Morocco played like they were title contenders. But France (my main sub saharan African connection) were too much for them

they couldn't beat us in. 120 mins. so we are happy. we played not to lose abi haha

chrisooblog:
Miles ahead couldn't beat us in 120 minutes despite home advantage and biased ref.

And we didn't park the bus o.

Semi Finals, now quarter finals. you still dey struggle for second round.. it would have been bad for us this time. e good say we no go disgrace ourself

SymphonyRad:
Story for the gods, nobody gives a fucck about those expanded world cup technicalities my guy. What football facts will have on record is that Morocco got to the QF (fair play to them) but they got slapped around by France and got dumped out with no shots on target till minute 86. Senegal gave France a far better game, even teams like Cape Verde and Ivory Coast would have given France a better fight. You can suck off Morocco for all you want but with all their recent successes, they will still need some more decades to catch up to Nigeria's continental and global impact in football despite our administrative woes that have stunted our football lately.

So yeah, I daresay there's no world where Morocco is MILES ahead of Naija, granted they have a more successful world cup record than us lately no doubt, but that is only where they have surpassed us in football...making world cup semi-finals and Quarter-finals are mad impressive for an African side, but at the end what separates you from the big boys are those trophies in your national cabinet and not your world cup moral victory stories.

if we use that logic we can make so many conclusions. football no be maths. look at your achievement across the board. no use only one match take appease urself

your mate done reach world cup quarter finals even during that period.

minfelix:
So in your book when person reach Semifinal and lost na to enter flight dey go back home? no b to wait for Third place match?🤣🤣
If na so your book be, it means Nigeria also played Semifinal in 94 and 98, cos word cup use to have 13teams before they expanded in mid/late 90’s

Naija no even dey top 3 for Africa. We fit maybe squeeze enter top 5

Napoleon55:
No,Nigeria is not on the same level with France,
But Nigeria is better than Morocco.
We are not deceiving ourselves,
none of those African countries is better than Nigeria.

Morocco got to the SF in my books considering it is an expanded world cup and they met the strongest title contender. So no dey appease urself.Morrocco is MILES ahead of Naija. You can settle for AFCON owambe as usual

SymphonyRad:
World cup is over for every African team so everybody don humble, let them all come back and let's have fun as we prepare for the next AFCON. At least all the roasting of Nigeria has ended about us not qualifying blah blah blah...now we can all begin our different realities on the same level as we start on a clean and new slate under Eric Chelle. After all has been said and done, Nigeria is still 28 ranked in the world and now 4th in Africa despite the world cup absence, so we still get levels at least.

So u are agreeing with what I said initially before I read the racial part then.

Goke7:
You’re indeed not serious even calling someone a colonised Cameroonian, what does mbappe know about Cameroon? Did he grow up there? Is it his fault his father is from there? When did we start shaming people for what they had no control over, Mbappe is and was never a wannabe French ok?

I was serious, based on what i was responding to

Goke7:
You’re not serious, read the full statement here, did mbappe also grow up sucking on coconut milk instead of breast milk and living among chimpanzees?

Thank you

Ppogbae:
That picture is only part of the quote. The racist part is when she refers to him as a monkey and mentions that he grew drinking coconuts instead of breastmilk.


https://www.dw.com/en/mbappe-hits-back-at-racist-insults-from-paraguay-senator/a-77862911

From the remaining quote, yes that's racist consideing historicak use.

Napoleon55:
"The brute didn't even learn to write; instead of mother's milk, he sucked on coconuts, and the most educated thing he heard were chimpanzees."

The above quote is the remaining of her statements.
So how would one not recognize this as a racist attack?

but how is this racist?
Distasteful, abusive etc YES. How is this racist??

So if someone for example calls a Nigerian, "American wanna-be", that is racist? Many people are indeed colonized and as a result, look down on their own roots. That is factual. But how well does she know Mbappe to say that?

Goke7:
It’s a shame that racist remarks has become mainstream with politicians openly becoming a disgrace, just imagine a 61 year old woman doing this. I like how mbappe hit back now the woman is threatening to sue for gender violence 😂

Our brothers had two in the top 10

TheSuperNerd:
In Athletics, Nigeria's Kayinsola Ajayi has done it again! 9.84secs national record.

9.84s!!🔥

🇳🇬Kanyinsola Ajayi beats Reigning World 100m Champion, Oblique Seville 🇯🇲 in his Diamond League debut, powering to an equal Nigerian Record of 9.84s (0.1) to win the men's 100m at the Prefontaine Classic!

Oblique Seville 🇯🇲 was 2nd in 9.89s, followed by Christian Coleman 🇺🇸 in 9.95s.

Legendary Bednarek 🇺🇸 finished in 4th.

From NCAA Chanpion to Diamond League Winner.

Our boy continues to cook.

Naija and Morocco no be mate. Leave matter

Yes

Goke7:
Morocco no Dey our continent be that 😂

If dem see themselves as Africans na

Goke7:
You don throw African solidarity away 😜

As long as Tani dey Canada, na dem i dey support

Qualify first and prove it

Odunayaw:
Cameroon will have also ended at R32

There's no way we lose to Canada like SA did. DRC gave a good account of themselves and if we met the same teams they met we'd also have R32 exit realistically.

You guys tried jor. No mind my countrymen

Swanzi:
One thing I can promise you is that even if Ghana exits tonight we will go down fighting…

First game dey be like that, even for Spain.

Odunayaw:
Nothing like respect in the Spain game for example, they escaped with their lives. Na courage wey fortune favour and na mad ting

You sure say no be TheGoodJoe you dey ref?

Odunayaw:
Na Oga Joebie convert me.
That baba will say short term success isn't the way forward.

Negative football takes from a team more than it gives. You go draw to see the next day but when that day comes e go expose you.

See now, just 45 passes completed in over 30mins

no be only Argentina. But I sure say many of them go they overwhelmed dey shine teeth to collect Messi messiah shirt

Mujtahida:
The thing dey burst my brain. But we were not like this before.

The question is: could SE have played Argentina like this?

I was thinking the same thing, that if we had to gone to this world cup esp with them relaxing the number of fouls dem dey blow, we would have been utterly disgraced.

Mujtahida:
Chelle has improved us such that we play sleek football. Now we need to add steel to that sleekness

e mad say dem no respect anybody?? eh?

Odunayaw:
Na mad ting that Spain, Uruguay and Argentina labored to beat Cape Verde.

Serious mad ting.

Osimhen kind mindset. I hope we have enough of those

Mujtahida:
Exactly. Chelle should as coach of u-23 pick players who are not only skilful but are dogged

switch off wetin? which formidable team have they met in this world cup so far before today?

Odunayaw:
Thankfully Argentina had their own warriors on the field today despite the switch off. Cape Verde no look uche face today.

My data was well spent!

Now, time to take my Columbian name. Don Odunayorino

current?

zicky:
Exactly, I think that exactly what is lacking in the current SE. Can't remember any world cup game we held Argentina to a draw in 90mins.

rusty wetin. just making sure you no take one single thing from Cape Verde. Argentina get luck today.

Odunayaw:
You wan make my point for me niyen. They haven't and that rustiness showed up. That's what we mean by rubbish and it doesn't take anything away from the spirited performance of Cape Verde.

Like you have said, it is this spirit that is fluctuating with our own team

We need a system reset from the foundation.

Mujtahida:
I say we lack warrior mentality.

Small thing we don fold. I hate that thing about SE

All the 10 countries justified it considering Algeria and Tunisia qualified flawlessly.

modified
wanted to add it is totally different from playing at the AFCON as well. we know that very well from from first experience

oloriooko:
Cape Verde has justified the 10slots FIFA gave Africa
These boys must be celebrated
This shows that you don't have to play in the elite leagues to make lasting impact in the WC

Playing at the WC is a totally different ball game from club football
Cape Verde gave 101%
Congratulations to Cape Verde for doing Africa proud.
You are going home with your head held high

it is a people problem. That's how most of us are as a collective

Mujtahida:
I swear. Nigeria cannot play Argentina like this.

Fear fear fear.

See Cape Verde second goal. See goal.

Moses Simon and Chukwueze. Kai

Argentina. Tell me one strong opponent they have played so far in this world cup

Odunayaw:
Una

Why are both a mutually exclusive thing?

Argentina had almost 70% possession, forcing 8 saves. Yet we can all see the sluggishness of certain players, misplaced passes, indecisiveness.

Cape Verde sniffed it and took their opportunities.

I go troll if my brothers do well tonight. I go must troll. make una alert the mods. I won't mind being banned. lol
