1xBit recovered their reputation

You're from Africa and you don't support them?
That's a fatal mistake from you man.
Africans are just not having the right motivation and good government at the time though.
I hope Senegal brings up hope in the world Cup
Most African country's National clubs as underperforming because of the high corruption that has bedridden the football industry, check countries like Nigeria super eagle who have failed to qualify for the world cup because the players lack the necessary motivation to put in all the best legs forward and this is as a result of players not adequately taken care off by the sports ministry even some players pay for their bills when the sustained injury during matches, all this have contributed negatively to the overall performance of the team.
As that member rightly said it is hard for African teams to win the world cup rather there can just register their presence in the world cup.

I think they should be steps taken which will significantly improve the performance and also the mentality of the African countries to play football well as national teams. I don't know if that will be possible because corruption is a lot in those countries. And in some countries, it is quite hard to even survive. it's like they say, survival of the fittest.  and in that situation corruption is inevitable.

I think the Nigerian Football Federation appointed a new coach!
Someone told me the coach is a Portuguese coachhow true is this story ?
They should prepare very well for the next qualifies.
I have tried to make a search about  it am not get getting any update if nigeria has   a new coach. Nigeria just kind of coach that can make them win every trophy.  I really miss nigeria and Egypt not performing in the world cup.

i am from africa but i have to say that even if they were at the worlds they would not get far, it would be something like going to make a presence and come back empty handed, looking at the qualifications for the world cups from all areas of the continents it is clear that the African continent has the weakest teams and that is the fault of the corrupt leaders of africa. look at it as a great recent example: Didier Drogba was defeated in the elections to be director of ivory coast football, in his place of course was some corrupt or some guy from ivory coast politics, result? Ivory Coast soccer will continue like this

honestly I don't expect anything big from the African teams in this world. I'll cheer for Brazil or Argentina or even some other team in Europe

Most of the time, it is obvious the FA punishment is not sufficient enough because over the years this ugly attitude from fans is still prevalent.

Nigeria FA punishment is never harsh enough to make this teams stop. Most teams do not want there matches on television because they will be exposing them. If you run a poll on that with the local teams involved to find out which of the teams will want their matches shown live I can tell you that less than 30% will say yes. Also you know that most of the state FA chairmen have stakes in most of the teams. So how will they punish offenders? Nigeria local league is a big joke. It is the referees who get beaten up almost every week or the other I pity.

I don't see why nigeria fan should behave that way, game is about a winner and who lose and not a do or die affair.

It is the same hooliganism and poor attitude we see in the Nigeria local league, the NPFL where fans and home teams beat up visiting teams and match officials. There is a popular sports presenter in the country who calls the league The Nigeria Katakata League because of the weekly misbehaviors that is now constant. It is a shame that fans behave like football is no longer a fun thing but a do or die affair. Although Nigeria is not the only country punished by FIFA for misbehaviour during the Qatar 2022 world cup qualifiers. There are many others.
It's really annoying to see the unhidden display of football hooliganism and recklessness in the Nigeria Professional Football League. We have heard and see video clips and pictures of how fans  attacked and destroyed  the visiting teams bus when they get points from them.

Take away the financial implication, I doubt Nigerians do care even if they are given 10 games ban playing matches in closed doors.
The average Nigerian cares. Those who do not care if Nigeria plays her matches in closed doors or not are those who run our sports. All they care about is their salaries and allowances, and not what results they bring to Nigerians. The intervention we need now is for the president to step into sports matter and ensure that eyes are on the administrators and not to leave everything to the NFF because those ones are the same. The NFF will not do any positive thing as to retire or sack those who sabotaged our chances at the world cup because they all are birds of the same feather.
Well, the issue of money is not something that is only related to Nigerian football, I think that in every corner of the world there is this problem, we in South America call this the "thread", if it is not involved in the core of this, no You can include the benefits of the teams, normally it is the government who somehow put their hand in damaging things in sport, I imagine that football in Nigeria is growing every day, as it should be, but the lack of budget or the lack of support is evident, I think that also influences the qualification for the Cup, because the league is really very powerful.

I actually don't believe that it is the fault of the government. I believe it happens because some people in power are just too stubborn to refuse to do something like that.

And there will always be people like this who only care about money and nothing else. Because of these people, the progression of not only sports but also a lot of other activities is hampered.

And the players will always care about football because it is their profession and a person with even a small amount of brain always respects his profession.

African Champions League,
Semi Final
(CAF)

Today being 7/5/2022

      Full Time
Al Ahly vs Es Setif
     4        -          0
The match was very tough to the end. Although, the red devil had more ball possession and oppressed the opponent in the match. Amir Karaovi  took yellow card, and the referee went to the replay box and gave him red card again. So Es Setif was playing against 10 - 11. Al Ahly also got one yellow card. Though Es Setif also played well just that their goal keeper was not strong has their opponent keeper.

  P. Tau (goal scored time in the match 30 minutes), Taher Mohamed (goal scored time in the match minutes 54), Mohamed Sherif (goal scored time in the match minutes 72) P. Tau (goal scored time in the match minutes 90). P. Tau really played well in the match, in fact he was the man of the match.
If Al Ahly is strong as this, they will win this match and take the Golding cup in the tournament. I really recommend them for job well done. From the beginning when they have not even scored any goals I supported them to the end. Their midfield and the defend was very good.

FIFA has fined Nigeria N64 million (about 150,000 Swiss Francs) and play a match indoors for what fans did on the stadium after the Super Eagles of Nigeria failed to beat Ghana in their qualifiers for the Qatar 22 world cup on March 29, 2022. And I like it. It was stupid for fans to encroach on the pitch and cause destruction of the stadium. I know the fine will be paid from tax payers money but it will serve a warning to the federal government of Nigeria to ensure adequate security next time for matches.

What the Nigerian fans did was not good I commend fifa for the action they took, because if they stay silent without any penalty for the nigeria football federation,  it may likely happen again.  I don't see why nigeria fan should behave that way, game is about a winner and who lose and not a do or die affair.

One  question I ask myself on this is,

What is the fans take on this? How does it go I any length to teach the fans who are the perpetrators of this act a lesson?
Yeah, FIFA has done the most and surely, they were never meant to let the Super eagles go without some form of punishment but I strongly believe majority of the fans or at least some of them should have been caught and exemplified.

People tends to be a lot more responsible when the punishment for there actions is a lot more directed at them or ther families. Nigerians might be unfied under one Nigeria but make no mistake, most persons don't see it as family and as they aren't paying directly form there individual purse, they would care very little. It was a stampede situation and as such, getting the perpetrators would be difficult but it would have been a lot more nice, seeing fans pay for there actions.

It's such a wrong way to so solidarity on a lost course!

@Smartvirus if the fans can be identified then they should be banned for life from visiting any stadium in the country, and secondly they should be asked to pay a fine to the government as this will create fear in fans mind that they cannot vent like this ever again.

The fine of 150K Swiss Franc & a closed door game is a fair punishment for what the fans did - encroaching and violent display, destroying the stadium facilities after losing to Ghana in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Take away the financial implication, I doubt Nigerians do care even if they are given 10 games ban playing matches in closed doors.

I agree that the Nigeria’s government needs to be more careful, because such actions are not welcome and definitely should not be repeated ever, and I sincerely hope that they can catch the fans responsible for this and hand out punishments to them.

This expression is an act uncalled for by the fans, this is a wrong way of showing displeasure on something, although the NFF will take the responsibility for that because the supporters cannot be held responsible at a course, and i think the FIFA should as well work on the security matters of the National Stadiums across hosting country whenever international matchs like these were to be hosted especially in the developing countries.

This will also invoke more adherence to strictness on subsequent matches to be hosted in future and a high viewing ticket that could be the repercussions on the supporters and fans, this is not the first time a match is lost at home play, the entire football team and the governing authorities concern has to sit up to make implementation of policies that could serve the suitability of hosting a match in the country once more before it get banned by FIFA.

This is the right decision and I think that the Nigerian Football Federation should take this seriously because the next stage of punishment is either a fine for the team on the points earned in the next tournament or a complete suspension from the competition for any period. If I remember correctly, at one time such a large football federation as Italy was removed from the euro cups for several years due to the riots that the fans staged.
