Attack looking like the weakest link.

Very solid midfield with a lot of techies unfortunately like that X factor player required to well at a tournament as huge as the WC.

Predicting a quarterfinal exit for the Oranje.

TheSuperNerd:
Netherlands' Final WC 2026 Squad is here... The Oranje Gang of Holland 🔥

Jurrien Timber making it is no news but his brother Quinten joins him in the WC Squad.

TheSuperNerd:
Coach Eric Chelle already thinking about the next Afcon Semis and the game changers needed to get past that stage into the final to get us that 4th Title.

He wants to be African Champion.

Mentality!!!

Well, 1/4 finals is the common final busstop of the darkhorses with one maybe sneaking into the Semis. Time will tell.

But Chris, abeg take ya time... no dey talk say My Holland no get attack even if e true... Keep am to yourself ornwhisper am for my dm. No discourage me bikonu.

Brazil, Netherlands and Morocco are still in my heart at WC tournaments. Been a tradition. So no give me bad news.

Me I've fallen out of love with the Dutch since when their golden generation of the 1990s and early 2000s couldn't win anything.

TheSuperNerd:
That is the much talked about Ayobami Junior. Attacking midfield player. I hear he is "officially" 28 or so.

That man supposed be Ayobami senior o. Nothing junior for that side 😂

One of the coolest squad unveiling videos. Brazilians always know how to bring the party to every WC.

Chai maybe by now we for don drop one Afrobeat theme squad reveal

3SC lads at the Unity Cup.... yet to get a game.

Ayobami Junior and Tijani Al-Ameen

Up "suuting"

Lads? These are mature men the man on dread could have up to 3 teenage children.


But let me guess I'm wrong and they are both in their early 20s.

The Golden Generation of the 70s... the Golden Generation of the 2000s. They all bottled. 😭

But their Golden Generation of the late 80s/90s overlap won something. Euros 1988.

Kaaaiii... Even in 2026, there are still people who no nice for this thread.

See me dancing here mehn with my head... If na by Squad Unveil, they have won the WC. Lol

But seriously, Brazil may not be favorites and rightly so but they still pack serious talent, quality and experience in this side and they have Ancelotti. Time will tell shaa...

Back to the video.

And abeg, Positive Vibes only before u call Elyte back to be asking where all our players dey vs DRC. Ejoor.

It was ladies like Drya and Safarigirl that's makes me come out of my shell to register,

Sir Icon4s and his love for Enyimba and tales of Old got me glued, finally to discover we both attend same school with him as my Snr

If Brazil is lucky enough to avoid the top 3 favorites before the finals, they will surely go far.

Morocco should crash out of the first round, for what trying so hard to ruin African football

same here, I was an observer for over 2 years before I finally registered

Femi Azeez reminds me of the legendary Nigerian whiz kid winger cum striker, Osaze.
His runs and direct play.
His eyes are on the goals
His ability to use both feet well.
His top-notch crossing ability.
His ability to dribble past opponents.

I expect Coach Eric Chelle to include him in the June friendlies.

Abeg when is the next match

Weighing the chances of African teams vs the top seeded teams in their group:

Brazil vs Morocco(Brazil should be careful of Morocco, those arab guys are Africa’s number one for a reason)

England vs Ghana(This current Ghana team no get liver to stand England)

Portugal vs DRC(No way out for DRC, this hungry portuguese teams are fixing their gaze at giving CR7 a world cup parting trophy)

Argentina vs Algeria(Algeria of 2026 na beans)

Netherland vs Tunisia(since 2002 ive been seriously watching worldcup, these Tunisians,their job has always been to qualify for worldcup and jah in group stage,Netherland go too beat them)

Mexico vs SA(A return leg of 2010 world cup opener, in that Edition the superior Mexico was almost succumbing to SA home advantage, in this reverse fixture, i doubt SA will stand the pressure of the Mexican home fans)

Germany vs CIV(CIV make una no vex, Germany go pound una)

Belgium vs Egypt (Egypt can still struggle to hold Belgium, the golden generation of belgium has passed)

Spain vs Cape verde(Cabo Verdo plss sorry, you are getting sliced in and out by that small starboy Lamine Yamal and co)

France vs Senegal(France with all their star players should watch it, they are facing the african France in senegal….Mbappe and co will sweat this one out…Senegal of 2025/2026 is a menace to European teams

Lol... As Arsenal own no work, Morocco own must work abi. Make Jumia bottle delivery favor u this time.

That Brazil vs Morocco game will see me favour Brazil but that Ouahbi coach na defensive savage ooo. If he frustrates Brazil so much ehn, e no go easy.

That's how must of us are on Nairaland,
I was more on literature section, then

Na one of the authors in literature section, and Chelsea thread on sport section that brought me here as an observer, and that Author is Safarigirl, known as First lady here

Papi85:

France, Spain and Argentina are the top 3 favorites. England and Portugal complete the top 5.

Brazil against any of these 5 could spell doom or destiny.

June 26, 2026.

A World Cup Matchday I hope not to miss.

Issorayt, FIFA is now dumb and refuse to interfer.
Had it been it was a country in Africa the story would be different.
Russia VS Ukrain; FIFA stopped Russia.
Israel VS Palestine/Iran; They went quite

Danielnino00:

So u no get liver!!!

Yan Diomande (19) is now Africa's Most Valuable Player on Transfermrkt. 90M Euros Market Value.

#18 Sani Suleiman (19) in Preseason SA Tour with RB Leipzig.

He was part of the winning team in training today.

11 defenders in SA's final WC Squad... 11 Defenders!!

Na 5 man backline dem wan execute?

Anyway, Nigerian-South African, Ime Okon makes it.

Similar results in the two matches we played them in the wcq and the narrative here would have been different. Oh well.
