Bros they are above South Korea and Croatia (who still have a game to play)

Yeah, I just see that now , but my permutations are these:
Cape Verde are expected to beat Saudi Arabia to get 5 points, while Belgium should beat New Zealand to get 5ponits also, so if DR Congo should beat Uzbekistan, it's game over for them.

CAPdan21:
Senegal let's go

it's over for them, either Cape Verde or Belgium will take their place, because I don't see both teams losing their last match.

fredoooooo:
Saved

odizeey:
This one pass give keeper.

There is nothing anyone can tell me, these guys are deliberately losing on purpose.

Some people are dump sha

A40:
To face CIV for next round. If they top their group they likely run into Germany for Round of 16

The first from that group will face sweden

Norway why you no parade these players against Senegal?

Hattricks

Norway is No-way for this France, why u dey rest your players ffs?

Game on 2:1

Mtcheeeew 2:0

Ibime:
To avoid Ivory Coast

2nd will play ivory Coast

raumdeuter:
Same with all those La Masia whizkids Borja Krkic, Isaac Cuenca, Ansu fati, Halilovic etc who didnt make it to senior level

Na Ansu Fati own pain me pass. From the few matches I watched, it was obvious the boy was a beast. Sadly, everything changed after that injury. Chai, what a pity.

izzou:
This one pain me.

Was rooting for them as the African country to go farthest

Well, make I change am to Ghana and CIV


Once again, Tunisia is maad

Ghana bawo?
CIV all the way, Nigerians supporting Ghana in football match is like Man u fans supporting Liverpool or Vice versa. D 😂

andrewbaba44:
Na Senegal of all people no qualify

While the likes of Ghana Southy Ivory Coast even Algeria and capeverde might scale through

iamoyindamola:
They didn't try at all not getting a point against norway might cost them

Many people have underestimated this Norway team. If anyone has been following their qualify matches, they will know are good they are, Norway won every single game in the qualifiers, finishing with a 100% record. They edged out Italy by beating them both home and away.

This is a team that has evolved significantly, so we shouldn't judge them based on previous perceptions of what Norway used to be. They are a much stronger side now, so this Senegal group is my group of DEATH.

/Against all odds South / Africa made it out from the group

Kimbeast:
Where you the one that crashed out Argentina?

Illimitable:
Only league champions qualified for UCL in that era. If that same rule applies now, Arsenal will be playing CL for the first time in 22 years(next season).
30 years later, kids would go on the internet and type “Bukayo Saka is an awful player, he only has 3 goals in the CL.”

Thanks for the breakdown. In today’s game, the “data boys” seem to care only about numbers and ignore the eye test. For example, if one player scores 2 tap-ins while another bleeds for a single goal, the stats will say the 2-goal player is better, just because 2 > 1.

Foden won 6 Premier League titles in his first 7 years at Man City. That is incredible achievement by any standard Meanwhile, Gerrard played 17 years in the Premier League without ever winning one.Now, Foden is in prime now, he's 25 and he can not make it to 2026 World Cup squad, can you imagine any coach leaving Gerrard out of a World Cup list?
So, if we want to judge by epl achievements, Foden is greater, but if by eye test, it will be Gerald, Gerald and Gerald.
Stats can be deceptive. The eye test still matters.

Nemesis0147:
these arguments are funny
Mbappe and his people are getting these stats now because the game has gone soft
Football then was war!!

Yes, this is another angle to the discussion.

So, in today's game, 3 points can be enough to secure qualification from the group stage, whereas years ago, even 6 points could see you eliminated.
So, today game is soft compared to then.

Now imagine someone 30 years from now mocking that Argentina team, led by Maradona, for failing to get out of the group stage while praising a team that scraped through with only 3 points now. On paper, the latter "achieved more" because they advanced. But anyone who understands the context should know that football should not be judged by statistics alone.

This is exactly why statistics and records should never be viewed in isolation. Numbers tell us what happened, but they do not always tell us how or why it happened. Context matters. Circumstances matter. Statistics matter too, but the eye test remains the ultimate judge of what truly happened on the pitch.

Trevor012:
The greatest of all time won 8 league titles and dominated 4 different leagues.

You just answered a question that nobody asked. I asked how many La Liga titles he won, and your response was "8 league titles in four different leagues."
That's like asking for someone's score in Mathematics and being told their total score across all subjects. Stay within the question asked, biko

Trevor012:
Who dash fake, fat and amputated Ronaldo two league titles

La Liga is the league that made your man a global superstar and the league where he spent the majority of his career. So, how many League titles did he win there also?

Nemesis0147:
Tuchel dy see something special in madueke😂

The person wey he need eyes surgery

Kilishihunter:
I think I've just wasted 51 minutes of my lifespan watching this crap

no be only you ooo, If we're being honest, this kind of performance doesn't present africa in the best light, and if such displays become a recurring theme, FIFA may begin to question whether the continent's expanded allocation of World Cup slots is truly warranted, especially for Africa.

izzou:
This is horrible

Ahn ahn

horrible na understament faa

Nemesis0147:
This is the kind of game you need Palmer or foden if they were good

Is saka injured? Tuchel should tell us wetin he see for this madueke guy

izzou:
Passes completed

England - 242
Ghana - 32

Abeg make una dey update us

Abeg, can anyone recommend a good season film to me, at least that will give me the entertainment I’m craving for. I can’t waste my precious 2 hours watching this horrific display from Ghana.

andrewbaba44:
Ghana never pass Midfield since I begin watch this ball

The possession is 90 to 10, even Uzbekistan we just watch refused to park bus despite of heavy defeat.

What kind of haramic football is dis?

Roland17:
Just looking out for your Pendu.

He is 41, Portugal have Colombia in 4 days or thereabout, they are going to be a tougher matchup and more physical.

Leave them nao. By the time he has another game with 0 touches for about 70 minutes, they will open another book of Lamentations and start blaming his teammates again. Meanwhile, Fernandez deserves an apology, but look at them acting like he did nothing.

Records kept, satisfied

Hattricks

This team get strong mentality, after 4:0 and yet they don't park the bus
