A Portuguese speaking team will win the World Cup and it won't be Brazil or Portugal

Cabo Verde!

Ellexy:
You dey mind dem. In Qatar, Messi had to face Netherlands, Croatia and France in order to become Champions. Let Okadigbo face them and win this around too.

I'm a Cape Verde fan not an Ororo fan. Leave me out of agenda

Cape Verde go shock una!

Argentina path to the semi is clear till they face England

But my Cape Verde go shock then IJN!

patrickmuf:
Vitinha is good but the hype around him is too much. Neves is better.

Neves is the energy plus the possession. Vitinha is just the possession.

Ellexy:
South Korea, what a disappointment of a team.

It crept up on them before they knew it after a good start

Losing to the hosts Mexico is fine

South Africa is a team that can hold you for long periods and get lucky as Nigeria have found. It shocked them

Emaprince:
I just dey read this conspiracy theories from educated people that knows how advanced football has gone, gossiping about match fixing in a worldcup. ..face palmed

So because of the war between US and Iran, they thought it also applies in football.

Even the Iran never lodge complaint with FIFA, dem dey lodge on Iran behalf

Easy New Zealand win that everyone was flogging would have avoided all these stories

andrewbaba44:
Why you wan use league metric for tournament 😁

They are not in the same league

There is no H2H because they didn't play each other

H2H applies to teams in the same group who play each other

On the 3rd place rankings, the differentiator is points, then GD, then Goals scored, then fair play in that order

How difficult is that to understand

It's like Olodo uprising is taking over Chelsea thread

iamoyindamola:
Is there a log for 3rd best teams and how did Senegal perform better than iran

GD is the separator

There is no H2H as Senegal never played Iran

iamoyindamola:
Now you see my point, they just don't want Iran to qualify
First they disallowed very legit goal and by h2h they should be ahead of Senegal because they didn't lose any match, Senegal lost 2
America shouldn't be allowed to host any football tournament again

Stop yarning ignorance

Iran goal was offside cos 2 players must be behind the attacker and the goalkeeper was not, only the defender was.

H2H only applies to teams in the same group

Iran is legitimately out.

drisham:
Portugal are really solid defensively


The veiga guy is a tank

The same Veiga Maresca bombed while shouting for LCB

Austria scored a last minute goal that saw them face Spain instead of Switzerland

Croatia late goal saw them face Portugal instead of Colombia

Congratulations to DRC and Algeria

Senegal is the only 3 pointer team to make it among the 3rd place sides

All African teams delivered what they needed to qualify coming into the final fixtures

DR Congo should not come and waste our slot and our goodwill here oh

Did Spy360 say Obis $30m investment was worth $100m by 2023?

I think he mistakenly added a 10 in front of the value

diggz:
Guy, hafa? I’m looking to buy one or two pairs of running trainers. Based on your personal experience, the trainers wey you recommend dey usually fit true to size?

Yes except Adidas where you must go half or one size up as Adidas running shoes always pinch the small toe due to their aggressive taper. This is at least true for their Evo series which are their premium running shoes. Adidas Adizero EVO SL still remains the best Western running shoe almost 2 years after release and their price has come down massively. You can pick one up for £80 or so now, but go full size up or at least half size up. Be warned, it's for running only as the durability of the outsole is low so would be a waste to wear it out for walking. It's also a bit unstable for heel strikers. I'm a midfoot striker so have no issues with it except the sizing issue. I had to give mine out to my uncle cos of the sizing issue but it was so good, I'm considering buying another one a full size up.

But if you have AliExpress or Chinese sites, they tend to have the better shoes

If so, Lining Red Hare 9 Ultra should be your number one pick hands down. Adidas EVO SL is second to these.

But if cost conscious go for Qiaodan TG 1.0 especially if it's on deal. It usually retails at £65 but I picked it up on a sale at £41, and bought the same pair for my brother too. But even at £65, it runs like a £150 Western shoe like an Asics Novablast series. Did a 17km run in it today with 100% comfort.

Granit Fing Xhaka in big 2026

Alonso is mad

GloriousGbola:
do your due diligence

if my memory serves air peace has not had favorable reviews across international routes

So far dem never crash

PDPGuy:
Air Peace are reportedly planning to launch Lagos - Manchester flights. The proposed flights will be operated 3x/week (pending regulatory approvals)

I’ll say this is a bold move from the airline because the British “big 2” - BA and Virgin - have never directly connected Manchester with Naija.

Let me know if this materialises please

afrodoc2:
Then famously in Italy's group in 1994 everybody had 4 points and only Norway was bounced.

Yeah Norway, Mexico, Ireland and Italy. Ray Houghton goal for Ireland to beat Italy being the highlight

These are fountains of knowledge that cannot flow naturally from Indomie generation

afrodoc2:


Never in the history of human endeavour has someone being so wrong and so confident.

He is correct to a point

1994 World Cup was 24 teams with a round of 16 so some 3rd places got in. In Nigeria's group, Nigeria, Bulgaria and Argentina all qualified for example

It was actually in 1998 when it expanded to 32 teams so only top 2 in a group went to R16

However to get to the World Cup in 1994 was the real struggle since only 24 teams were allowed in

I fancy Ivory Coast to KO Norway unless Haaland does something incredible

Brazil Vs Japan will hit like crack. . . . and Brazil will go home.

CrystalTiger:
This is why it's not good to judge football from stats or livescore..Uruguay is one of the worst teams in this tournament..

And yet they are only out because they conceded 4 goals from 4 goalkeeper mistakes. Muslera should be flogged

All African teams through except Tunisia

We just need DRC and Algeria to bring it home

Unlimited22:
They need to win by three or four

4 doesn't make a difference based on the table

If they don't qualify with 3, they won't qualify with 4 as the next jump from a zero goal difference is to a 4 point team, having +1 GD won't make a difference

Senegal need 1 more goal to give themselves a chance, and 2 more goals to increase that chance

1 more goal will take them above South Korea in the 3rd place rankings

Omo Dembele came here to win Ballon Dor again oh

Kilishihunter:
Why are Norway resting players when they have a chance to top this group

To avoid Ivory Coast

Bani Mufleh posted a photo of himself on Wednesday after a long treatment journey for an illness he contracted while imprisoned by Israel. The photo showed part of his brain skull removed as a result of surgeries he underwent while in Israeli detention.


Pallywood again with their deception. He had an illness and was treated, nobody bashed his skull in. If an Israeli prisoner falls ill in Hamas detention, na death straight. That's after plenty raping and torture

AirBere:
It seems like you don't know Lacroix. He's one of the fastest defenders in world football. He's faster than Araujo for example and Araujo is very fast.

He's in the league of Van der ven in terms of top end speed. But with all that said, I'm not his biggest fan. I prefer intelligent defenders not pace merchants.

Maybe it's because Palace always park bus so I never get to see it used

I just remembered Fofana which led me to CSO, then Sterling then Lukaku then Aubameyang

And i cursed Thomas Tuchel with his 100% transfer flop record

Kanu finished 6th in WPOTY in 1996

Okocha probably never made shortlist
