Gabriel Osho Believes Super Eagles Can Bounce Back and Qualify for 2026 World Cup
Super Eagles defender Gabriel Osho has expressed confidence that the team will secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Nigerian national team, known for their talent and passion, have yet to win a match in Group C after four games, leaving them in fifth place in the standings.
The Super Eagles, a team that has long been regarded as one of the powerhouses in African football, have faced criticism for their performance so far.
However, Osho remains optimistic and determined to see the team rise above their challenges.
Speaking to Flashcore, he mentioned the squad’s potential and their focus on bouncing back stronger in upcoming matches.
“We need to concentrate on both the World Cup qualifiers and the Africa Cup of Nations,” Osho said.
Reflecting on their recent performances, he emphasized the team’s commitment to improvement.
“After the last competition, our objective is clear; progress and ultimate victory.
I believe we have the talent to achieve that.”
“Our team’s quality is arguably the best on the continent.
Now is the time to demonstrate that on the global stage,” he added, urging his teammates to showcase their skills and determination in the matches ahead.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
