Nomski0: Spain are reserving their players na.

Meanwhile Greece and Romania now on.
So many matches going on at the same time. My remote o.

You get to watch it on TV? I have to watch online. But I just saw that Swe-Port game is on my TV.

BTW, I just saw Ribery face. . . in a long time. God bless him. Bance is a runway model compared to him. Seriously.

Psychedelia: To be fair, I think they did deserve it.

For them to have gone to the Burkinabes' bedroom and scored 2 solid goals, only to lose due to some dubious penalty, then I think they really earned their spot.

Besides, the goal the Burkinabe team conceded tonight was a very stuppiid one. As in! Cheap shot wey dem concede like that. They gotta blame themselves on this one.

You make sense. But I'm going on raw emotion.

Also, I was (over)reacting to the commentators who have been so hard on BFA and ending their gig with "ALG deserves it."

Where't the referee from? I need to have a serious talk with him!

This is awful! I'd prefer Egypt in there over fricking Algeria. But I wouldn't want Ghana to miss their spot.

Psychedelia:

Bodies at the Algeria goal. Almost an own goal by an Algerian too.

It's over.

They did not "deserve it." I hate these commentators.

Burkina Babes are angry with referee and cussing at each other?

Oh mehn!

2 mins left. There's still time. Are they playing overtime and penalty if needed?

Nomski0: I'd give anything for France to lose that match. They're as over hyped as England. Plus I hate Ribery.

I'm not high on France. Haven't been following them since they imploded with their last crazy coach.

These commentators (in my stream) are so rough on the Burkina Babes!

P.S. What did Ribery do you? He's as cute as Bance nau. Maybe cuter. Anyway, I like them both.

Psychedelia: I've accepted fate.
These guys no go make am.

Boss, why you bring your pessimistic sef come here na? First you insult that pinup handsome man, Bance. And now you're saying they won't make it to Brasil. Why don't you just kill a puppy?!

12 minutes to go.

Algeria tried to head in a throw-in, but BFA players converged near the net. Good defending.

A Croatian player got straight red card against Iceland in their WC qualifying match.

Romania and Greece also playing.

Plus France V. Ukraine and Sweden v. Portugal

Where's this referee from?

69 minutes in.

Algeria 1 - 0 Burkina Babes

Nomski0: Its Bance! Oh Bance, I've missed you.. Oya you better net the ball o.


Kia! See his hairstyle.

There's your guy!

Nomski0: With this kind of performance from both sides, I can guarantee that none of them are world cup material.

I wonder if any African team will pass the group stage in Brazil come 2014

Off to Portugal Sweden.

Portugal scored in the last meet. I don't have a team there, but slightly rooting against Ronaldo/Portugal in that one.

More from Fifa:

HALF TIME: A tense opening period sees Algeria remain behind on aggregate. Neither side have created any clear-cut opportunities yet, but it must be remembered that four of the five goals in the first leg came in the second period. The final quarter of this play-off should prove to be an enthralling affair.

48' Play has resumed in Blida and Burkina Faso are just 45 minutes away from reaching their first ever FIFA World Cup. Can Algeria score the goal that would bring them level in the tie?48' Play has resumed in Blida and Burkina Faso are just 45 minutes away from reaching their first ever FIFA World Cup. Can Algeria score the goal that would bring them level in the tie?

49' GOAL! Madjid BOUGHERRA (ALG) brings the tie level after a scramble in the penalty area! Faouzi GHOULAM (ALG) whips the free-kick in which Bakary KONE (BFA) fails to deal with. The Algeria No2 has a couple of attempts and eventually the ball flies in after KONE (BFA) attempts to clear.

CFCfan: As it stands, Algeria will advance to the world cup

Hope not!

Nomski0: I saw handball in that penalty area.

Algerians are too darn rough!

They're cheaters.

I still remember when USA beat them in last world cup (2010). Great celebration.

Algerians are hustling before halftime.

I haven't sighted this guy.

Anyway, we can't cry about (past) officiating in futbol. It happens to everyone.

This is the game at hand. I'm rooting for Burkina babes! Go! Crush 'em!

Sagamite: They were the better side in the first game and they got robbed with a completely moronic penalty award.

Babalawo Sagamu, that's the calmest answer I've ever seen from you. All right, thank you. E se pupo.

from Fifa Live Commentary:

That's four Africa zone play-offs down, and one to go. Burkina Faso lead 3-2 on aggregate after a dramatic first leg in Ouagadougou. Which side will be the final African team to reach Brazil 2014? Stick with us to find out.

There are a lot of changes from the first leg, with Algeria's goalkeeper among six swaps in their starting XI. Burkina Faso have made five changes to their first team, with first leg goalscorer Aristide Bance among those to lose their place in the starting line-up.

Algeria are 20 places above Burkina Faso in the latest FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, but hold the aggregate lead and have had most of the ball in the opening exchanges in Blida.

It's been a fragmented opening to the match and neither side have created any clear-cut opportunities yet. The raucous crowd in the Mustapha Tchaker Stadium have quietened down and that's credit to Burkina Faso, who have done a good job of stifling their opponents so far.

iamdsam: I want Ghana and Burkina Faso to qualify. I would like this to be a West African affair. West Africa is indeed the power house of African football.

[quote author=GH^KWAME]Now team Burkina! We need a Western take over![/quote]

nikky341: Na typo, , Burkina Faso Lego
Up wast Africa

I made a thread for Burkina-Faso's match. Live now.

https://www.nairaland.com/1523942/algeria-vs-burkina-faso-world-cup

I didn't see a thread for this. Let's go!

CFCfan: Ghana booked their WC ticket last month, while Kevin Boateng confirmed the ticket with his goal.

Okay. Nice!

Happy for Ghana.

Just tuned in to a stream to catch the end. So, even though Egypt won, Ghana still qualifies, right?

Magic Bishop: Obama then opts for the safer game boy option of drones since Americans can't fight sh1t

You understand the American mindset really well.

Epic thread. Few words. Great points.

9jatatafo: Amunike let Iheanacho progress and blossom please. Forget about greed, at least you had your own chance and you played for a good club. Don't ruin the career of this midfield maestro. I how you saved enough money while playing. I have a picture of you (Amunike), Pep and Mou. See where PEP and MOU are today and you are an assistant coach of the U-17. PEP is the number 4 jersey player. MOU is on black shirt celebrating with the other guy and my Amunike is holding his jersey. I smell a rat. If Amunike wants to be an agent, then go and open football academy. OWU THINGS!!!!!

What's wrong with that?!!! That's an opportunity to change a lot of lives, give talented young Naijas a chance to follow their dreams and nurture the next conquering Super Eagles that will someday bring the world cup home.

obadiah777: nice one amunike. beat the oyinbo exploiter lol. finally a nigerian who does not kiss oyinbos butt. amunike you are a great man o jare. dont let nobody tell you otherwise lol

Thank you, my broda. Coach Amuneke did a good thing! Start repelling the invaders! No more slavery time. It sounds like Premium Times is in cahoots with the American and his Nigerian partner, the way they did such a hatchet job on Amuneke.

Everything he said makes sense. But he shouldn't have called the boy a "nobody."

“Yes, of course I slapped him very well and I will do it again whenever I see him,” Amuneke said.

“He is an i.d.iot , useless white man, he wants to come and reap where he didn’t sow.

“Kelechi is a nobody; yes, I said we helped him into the team, made him, moulded him into what he is today, he shouldn’t allow anybody to fool him,” the former winger said.

When asked the reason for his action and his rumoured roles in Kelechi and other players transfer business, Amuneke said, “I care so much for my players, I am a coach.”

“I’m not an agent but I just look out for the boys. He wants to come and sign a player just like that, he’s an i.d.iot , I will not allow him.

“Because the boy’s parents are poor and illiterate, he wants to use them. We are Nigerians and we’re not foolish,” he added.

iheanyi40: oga nob enyeama dey since na ejide, enyeama just entered.

Thank you, Chief.

I was distracted.

Game over. Eye-Ties 2 - 2 Naija.
