African Football Discussion Thread Current Topic: 👉 FIFA WorldCup 2026.

[Rruchi man]

And guess what, the next world cup should be around 2030, but I can bet that the Nigerian football federation are currently not thinking of what to do before time. Our sporting system, so much believe in a fire brigade approach. They like to make preparations only when it's very close, and for a country that is way behind in terms of footballing participation, we shouldn't be taking same steps like other countries.

The next world cup is no more far and after this forth coming world cup tournament, it begins to count and what you have said about Nigeria football federation is true as they are always nonchalant and are only active last minute to action but however, coach Chelles seems to be preparing ahead and currently achieving his target by putting the house and team together ahead of time. Maybe Chelles knows better to do his work by holding a formidable team for action but the political wing of our sports industry always makes things difficult for them.

POLAND (1) - NIGERIA (1) (score at 54 minutes)

I personally think that the Super Eagles have solved the issue of a coach, and now it lies on our officials to throw their weight behind him and support him the best way they can through adequate financing and providing him with whatever else he wants because, from this game, I can see that there's a lot of potential in this team. Even without playing with key players, the Super Eagles are still playing very good football. They scored the first goal in the game, but they could not hold on to the lead. But there's still enough time to play in this game, and it looks very likely that they will be a winner, and that winner could be Nigeria. It will not count in the World Cup, but this sort of performance will always make the Super Eagles hungry to play in the World Cup when it comes next, so they will take qualifications more seriously than they've done before.

Nigeria didn't just utilize their opportunities very well and that's why it has caused them the chance of playing in the world 🌎 cup, the annoying part of their qualification journey is that they actually tried their best efforts very late at the time when they had already shortened and made the chance so slime that they were going to qualify through play off but unfortunately for them they couldn't meet up and they have all the quality players to qualify is the sad irony.

Eric Chelle was the main reason why the Super Eagles put in a lot of efforts at when our chances of qualifying to World Cup became slim, so I will say that Nigeria would have qualified to the World Cup if we had started with Eric Chelle at the beginning of the World Cup qualification. Eric Chelle is a good coach, the Super Eagles' performance has increased since he became our head coach, if the NFF can allow him to coach the Super Eagles till another Word Cup qualification the Super Eagles will easily qualify for next World Cup.

The game ended in a 2-2 draw in which Nigeria took the lead twice in both goals but the Polish team wouldn't accept defeat and they were able to equalise both goals one after the other. Of course, Eric Chelles has shown that he has the quality to pilot the Super Eagles to the world cup in 2030, all he needs is the support from NFA officials and the players in order to achieve this goal.

Erich Chille team has now played around 14 games unbeaten. Everyday I keep regretting why we did not sign Erich Cheille soon enough. This was our team B who almost finished Poland on their own soil.

Forget about the scoreline. Poland was nowhere close to what the Super Eagles displayed. We dominated in terms of possession, shot on target and personal brilliancy from each player.

Of course. Eric Chelle would made the team to qualify in the world cup. The way those boys played with Poland yesterday was good just that they still need to work on their defense. The second goal P. Wisniewski scored to equalized the match wouldn't be scored if the defense was good to defend the the ball. The Super Eagles matches recently is better than Senegal and Ghana who are in the world cup.

It was a brilliant performance from our players against Poland. Despite the fact the didn’t win the match, im very impressed with their performances. We dominated them throughout the match in term of everything, is just that we couldn’t maintain the winning way. They played against our second team because other players were not available for the game, I’m still wondering how many goals we can score against Poland, if our starting players were available to play.

I can see the reason why Poland didn’t make it to the World Cup. To be honest, we made a mistake for not getting Erich Cheille as our manager before the start of the World Cup qualifiers, if he was our manager from the beginning of the game, I have no doubt that Nigeria would be at the World Cup right now. But it is what it is, we go harder next time.

I didn't watch the game and also couldn't find any meaningful preview online. However, I read some reports and they confirmed that Poland created more chances but were not clinical in front of the goal. Some newspapers hinted that Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye also made some great saves. I share the same thoughts with you that Nigeria needs to work on its defense.  I am also pleased that Stanley Nwabali is facing stiff competition from Okoye.

Eric Chelle has maintained his unbeatable run in competitive regulation time as coach of the Super Eagles. If the Super Eagles keep training this way, I think they will do well in future endeavours.

The funny thing of all is that, the Super Eagles didn't play with their main squad and it happened to be a 2-2 draw which the Super Eagles dominated throughout the game. I am asking what if the Super Eagles played with their full squad, it would have been a win.

Nevertheless, I want to commend Eric Chelles for a job well done, for bringing out the full potential of the Super Eagles players. At least we can boast of the team and think highly of them to win matches

This was the players who were present in the game. There was no Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman in the game. The Polish defence would be pleased that both of them were not available. Nigeria has played against Poland just twice and Nigeria won the first time they met.

Nigeria's next friendly game will be against Portugal. This will be a more competitive game since Portugal is a high-ranking football country. Hoping the Super Eagles would beat them.

If I’m not mistaken, 10 teams from Africa are participating in the World Cup. There are many good teams among them, but after my own country, I’ll be support Côte d’Ivoire. That country’s legendary squad really impressed me for a while. Also, I’m curious to see performance of Christ Inao Oulaï, who plays for Trabzonspor in my country. I think he has the talent to make a big impact on the tournament...

[Dunamisx]

The Nigerian super Eagles does not need friendly match for anything as we stand than them making the nation proud again, even though they can start building the foundation of what they may try to achieve data in the future day, if the thing are capable of coordinating themselves in a manner that makes them to work in line with the coach, next world cup will not be a missing opportunity again for them, maybe this friendly matches will make them realize what the are up to by now.

With the leads the Super Eagles got in the game? They had a chance  to win that game but you can tell that the Super Eagles do not have a very strong team that can retain winnings for long, except if they get the lead towards the end of the game then they will be lucky to win, clearly I can say the eagles have a very poor defence and their  midfield needs some work to be done one it, it is only their strikers who we can say for sure has grate form and we wouldn't expect less from those intentional level strikers.  The Super Eagles has got some lot of work to do on that team to bringing  them back  to been the giants of Africa.
