Nigeria’s World Cup hopes need a miracle! Imagine this: tiny Rwanda just stunned South Africa 2-0 in a massive upset during the 2024 World Cup qualifiers. Nigeria, on the other hand, only scraped two points in Group C. Cue the worry—could they miss out again?
Peseiro’s still leading the Super Eagles, despite not being paid for months! Can a coach guide a team to victory when they’re not even getting their paychecks? Maybe Peseiro’s not the issue; it’s the sports ministry and NFA calling the shots. They might as well be casting a spell on Nigeria’s World Cup hopes!
Innocent Nshuti and Gilbert Mugisha sealed Rwanda’s win, shaking up the standings. South Africa missed a chance to boss the group, and now Rwanda’s leading with four points, leaving Bafana Bafana in second and Nigeria in third.
Lesotho, Zimbabwe, and even Benin Republic are breathing down Nigeria’s neck, all eyeing that crucial World Cup spot. And guess what’s coming up next? Nigeria vs. South Africa.
But hold up! Before that, AFCON’s around the corner. Some players, like Osimhen, might be thinking twice about playing for a country whose leaders seem allergic to success.
While other nations progress in football, Nigeria appears to be lagging, hindered by a tough environment that affects its sporting endeavors.
