Nigeria's match against Rwanda, despite the win, has proven that Nigeria has no business in the 2026 World Cup—if we even manage to qualify. Honestly, they need to start paying us for watching Super Eagles matches because the whole team looked disjointed and confused.
Furthermore, Osimhen, who had scored Nigeria's last three World Cup qualifiers, was subjected to a harsh tackle. This led to his substitution in the 35th minute, raising concerns about his fitness for the South Africa match.
Back to the team’s performance: we couldn’t string two or more good passes together. The attacking responsibility was placed solely on Alex Iwobi, while the defensive midfielders failed to make any meaningful contribution in attack. On top of that, the right wing was basically non-existent.
South Africa currently leads with 16 points. Interestingly, the only time they dropped points was against Nigeria. Obviously, even if we defeat them, it would be almost impossible for them to slip up in their remaining matches. However, not all hope is lost for the Super Eagles, especially if Nigeria is awarded the three points from South Africa fielding an ineligible player.
Yes, we don’t deserve to be in the World Cup. But we will still hope to see Naija in the tournament—Amen.
