Honestly, this round of 32 really changed my perspective of the world cup. Starting from S. Africa against Canada, then how Brazil narrowly survived (though I still think the Brazilian team is average), but then 2 heavyweights in Germany and Netherlands in just the 2nd knockout day, simply means teams now know that they are both 11 men on the pitch and don't need to fear the opponent's name or history.

Germany and Netherlands out. France is next to be booted out . Watch out

France can't believe their luck. Easy passage to semi final

E remain small Brazil for join them na God save them

Edimakan:
Sweden to eliminate France
Cape varde to eliminate Argentina

No loud am!

This could be the year Portugal finally clinches the World Cup, who’s to say?

We are watching.

The Dutch were terrible at PK

yes indeed rooting for Ronaldo to win this World Cup so he can retire with the ultimate trophy

Germany should watch it.
I hope they are not following Italy, another storied soccer nation into terminal decline. They are not just producing high quality talents the way they used to.

Anyway it is the way if the world. Empires rise and fall. Uruguay were once untouchable in South America, then came along Brazil, today it is Argentina.

In North Africa Morocco appears to have taken the crown from Egypt while Senegal has become the prime threat on the West Coast, displacing Cameroun as our arch nemesis.

Things change.

was told Paraguay was an easy team because the USA beat them? What happened. Bye Germany and Netherlands

If I was the Netherlands I’d put more pressure on the ball. Morocco aren’t trying to advance past half field and take any risks. They prefer penalties anyway. With low ball pressure, Morocco is benefiting from doing nothing

why you they cap cook and bull dust?

See match statistics!
Morocco was the better side

Calling Brazilian team average and thesame you be calling Germany and the Netherlands heavy weight? more you better leave this punditry work begin fry akara oo because you don't know how to analyse football without being bias.

I'm not surprised about the elimination of Netherlands. I've always believe in Morocco to win the game.

But I was not expecting Germany to crash out to Paraguay.
WTF ?? 🤥

Can an African team enter the semi finals?

Edimakan:
Sweden to eliminate France
Cape varde to eliminate Argentina

Congrats to Croatia in advance

Elzazzi:
You think Morocco will beat The Netherlands? That will be a very tough game

And did I not say so.?

9JAMac10:
All Black Players from Netherlands missed their penalties

So what are you insinuating?

playapayaski:
Morocco dey ball abeg. Best performance I have seen from an African side in a decade or more. No respect or fear. Play it all out in the field.

Exactly. They are the best African team in this tournament so far!

Morocco is the most in-form and exceptional African team to grace the world cup since Roger Milla's Cameroonian side.

This world cup has shown that big names mean nothing... It's not enough to have star-studded teams but no real game plan.

Morocco is miles ahead of:

Portugal
Netherlands
Belgium
Germany
...Maybe even England


Only France and Argentina stand above them, and not even by much tbh.

ogaprime:
And did I not say so.?

Yes. But it was a narrow win and a tough game. Morocco played better and held the game down. I wish they can carry the cup sef. It’s high time the cup comes to Africa!

It's a revolution

You’re right! But I used to think Cameroun is central Africa!

I think officiating in this tournament so far has been a tremendous improvement (aside England vs Ghana game), hence the surprising results we are witnessing. I hope it'll remain this way till the end though.
May the best team triumph

Let me burst your bubbles, Norway will beat Brazil.

Africa? Not yet. Until we start playing other continents without fear. This team can't beat Argentina and France.

I wish I can do Argentina, France, Spain and Norway semi final.
