Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
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.
Haven't you been following the tournament from the very beginning. Any Nigerian that watched every Super Eagle performance in previous matches knows that, it will take strong will and luck to win South Africa. Not because SA players are better than the Super Eagle players but because the Super Eagles have been very poor in creating chances so far. The hope of participating in the World Cup is long gone. They exhausted the only chance which was to win SA yesterday. Too bad, their fate has been sealed now.
