Former defender Abbey George fears Nigeria might miss the World Cup again. He played for Nigeria years ago but never made it to the biggest soccer stage. Abbey wants his country to beat both Rwanda and Zimbabwe in their next games. He hopes the current players can achieve what he never did during his career.

Nigeria sits near the bottom of their group with just four points after four games. The team that won the African Cup back in 2013 keeps dropping points. They tied three matches against Lesotho, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Their only other result was a loss to Benin by a score of 2-1.

Abbey George told Brila Media he wept alone when Nigeria failed to qualify before. His children ask whether he ever played at the World Cup, and he must tell them no. He believes the current Nigerian stars would regret missing their chance during their prime playing years. These athletes need to turn things around fast.

The Super Eagles must win their upcoming match in Rwanda against coach Amrouche's team. Then they face Zimbabwe at home in the Godswill Akpabio Stadium. New coach Eric Chelle picked thirty-nine players for these crucial games. He searches for the right combination to save their campaign. Nigerian fans feel anxious as another World Cup absence would deeply hurt national pride.
