Talent spotting and grooming was really good in the 80s and early 90s but poor administration really sabotaged what could have been a golden generation of athletics.

The emergence of Kanyin and Ogazi alongside our ever reliable sprint Queen Tobi gives me hope that we are entering our best ever era of athletic competition.

Is this Kanyin home grown?

I love Tobi pa. Tobi Express. A real rolls Royce on the tracks, galloping like a gazelle

Sugarboyy:
They are even trying to emotionally manipulate the Argentine not to play physically against Spain, even the Spanish are guilty of this. They fear how the Argentine out muscled the English from the blast of the whistle and Spain knows the only way they can beat the Argentine today is if Argentina sees and play them like friends. The Argentine should come all out blazing and out muscled them and let's see if the Spanish players can last 60mins on the pitch.

Argentina did not out muscle the English. Taaa.

Tuchel gave that game away with his ridiculous ultra defensive approach after England scored. Argentina was there for the taking.

Let them come out gun blazing against Spain and see if this will not be Spain's easiest match in this final

Third place match yet see how full the stadium is.

Americans are rich and love fun

Procashtips:
Pedigree no longer win matches, it's what you're able to do within 120 mins and also who you are playing against.

Argentina had the mentality of warriors. They're doing it for Messi and Messi played like someone who was ready to die yesterday.

Maybe if England actually came out to attack, the goals would have been much more against them.

Let's understand one thing, whatever we are saying are just assumptions. There's nothing that shows that if they had attacked like Egypt did, they would have won.

Football is not mathematics.. especially in this dispensation.

Every time ready to die, ready to die. I swear they will not die on Sunday instead they will cryyy

TheSuperNerd:
Haaa... such is life. Now, the number 1 Hater of tiki taka is banking on Tiki Taka to make his day on July 19th. 😂

The Irony. The flip. The switch. Who saw this coming? 🤣 Certainly not me

All my hopes are on Spain oo. Tiki taka has to come through for me on Sunday. I don't want Messi to win the WC.


I want him to cry 😢😢😢. You know defeat in final dey pain

TheSuperNerd:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

These Mujtahida prophecy series is so hilarious. He don drop another one.😂😂😂😂

I was really into England winning but Tuchel decided to be a chicken when he faced Lionel

But I'm all for tiki taka doing it for me. I started this world cup on a bad belly note. I want to end it on the same note against Messi.😂😂

Goke7:
😂 your prophetic ministry wey you just start just expire like that! Delaw you need another side gig

That guy just destroyed my infant ministry. Imagine if my prophecy came through.

ChrisKels:
😂🤣😂🤣

I've retired from prophecy work. I no do again

AndSunGorilla:
Oga seer?? Na so you and your client dey regularly see mirage, ma wa o, from 9ja going to WC, to winning an untenable court case?? You need to go and redo apprentice for seership.

Messi made me into a false prophet. For this reason he shall not win the WC

Argentina just has a temporary reprieve. England will win

They must score. The pressure was too much.

But England will still win

Amedino99:
Can these english guys sustain this bus till 90 minutes?

Bad idea to pack the bus from now.

I hope Pickford doesn't make a mistake.

Okay ooo. Argentina is wearing that dark blue jersey in evocation of the 86 game with England.


England too is wearing the same replica jersey as the one they won in 86.

Well well well. Today na today

If you are on X check out this unique highlight of the Spain Vs France match.

You go laugh tire

Football ehn. Media is awash with praises for Spain. France who until yesterday was the cock of the walk has been pushed to the kerb.

I always say na who win sabi play ball.

ChrisKels:
Bro how can you not love beautiful(tiki-taka) football?

Kaiiii God forbid. Tiki taka is not beautiful to me oo. I find all that passing extremely boring.

I don't like tiki taka but I like two things in this Spanish team.

I like their ball recovery rate and I like how all their players are comfortable with the ball at their feet making them press resistant.

Nonetheless may tiki taka perish

Goke7:
This your bad belle na wa o 😂 wetin France do you

😂😂😂 Dem and Argentina don too kolobi the world cup. Make the thing go round small

soetanoreoluwa:
Argentina will win 2026 WC

Taaaaaa. Nibo?

Na who win sabi play ball. The way France demolished Morocco is the same way Spain demolished France.

All the juice in Mbappe, Dembele and Olise legs dried up.

Suddenly there weren't spectacular anymore. They should go and sit down jare.

I pray England knocks out Argentina. The WC is not the property of France or Argentina.

Even though I dont like tiki taka, I like how Spain is dealing with France - a team of mercenaries.

Napoleon55:
Don't trust this referee.
There was a foul against Dani Olmo,but he ignored it because Spain is in a better position to score

Advantage was Spain's

I don't want Spain aka tiki taka merchant to win. And I also don't want France to win.

May football win.

Football officiating is terrible at this WC. That ball touched Yamal's hand before the contact with the french defender

Papi85:
I’m not writing him off yet because he is still young

Making the leap to mens football no be child’s play just that sometimes we tend to expect too much and overhype these kids

Of course football is not easy. We still hope that he will come good

ChrisKels:
Ebenezer Akinsamiro is looking like Nwakali 2.0

Had so much hope in him but e be like the guy no reach oo.

9JAMac10:
Spain attacker Borja Iglesias on former Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy saying France have no French players.

"Frankly, it surprised me. I'm stunned that we are still facing this kind of problem."

"I can understand that he didn't say it with bad intention, I understand France's multiculturalism as a richness."

Rajoy said the truth. Africans are not french. Unless African or french has no meaning

M7even:
By many, you mean Englishmen ?

Even non English people.

That was a fine display of the Argentinian concept of viveza criolla (Street smartness)

I just watched a replay clip of Argentina Vs England 86 game.

Many people hate Maradonna for that 'hand of God' goal.

😀😀😀 That's quite a cheeky move. I like it. I was just laughing as I watched it.

Goke7:
😂 na tiki taka o

The problem is one cannot even define Brazilian football now. It's not tiki taka, it's not samba.

It's just a mixture of doubt and fear

The 10th WAFCON title was a romantic mission which I was invested in.

This 11th WAFCON nothing concern me.

Goke7:
This was the original Brazil we knew not the temu version these days

Roberto Carlos’s legendary free kick against France on June 3, 1997, is widely considered one of the greatest and most iconic goals in football history. pic.twitter.com/bXRRCPgHiU

Positional play fried Brazilian football into an indigestible burnt dodo.
