The Perfect Climax. Sweet End. The best team in the world are the Champions of the world. There was to be no better Climax than this. La Furia Roja's new Golden Generation has conquered the world and deservedly so. They absolutely decimated, annihilated and humbled the now former World Champions, Argentina. Not even the brilliance and magic of Messi could come through for them for he was indeed rendered useless to the point of frustration shown shamelessly in trying to get Cucurella sent off. That, right there was seeing one of the GOATs of the game showing pathetic weakness in the face of a true world class opposition. A sad end but his legacy stays intact. It is Spain's 2nd WC Title, 16 years after the Golden Era of Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Ramos and co dominated World and European competition between 2008 and 2012 (2008 Euros, 2010 WC and 2012 Euros). This new Spanish Golden generation under Luis de La fuente who took over from Luis Enrique after Qatar 2022, began their run and rise at the Uefa Nations League 2022/23 with a win over Croatia in the final. They followed it up with the Euros 2024 win with a 16y/o Yamal as the breakout star. They came close again at the 2024/25 Nations league final losing to C.Ronaldo and Portugal only via penalties. It is indeed symbolic that Yamal, Rodri and co had to get their pound of vengeance flesh from C.Ronaldo and company at this WC's Round of 16. C.Ronaldo again stood in the way but was brushed aside like paper in the way of a cybertruck. Spain won in commanding fashion and now has the Ultimate prize in International football...The FIFA World Cup itself. And their next breakout star is Barca's 19y/o Pau Cubarsi joining Yamal (now 19) as twin leaders of Spain's Generation Next and Generation-NOW. They are indeed all-timer talents on the rise and their story is still thosuands of pages in the making...The Finalissima 🇪🇦 v 🇦🇷 has finally been played and the debate is over...Europe rules over South America right now. Only a resurgent Brazil can bring back the glory of South american football but that still seems some years away. For Now, Spain's new Golden Era since 2023 continues. Vamos Espana! Felicitations!🙌🏽🏆🇪🇦🔥

When Samuel Aghehowa (the guy in Porto) gets back from injury. Spain will be impossible to play against. It's like man city with halland. Now spain will have that striker that can support their midfielders with penetration, physical presence, goals etc. his combination with lamine yamal will be lethal.

I said I will say this only after Spain eventually wins the whole thing.
Argentina had no business reaching the final in the first place. They shamelessly got pushed all the way to that final. Spain are deserved winners and have also saved Football.

Imagine such a shithousery team like Argentina winning this WC. Tufiakwa biko!

If I was the referee I will give Argentina two red cards and Spain 2 penalties. It will be a horrible disgrace to football and even humanity if Argentina won the world cup today.
I now understand. Those who say style and beauty are important in football have a point. Football will even loose its fans if it's played the way Argentina played today.

It is NOT sperm that makes you someone's father!
Other people fight for custody of children tooth and nail. You don't have to do any of that. He's your child and you get ALL the benefits of fatherhood. He carries your name, references you as his father, and if he ever becomes something ALL fatherhood glory will go to you!

Zadok Yohanna in gymwork session at Brighton.

I have not seen them play.
But from stats and player profile, I think sanni suleiman is better than zadok.
Sanni suleimans stats indicate his decision making is better. That is what really sets forwards apart.
Anyway, it's still too early for both of them but that is what the stats seem to indicate.
I mean sanni is having the highest creative passes into the final third for his age.
Again this is too early to judge and I have not even seen them. Just stats

You have to understand some things.
1. Basically as a human being you are special. God created you for a special purpose. Discovering that purpose makes you unique. You are unique the way you are. With unique ideas.
2. Beautiful women are human beings like you. Relax around them. Anyway to be brutal the only thing some ladies have to offer is sex and what does one gain from sex.
3. If you appreciate eand discover yourself. You will not think one beautiful girl is special. You are already special so why think someone else is special. Okay victor osimhen has discovered his talent. He can't therefore be intimidated by a woman's beauty. You are more special than ham these girls you admire. In fact, they should admire you. You don't need to have money to know you are special. Just discover your uniqueness.
4. Please get rid of low self esteem. This is what causes this simping. If you discover your uniqueness you don't have to simo for any man. Simping itself is idolatory. Placing a woman over yourself is idolatory. It's very horrible. Please realize you are unique and special l.

keep trading AFCON blows. when an African country wins the WC and it's not Naija, you come up with another narrative like Afrobeats etc

Are you God who knows the future. Who told you Nigeria cannot be the African country that will win the world cup.
Talents at home and in diaspora are being discovered Everytime. With good coaching all will come together. Relax. I don't want to mention they are many. Femi azewz chrisantus uche, Emmanuel frnandez, ebenizer akinsanmiro etc. we just need a good coach to figure out how to blend things.

Mujtahida:
Watching modern football and the emphasis on positional play, I see why passing dominates the game and why number 10s have vanished.

This change has affected Brazil in a huge way because Brazil relies on free flowing samba with a number 10 in the mould of Ronaldinho dictating play. According to one poster on X, Pep Gaurdiola killed Brazilian football.

Before Pep, the 10 with his dazzling runs and dribbling, defined the game. Now na who 10 wan dribble? As he's approaching with the ball, the opposition team don't come out and try to snag the ball off him. No, instead they retreat and form a low block closing down space and forcing him and his team mates to find a way through by passing the ball.

This accounts for the side to side passing that so much predominates modern football and I hate that shyte.

It's going to be a long night for Brazil. Someone suggested that for Brazil to win again, they have to invent an anti-Pep style of play which will emphasize the uniqueness of Brazilian football. It's an interesting analysis .

https://x.com/i/status/2074482598995190041

I don't understand this idea of the no 10 not being relevant.
I don't even believe it for a second. Ok I'm modern football everyone gets defensive so how do you now break down a low block

The passing game is too predictable and easy to play against. A number 10 is needed to show some surprise.
I don't get this no no 10 thinking. At least Kevin de bruyne is a mo 10

Ancelotti: "It was difficult to press Norway because they put a large number in defense and rely on Ødegaard. Odegaard is hard to press". They should go back to jongo bonito. not totally but put more elements of expressive, creative football in their game.

Brazil lacks true talent. They should go and look for another Ronaldinho or Rivaldo, dem zico, socrates, falcao etc. So no brazilian midfielder is as talented as Odegaard. Na wa

Audacious football is True African football.

See remember Nigeria vs Spain france 98.
It's the few time an African team defeated or were competitive wth a top European or South American team while playing attacking football.
Most African teams play defensive against these top European sides.
But watch that match and it was score me I score you not just defending and waiting for the counter.

Pukkalolo:
After my first painful breakup with my first girlfriend, I made myself a promise:

I'd never use money to win a woman's romantic companionship.
Instead, I'd attract her with the one thing many women deeply crave but rarely say out loud.

What is that one thing?

Let me explain.


First off, understand that money is a form of distraction when it comes to triggering raw genuine attraction in a woman.


I once saw two different videos that explain this perfectly.

In the first video (a scene from a movie clip), some men tried to steal meat from lions using clever DISTRACTIONS. They used their van, noise, and tricks to pull the lions away, then they rushed in to grab the dead antelope. It worked for a moment. But as soon as the lions figured out the tricks the men played, they charged back and chased the men. The men dropped the meat and ran. One wasn’t fast enough. The lion pounced on him.


That is exactly what most men do today. They use money, cars, dinners, trips, and promises as DISTRACTIONS to get sex and companionship. It can work temporarily. She’ll play along.

But the moment she gets her own money or finds a better option…she leaves. In the Western world, she leaves while taking half the man's assets with her and ruining his life in the process.



Now the second video… from a BBC documentary on Kenyan warriors.

These men didn’t use vehicles or tricks. They waited for a pride of lions to make a fresh kill of a buffalo. Then they walked straight toward the lions on foot, calm, bold, confident, showing zero fear. They maintained strong eye contact with the lions while heading towards the lions

As they got closer, the lions began to panic and retreat. Then the men cut off a large piece of fresh meat and walked away calmly and confidently. The lions only returned after the men were gone.



Why did it work? The lions sensed the
Men raw, DANGEROUS MASCULINE ENERGY… These men weren’t begging or tricking the lions with distractions. They were claiming what they wanted with raw dominance and audacity.



Bro… This is the wiser path in 2026 and beyond. As a man, you have to Return to your Raw Masculine Energy

Nature’s default design is simple: Strong masculine energy meets feminine energy and raw attraction happens. Money is secondary. It can amplify things, but it cannot replace the real spark.

Masculine energy is that unapologetic vibe of “I own this situation. I don't give Bleep about what you think.” It shows in. your eye contact, behavior, the way you talk, your decisions, and the way you lead without hesitation.

When a woman feels this energy from a man, her body responds. She gets wetter. She becomes more submissive and drawn to him. Not because he’s rich, but because he feels DANGEROUS in the right way… like the Kenyan hunters the lions respected.



Society, women and women fight hard to suppress this masculine energy. They push men to become nice, simp, safe, understanding providers who use money to impress. Because a man with suppressed masculinity is easier to control, easier to disappoint, and easier to leave when something better appears.

This is why so many men today feel depressed and lost. Their raw natural masculine fire has been buried under layers of female-pleasing and financial performance anxiety.

The wise adaptation is to reset to your core mascot energy..

Money will still matter. But it will come as a bonus, not your only weapon. And when you combine real resources with unstoppable masculine energy, That’s when you become the kind of man women crave and respect.

The issue with money is that time changes things. I mean someone without money now can have money in 2 years time and so when she has the money of what use are you to her.
The money thing can only work in a society like taliban where women's work and employment, business, educational etc opportunities are limited. As long as women have these opportunities they can out earn men and money will be less needed in getting them.
I mean I wa a teacher and I'm now a lecturer and the girls seem to be doin better in school than the boys.
I even have smart girls I talk to and one is already thinking of working in kpmg
In my mind I wonder what amount of money can get a successful woman. 1 billion dollars or what. I'm academia a lot of lecturers are women. So that income disparity is not much anymore.

minfelix:
what more can we as africans do again….because Senegal played everything finish,Les comfortably with a commanding score line till 85th mins and wasnt even playing defensively instead they still kept Belgium on their toes….so how else can Africa do better than this….Morocco sef na Penalty shootout carry them advance….Omo na wa oo

African teams need natural midfield controllers like zudane, okocha,modric etc. it dies not matter if they don't have to play in Europe.
Fir the last 15 to 20 minutes, they play possession football. Holding on to the ball s the best form of defence.
Press resistance midfielders who can cool the game down and pause the game.
That will enrich African teams

This Belgian team is average and overrated. In fact, Norway seems better. With all their talent, Belgium is disappointing

Justice505:
You just remind me about the epic battle of Chelsea and Barcelona when the demonic messi was coming up and Ronaldinho was still in Barcelona, Chelsea coach had to asigne Bularohze to follow Ronaldinho every were he go in that match.

DomPerignon:
Yes, we should use less water so that Bezzos AI data centres can function.

Note that current data centres are a fraction of the proposed size that is needed to power AI.

Apart from consuming huge amounts of water in cooling, AI data centres are projected to require at least double that if current US installed grid capacity which is currently at 50,000GW.

That means AI will require at least 100,000GW.

The human brain requires only about 33 watts and is sentient and is an incredibly efficient machine.

A housefly brain requires far less and is also sentient and can process information around it's environment far more faster than all current super computers combined.

AI data centres also take up a lot of land space and are now commandeering foreclosed farms that ran into bankruptcy due to high land tax and legal issues partnering to GMO license.

So not only does the likes of Bezos wants you to stop using water, they want to also reduce your energy consumption and access to food by converting farm lands to AI data centres.

Why won't Jeff Bezzos and co want you dead?

This to me is a complete lack of imagination.
With more research other alternate forms of energy can be discovered.
Maybe biocells, air, more efficient way of storing energy, solar anything.
Scientists just need to do research into these things thats all.

For me it’s a game orchestrated by your government. Deep down they don’t want this bill to see light of the day. By end of the day something must happen to disrupt it. At the end Tinubu will carry the praise for attempting to create state police but never happened.

If Tinubu want this bill implemented, he will see through it. Weather it means to release more funds.

Even these politicians are not safe.

SolaFide:
THE WORLD CUP IS ONCE AGAIN EXPOSING AFRICAN FOOTBALL (Gragra Cannot Beat Technique)

Every tournament, the World Cup starts, and we are reminded once again that football is not an athletics competition.

A technically gifted player can dismantle an entire midfield that is stronger, faster, and more aggressive than him. We are watching it happen right before our eyes.

For decades, African football has celebrated physicality while neglecting technical development. We praise strength, pace, and "gragra" as if they are football philosophies. They are not.

The gap between many African nations and the world's elite is not talent. It has never been talent. It is development.

A boy in Europe touches the ball thousands more times in structured environments before he becomes a professional. He is taught positioning, scanning, decision-making, first touch, passing angles, and game intelligence. Many of our players are still being taught how to survive football instead of how to master it.

Perhaps the most worrying thing about many African teams at this World Cup is not even the results. It is the absence of a clear football identity.

You watch them and struggle to answer a simple question: What exactly are they trying to be?

Some want to press but cannot sustain it. Some want to play possession football but lack the technical quality. Some sit deep without defensive organization. Others rely entirely on transitions and moments of individual brilliance.

The elite football nations have identities. You know what Spain wants to do. You know what Germany wants to do. You know what Morocco wants to do. You know what Norway wants to do.

Too many African teams still look like collections of talented individuals rather than systems built around a football philosophy. When talent runs out, there is no structure left to fall back on.

That is why every tournament feels like starting from scratch.

New coach. New style. New excuses. Same problems.

That is also why we keep producing players who explode onto the scene, have one great season, and disappear. The foundation was never properly built.

Meanwhile, countries with fewer football resources continue producing players who look more comfortable on the ball, more intelligent in possession, and more complete in every phase of the game.

Morocco saw the future and invested in technical development. The results are there for everyone to see.

The rest of Africa is still celebrating physical battles while the football world is winning technical wars.

Until we stop worshipping athleticism and start demanding elite technical education even from academy level, we will continue to confuse potential with achievement.

Talent is everywhere in Africa.

Development is not.

And that is the difference.

Siyonna Davids on Twitter

Me: 🎙

I always place technically gifted players above those who played Street football to the World. The difference is CRAZY. Reason some regular players in Madugu’s tram can never make my list. Football has EVOLVED and left Nigeria decades behind for real!

Copied

Europe is the reason why African teams lack technically gifted players. Europe keeps on frustrating the technically gifted African players that go to Europe. It is only the physically powerful players that Europe keeps promoting. In fact, Europe frustrates creative African midfielders or players. Ok Europe told us that zaidu sanusi, frank oyeka, Wilfred ndidi etc are better than rabiu ibram, ibrahim muazum, kelechi nwakali, and other technical players Nigeria produces.
Mikel Obi is one glaring example of this. A technical midfielder nearly turned into a central defender by Maurinho and his so called advanced football tactics.
In fact, it is as if the more technical a player is, the less he makes it in Europe. Since our perception of a good player is determined by Europe, this affects how we select players for our national teams. This is part of the reason some people in this forum say we should not always let Europe determine our perception of football. It's not always realistic. Idenna is one moniker here who has similar views even though he can be extreme at times.
What you said is good but this has to be taken into account.

These three are the ones that know how to play teams at the world cup well. Everybody else na follow come.


Cape Verde and CIV making a case so far.

Morocco in particular. First African team to reach the second round of world cup. 1986. Bouderbala abdilazeez and others

Morocco knows how to compete globally even though they are just a bit above average in africa.

You look at a team like Senegal and you just know there’s a real psychological problem with African teams and it’s not necessarily the fear of European teams.

Something is wrong with us in the head. Probably low racial self esteem

Let me say my 5 naira about this.
I once told a fellow Nigerian like me that a white lady sleeps with dogs. Instead of finding it repulsive, he told me because it is a white person, she must have a reason for it. So anything a white man does is good no matter how horrible. I was stunned he was making an excuse for beastiality just because a white person did it. I don't even know what to call it. Inferiority complex or what

EElopa:
This Tunisian team has no talent; I understand that, but the attitude of these players is really irritating as hell. I have seen teams in this tournament with limited talent, but they at least have a fight in them. Haiti, for example, yesterday left everything they had on the pitch; they were simply no match for the Brazilians due to the gulf in quality.

Every single Curacao player ran himself to the ground against Ecuador, and their reward was a point, which at least still kept them in the competition. People around me watching the nonchalant attitude of these Tunisian players are all saying, "Are they even aware they will be eliminated losing this game?"

Japan is a good team, but Tunisia is simply not even trying to put up a fight and make this game at least uncomfortable for them. Japan is simply at ease, and this game is like the first preseason game for them.

I am beginning to really hate the Tunisia national team. These fools always come to the World Cup gift-out points and exit in the first round. I am perplexed by their ability to consistently navigate the qualifiers, only to falter on the world stage. Countries such as Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Gambia, Gabon, Angola, and Zambia must take action to halt Tunisia's World Cup qualifications. I am so sick of seeing this useless team every time in the World Cup just fucking coming there to mark attendance.

I don't think the problem is necessarily talent
They have up to 7 or more players playing in Europe. Some in countries like turkey, france etc. also the Tunisian league is at least one of the best in africa and they have players from there. They even have that Hannibal former Manchester United prodigy in their team.
So at least they should get better results than this.
Some African teams with similar level of players get results. Ok togo was at least competitive when they qualified for the world cup.
Of course, Malik will do better. It's an attitude problem
How many good players does australia has and they seem to be decent.

Nigeria vs Spain.
Why.
Reason is it's one of the few times an African team defeated a top European team by playing attacking football and not just trying to defend.
Yes, that generation did score mr I score you with a top European team. They did not just defend and wait for the counter

You are out there wasting the time of a young woman or a young man..

You want her body, you want his money and you play the long game.

Youth of this generation.

Because of basic human instinct.
Mother nature said human beings should reproduce and it does not have to be by marriage.
Forget society and culture. At a basic biological and emotional level, human beings are sexually and emotionally attracted to each other. Also without reproduction the human race will go extinct.
A woman is first a mother before a wife. Even a human wether male or female is first a parent before becoming husband or wife.
Mother nature needs humans to reproduce and so she out mating instincts in us.
We are just having large brains that can think abstract thoughts and so we call it marriage.

FiveFootNinja:
Hating aside, SA's biggest problem has always been 1) their attack and 2) lack of consistency. Their attack is notoriously frantic and disorganized. Their defense and midfield is actually very solid (on their best day), but where they continuously flop is converting it to organized attacking sequences that can lead to goals.

Maybe...they don't have explosive players in the kast third of the pitch. Maybe they don't produce fantastic forwards. As in eto, drogba etc. They lack that x factor player

I t or ta tin so. We get 2 problems.
1. We need midfielders
2. We believe it is only Europe (especially top 5 leagues) that has God players.
There was a time it was midfield defence and goalkeeper but at least we are fixing our defence and goalkeeping issue and it's better.
But we need to get better midfielders that can withstand teams with either a technical, tactical or physical midfield.
The solutions are there and I believe we will explore it with time but we need to be fast about it.

3 yrs deal. New number 9 for the Serbian League Champions. And he needs no bloody switch before he can get called up. Eric Chelle should bring him in fast. I forwarded his name last week to one of Chelle's scouts. Time will tell.

I think we need that onyeka guy. The german nigerian kid as he is an attacking midfielders. Then Gibson Yah in holland. any other midfielder out there.
Dont you feel we have just too many strikers.

I think we should go after midfielders from anywhere. from nigeria to europe to the moon.
ok lets name forwards. umar abubakar at famalicao in portugal. ogundu in germany, arokodara, taiwo awoniyi and sadiq umar are still very decent. moffi, many more i cant remember.
abeg lets concentrate on midfield and defence. this is what the real real problem is.
we especially need more options in midfield. the defence is at least getting filled with people

Nomyth:
I believe most Nigerians will be more comfortable with that Cape Verdean goalkeeper than someone like Okoye, yet he plays in the Portuguese second division while Okoye plays in Serie A.

Another reason why the " where he plays matters " argument is so weak.

The Egyptian team that drew with Belgium.
Around 70% of the players are not in Europe.
Europe is the best but not clearly or always the best 100% of the time.
Reality is messy and not straightforward as people think.
Tactics of the coach matters. i mean an European based player may simply not fit into the coach's tactics.
Also, opportunity is not always equal.
Even European perception of a player is not always accurate.
People on this site just classify everybody in Europe as better.
There are nuances they refuse to see.
It is well. time and reality will keep showing up these exceptions

In schools here in Nigeria, SS3 science students are taught to memorize the first 20-30 chemical elements. They're taught to become independent of the periodic table

SS3 Mathematics students also are encouraged to learn to calculate without a calculator?!

All to what end? What's the point of all these suffering in our schools?

We're still writing formulas on paper in order to calculate a simultaneous equation, when there are calculators that can do these calculations in seconds!
We should as well encourage students to use firewood to cook their food
Gas cylinders should be abandoned.

Humans were built to excessive their intellect. We were created with large brains that need to analyze something. This is why God gave Adam work to take care of Eden. If you give somebody 1 million dollars everyday and stopped him or her from using his brain for anything, such a person will commit suicide. I mean life without work is hell. This is why rich people's children are not happy.
Secondly there are still a lot of things in maths, science, art, social science etc that have not being discovered. Machines alone cannot do it. Humans need to do it. All machines can do is help.
Lastly not using yiur mind cam make someone run mad. I mean loosing one's mind is often used as a term for insanity.
