Both teams leaking goals 3-2 😂

2-2 what a game

What a goal 1-1

minfelix:
If DRC weren’t trutly tested by world number 5th team, then its safe to say DRC is a top contender for the world cup cos like this its only Germany,France and Argentina that can give them that test😂🤣🤣…
Babaaa DRC is a f###king discipline team…They almost qualified ahead of senegal in their group stage…omo lets just accept that DRC is gradually joining the strong force of africa o…
The way they rallied back to equalize 1-1 against Portugal and most especially against Super eagles was scary…after equalizing us them come turn us to Capeverde…i shed tears seeing Nigeria holding on for their lives via ultra-defensive style UNDER ERIC CHELLE🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let’s see how they fair in other games but I can’t make conclusions yet with today’s game cos in the game against Jamaica for their play offs they weren’t that inspiring. I wish them the best sha but not too convinced yet

minfelix:
How Algeria take beat this DRC team self…they are very strong like mad

Portugal was poor I can’t say DRC was truly tested today.

Odunayaw:
DRC is playing nonsense. Finish this guys fa

Big opportunity to collect maximum points but throwing away chances like Senegal yesterday
Portugal just need one moment of brilliance and they will be home and dry

Ororo 😂 God abeg

Portugal make Una beat this team for us na

9JAMac10:
Ronaldo please leave the football before the football leaves you

😂 ha ha ha

minfelix:
Portugal go dey here DRC go beat them… they are not good like that jare…Presence of Osimhen,Lookman etc would have seen us taken something from that game

Very true when some of us said our performance especially in the second half was poor many were arguing!

Toylove:
Where that chelle voodoo meme.
Na Wetin cause am be that 😂

Don’t play that’s my usual

minfelix:
This game is looking like the replica of our friendly with portugal 😅

Congo must have studied and watched that game with what they are playing

TheSuperNerd:
What did I say again about Yoane Wissa? Fearless and capable.

DRC have responded well to going down to be fair. They worked hard off the ball while Portugal had all the possession and restricted the Portuguese threats.

DRC's first WC Goal in their history. The name is Yoane Wissa.

That’s how your big players should step up and be counted! Lesson for Senegal

Portugal no serious abeg 😂 1-1

9JAMac10:
What is wrong with this Portugal midfield?

They seem to be lost in the short short passes…

Bruno Fernandes must wake up and lay some lob passes to Ronaldo. Damn they’re not helping him at all.

The midfield lacks engine oil 😂 e never guage

TheSuperNerd:
Yoane Wissa. He fears no one. When you have years of EPL experience, who you wan fear again? Lol

They are becoming more confident let’s see if can they level up and give the Portuguese a run for their money but another sheer brilliance from the red boys can be shattering

Nice attempt by Congo 👏

Omo DRC go hear am today o 1-0

minfelix:
It doesn’t have to be a “messi” kinda player…an old player still playing top level outstanding old player should not be discarded anyhow..
Ochoa 40 is not in the league of Messi
Manuel Neuer is not Messi.

If Iwobi by 2030 is still actively playing for a big or a decent team and playing well he should guide the younger generation by then

I just tire like say na greek we dey talk here even Dzeko for Bosnia at 40 is in this World Cup, person wey play against Nigeria in the 2014 world cup o

M7even:
Relax man. You are talking of a Messi, how many Messis' do we have. Those are outlier

Messi is the only old and experienced player you've seen so far?

Amedino99:
Yeah true. Altho for that to happen they might have to reduce seatings and increase the pitch size. The ratio of their pitch to the seatings is quite small for some reason. You will hear a stadium has 100k seats but look at it and the pitch is like half of the etihad pitch.

Yeah, like that Seattle stadium looks so massive, but it's just over 60k seating capacity for the World Cup, I think

minfelix:
I agree with this oo, thats why im so pained Enyeama retired when he did..He would have easily played in 2018 world cup,2019 afcon and help us qualify for 2022 worldcup these would just be him in his 36/37…
Iwobi,Ndidi should be guiding the younger generation to come

Na Oliseh force Enyeama into retirement na. nonsense. Even Ighalo, we chased him out too early, it's a lesson we must take forward in keeping our very good players for as long as possible, even if it's to stay on the bench

Odunayaw:
I kept shouting "at 39!"

African stars and coaches need to pick up a lesson or two

I think we push out our very best out of the national team too early especially when they mess up in a particular game.

From what am seeing from many nations in the World Cup, I think we should keep players like Iwobi, Lookman, Ndidi, Oshimen for as long as their legs continue to carry them. In fact if iheanacho can be sneaked in again I don’t mind, does it hinder new younger players? I don’t think so as you need so much of experience in tournaments. If they are even on the bench fine.

Amedino99:
Most of the stadiums used are for 'football'. They just made some changes to the surface from artificial turf to grass and some other minor changes like that. America has always had stadiums. Just surprised people are noticing it now. Pre season games, copa america and most recently the club world cup were all played in the US.

A country that's as big as a continent, stadium na water na! Once visited Seattle, massive stadium there and super infrastructure. America no be anybody mate o they can host the World Cup every four years with their mega cities.

FiveFootNinja:
I hope this 64 nation nonsense continues to remain theoretical and never comes to fruition abeg.

With infantino as president? e go happen 😂

Infantino and Motsepe are the weapon fashioned against modern football

TheSuperNerd:
He has done it oooo. Hattrick Messi!!! ⚽️⚽️⚽️

16 WC Goals!!! Equals the record.

Messi equals the WC record before Kylian Mbappe. Damn.

omo Messi na confirmed winch, Abi he and mbappe put money for this thing? cos which kind conspiracy be this one 😂

Samueltemi337:
Iraq dey play o

They should have been up by 3 goals just unlucky they are behind

Haaland wan drag golden boot in his first World Cup 2 goals in his first game may even get a hatrick

Na wa o!

minfelix:
chai today is Tuesday, since Thursday world cup start them never still play first round matches finish? 🥱

Anyways the games are interesting shaa

You never see anything wait till they increase the teams to 64 nations. Na 3 weeks dem go use play first round matches 😂 na we go tire to watch

minfelix:
I call them Eurafrics😀

😂 all the match scorers are Africans

TheSuperNerd:
It eventually did. Sarr's miss was damaging.

That guy should be starved of food for the next 3 days. He blew this away

TheSuperNerd:
Senegal showed their quality but France showed why they are indeed WC #2 contender.

Mbappe... 2 goals... but that #9 role is still not for you my man except Mourinho will break his philosophical tradition. That first goal though was a true #9 movement... kudos to Michael Olise for seeing that run.

I think France is a true model for merit in the national team. Once you’re class there’s no bad belle that will hinder you from not being paraded. They’ve had same coach for many years now and it looks as if he’s not been there for long with the numerous number and pool of players that have passed thru him, omo I bow!
