Lol.... People dey rejoice for friendly win?

Most big teams use friendlies to downplay their strength so they can't be rightly predicted by fellow big teams and to brush up their upcoming players, they hardly put in any effort. It's like training for them.

Why will anyone rejoice over winning friendly, it defeats the whole purpose.
Rubbish talk.

The English team was only able to beat Andorra by the slimmest margin of 1-0.

Africans and colo mentality 🤷🏾‍♂️

What did Jamie Carragher say that was so wrong?

He said that Mohammad Salah doesn't need to win the African Cup of Nations to become a Ballon D'Or contender.

Had George Weah even played in AFCON when he won the Ballon D'Or in 1995?

So why are Africans reacting to an honest opinion like a bunch of toddlers?

Resnik:
They underestimated African football, I hope Jamie Carragher watched that game. Stupid fool

But Gareth is the one that resigned. He wasn't fired.
I believe he resigned due to the too many badmouthing from the country's too many pundits.

I don't know why England parted with Gareth Southgate. Man has given them one of the best results they could get in recent times. From taking the team to the first semi-finals of the WC since 1966, to getting to back-to-back finals of the Euros. Even Zlatko Dalic of Croatia hasn't done close to what Southgate had done for England, yet he still retains his job as the coach of Croatia.

I guess this is what you get when a nation is filled with too many football pundits.
Southgate resigned

with all those mid EPL player, what do you expect. England should look into developing a team rather than farming top league players.

Winning is winning.There is nothing like friendly.
Some big teams take friendly very serious also especially against a "smaller" team in order to preserve their prestige,pride and bragging right.
You think this match will not enter football history book?
You can see the writeup by yourself............ "their first defeat to an African side in 22 meetings"

That's the record big teams normally try to maintain for prestige sake not minding if it's friendly or not.

Just admit that this current England squad are woke!

Those guys really tried to have played a country like Russia that is at war front with Ukraine and banned by FIFA. I watched the game, it was as if those Russians are waging war with Nigeria on the pitch!

Very nice response. As if all those things got much to do with preparation, discipline and optimal performance/delivery
Our people are mostly shallow minded. You see them accusing young boys of looking irresponsible. And they are yet to hold their politicians that do not look irresponsible but that are actually irresponsible accountable.

How many Man U, Chelsea and City players played that game? I'm sure more Arsenal and Liverpool players did. So why couldn't they still win? As if the clubs where the African players are playing for are not struggling at the moment too. No excuse at all for their loss abeg.
no excuse or any cogent reason why they lost. Senegal were the better team

arantess:
Going by your logic, the whole EPL is struggling too.

If 2nd -4th position and teams that qualified for UCL are termed strugglers, then the whole league is struggling.

Your logic not mine
Arsenal and Liverpool that won EPL lose same games, which is 4 lose. Arsenal draws 14games and Liverpool draws 9games
