You go fear views na 😁😁

MrLibrarian:
they've overtaken USA in football.

💯

MrLibrarian:
. Argentina struggled against Ecuador and Messi missed a penalty

Messi fit ghost on Tuesday 😂

Ngolo Kante is currently unbeaten in 20 straight games with France at major tournaments! 😲
France have recorded 13 wins and 7 draws anytime he has played for them at major tourneys, which is a European record

To be honest, the Canadians’ transition from midfield to attack is up there with the top 5 teams in the world.

Their only Achilles hill is the finishing and questionable decision-making in the final third. If Coach Jesse Marsch can work on those lapses with his team, they could squeak past Argentina.

But even if they lose on Tuesday, the Canadians have already made their country proud, and would surely be a force to reckon with at the WC in 2 years time.

FBS:
Plus the professional foul sef.

Was the definition of “no gree for anybody” 😂😂

It’s Argentina v Canada in Tuesday’s semifinal

Yes! Canada wins it!!!

This Canada v Venezuela ref is pure trash!

He is literally letting the Venezuelans get away with obvious fouls 🤦🏾

MrLibrarian:
na classic players take PK tonight na.
Slovenia na team?
Same Portugal wey Ramos score hatrick in a 6-1 trashing last world cup but during Morocco dude became dumb.
Portuguese lacks consistency.

Got you. Those Slovenian penalties were poor sha

Redman44:
Personally, it is Evelyn Ojeimen ( Nee Akhator ) that I want to see in camp. However, I don't think she has been playing professional basketball for some time now.

Ok

I feel for Ronaldo and Pepe sha. As this was surely their last international tourney with Portugal, it would have been nice to have crowned it with an appearance in the final.

But they bow out as bonafide Portuguese legends🙌🏽🙌🏽

What happened to Diogo Costa??

lovewins:
Michaela is never getting an invite from USA basketball. Lol she's not that good, not even close.

The only person who potentially has a chance is Kiki and even that is subject to her being very good.

Cool

lovewins:
Funny thing is we won't have that problem with them since they didn't play for team USA at any level. So they do not fall under the category of players needing FIBA permits

I get your point. But what if USA Basketball decides to invite them to training camps and fields them in a couple of exhibition games within the next year?

So Carvajal will miss the final if Spain make it all the way…

Michaela and Kiki should be contacted ASAP (assuming there have been no contacts between the NBBF and the players) to secure their availability for the 2025 Women’s Afrobasket.

We certainly don’t want a situation where the NBBF has to beg FIBA to ‘permit’ both players to don the GWG

I wish Adaora Elonu and Akhator made the list

raumdeuter:
Is Martinez the best penalty stopper in the world

He has to. If not him, it will be the Portugal keeper

Ayinde will be a big miss!
Nonetheless, I wish her speedy recovery 🫂🫂

The constitution doesn't prohibit per se but they will lose delegates from the state of CA in the main election

Yeah, it’s the relevant provision with regard to the electors of electoral college I was referring to

ijebosb:
If there was a change, Harris would be the nominee and everybody would begrudgingly fall in line.
Harris could choose Newsom as her VP.

That would work if Harris has officially changed her primary state of residence from CA to another place. Otherwise, Newsom can’t be her running mate because the constitution prohibits both nominees on a presidential ticket from being from the same state.

raumdeuter:
I am not a Democrat but the worst thing they can do at this point is replace Biden. It will simply start a civil war in the DNC

Many people dont want Kamala as the head of the ticket, Then how do you explain importing another possibly white guy to jump over a woman when you spent the past5yrs telling everyone Kamala is capable of ruling

At that point Kamala will probably revert back to her attacks on Biden being a racist that supported bussing

Well, if Biden, himself, withdraws from the race, then I don’t see how a civil war would erupt within the Democratic Party.
Don’t forget that Black women and suburban white, who combine to make up the majority of voters, are the solid base of the Democratic Party. So, Kamala Harris becoming the nominee would barely cause a rift within the party.

In fact, what would really cause strife and civil war within the party is if the DNC skips Harris and chooses another candidate, especially if that person is a White guy.

For various legal and logistical reasons, Kamala Harris is the only practical choice to replace Biden as the nominee, if it comes to that…

I agree. I think he'll play a 3-5-2. Randy as a coach places premium on defence, and with the roster he has he may just play 5 at the back.

We'll wait to see how this will all work out.

I think so too. That 3-5-2 offers great flexibility in terms of attacking and defensive movement

Deltamani:
I think this is the only aspect Randy got it Wrong, we needed a good crosser among the flank players upfront, Kanu and Ajibade doesn’t give that.

If Rinsola was there it would have been better because he picked Macleans and Ihezuo who are also very good in the Air and can also feed from good crosses like Oshoala.


Kanu again has a nagging Knee injury which Racing Louisville has been managing well. She won’t play 90minutes for sure, Maybe Randy has plan for Esther and Ihezuo to play from the flank.. Esther can also cross very well from the Left flank too but her style of play is very deceptive.

Maybe Waldrum is relying on the fullbacks to provide the width. But like almost everyone here, I’m kinda mystified as to why Babajide was omitted
