that I was shocked when I saw that Nigeria was unable to beat South Africa. It was supposed that with the squad that Nigeria has, they would be able to qualify easily in this group. This raises the following question: could the problem not be with the coaches that Nigeria has hired? because in my opinion it seems that the Nigerian Football Federation should consider hiring a coach who has shown that he has managed to win many titles both nationally and internationally. Someone who knows Nigerian players well.
The super eagles underperformance has gone beyond expection, the most annoying part of everything is their inability to dominant the group with little competitive strength. A draw with South Africa today is never a sign they can qualify for the up coming world cup and keeping fans in a state of chaos without knowing the next thing to do.
The problem of the super eagles have gotten to a confused state  that know one could be able to identify the possible cause of the teams inability to perform when needed, looking at the issue now I think their will be need to revamp the coaching system giving room for a more competent coach to take over the team.
