Nwabali's clublessness dey worry me.

Next football season go start August. If by the end of July, hin no see club sign am, make hin come back NPFL.

Playing for Enyimba, Rivers United or any other NPFL club is better than being clubless and inactive.

Iran has finally equalised. This battle of the Arabs is already lit! 1-1
Nah it’s simple battle of Middle Easterners, because the Iranians are Persians, while Egyptians are the Arabs 😁

Well, you are right.. Persians are not arabs but all of them na Allahu Akbar's grin

So let me term it Perso-Arab battle.😂

Egypt and Iran is going as I expect.... a tight draw game. Anyone could still nick the win but it's looked balanced so far.

FiFA should dead the talk of 64 nations WC. Yes they will make more money but it will lose its appeal.
64 is better than 48.

There won't be best 3rd place finishers, which to me is rubbish. A team that did poorly at the group stage can end up in the final or close.

Let's bet
Croatia have finished 2nd and 3rd in the last world cups. Do you think they will allow Ghana stop their chances of going further?

FT Croatia 3-0 Ghana
Thank you
I really don't understand the over hype on the very bad Ghana team here
Ghana can never win Croatia

.
You're perfectly right, a case study is Italy at US 94 (finished as 3rd), defeating one of the most entertaining teams of that tournament, Nigeria that topped their own group. Italy ended up in the final.

Egypt that began MD 3 as top of Group G will now finish 3rd and still go through.

As you surely understand, hope alone won’t improve our chances in World Cups.

If we don’t do the prerequisite work for the improvement, then what will God bless to make the hope manifest?

Cape Verde's WC be like..... grin
Equalled Cameroon record of Espana 82,though Cameroon did not made it to round of 8 despite not losing any of their matches,they drew Peru,Poland and eventual winner Italy....teams should thank FIFA for expansion,then not easy to qualify,Africa had two slots,increased to three in 1994,reason why i do give respect to eagles of 80s to early 90s,imagine 10 slots and missed out,i pity this generation if they failed to qualify for next WC then i don't see any of them in all time eagles XI.
