Turkey is also more Arabian that it is European. Not sure what you are pushing at.

Maybe next month, we will have this discussion. Today, they are Africans, representing CAF. And whatever benefits come from this, benefits the continent as a whole.

Imagine the next generation of West African footballers that will be inspired by tonight. Semi Finals is no longer untouchable. In fact, with a bit of luck, these guys might just reach the finals.

Abeg lets Africa for one night before politics enter.

This is how it should be seen.

They may even win the whole thing too. I don't understand the need for politics tonight.

Great win Morocco, great win Africa!!!

yemmit90:
Three possible scenario in this match.

1. Portugal equalize

2. Morocco add another goal.

3. The game ended this way in favour of Morocco.

More like water is wet lol!

Tchinaidi:
Commentator they even call them Arab country bro..This people are not Africans at heart.So bleep them

Whatever you believe is true but Morocco remains an African team till geography says otherwise. Support whosoever you wanna support, but to say they shouldn't be supported because they're not Africans is just a very funny take.

According to FIFA, Morocco remains the only African team left in this competition. If they beat Portugal today, good for them; if they don't, Portugal can move forward to the next round deservedly.

prinsam30:
the viewing center wey I dey watch this game Hausa guys wey dey there no just like Portugal team at all, dem dey support Morocco bcoz na Muslim country, and Morocco no even send them, dem no even consider themselves as African, I just dey pity dem

Nobody really cares and there's no need to pity them. If they support Morocco, good for them, if they support Portugal, their choice.

There are people on nairaland here who'll support Portugal to beat Nigeria in a world cup match, some will support Argentina to beat Nigeria too. It's not that complicated.

Their choice to support anyone; there's absolutely no need to pity anyone based on who they support!

Almiron:
may amodia strike you dead

Wetin be this

Ibime:
They partly solved the problem by taking out Di Maria from the line up. VVD and Frenkie De Jong did the rest. I was expecting to see VVD stepping out with the ball to break through that Frontline, instead VVD was acting spare man and Frenkie was dropping into Holland box to make the play. They really missed a trick.

Fair enough...

Ibime do you still think the Netherlands will beat Argentina? Or should we now push the mantle to Croatia?

You said it was easy to play through them because the frontline don't press. Yet without crosses the Netherlands couldn't create any meaningful chance till that wonderful header.

Expert17:
Gakpo abeg o

raumdeuter:
We will revisit this after the game

All those who attended defensive drills should get ready

Raumdeuter what do you think of the position of VVD?

deltateam:
World cup surprises.


Imagine Croatia

Lol, which one be imagine Croatia?

A team that played last world cup final, shey you dey whine me nee.....

OhBritannia:
Now that Brazil has won, forget it bro!!! Argentina is beatingNetherlands no matter what and Messi is getting a goal.

Football rivalry is psychological, this win by Brazil has given Argentina a deadly motivation.
Last last Netherlands go collect.

You sure?

andrewbaba44:
Tite na very conservative manager sha

I don't think he's that conservative here with the 4:4:2 in defence, 4:2:4 attack.

I mean if you're coming up against Modric, Brozo & Kova, you need to be a bit more cautious. I can't tell him what to do but popular opinion is that he should play Neymar F9, drop Raphinha, play Richarlison or drop Richarlison and continue with Raphinha on the right.

This scenario will allow him to introduce another midfielder and be more compact. Like I said, I can't tell him what to do. He'll find his courage and do his thing!

raumdeuter:
Brazil should have dropped one of Richarlison or Raphinha for an extra midfielder

Cos right now Brazil is literally playing 4-2-4 while Croatia is playing a 4-5-1

There's a bigger chance for Tite to drop his balls infront of camera than for him to drop the aboved mentioned in a world cup quarter final. He's a 4:4:2----4:2:4 manager.

Swanzi:
Brazil will win, England will beat France, morocco will beat Portugal and Argentina will beat Netherlands. That's according to a close friend who has inside knowledge in Qatar and friends with some referees…

Una dey funny me ooo

OfficialP:
cr7 na Brazilian?

Lmao

Read between the lines. A Ronaldo/Messi fan boy will want Brazil out because they're stronger than other teams except may be France.

For both, this is their last World cup. That guy wants Brazil out because he wants Portugal to win. He knows Portugal will stand a better chance against Croatia than Brazil if they both meet in the final. This is also applicable to Messi fans. They will prefer to play USA instead of the Netherlands... it's about bragging rights

Elidrisy20:
I see Argentina & Morocco in the finals, with Morocco lifting the trophy

Lol

Knowing fully well that if Argentina reach final, they'll likely win, then you start screaming Messi GOAT.....I understand this one too

Starz825:
What's solid in Brazil defense....

Bro Brazil is going home this evening....

You can cry with them if you want to...

Thanks..
they will be playing under intense pressure same way they did against Belgium in the last world cup ...

They are going down tonight

Na Vincius and rodrygo I feel for...but Dem be the future of brazil...Dem still get like 3 world cups

Yeah true, while CR7 has only this one...I understand your analysis

It's been days but this argument will continue until the next world cup match.

If you support VVD, pray he doesn't make an error leading to goal. Dayo will so feast if that happens. In fact just pray Arg don't score at all because even if Dimaria or Messi score from a direct corner, Dayo must agend....

MorataFC:

You've answered none of my questions sha...but e so kay. I can no more run in circles.

Take care man!

MorataFC:
Man City is yet to be added as an elite club in England.

So to your question, No

How's the bolded quantified, I want to see the metric used. If I can remember correctly, Sutton claimed that city are not elite because they're yet to win the UCL. Does this mean that if city continue to farm the league for 10 years or thereabout, they'll still not be considered elite enough?

The above logic suggests that, all things considered, Arsenal isn't elite.

ETH is Ajax/Eredivise product...so?

MorataFC:
Tuchel and Klopp are not products of Bayern Munich, I think I lay emphasis on Bayern Munich not Bundesliga.

Great. So should we add Manchester city of England?

And what's the position of ETH; Ajax and Eredivise product...

sukkot:
AND CAN you explain why these nigerians find themselves in country with great leaders where everything works they still end up committing all the crimes in such countries ?dubai prison,malaysia prison, indonesia prison, usa prison, uk prison, etc etc etc is full of nigerians. is that our leaders fault too ? you say its the leaders but you end up in sane environment and you are the one destroying the sane environments. its time we tell ourselves the truth. its not our leaders. its nigerians. as we speak our boys are in dubai using cutlass on each other on the open streets. they have banned nigerians from entering dubai

K, man

MorataFC:
Do I need to tell you for the second time and for the last time that Flick is overrated.

There are six leagues that I have tagged as a no-go area if you want to hire a coach for your club.

Bayern Munchen of Bundesliga
Celtic of Scotland
Rangers of Scotland
PSG of Ligue 1
Ajax of Eredivisie.

These teams will make tyro looks like a genius.

Tuchel and Klopp are both Bundesliga products. Are they not included or should both be classified as outliers? ETH, Eredivise/Ajax product is gaining grounds at United...

On the teams/leagues, should we include Machsester City of EPL if they win the league again? I'm asking because that'll be an unprecedented 5 in 6 EPL titles.

On Flick, I don't think he's overrated at all. He's a good coach and is rated accordingly. No matter how you look at it, you don't win the treble by luck. There's a reason why very few coaches have won the treble.

sukkot:
is it your leaders that would come and clean your environment for you ? its those guys selling the fish in doha who keep their environments clean. time for you nigerian citizens to start understanding that nigeria is bad because of you and not the government

As a traveller, I'll tell you that Nigeria is certainly not bad because of the citizens. You're not being sincere if you feel the government shouldn't be held accountable first. Like first and first!!!!

In football, if a team loses, the coach (govt) is held accountable first, in some extreme cases, he's sacked. The players (citizens) will only follow the foot print of the coach (govt).

Don't be deceived with nonsense like; don't make excuses, the government can't help everybody bla bla bla. Forget it. Nigerians are extremely hard working people. Enable the environment with constant power, roads, and other pro development policies and see this country grow.

I'm where I am today because I don't make or give excuses but you see Nigerian government? bunch of comedians...


@Zubby, nice one brother, I love what I'm seeing, God bless!

Amrabat!!!

Spain is shit...my goodness!

DontBullshitMe:
Morocco's LWF is eating up Spanish RB. Every one-on-one ends up with Llorente getting dribbled.

Question is, who can really defend against Boufal. Even when he was at Southampton, he ate up almost any full back he came up against. His dribbling is grade A. Like Saint Maximin, end product has always been his probs.

I like what I'm seeing from Morocco though, I hope this continues.

baralatie:
Wait o
Is Cristiana Ronaldo coming to Chelsea

Nope!!!


He's going go Saudi Arabia. Deal is about 90% done. Of course anything can change but he's heading to Asia according to recent reports.

donstan18:
Bruv wasn’t even all that in World Cup.

No record

Wetin Media for expose then.

Do well to update some facts here; Most are correct though. The one you alleged Drogba is greater than isn't the top scorer. That title belongs to Klose who's on 16 WC goals.

In addition, Pele has 3 world cups, not 2. If we claim he's on two WC, then Messi is on 3UCL titles.
