Dembele wa wound Norway o 2-1

Goke,nothing better developed countries citizenship o

I tell you, our Nigerian-born players should take full advantage of their years playing in Europe to get it. Even Portugal has an investment pathway too, whether you're even residing in the country or not.

All the noise Oliseh dey make na because e get the pali o!

Please if you’re close to super eagles players or other Nigerian players you know especially those originally born in Nigeria advise them especially if they had huge numbers in terms of money to buy citizenship or residency in countries that offer it. For example from 800,000 dollars you can get a US green card by investment and there are some countries especially in the Caribbean that also give citizenship by investment that can make them have access to many countries visa free and other immigration pathways. No be only to Dey buy cars and properties and vibing in night clubs here and there. The huge money they are making now should be used to also solidify their tomorrow to ensure their social security.

Good point on the Citizenship talk. I recently read of a Naija player who refused to renew his contract at a club just outside Finland coz he is chasing Finnish Citizenship (he is married to a Finnish Lady). So now he seeks a club in Finland.

Shebi we saw how ex player obinna Nsofor was gushing on social media when he finally got his Italian citizenship! Mikel stay put at Chelsea including sitting on the bench till he got his British citizenship. Na the way o e go be like say person na mumu but tomorrow is always pregnant

AndSunGorilla:
Small correction, Osimhen didn't go to Turkey for money, he went there to save his career. Remember Napoli had frozen him out of the team. That aside, I agree with you sir.

There were other options if he had consented to wages or salary cut.

Breaking: Haaland does NOT START today. MBAPPE STARTS.

The Classic we all were expecting wont happen the way we expected. Norway seems to concede they will second in the group anyway.

😂 they are not serious if am suppose to be in the stadium I may ask for my ticket refund

Many go just dey blame our players as if it is easy,most of our players especially Nigeria born are from poor homes,so money is the motivational factor....

I can say much about Awoniyi Taiwo,yes his Dad was a prison officer,not top or mid officer but low cadre,his mum petty trader,struggling for survival,so money is just the factor in any of their decisions,saw Okocha recently in Benz GT63 2023 model meaning he got it right financially.........Taiwo Awoniyi was in town recently and a locsl journalist asked him,why not big big cars cuz he preffered using relatively old Sienna anytime in town,his replied was simple,buying 500m to a billion naira car,my papa go flog me o.

It is like blaming anyone that left what we perceived as a good job here for hustling job in US,UK or Canada,what matter most in this life is how you secure your family future financially,nothing more.....a friend of mine years back left banking job as a branch manager to Canada,when asked why,he said anytime he wake up he always crying for his children cuz he was failing as a father and only way out for him who is from poor home is to secure their future,he left and his happy for that decision.

This players are humans and they need to secure their futures financially cuz at the end we would asked them what do they used their money for aftet retiring.

Thompson Oliha dead with no money,he came to Ilorin as assistant to Westerhoff in KFA but guess what,nothing,he was broke and i asked him why,he said he did not had fulfilled financial club career like others,depression killed him,always smoking,drinking heavily...I have many ex footballers as friends and i can tell you it is not easy for them financially,some got addicted to drugs,some die cus depression and what caused it is wronged financial decision...now i do not blame players who chooses money cuz poverty na bad thing o

That’s why I will never join those blaming osihmen on his decision to go to turkey. Football is just a short span career! Once you stopped playing either due to injury or retirement omo you’re on your own. Our players especially those who are not foreign born are already at a disadvantage once their careers end cos there is no social safety net in Nigeria to fall back to unlike their foreign born counterparts who can fall back to the social safety net of their adopted European countries. This is also why many of our players especially the ones who are not foreign born also chose to remain in a particular country till they become citizens even if it’s to play in lower divisions and solidify their residency so they can also enjoy all the social benefits of their adopted country. So when I see players make certain decisions about their careers I understand why!

FiveFootNinja:
Dem don catch Goke7 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

no matter wetin I talk now who go believe me?, the guy just hang me, even if I bring lawyer I don lose case already

AndSunGorilla:
Oga which Cape Verde bravery? Dey talk true, nobody go cane you.

na wa for this thread person no fit talk again ba, you lock me inside guard room throw away key

Na Supreme Court go decide all these cases after the elections 😂

TheSuperNerd:
Actually no, he has not.

Oh ok!

Happy to see Ivory Coast through they are the only African team I no get bad belle for actually and they have impressed me so far! Others can go to hell just Cape Verde o have small soft spot for due to their strong mentality and braveness.

TheSuperNerd:
Special Yan 🔶️

He may have beaten okocha’s record

Spainever:
This result may likely affect Senegal hope of cliching third position spot

Too bad for Senegal

Ecuador ain’t playing 2-1

Ecuador equalises 1-1

Amedino99:
we probably should have seen it coming when a whole Qatar won the AFC cup twice in a row. I thank God I'm not a betting man. All my predictions for this world cup in this thread for African countries are going 9-1 with the 1 being Tunisia. For the r32 I'm not holding my breath for Canada. Where I have a little bit of confidence is r16 against the US. Their elimination can only be delayed not denied.

Edit: so they will play either of netherland or Morocco. Still better opponents than canada

African countries meeting at r32 is so unfair!

It’s also sad seeing Senegal bowing out so early except a miracle happens

TheSuperNerd:
Damn... if anyone is foolish enough to put 1million on SA not advancing, then wow... good luck to that foolishness. 🤣🤣🤣

Betting should never done with sentiments. Never.

With that said...
Anyone hatewatching my Maroc dey try. They are brave comrades. Just accept wetin u see. Lol

As for hatewatching SA, a new battleline is drawn.... Canada will do the Lord's work.😁😁🤝🏿🤝🏿 (I hope😂)

Canada sef can go and mess up, I don’t trust those ones 😂 South Korea even has a better football pedigree than Canada, SA will truly fancy their chances now with full confidence. Those South Korea players should be flogged on their buttocks publicly

TheSuperNerd:
Tough one ahead for My Maroc Boys. But again, the Dutch are my boys too. Can this WC just stop pitting my teams against each other? Abeg.😅

If they are serious they can beat both teams nothing Japan or the Dutch can bring that the Moroccans don’t have an answer to though for bad belle sake I no mind if they comot 😂

TheSuperNerd:
Well, Haiti has shown that Morocco's air-tight defence is not so air-tight afterall.... but Morocco were expected to win.

And they have just made it 4-2! Gessime Yassine, their U20 WC star from last year.

Haiti sef don tire 😂 that defender on the left just escorted the winger for the cross even if it looks like it’s out of play what was that

TheSuperNerd:
Na Haiti. Lol... they did not expect this much resistance.

And Morocco leads now! 3-2! Rahimi!!

Ope o would have been a disgrace to draw or lose to Haiti

TheSuperNerd:
Well, they made a few changes which was expected. Bouaddi, Ounahi and Mazraoui did not start but the lads that started are strong enough to navigate the Haitian challenge.
I cannot really link the changes to their drop in synergy at the back but it could be a factor.

Changes ke, have they qualified for the next round to rest players?

TheSuperNerd:
Oga calm down naa... I dey try stir hope, you dey mention FINAL BOSS... habamana!

Brazil wey no fit beat Morocco 😂

TheSuperNerd:
Vini Jr is 5th Brazil Player to score in all 3 group games of a World Cup edition.

Brazil won it every time it happened.... Hmmmm.... Good omen?

Let them meet France first make we check something 😂

TheSuperNerd:
It's crazy really. Haiti have been pretty impressive offensively with few chances. Morocco stayed strong defensively vs Brazil and Scotland but na Haiti dem come dey open Nyash for abi.

I have just been monitoring the live world rankings too, Morocco losing or drawing this game sees them drop.

I don’t even understand did Morocco underrated Haiti? Football indeed is like biscuit you don’t know where it will crack

TheSuperNerd:
And Haiti Strikes again!!!! My goodness!!!

Morocco 1-2 Haiti... what is going on here?!! What a bullet!

e be like say Haiti take this match personal o

Omo the kind goals Haiti Dey score no be here o 2–1 Morocco oginni 😂

You say what?? Kati kati haram no bad? Chaaaiiii.... Abomination. The worst 0-0 performance I have ever watched.

When Cape Verde did it vs Spain, I understood coz na their first time and in Africa, they have no strong football pedigree but Ghana?? Tufiakwa. CV even did better than Ghana.

2 shots for Ghana but CV had 6
128 passes for Ghana but CV had 205 passes.

I just witnessed Tufiakwa football. But it is well, they will take this into the Round of 32 and will see for themselves how far it takes them.

Kudos to the real MVPs, the Ghanaian native doctors that promised to tie Kane's leg and stop him from scoring 😂😂 I see una hand for 86mins...

I’ll take this result than that of Senegal I’ve always believed more in results in tournament than performance. Ghana is in a tough group it’s difficult to beat both England and Croatia who are technically better than them so they chose the safest option kati kati formation and it has yielded the desired result and that’s what matters at the end. If they have lost this game their quest to the next round will be harder.

well done to the black stars kati kati football no bad after all
