The hate watch on Morocco fit no work cause unlike South Africa, Morocco is a very good team capable of beating Brazil.

Omo.. I love this 🤣🤣
Weldone Qatar

Truidstarr:
See Yaya and em brother..improving themselves and coaching outside. Majority of our ex internationals na national team dem dey hustle... why they don't get hired outside..the lame excuse is racism.

kodded:
these guys dont know what they have started, especially Canada


I expect morroco and other northern africa teams to use same tactics to bar key players of opposition teams when they are the hosting team



Imagine Nigeria flying to Morroco or Libya, and the immigration authorities refuses to grant osimhen and lookman permission to enter their country citing one fabricated story

Ppogbae:
Did Carragher really say this?

Also, Partey was not denied because of missing paperwork but rather because he has charges against him and is set to stand trial. According to Canadian law, you can be deemed inadmissible even without a foreign conviction.

PDPGuy:
It’s the Balogun show!!

TheSuperNerd:
Just look at the Mobility, High Ball IQ, Gaps-attacking movement and High workrate of this Korean Midfield player. Hwang In-Beom of Feyenoord. Baller. 29yrs now. Was in Serbia at age 27.

After this World cup hosts must be mandated to guarantee entry for all squad members staff and a minimum number of fans. This is becoming ridiculous. World cup players are like diplomats.

SymphonyRad:
Omo this world cup no be child's play o, Canada denied Thomas Partey access to their country due to his pending case of rape charges.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2065479786869268636?s=20[/quote]It’s high time fifa stop playing the ostrich if they can’t enter agreement with host countries that visa waivers must be granted to participating teams and officials.

If FIFA doesn’t try as much as possible to keep the game apart from politics and state affairs the risk of having another parallel football body will increase.

yinkeys:
Portugal sliced Nigeria though & dominated play
Neto & Conceciao sliced us open
Fernandes also created space for a hot shot saved by Okoye
Ronaldo could have had a sweet header/sitter from a corner kick
Eagles struggled to make combinations, interplay
The goal Nigeria scored goes to individual efforts of Dele, Maduka & Akor as well as luck/defensive error
Can Nigeria hang if we play against S/Korea & Japan ?
Eagles were much better than the 4 nil embarrassment they gave us 4 years ago though
Can we really hang with the big teams tactics wise?

TheSuperNerd:
Mbappe's confusion... lol

This is the irritation thing that I am talking about. What exactly is the point of qualifying for the World Cup by luck and going there and humiliating yourself? The South African showing today was bad for African football. A team that bad should not be qualifying for the World Cup out of CAF, generally regarded as the 3rd best confederation in the world behind UEFA and CONMEBOL. Look at the nonsense they are doing with underage football in Africa, all modeled towards helping eastern and southern African countries. Very soon if care is not taken, they will take World Cup qualifiers into regionals. This nonsense needs to stop. Madagasca was actually very close to qualifying for the worldcup. Imagine Madagascar vs France; the scoreline would have been historic.

EElopa:
CAF needs to adopt a system in which there will be 3 groups of 10 teams. The top 24 ranked teams in Africa qualified for the final rounds. 25 to 54 teams will fight for 6 spots to make it to the final arounds. The top 3 teams in each group automatically qualify for the World Cup. The 2 best 4th-place teams in the three groups qualify for CAF playoffs. The winner in the home and away game qualifier for the intercontinental FIFA playoffs. The goal should always be to have the best African teams in the World Cup.

Odunayaw:
The only counterbalance to my disappointment with this underwhelming Mexican side is that they are judging the iniquity of SA.

I shall be Odunayoslav for the Czech game and Kim Yon Odun for the Korea one.

Odunayaw:
Fellow Mexicans
Rejoice

Ppogbae:
This Mexican team is very poor

Mujtahida:
Why has the emphasis been on the chances Portugal missed? What about the chances we missed?

comodo:
Hate watching crew.. ARE U NOT ENTERTAINED!!!!

JohnBullMySon:
FIFA and UEFA are not necessarily the same you know that right?

Cause you’re just mixing them like they’re together.

Napoleon55:
So you are basically saying that other first team members like Bassey, Iwobi,Ndidi, Akor and Onyeka should have joined Osimhen and Lookman clubing and partying in Lagos?

The game against Portugal is high profile friendly, two of them should have been there,not clubbing,
unless if they actually have a genuine reason not to go with others.
