Hahahahah see whinnying. Jandor you be our own no wahala. But Omo shinedu obi yen don collect wotowoto

...sorry cutting in,, don't you think that the Jandor you called your own should have been the one to defeat the Omo shinedu you peeps are calling all sort of names? BTW the two, who really collect wotowoto?

... congrats Argentina, imagine France coach removing Giroud at 1st half in a crucial final match, forget about the comeback from France cos its apparent the French struggled on converting air balls after Giroud's sub... France played too deep allowing the Argentines pressure them the more...
... France thinks they can use same game plan as they did the Moroccans...
... Its clear to say that the Moroccans cooled off after the quarterfinals... cos they should have made good use of the scanty French midfield...
... mbappe really gave his all..imagine converting all the 3 penalties he took....

... France coach's really affected by his emotions, why remove Giroud that early... now griezman??..

... pls let France call the Saudi team to help rescue them...
Infact the Saudi Arabians should have just been handed automatic qualification to play Argentina in the finals so we enjoy a remarkable wc final match...

...pls let France call the Saudi team to help rescue them...
The Saudi Arabians should have just been given automatic qualification to play Argentina in the finals for us to enjoy a remarkable wc finals ....

Billionaire might be an exaggeration but millionaire is feasible. The idea is get money off gambling and invest in actual business.

...and when that actual business flourishes, the so called 'gambling' will drain the business. To cut things short, it's a cyclical process, and when one's not being careful cos of its addiction, the flourishing business suffers....

... France 0 v 1 Morocco ...
France pls Croatia is calling you to come join them for a repeat of 2018 World Cup finals in 'third place' so as to allow morocco play it's first ever finals of the fifa world cup tournament ....

Ejima1:

Argentina would have beaten Brazil too

... ok, I won't argue that either but you see, they would have had a tough game as Brazil wouldn't have settled for such a shambolic scoreline as the Croatians. And in the game of football, anything can happen. Brazil might still have won. It's just that the Brazilians threw their semifinals qualifications to the bin. In all, it's good the Croatians lost because they would have given us a repeat of Russia 2018 finals (flop) .... infact what Croatia knows how to do best is beating the top football countries and flopping when it matters most...

...pls let us thank Croatia for allowing Argentina a smooth ride/passage towards finals... that's why penalty is a game of luck, but u see Brazil, they really threw their semifinal qualification to the bin ... who knows Arg vs Brazil for sweet die .... but that's football, let's enjoy the moment ... its already over, this match Don defy the 90 minutes law of final whistle... lol this kind of match sef fit affect person grammar

... right now, Brazil suppose collect thorough beating for allowing Croatia give us a sour semifinal match... even if Argentina should win sef, at least let it be worth a semifinal game instead haba...

... Croatia should have just allow Brazil to qualify instead of turning caricature..

Seunfretty:
Some people will say mod is dillusional and NT making sense...well...i won't argue cos he didn't give tactical facts on wat he posted...now to the best of my ability i will give you reasons while France will struggle tomorow

To me i taught Portugal would have it easier ...yes...Portugal have one of the most technically gifted players in this tournament...players that can play between the lines superbly...players that can interchange passes with each other ...players with deft touch on the ball...low gravity players that u will struggle playing against ..lastly they have very good ball passers all round the pitch...Octavio...Bernardo..felix...Fernández...this plays can do many things and are so difficult to mark out when they combine infront ..and lastly let me re emphasize..."they can play in tight spaces well"....but with all this Morocco did a good job of shutting them out

Tomorrow it will be different but i don't tink France pose more danger.....someone could say MBAPPE....yes mbappe is super and very hard to play against ...and on his day can destroy a team on his own...but don't under estimate this Morocco.....they will be having a play on ground....the last match many will agree mbappes treat was reduce...

Mbappe thrives mainly in spaces upfront ...I don't see Morocco giving him much of that satisfaction tomorrow...again he loves interchanging passes very fast .... something Portugal is good at too but it never really splitted Morocco apart ..Morocco is compact ...solid and physical like we west Africans...lastly one other thing they are good at which will make France suffer is how they release each other on break...against Portugal even while they were pinned in there box and we're defending deep ..each time Portugal misplaced a pass..this guy's don't launch the ball forward to the point man like most of west African teams will ....they have a very beautiful way of working the ball out from the back even wen the opponent is hungry to get it's back...they are NT just going to loose the possession easily ..they have players with good hold up play and almost all of them are good dribblers ...

Like u will expect France will know all this and prepare more ...but believe me if any team can beat France as we speak ...Morocco is one...

Infact... you just analysed Morocco completely 'building up play from the back'

... its funny when pple still say any country who lose in the Semifinals 'is going home' .... sorry no one is going home, its either third place or finals...
It's either a
... Third place
Argentina v France
Finals
Croatia v Morocco
OR
Third place
Croatia v Morocco
Finals
Argentina v France
OR
Third place
Croatia v France
Finals
Argentina v Morocco
OR
Finals
Croatia v France = same as 2018 wc Finalists

... updated fifa ranking loading... Morocco should be moved up with immediate effect above Belgium cos that current ranking na scam...

Agbegbaorogboye:

Morocco excessive backpass? Are you sure?
France v Morocco will be interesting. Mbappe up against Hakimi, Giroud against Amrabat and the fact that France midfield is not the best you can think of while Morocco have a very hardworking midfield.
I see the match going to penalties

... yes, morocco need working on 'excessive backpass'.. and that have been their weakness so far as they prefer building up play from their own 18 and if you doubt me on this, you can watch their match against Spain and also Portugal so you see for yourself what I'm talking about..
.. Yes, France midfield isn't in shape at the moment, but morocco always sit deep and go for counter attack for tactical reasons and if you notice France game, they do have a more attacking pressure unlike Portugal, so let's see how it plays out. But I see morocco going through cos in most cases, France do struggle playing with francophone African countries..

Agbegbaorogboye:

Underrate how? Is there any player that's supposed to play for Portugal that didn't play?
Morocco were far better organized and tactical than they were. They even had better chances and should have killed the game.
Ronaldo is finished, both club and country. He should go to Saudi and rest but should be careful with their hijab girls else they cut off his wayward prick

... lol ..ok, I agree with you on this.. now let's look forward to morocco's prep against France. The Moroccans have been doing excessive backpass to their keeper most times which causes threats to them on their own goal post and that has to stop when encountering a high pressing France team aside that, Morocco needs to work on a one on one finishing, that Moroccan striker just wasted that ball and who knows, they might have paid dearly for it, had it been Portugal scored at last minute of the game...

Agbegbaorogboye:

Lol. Is that all he came to do?
Be a threat
Why then are you complaining
Portugal won the match through the threats now
In case you didn't watch the match, it's obvious Rinaldo's teammates are not thinking of him anymore when they're with the ball.
Dalot, Bruno and Leao made deliveries into the box without targeting Ronaldo.
That is why he's not scoring like before
He's teammates not longer work for him to take all the glory

... sorry, who said I'm complaining.. lol
It's just that the Portuguese underrated the Moroccans which was clearly apparent the way they played from the onset and they paid dearly for it. They think playing morocco is like playing Switzerland, Uruguay... funny enough, they even have to blame the ref again even after playing with a red carded team during the extra period of the game. I'm very happy morocco won even though I like cr7... And as for cr7 hmm well, its high time he just call it quit and focus on club football... the guy Don try abeg

Agbegbaorogboye:

Ronaldo was brought in the 58 min.
What did he do

He was a threat to the Moroccan defence, he even made the Moroccans lose focus on the right flank as Leo was taking good advantage of that flank, kudos to the Moroccan coach cos he had to remove ziyech..

... France still struggles when it comes to playing African countries, I really don't see them stopping morocco... especially when they meet francophone african countries...

adebwalex:


Who praise Ramos Who know Ramos, if Ronaldo had play that game from start, he will have still score and win the game. Why will the coach keep benching him at the workd cup?? Was messi Bench in Argentina. Keep your hatred for him under your bed and accept the fact that he his a threat to opponent...

You know football jaree, infact the truth is that Portuguese coach Santos was being carried away by their previous match against Ghana, Uruguay even Nigeria sef cos Korea gave them warning signs but you see that Switzerland match, just because they won by 6 goals to 1 without a goal from cr7, then all of a sudden the coach turn to Man utd coach 'ETH' by benching cr7 in a crucial match.... them think say na 2nd Switzerland dem wan play with again for Q/final or sorry '9ja' based on the friendly match and na Africa again.... You see, Portugals real world cup game is their match against morocco and if France like, let them underrate morocco....

... its good the coach isn't starting cr7... cos it seems ppl like pointing fingers at him.. now no cr7, the question is where are the Portuguese mass goals now... hmm maybe 2nd half

.. likely to be in the Semifinals = Brazil 99.9% C of Q over Croatia, Netherlands 85.5% C of Q over Argentina, Morocco 60% C of Q over Portugal, France 98.5% C of Q over England....

flemsy15:
5 European countries. If they win it again, then world cup is slowly becoming another Euro

... and it will definitely be called farmers cup..lol

...kudos to Morocco, but you see, the major problem in African football in most international scene is 'having the underdog mindset of victory over celebration' this affected the super eagles in France 98 wc, it also affected the Saudi Arabian team as well cos after winning Argentina, they relaxed a bit and its clearly apparent the way they (saudi) took their other two remaining matches.... We all know Morocco won yesterday, thanks to penalty shootout but truth be told, the Spanish team would have won the match due to Morocco's excessive 'back pass' errors and last minute attempt just slightly hitting the goal post... If morocco takes the Portuguese side, the way they played Spain, then I'm sorry they might just be sent packing..

...yes, morocco is Africa's best representative in the on-going FIFA wc ...

...yes, I said it from my previous post, morocco might just be the first african country to reach the semifinals of the fifa wc...

Morocco 2 v 1 Spain ...
Maroc might just be the first african side to reach the semifinals?
If morocco can defeat Spain today... hmm who knows
..from my own perspective, I really don't see Portugal/Switzerland a threat to Morocco (if maroc wins today) in the Q/finals.....

Let's start from the 1986 FIFA world cup hosted by Mexico, picking the African country that have really made good outing in a fifa world cup edition from 1986 to present

Mexico 1986 = Morocco (Africa's best)

Italy 1990 = Cameroun (Africa's best)

Usa 1994 = Nigeria (Africa's best)

France 1998 = Nigeria (Africa's best)

Korea Japan 2002 = Senegal (Africa's best)

Germany 2006 = Ivory Coast ( Africa's best)

South Africa 2010 = Ghana (Africa's best)

Brazil 2014 = Nigeria (Africa's best)

Russia 2018 = Senegal ( Africa's best)

And now the current Qatar 2022, which of these African countries (Morocco, Cameroun, Tunisia, Ghana, Senegal) would you pick to stand out as Africa's best in the on-going FIFA world cup...

juman:
Before african country can win world cup our football have to develop pass the embryonic stage.
First our national leagues have to be classic.

Spot on..

Charley2020:

Perhaps you're right. I didn't watch Cameroon's games so can't speak to that.

Its just a shame, Senegal being current African champions can't match up these bunch of overhyped English team
