Is Eric Chelle saving the Super Eagles?

 A seemingly good start for Head Coach Eric Chelle following their two nil win over Rwanda on Friday 21st March, 2025 in their world cup qualifying group stage match. He was praised for a very good start winning his first match in charge of the Super Eagles.

Victor Osimhen opened scoring at the 11th minute of the game and completed his double and the only goals to be scored in the match at the 45+3 minutes of the first half. 

They were cheered despite missing numerous chances in the game. The sixth match of the group stage game was a game a home against the Zimbabwe national team. It was a game that maximum points were required to give the Eagles a hope of progressing and making to the world cup next year.

They were leading with a goal to nil till the eighty-ninth minute through a goal scored by Victor Osimhen at the seventy-fourth minute. They lost the lead at the ninetieth minute when the Zimbabwean team equalized through a mistake at the Nigerian defense. The game ended in a one all draw and see the Nigerian team on the edge of crashing out of the next world cup tournament.


Eric Chelle and his team were seeing to be visibly frustrated at the end of the match as they had expected more. But it seems that the expectation and the effort did not match at the end of ninety minutes.

Nigeria is however down to popular mathematical calculations and permutation on how to reach qualification. This is highly disgraceful for the giant of Africa. With the abundance of talent in the country, one would have expected a smooth qualification.

The new man in charge will be praying for miracle now as well as all Nigerians and lovers of the Super Eagles.

A sad day it is.

Barcelona Humiliates Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in 4:0 win

It has always been a heated encounter between the duo of FC Barcelona and CF Real Madrid whenever the meet for the El classico.  There is always the 'sibling rivalry' kind of situation between them. In the past years, it has been seen as one the bloodiest rivalries in football competitions. Later years has seen sanity and a bit of professionality between the teams when they play. The urge to always come at each other has reduced with each trying to play good football and come on top with a convincing win. In the last four competitive matches between the duo, Real Madrid has always come on top with good results against FC Barcelona. FC Barcelona have only just won the two friendly games played in between those four games. So the 2023/2024 season saw the Culers loosing both legs of the La Liga season to Real Madrid who later went on to win the league. The 2024/2025 season started with Madrid doing good numbers with the signing of famous names that included Mbappe from PSG in a fr...

UEFA probably envisaged a monumental victory for big teams who has been trail blazing on the big tournament but recently, the tourney has brought to bare some jaw dropping shows. On the recent events, the star studded Ream Madrid team in all it's glory was dismantled at home by AC Milan team. I believe nobody, not a single person saw this coming. The only goal they got in the match was a Penalty kick that was taken by Vinicius Jnr.  With the ever present Mike Maigan, the Madristas could not go past him as they were confronted by a firm wall. The goalie managed to Stop all the Madrid attackers including the Ballon dÓr runner up and also one of the best players, Mbappe.
