Pastors don’t get paid for preaching.

Some get paid for pastoring, full time. Completely different things.

Lol... So, what's the big deal paying an instrumentalist who has no other income source?!!

concho:
Congo wasted no Opportunity

They did all they could

Okay sir... I have said what I said.

Onto this game.

Lol... That means Pastors, priests and vicars being paid to serve as clergymen will be poor for life.

I don't indulge in calling out clergymen like this guy, but it always amazes and amuses me how they selectively preach against things that are an inconvenience to them personally, not necessarily because those things are scripturally disavowed.

Senegal, if you like waste this golden opportunity like DR Congo did earlier today.

Belgium suppose collect wetin no good for this game.

Kalulu44:
I just wonder what some people are watching with us

Leave these EPL asslickers.

Rice and Anderson were pathetic today, and have been average since the tournament started.

frog12:
Vinicius pass am. Vinicius is consistent.

Kane is over hyped. he kicks like chicken. dem bribe those Congo players for giving him space for that box.

Hahahahahahaha... What?!!

Abeg abeg... I don laugh lose strength to respond to you.

You be comedian sha.

Kalulu44:
You don't have to result to insult to air your views.
Which Mbappe are you calling here.
Has Mbappe outscored Harry Kane in the last three seasons?
And lastly, is Mbappe a striker in the mold of Kane?
Kane has been consistent for the past 10yrs and you think he's overhype.
.
I repeat again, no striker is up to him including Mbappe. Mbappe and co are behind.

Lol... You can tell the age of these "experts" from the weird comments they make about football.

frog12:
Kane is over hyped like beckham

E no match vinicius

You say?!!

You suppose spend 2 years mininum in Kirikiri max for that statement.

Harry Kane?!! Haba! Wetin we no go hear for Seun forum.

geoworldedu:
Abegi, it's their time. All these analysis now will be scattered few years to come. The same Morocco will become like water again. No be today. Shebi Ghana almost got to Semi in 2010 if not for Suarez's decision to turn to keeper and Asamoah losing the penalty. After then, where is Ghana today?

Nigeria too rose to 4th or 5th in the world around 1994 to 1996. Where are we today?

Every African nation have a time to spark.

You are right sha... I can't even argue with you on this.

Cameroon with Roger Milla was a global football force.

Africa matter dey taya person.

Kalulu44:
My friend will you keep kwayet, those players would have created chances upon chances than what we saw now.
Did you see England do anything from middle apart from going wide and relying on crosses

England has no MIDFIELD!

Absolutely no single creativity and distribution down that middle. It's an eyesore.

Willie2015:
Morocco is good becos of the following reasons -

1.Unmatched Infrastructure and Funding
2.The European Diaspora Scouting Network
3.Professional Domestic League Structure

Morocco has model its system to match what we have in Europe, its a structured
national project.

U cant match this level of structured system
with other African nations like Congo that rely primarily on natural talent or individual player breakthroughs in Europe

Depth means overall quality and quantity of players in a team.

Lol... okay.

Let's keep making excuses na.

I heard these excuses when Morocco was nowhere near top 20 in the world... Today, they have taken themselves up while the rest of us are still making excuses.

That said... In today's game, that meant nothing... If Congo had maintained that pressure and taken their chances, England would have been disgraced out.

Senegal did it to France in 2002... Morocco dusted out Portugal last world cup.

Self belief can do wonders... Go and watch how Mexico plays.

Omoawoke:
Why don’t you go kick the ball if you knew any better…

Congo played very well today and they are meeting one of the best teams in the world…
Why didn’t you cry when Croatia lost 4-2 to them?
It’s not about mediocrity, it’s about making use of what they have and they did everything…

You are comparing Congo to England where they have the resources and funding for talent development and have primier league to Congo that has been exploited and still being exploited for years… maybe you don’t know what’s happening in Congo presently

Actually, I kick the ball... And I have played the game well enough to know, not that it matters.

You don't need to play to speak the facts if you read the game.

If Cape verde and Ecuador had such mindsets, they would never have qualified from their groups.

Morocco didn't become 6th in world ranking by condoning mediocrity.

My issue with Congo was dropping the ball (literally) after going ahead... They had the game in their hands, England was shell shocked and reeling.

They had a rare chance to finish them but chose to revert to deep defending... This makes no sense at all.

frog12:
you know dem put USA for the easiest group.
so also Canada

Well, that's usually the way it goes with grouping.

That's why some host nations hardly ever win the tournament.

Kemetian:
STOP THIS "AFRICANS" NONSENSE.

IN FOOTBALL YOU LOSE GAMES, SOMETIMES DUE TO SHEER LUCK, EG WISA'S BALL THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 2-0 CONGO.

OR DUE TO THE FACT YOUR OPPOSITION HAS A SPECIAL STRIKER LIKE HARRY KANE.

OR MBAPPE.

OR VINICIUS.

OR HAALAND.

NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PROBLEM IF YOUR OPPOSITION HAS A PLAYER LIKE THAT.

See ehn... Getting upset about the truth is not my fault.

How many African teams have gone the distance in the history of the world cup?!!

Even star-studded teams like Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal and Ivory Coast still play averagely at the big stage


Abi, you want to argue that these teams I mentioned lack experienced, seasoned and exposed players?!! So, what is their excuse?!!

Even Mexico doesn't have the quality of depth some of our African nations possess... Please don't argue, just do some damn research!

Any small thing or criticism of our embedded mediocre way of doing things, una go begin dey para...!

LordLicifer:
really? How come?

North America is hosting, not just America.

USA
Canada
Mexico

LordLicifer:
Which fortress of a stadium? Is the match not played in America?

Nope... In Mexico City.

This tournament is hosted by North America, not America only (pun unintended).

So, America (US), Canada and Mexico.

Willie2015:
Too much respect from where...

Those Congo defenders were tired.. in the 2nd half...

To even mark Kane was a problem....

How many real live football have u played, believe and fight...and win..

Analysis dey sweet for mouth...

Everything comes to depth....of your team

What depth sir?!! Those defenders sitting on the bench were there for what?!! Decoration?!!

Stop excusing mediocrity abeg.

No wonder Morocco has left the rest of you Africans behind.

tonididdy:
I beg to differ
England is on cruise mode... More like a nonchalant aura

They just need to find harrykane, it's that'simple for em

No wahala... That's why they won't smell this trophy.

They should keep cruising and playing rubbish.

Reference:
Rashford played a very selfish game, desperately trying to be a hero. Should sit in the loo till he is purged.

You see that Rashford, with regards to selfishness, he is beyond redemption.

Tuchel should just bench him next game.

franchasng:
Black Africans lack speed and agility. They are always sluggish and slow.


Maybe its our food or culture or how our brain is wired. It's not normal, its a pattern and its not about inferiority complex

Nope... Not speed, but football intelligence.

The fastest and most skilled players are either African or of African descent.

Africans need to sharpen their football skills by improving their approach to the game.

Only Morocco understands this.

dominique:
African teams need to rid themselves of this inferiority complex mentality when playing European teams. They play like they're afraid to go full attack.

Only Morocco understands this truth...!

Every team can be beaten if you take the game to them.

DR Congo made a huge mistake by losing steam.

Well, the Mexico I saw last night won't make that mistake... England should just sit up, cos they have not been spectacular at all in this tournament.

femi4:
At least drag the game to ET, they couldnt

They just showed England way too much respect... Play them ball, let the worst happen.

Smh!!!

Willie2015:
That's part of the depth...

Harland did it yesterday. Its Kane now...

If England dont have a Kane in that No 9 ..they cant beat this Congo team..

Thats what it will always comes to.....

Now tell me who dey Congo team that can carry the team in this type of scenario...

Bro, Kane apart, nothing dey this England team... Absolutely NOTHING!

Congo showed them wey too much respect. For what reason?!!

Who really dey Morocco or Paraguay?!! Yet, they bested far more experienced and star-studded teams.

Sometimes, you just have to believe and FIGHT!

Die fighting, rather than limp off losing.

Well, I trust Mexico to teach these English Pretenders a lesson or two in R16.

femi4:
Same story...African teams after the 80mins mark always lose concentration when it matters

Game don end

Game wey Congo for shut down with another goal while England was shell shocked and playing nonsense.

Instead they chose to needlessly defend.

Now, they are going home when they could have made real history.

Kalulu44:
And it has come back to hurt them

Shebi I talk am?!!

No way that equalizer wasn't going to cripple Congo and buoy England to go for the jugular.

African teams must cultivate self belief... Smh!!!

As predicted... England scores.

What did I say?!!

It's game over!

Willie2015:
It seems u dont play football.....

Ur team must have the depth in terms of key players to keep pressure...

If u dont have that...u ve to park the bus.....and hope for the best.

I play football sir.

Parking the bus is not the issue, but Congo had these people on the ropes for several good minutes, and kept tossing chances away.

ppogba:
Oga Angel, which yeye stain? Dem carry two heads?

As my people will say, " na snake pikin wey dey snake belle dey kill snake".. Some of the DR Congo players na dia small pikin nao.
Chancel
Bissaka
The Man U reject in defence amongst others.

Most importantly, it is good for them to know that African football is growing and not as they left it when Zaire were murdered when they went for the first WC.

If all of them like including Oga Charles, make Dem no chop dis night.

You don talk am finish...! Africa to the world.

Argentina might be in for a shocker if they are not careful too.

Reference:
African teams and the wahala of sustaining success.
It is exceptionally difficult to contain for 70 minutes. Their counterattacking strategy was non existent.

They became so casual after the second half started... This is what I said earlier.

It's all too common with African teams, including Nigeria.

Mexico took the lead against Ecuador, but kept the pressure up till they sealed the game with that second goal.

Congo had the chance to do just that in this game, but chose to be relaxed and defend needlessly.

Like, how do you think you can defend against England for 90 minutes?!!

Pity... England has won this game.

Rayjay45:
Scotland bought Congolese jerseys to spite England sef

Hahahahaha... Those werey people.

Una see wetin I dey talk since?!!

Tell me how or what will stop England from winning now.

Won't even be surprised if Congo keeps defending like winning via penalties is guaranteed.


Mtchewwwww.

Willie2015:
Its not easy on the field..like that

na mouth he dey easy.... to analyze

I never said it was easy... But, wasting chances or parking the bus after winning backfires more often than not.

Why not keep the pressure for some more time at least.

Now, see am... England has equalized.
