foolish and stubborn enrique
nico and morata linked up twice already but the fool was content with a foolish false 9 experiment with foolish asensio and dead ferran

Enrique na stubborn goat. Why is Olmo not making runs into the box to support Morata.
Bring in Carvajal and push both full backs, play Williams and Olmo as supporting strikers and you’ll win this game

Why is Enrique playing Pedri as right back??

Enrique is keeping both Toress and Olmo wide and they’re not making any runs. Tuck them in so that you are not forced to play wide and win this game

Havertz10:

No be small thing

Penalty na just one kind game. Remember playing one in our final inter house game back in secondary school.

First guy from our team missed and the moral of everybody just went down. Played and scored mine of course but the pressure na another thing. Whole school dey watch you. Imagine not being watched by those in the stadium but the whole world.

I have not seen enough intelligence or discipline in Mbappe's game to assume he will surpass Messi or Ronaldo...He needs to improve his movement and heading ability so he can easily transition into a CF when he loses his pace however, all that won't be necessary if he can win a couple of UCL's and at least one world cup before retirement...

His next career move is very important. The only thing he has going for him is his performance with the national team especially the world cup win else every other thing he does with PSG bar a UCL triumph will count for nothing...

If Mbappe doesn't leave PSG for an elite team in Spain or England, only a UCL win will guarantee him a Ballon d'Or as everything he does in France will go unnoticed...

There’s a couple of limitations in his game compared to Messi and Ronaldo with him not scoring free kicks for starters but World Cup whether one likes it or not is the ultimate price in the game and he already has one and is very much on pace to shatter that highest goal scorer record. Slap a bunch of UCLs, balon dors and a 500+ goal record to that and nobody will care if he played in Ugandan league

Be deceiving yourself with your full chest

European qualifiers is even the most easiest ,with san Marino and co dishing out awof points to everyone

European champions didn’t make the World Cup because of almighty North Macedonia, lol. Even Poland that’ll be scrapping the bottoms at CONMEBOL is a regular at tournaments.

The way people dey people hype the number of countries playing the qualifiers is very laughable as if Uefa didn’t create a special competition just to give the rest of the bums a chance of competitive football.

Sportsweb:
Lol.

The new and young generation will decide.

Just like this current generation worship Messi and Ronaldo and some even mock Pele, saying 80% of his goals where offside while those that watched Pele still insist he is the GOAT.

That's how the younger generation will hype Mbappe or Haaland to high heavens above your Messi or Ronaldo when they retire

No lies. Some have even started it right now

BlueMann:
Messi rolled back the years today, as he's done a lot this season. Amazing performance.

Lautaro will continue to remain on the bench. Messi created two big chances for him alone, but he wasted both, as well as other good opportunities. Alvarez surely starts in the QF

Not the most convincing display but to be fair, Australia didn't have much of a sniff till the closing stages.

Netherlands will be a bigger challenge, but I'm confident.

Best I’ve seen Messi play since he left Barcelona

Why is nobody using the blueprint of Saudi Arabia to play Argentina? They look very uncomfortable and unsettled under pressure

Leyqute:
What chance to qualify?

Serbia has to win Switzerland before they can qualify.

Guy probably pulled off his shirt knowingly.

He was benched for the first 2 games and started the 3rd as captain.

Coach realized his mistake and tried to pacify him with the armband.

Even when the coach come greet at after him score, e no look him side.

Song na fool and he Single handedly cost Cameroon this World Cup.

Aboubakar was arguably the best player in Afcon and has put in very good stats for Cameroon this year but starts on the bench at the World Cup. Who does that?

Secondly how do you pick a sweeper keeper, then suddenly mid tournament, decide you don’t like his playing style anymore. If a keeper don’t fit your style, you simply don’t call him up like Enrique did with De Gea. Players are not going to change their playing style over night that’s the reason you pick your desired squad and dude had months to do it.

Lastly, everything is handled in house. You don’t publicly come out and say you dropped your keeper and that’s the motivation you used to play a game. You quietly drop him and deal with the situation after the tournament. Kicking your players out mid tournament is as stupid as it gets

What was Song thinking not playing Aboubakar from game 1

This Cameroon side are very indisciplined and that’s what will cost them this match. Zero link up between the midfield and attack is another issue they’re having

Leyqute:
A winter World Cup in Scandinavia will impact a lot of teams. It’s only okay for tropical areas.

But do you think it’s making a huge impact in terms of the way results have really panned out so far in terms of smaller teams having a better shot?

What do you guys think of this winter World Cup? Is this another lane fifa should be thinking of?

Ghana had a golden chance to truly equalize the game and blew it

Ghana na idiots. Perfect time to equalize and this fools are playing out for a draw

raumdeuter:
England that is filled with EPL players when was the last time they won any tournament
At least Bundesliga players won the world cup for Germany in 2014

They won the World Cup at the peak of their powers with a lot of players in their prime. Who’s replacing Klose, Lahm in this German team?

Where is that replacement going to come from?
The league is not producing and exporting enough players and when players like Werner emerge, they struggle outside the league cause the competition made them look great when they’re not. The ones that remain are immediately snatched up by Bayern.

This things are not coincidence. Musiala is the star of this German team at 19yrs with nobody else supporting. In the next 2yrs, Euros will be played. Where will Germany get the players then?

Ballzproblem2:
long time ago,I told that old nigga that German league is Farmers league,world cup don confirm am

Even Bastain Schweinsteiger said yesterday that Rudiger is the only world class defender in that team and others are Bundesliga level defenders.

League with zero competition specializing in poaching everything from manager to reserves. They also are directly involved in selection of players in the national team with Low and Hansi Flick accused of being biased towards Bayern players for national team selections.

The sooner they open up their league for investments so young players can grow and competition can set in, the better for them

andrewbaba44:
He knows ,but he should keep deceiving himself ,they can call him whatever ,we love our guardiola ,sorry fraudiola

We have seen the money they have spent ,shebi it’s by money

I also see people talking about the fact that he had Messi and the Barcelona team. Roberto Martinez has proven you can have all the talents in the world but if you are a shiit coach, you’re not winning anything

andrewbaba44:
Sterling never scored 10 epl goals at Liverpool

Sterling never scored 10 epl goals at mancity under pellegrini ,man was even outscored by iheanacho

The rest is history with guardiola

Dead or alive you have no winger that has played for your club in the past 10 years with sterling manicty stats under guardiola ,even your hazard could not get 20 league goals a season

But you all said Haaland will struggle at the epl and will also struggle at Chelsea ,but we don’t have the right to tell you Haaland is stat padding at man city because of pep

Bro stop contradicting yourself abeg ,you are just blinded by your deep hate for the man who turned your league to farmers league

You have spent millions while you are struggling at 8th position ,it can never my my guardiola ,even with akanji and serigio Gomez ,Julian Alvarez who where all cheap ,they are outperforming your big money signings

People pretend to hate Guardiola but will take him at a heartbeat. All that he spends money nonsense is already out of the window cause their clubs have spent with zero results.

Man city are no fools to give him new contracts. Man City without Pep will heavily struggle cause there’s a dearth of quality managers at the moment not to talk about anybody that will fill his shoes at Man City.

MorataFC:
This is the first time I'm hearing this, what arrant nonsense is this? Is Bayern bigger than the national team? To hell with them (Bayern)
Abeg let me nationalise from being a German to Argentine for now.

Yes, it’s a thing. You can google it

Kilishihunter:
I honestly expected MATS to start ahead of Neuer for their last game but what do we know? If they like let them still keep the latter in ice to be first choice until the 2024 Euros being hosted in their home, Neuer na GOAT but he should be resting now, Same with busquets

MATS should’ve been played from match day 1. He’s in very decent form coming into the competition and offers something different than Neuer. Neuer is turning out to be Buffon. Keepers that don’t know when their time is up and should give way for others.

Busquets too. Lost a couple of possessions today. Rodri is a perfect replacement but same loyalty is what will kill Enrique

Sportsweb:
As if Barcelona bias isn't killing Spainish national team

Barcelona bias but Spain were semi finalist at the last Euro and are at R16 of this World Cup.

Besides apart from Busquets, Enrique has really mixed things up very well and have dropped non performing players. Bayern literally threatened their national team if Bayern players don’t play. You don’t see Barca or Madrid doing the same and it’s no surprise seeing them struggle at tournaments

andrewbaba44:
Neuer also cost Germany the 2018 World Cup,despite not playing football for more than 12 months he was a starter immediately the World Cup started

Na the Bayern bias dey kill Germany. Remember the whole Bayern president threatening not sending players to the national team because of Neuer.

Musiala, Musiala person no go hear word. Pulling a MOTM when it mattered most, no be dribbling and booting the ball out of the stadium

Pep said it best. You cannot play with the same squad, season in season out. Look at all the top nations that have underperformed and see their squads.

Germany has Neuer and Muller. Neuer cost them this tournament with horrendous goalkeeping but nobody will talk about it cause his name is not Ter Stergen. Muller has no business playing with them and should’ve retired after Euros.

Same problem with Uruguay. Having a squad with Cavani,Suarez,Godin,Caceres is begging for disaster.

Same thing with Belgium. Same squad since the tournament at Brazil. No changes, nothing.

Lana1:
Uruguay too. Like half the team is >= 35

The same squad that played 2010 World Cup is playing in 2022. What is Godin, Suarez, Cavani,Caceres doing in a World Cup squad in 2022?

donstan18:
I told them that no DM dead or alive from Bundesliga will match Busquet in anyway and they brought Kimmich.

Busquet that completed football by 2012.

Adiwana:
Flick has been terrible as German NT. manager but nobody wants to talk about it

Shebi I talk am

I need Germany out of this World Cup and so far it’s happening

Sportsweb:
What am saying is that the Man United guy made it look like Argentina can't defend well without Martinez. That without Martinez their entire defence will crumble

Let’s be fair, 0 shots on target wasn’t because Argentina’s defense was great. Poland could barely cross the half way line throughout the whole game.

Somebody here was talking nonsense about Lewandoski in this polish side. Crucial game with 0 shots on target.

10 men behind the ball with Lewandoski still dropping in to link up. How are they going to win with such rubbish set up? How is he going to perform if he is being marked out by 4 players immediately he receives the ball with no help.
