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.
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
Popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on retirement and shares how he actually thought of retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup.
“I thought about retiring from international football after the World Cup, but I spoke to the president, coach, and I am still here. I am an asset, I can help.”
He adds, “The young kids love me because they see me as an example, and that, for me, is the most important thing. I will continue to do that even when I retire after 10 years.”
Footballer Kylian Mbappé shares that he actually came close to signing with Liverpool.
“I was close to Liverpool. My mum was a big fan of Jurgen Klopp, and the favourite destination for my mum was Liverpool. She wanted me to go there,” Mbappé told The Athletic.
“I didn’t listen because I wanted to play in my city, Paris. I didn’t want to leave my country before I was someone. But yes, my mum was always saying, ‘Liverpool — you’re going to be there, playing at Anfield, it’s going to be insane for you.’ I was like, ‘OK!’
“All the time we were talking. ‘What do you think, Mum?’ She’d say, ‘For me, you have to go to Liverpool.’ I said, ‘OK, OK, OK!’ because Jurgen Klopp was an amazing manager. I met him and had a wonderful relationship with him. I had big respect for him.”
