Bro Congo DR really deserved to qualify, and SA too. I hope we get things right someday

EElopa:
The Dr. Congo coach is an elite-level coach, and I will be shocked if he stays with that team after this World Cup. Some of these Middle Eastern countries will throw the kind of money at him that Dr. Congo cannot just match. They still have some top attacking talents coming to them after the World Cup, like Senny Mayulu of PSG.

I don't know if he will choose to stay and chase the AFCON title and perhaps a real run in the 2030 World Cup with some big attacking talents that are on their way. The Democratic Republic of Congo will be a problem in Africa for the next foreseeable future.

AFCON, to me, has now established itself as the second most competitive continental tournament, only behind the Euros. He is milking out every ounce of ability in that Dr. Congo team. I love Eric Chelle, but he tactically outmaneuvered him in that playoff finals. England struggled with Ghana's and Panama's low block and physicality, and they can give England problems.

They are now playing with house money. They have nothing to loose anymore. They have outperformed expectations, and all the pressure in the world will be on England on that day. The world will expect England just like they expected Portugal to tame them, but it is now up to Dr. Congo to shock the world like they did against Portugal.

Hope you guys can sew the winning mentality most African teams have showcased in this tournament

When it mattered the most, they've shown courage and strength. This is lacking in the current Super Eagles. Sir mujtahida, has my point been made or not? Hope you can see it now?

Automatically, super eagles is a laughing stock. All of the African teams that made it through no have bragging right and rightfully so.

NFF, wrll done oo!!!

Let someone hype nonsense for any of these players again. I guess we won't be seeing ludicrous comparisons to actual world class players again

When we are ready as a nation we will stop pampering our players and let them know actions have consequences and it's a privilege to play for the country. Look at what Uruguay did to their players because they couldn't qualify for the round of 32 but we will be saying our players tried because they won bronze at Afcon.

Someone said I was saying rubbish because I insisted Chukwueze should never be called to the super Eagles because his Afcon penalty miss.
Please fill me in. What did Uruguay do to their players?
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 5:39am On Jun 28
Algeria vs Switzerland will see Vladimir Petkovic, Coach of Algeria come up against his home nation and former team.
He was Switzerland NT coach for 7yrs between 2014 and 2021.
Coached them to Euros 2016 and 2020.

Football does it again.

I never still understand this your argument wey you don dey yarn for how many weeks now. I guess according to your logic, there's no need playing AFCON, so we don't even need to qualify. Afterall WC is more important.

Don't be surprised if
1) South Africa beat Canada (Canada is trash for me so far)
2) Senegal beat Belgium (I just have that feeling)
3) Egypt beat Australia (If Australia wins sef I'll be surprised)
4) DRC beat England (yes, I'm not impressed with the England team. Plus DeSabre's DRC is good at frustrating teams like England who play safe and rotate the ball endlessly, waiting for openings. I see them bottling to DRC.)

The other African countries might not scrape through.

Morocco are crazy strong and stubborn, but the Dutch are one of the few teams in this WC who I believe can stop Morocco cold. If the Dutch can't stop them, Morocco might be reaching another SF.

Norway with Haaland in front is going to be a handful for Ivory Coast. Ivory Coast will surely concede at least 2 goals. The question is if they can score enough to match Norway.

Something tells me Ghana and Cape Verde have run out of lives against Colombia and Argentina respectively.

Switzerland Algeria will be close, but I think the Swiss simply have too much firepower for the North Africans.


But then again, this is football. Maybe all the African teams I said will progress won't progress, and the ones I said won't progress will progress.

Or maybe all of them will come home like you said.
