Why John Obi Mikel Was Frustrated by Super Eagles’ World Cup Miss – John Terry Explains
Chelsea legend John Terry has shed light on why John Obi Mikel felt so upset when Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Despite topping expectations in qualifiers, the Super Eagles stumbled in Group C and then lost a deciding shootout to DR Congo in Rabat. Coaching changes, administrative disputes and bonus disagreements all took their toll on the campaign. According to Terry, Mikel’s growing career as an analyst left him disappointed that he would miss out on covering his home nation on football’s biggest stage. “I know Obi Mikel is very upset that they are not there,” Terry revealed. “It means he can’t do more commentating on the World Cup. That’s why he was upset.”
