  • NIGERIA TO QUALIFY FOR 2026 WORLD CUP BASE ON PAR MUTATIONS

    NIGERIA TO QUALIFY FOR 2026 WORLD CUP BASE ON PAR MUTATIONS

    Nigeria’s match today against South Africa shows how consistent the South Africa’s team is for FIFA WORLD CUP qualifiers and how Nigeria team is in preparation for the World Cup. Although the game went straight, as recorded Nigeria never lost to South Africa at home, but the draw wasn’t actually what Nigeria needed to qualify. The hope of qualifying for Nigeria now is on par mutations that if Lesotho can beat Benin today by 8pm Nigerian time, which I think is not sure, but if that happens, Nigeria will be in second on goal difference but otherwise go into third position. The consequence of this, Nigeria needs to their two remaining matches against Lesotho and Benin and also hope others in their group drop points.

    How many World Cup spots are up for grabs for Africa?

    The Africa World Cup qualifying is arranged into nine groups of six nations.

    The nine Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) group winners secured direct entry to the World Cup while the four best runners-up will participate in an intercontinental playoff for the possibility of securing a 100th spot at the tournament.

    Of the nine African groups, only Morocco and Tunisia have already qualified for the next year’s World Cup finals in North America.

    How the game goes today

    South Africa showed an outstanding performance with 56%to 44% on ball possession, with it clears they got their goal 25 minutes through an own goal from Nigeria’s Troost-Ekong and the Super Eagles bounced back shortly before half-time via a controversial header from Bassey.

    Nigeria would have won the game with chances just look at biggest chances for Arokodare!! The ball went across face of goal!

  • Ronaldo and Messi closing on the top spot in the FIFA World Cup

    Ronaldo and Messi closing on the top spot in the FIFA World Cup

    Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are very close to writing history in the FIFA World Cup qualifying game to become the man with most goals in FIFA World Cup qualifying games.

    Although Carlos Ruiz is the man with the most goals in FIFA World Cup qualifying games with 39 goals and just 47 games, a wonderful performance. He was a member of the Guatemalan national team from 1998 to 2016. Guatemala 🇬🇹 This is a country in Central America


    Cristiano Ronaldo is two goals away from becoming the man with the most goals in World Cup qualifying with 48 games and 38 goals.He is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward. Portugal 🇵🇹 is a country in Europe


    Lionel Messi needed 4 extra goals to become the man with the most goals in World Cup qualifying with 72 games and 36 goals.He is an Argentine international player who plays as a forward. Argentina 🇦🇷 is a country in South America.

    All Daei is in the 4th position on the list with 51 games and 35 goals.He is an Iranian former professional footballer who played as a striker. Iran 🇮🇷 is a country in Asia.

    Gullit on Messi and Ronaldo performance: “Messi or Ronaldo?” Look, I believe Cristiano Ronaldo is a pure idol for every single kid because of how hard he works. Lionel Messi is just a freak of nature like Maradona. But Ronaldo really worked super hard.

    Van Basten’s view on both : “Ronaldo worked hard, but do people forget that Messi is also still playing football? The man is 38. He lives for his sport just as much as Ronaldo and works just as hard. Because you can’t be as good as Messi at the age of 38 without working hard.
