For cucurella i will be worried just a little tiny bit but there is nothing we can fo about him, he wanted the move more than staying with us.
For gusto, i don't know why the club is requesting such high amount, anything mancity brings make dem collect. He is that useless

... and we will add Tosin as Jara.

Nothing wey this BlueCo fit do again go surprise me. If dem like, make dem even sell Stamford Bridge join. I just dey look, because I know say one day, one day, the consequences of their sahky and dubious deal go catch up with them.

Nemesis0147:
Okay na

Goodluck for am

Indeed this Maresca was a traitor.

Chelsea made him who he is. When he was killing our league games by reserving important players for Conference league matches, I madebit clear here that the coach was being selfish and playing to boost his CV through winning of a silverware - the conference league...which was the weakest European club tourney.

He succeeded and then the CWC cemented that fir him. Then suddenly he realised he needed to go to a better club.

I now see the reason why he was killing our winning momentums. Each time we play a big team and win, then win another match...we suddenly become trash in subsequent matches against low clubs like leeds etc.

He knew he was never gonna finish the season...so no need playing to achieve anything for us

This post funny die. You really think a coach would intentionally destroy his own CV simply because he had another job waiting for him somewhere? 😂

Leyqute:
The problem BlueCo isn’t seeing is that Alonso might pull the same stunt when he sees how unserious they are and the Liverpool job becomes available.

Funny thing is this might happen before the end of this year

Prophet has spoken.
walahi I forsee the same scenario too 😂

Yet, you can't beat ordinary Colombia

Caicedobets:
calm down
He is not signed yet

Bro, where have you been? It's been a long time since I saw your posts, and that of your girlfriend too, Enzo5 (aka blueangel444)

andrewbaba44:
So person wey commot for group stage yesterday and South Africa ,Wetin be the difference 😁

I don talk my own. I never count this stage as the knockout stage. How can Round of 32 take become knockout stage? Abeg, na group extended stage we still dey jare.

Trevor012:
This fraud only shines where he can spam hail Mary crosses and setpieces to deceive guillable people. Once again any team with Fraudnandes cannot succeed, hopefully Martinez drops him for the knockout stage.

Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully.
This line neva tire u?

One of the first two things you learn


Don't head the ball back into danger and don't pass across your penalty area when you're being pressed

It was because it resulted in the winning goal that why it became a bad clearance. If the headed ball had landed at a teammate's feet, and it was clear out, we wouldn't see anything wrong with it. Their gbas gbos is too much. I've mentioned this earlier, they play with their feet but refuse to use their brains.😂

GAME OVER

Dram

The first knockout match could go to extra time, unless we have a dramatic end.

It's like Canada are playing with short-two in this second half

These South Africa players dey play with 20% of the brains and the remaining % with their legs.
Gba gbos, gbos Gba.

This pressure no too much like dis?

Whatever that might happen in this World Cup, Portugal must not win it. I don't care anyone who wins it, but it must not be Portugal, even if it's South Africa, they already have my blessing and I will congratulate them . 😂

But come 2030, I will climb the highest mountain, fast and pray for Portugal to win. By then, my hate-watch would have expired.😂

Lana1:
Instead of bros to be in the box utilising his jump power to chase headers, baba go dey hustle every free kick. Even the ones near the center circle. I don't know who keeps deceiving that guy that he has it. What a joke

This has to be the most embarrassing hate speech of the year. We need to report you to FIFA immediately! 😂😂😭

Sportsweb:
Chances of Portugal getting eliminated will get increase by 90% if they don't win this game and top the group.

No way they survived that France and Spain path

sincerely speaking I dey fear them, that's how dey fumble and wobble till dey win euro 2016.

Jamiuokolaa:
Dem Brazil and Argentina and co dey try sha

So na teams like Columbia dem dey face for qualifiers?

Lool

But dem say if CR7 for dey play in CONMEBOL , by now him for don score over 200 international goals. 😂😂😂

BlueRayDick:
Ask the person that claims he's Africa's best talent.

Okocha is talented in his own class but describing as Africa's best talent, from where to where?

zeusis:
Make fifa daku?😂😂😂

Na Edákun I want to write jare😂

FIFA, abeg can you please bring kickoff time for some of these matches forward. All these sleepless nights don dey affect me.
Abeg, Biko, Ẹjọ̀ọ́ edáku.

🚨 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗖𝗨𝗣 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧: The Super Eagles remain the ONLY African team to finish top of their FIFA World Cup group in back-to-back tournaments.

✅ 1994
✅ 1998
A record that has stood for nearly 30 years.

If we say it now, they will come for us, but the Super Eagles is still the benchmark for African teams outside Africa.

afrodoc2:
He was right about 3rd placed teams qualifying but wrong about 36 teams.

In our group in 1994 everybody apart from Greece qualified

The best 3rd placed teams qualified only at the 1986, 1990, and 1994 World Cups. From 1998 onward, the tournament was expanded to 32 teams, meaning only the top two teams from each group advanced to the R16

afrodoc2:
Best ranked 3rd place teams qualified in 1990 and 1994.

Yes, even in 1986 sef, that is why my post reads from 1998-2022.

Kikelomogbenga:
3rd place teams qualifying at the world cup is not a new thing. They have been using it before the 2002 world cup when it shifted to 36teams.

From 1998 to 2022, the World Cup featured 32 teams. Under that format, only the top two teams from each group advanced to the R16. There was no provision for the best 3rd placed team to qualify for the knockout stage.

Potvalor:
Africa/CAF can easily do 80% (8/10) qualification at this point, or even 9/10. Early days, but this is looking like the Best African WC performance so far.

Yes, Africa has been impressive so far at this World Cup, but we should also be honest, FIFA has made qualification easier with the expanded format. Before, only 2 teams qualified from a group of 4 teams. Now, as many as 3 out of 4 can go through. If you still fail to qualify under this system, then you probably didn't do enough to deserve it. That's why I was so disappointed that the Super Eagles failed to qualify for this World Cup.
Back then, if you lost your first two games, like Senegal did, you were almost always heading home. But today, a team can still qualify with just 3 points as one of the best 3rd placed teams.
Personally, I still see the Round of 32 as an extension of the old group stage. For me, the real knockout stage begins at the Round of 16.
So while Africa deserves credit for their performances, but we should also admit that the new format has made qualification much easier for every team, ( not Africa alone) than it used to be.

iamoyindamola:
First time an Africa country will score 5 in the WC

goals too plenty for this wc.

fredoooooo:
Belgium and Netherlands are like Assnal ..dont bet on them

If Belgium should lose to New Zealand lasan, they should disband the team or sacrifice dem to Ogunlakaye.

iamoyindamola:
The more Senegal score the higher they get

Their destiny is no longer in their own hands.
