Nigeria’s Moses Simon Confident Super Eagles Can Qualify for 2026 World Cup Despite Slow Start
Nantes and Nigeria winger Moses Simon has expressed optimism that the Super Eagles have the quality needed to secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite their challenging position in the qualifiers.
With four games played and no victories yet, Nigeria sits in fifth place in their group, holding just three points. However, Simon remains confident in the team’s abilities.
“We have the quality, we have what it takes to win,” the 29-year-old told BBC Sport Africa. “We don’t believe that we are not going to the World Cup.”
He also mentioned the impact of missing key players in recent matches and believes their return next year will boost the team’s chances.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
