Record-breaker!😮‍💨😮‍💨

Okocha remains the benchmark 😎

Another of our bros has been cleared 👏

Over happiness wan wound Penelope Cruz 😂

Spain win a World Cup knockout match for the first time since winning the 2010 World Cup 😎👌🏾

Una go pay over £2,000 for Mexico v England match ticket? 😂

CrystalTiger:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

There's a lot of work for the next president..

😂😂

I’m with Sowore on his idea of scrapping the NYSC! It’s completely outdated and not relevant to Nigeria’s economic development

AirBere:
I really doubt this. Instead of a 3 game ban, he'll miss two. There's no way he's available vs Belgium.

I don’t think he will miss more than the Belgium match, because that tackle was accidental and not malicious at all

Carot:
if I hear you and pdpguy glorify super eagles again, I will order Iranian ballistic missiles and locate you both. Same eagles that bottled a four goal lead against sierra leone. You people should not annoy me this nite

Lol. That was a qualifier and it ultimately had no impact on the team advancing to the playoff phase vs Ghana 😁

But in any major tournament in my lifetime, I’ve never watched or heard that the SE squandered a 2-goal lead

It’s a big shame that the U.S., where football is only the overall 4th most popular sport, has now reached the last 16 SIX times - more than Nigeria and Ghana COMBINED!

COOL10:
What a performance from the U.S.A. The courage to push forward despite having just 10 players and then winning and scoring a free kick to make it 2:0 was really incredible. This team keeps making me happy every time I watch them play. They are indeed shocking the whole world. 💥👏💥

You see the difference in a team that has a gaffer that knows how to manage a game, vs one who takes off his most effective midfielder in the 60th minute of a knockout match 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

First time the U.S. is beating a European or South American team in a WC knockout match.

This is also Team USA’s first win over a European team since 2021..

I still believe Trump has enough pull to get Balogun’s red card either rescinded, or have his suspension take effect after the World Cup 😁

YES

The U.S. record their 2nd ever WC knockout win!

On to the round of 16 to face…Belgium 😁

YESSSS

Tillman makes it 2-0!

Omo, the U.S. will play with 10 men for the last 26 minutes. Balogun has been red carded

Would be fascinating to watch a Doku v. Dest matchup

It is sad and unacceptable that the last time a sub-Saharan African team won a WC knockout match was way back in 2010, when Ghana beat the USA 2-1 after extra time!

Balogun sooo close to making it 2-0 😲

A40:
Switzerland go flog Algeria wetin no good

With that Zidane Nepo baby for post?

Dem go sit am for bench nau

The only ‘silver lining’ in Senegal’s elimination is that if the U.S. beats Bosnia-Herzegovina, I’ll be rooting for them against Belgium

I can only predict that, of the remaining African teams, it will be Egypt and Algeria that will advance to the round of 16.

Colombia will be far too strong for Ghana to handle, ditto for Argentina against Cape Verde 🤣

minfelix:
Even Nigeria vs Argentina 2018 WC, F’king hold this people to a draw and advance to R16, them still find way to beat us amd eliminated us…Its an african thing

I still blame Victor Moses for switching off, defensively, and allowing Rojo a free reign to plant that header into the net 😡

Procashtips:
If the PK was so clear, how come it took forever before it was decided?

Why decide to give a PK at the dead of the night when it was 80% unclear?

They kept showing one particular area, didn't show the area it would have been obvious.

Anyways, to hell with Senegal, their style of football in this world cup was obviously horrible to watch.

Your head dey there. That is my one gripe about VAR.
In my opinion, all VAR checks should last no longer than 90 seconds. If an incident is still not clear and obvious in that time frame, nothing should be awarded.

All these 4 or 5-minute VAR checks are nonsense

odizeey:
Mouth is good motors. 😃

🤣😂

Unlimited22:
With five minutes to go

Lol

This current super eagles will beat every team in the world if we are two goals up with five to play

Exactly! I know we criticize them a lot on this thread; but you see ehn, once the opponent gets a goal back, you can trust Osimhen to bark orders at his teammates to improve their concentration

Nah… Even the Super Eagles won’t give up a 2-goal lead that easily at a major tournament!

Tufiakwa!!

I can’t recall the last time the Super Eagles lost a 2-goal lead at a major tournament sha

Worryingly, Morocco are the only African side to keep clean sheets in WC knockout matches - against Spain and Portugal at the last World Cup.

If this match goes all the way to penalties, Belgium will be favorites cos Courtois’s frame is intimidating

Kilishihunter:
That was the game that immediately came to mind when they equalized

They’re mentality monsters!
