Nothing beats courage in this life. With courage we have seen 5000 men hold off 40000 men. (Siege of Malta)

Courage! Courage!! Courage!!!

Super Eagles play with courage ooo.

Sugarboyy:
Formidable opponent Ke.
Yeah, Cape Verde played well but if they were playing a country like France or even England do you think they will be able to dominate these countries for 3 mins the way they did to Argentina today?

Even when they drew with Spain, Spain dominated them from start to finish

COOL10:
Best game of the tournament so far. What a game!!!! Wowwww!!!! 😮😮😮


Argentina go through to the round of 16. As for Cape Verde, this is how you leave a tournament with your heads held high, unlike other African Nations.

Argentina will never forget today
If they play this rubbish they just played against any of the other big teams, they will be massacre

McAllister is damn too slow and their attacker's hasn't lived upto expectations in this WC.

I'm yet to see the super quality of Alvarez that Barcelona and Madrid are bidding 150m for

African teams have a shutting down syndrome once they are leading or at par

Before they try to reboot... It's always too late.

You score a goal, I think your aim should be at doubling it and tripling it. This WC had shown if Africa attacks, we cause chaos but when we defend we attract chaos

Still overthinking o

Goke7:
Ghana? 😂

Odunayaw:
Why you de overthink

I'm glad these wereys are not in the next afcon o because this momentum is crazy

Goke7:
This round 32 abeg no make sense as it gives a false sense of accomplishment!

If you’re even a medium level football nation and you’re celebrating getting to round 32 you must be a joker

Sugarboyy:
Never you write off Argentina, their kind of play always make it seems their opponents aren't good or doing enough. Romero, Otamendi, Lisandro Martinez, Molina and De Paul are still playing. These players always turns warriors whenever their matches becomes war

But I would really like to watch France conceding first against any of the other big teams and see how they would respond

Sugarboyy:
France "might" win this time. This France squad is scary even though I would be vouching for Argentina

TheSuperNerd:
That frontline alone is 11 Goals and 9 assists at this WC alone.

Barcola - 2 goals, 1 assist
Olise - 4 assists
Dembele - 4 goals, 2 assists
Mbappe - 5 goals, 2 assists

Then behind them is a really solid midfield, highly technical yet physically imposing.

Their defence - The Great Wall Of France that stands as tall as the Eiffel tower.

Indeed, my dear colleague... They are favorites for many reasons.

Mujtahida:
I love the country but I detest the squad. Germany and Holland are out. France is next in sha Allah

Goke7:
😜 abeg when you catch that prophet make you tell me

Sugarboyy:
We may likely see another France vs Argentina final

9JAMac10:
Germany and Netherlands are out. France is next to be booted out.

AndSunGorilla:
Dutch penalty curse continues.

do4luv14:
Buh no be Canada Dem play the match na

TheSuperNerd:
😂😂

Technically though, Canada played in LA but fun point is still valid.

FiveFootNinja:
Okay. You've made your point.

Therefore the AFCON qualifiers is useless.

There's no need for us to prosecute them. We can forfeit all our matches and lose our spot to either Guinea-Bissau or Madagascar.

We don't need the AFCON. No more AFCON competitions. You're right. Wow. Such an intelligent suggestion. Why didn't I think of this before?

You're very intelligent.

mank1234:
R32
CAF 9/10 -90%
AFC 2/9 - 22%
UEFA 12/16 - 75%
CONMEBOL 4/6 - 67%
CONCACAF 4/6 - 67%
OCEANIA 0/1 0%

Africa leads even though none top the group. Hopefully, most scaled through to last 16 and beyond so we can ask for more slot if we transition to 64 team tournament.

We have the largest number of members and should also have the largest contingent of we are consistent.

FiveFootNinja:
What is wrong with AFCON trophy?

I never still understand this your argument wey you don dey yarn for how many weeks now. I guess according to your logic, there's no need playing AFCON, so we don't even need to qualify. Afterall WC is more important.

EElopa:
The Dr. Congo coach is an elite-level coach, and I will be shocked if he stays with that team after this World Cup. Some of these Middle Eastern countries will throw the kind of money at him that Dr. Congo cannot just match. They still have some top attacking talents coming to them after the World Cup, like Senny Mayulu of PSG.

I don't know if he will choose to stay and chase the AFCON title and perhaps a real run in the 2030 World Cup with some big attacking talents that are on their way. The Democratic Republic of Congo will be a problem in Africa for the next foreseeable future.

AFCON, to me, has now established itself as the second most competitive continental tournament, only behind the Euros. He is milking out every ounce of ability in that Dr. Congo team. I love Eric Chelle, but he tactically outmaneuvered him in that playoff finals. England struggled with Ghana's and Panama's low block and physicality, and they can give England problems.

They are now playing with house money. They have nothing to loose anymore. They have outperformed expectations, and all the pressure in the world will be on England on that day. The world will expect England just like they expected Portugal to tame them, but it is now up to Dr. Congo to shock the world like they did against Portugal.
