Sweden to eliminate France
Cape varde to eliminate Argentina
It's a very big possibility fir Argentina to get eliminated by Cspr Verde. Messi go cry water if that happens. Football has changed seriously. You can allow your opponent to waste their energy and get more possession while you just strategically wait to pounce on their errors and wins. Na that one dey pain pass.

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.
I rate Nigeria team above Morocco,
I rate Senegal above Morocco


Remove mismanagement, corruption and bad psychology from Super Eagles, no team can beat us easily. The best any team should get is a draw

Netherlands being eliminated in the round of 32 and by an African team, is certainly not an outcome any football analyst or pundit would have imagined in this world cup, not even in this decade.

Truly mind-blowing stuff!
African Team should eliminate the US team .
I want to check something

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
That's my observation too.... officiating has been top notch....no reckless foul whistling.

Nigeria and Senegal are also good, but not yet on Morocco's level.

While Nigeria's attack will bring results, their defense won't hold up against elite teams... Senegal is currently all over the place for some weird reasons.

Morocco, on the other hand, is practically SOLID in almost all departments, especially midfield and defense... They are the only African team that effectively man-mark for over 90 minutes.

They may not have Nigeria's attacking and finishing quality, but they are more balanced, relentless and complete.

He was talking of male football..Which Nigerian team exactly are you talking about? Morocco has taken years to build a super squad as evident by their performance both at the last AFCON and World cup. They are also well positioned in the FIFA rankings.

You are here ranking the super chickens above Morocco. Chickens who couldn't top their group in qualifiers and even after a second chance couldn't move pass DRC. A child that doesn't go out thinks the mother is the best cook

Netherlands almost pulled that off against Morocco.

Morocco outplayed them for the entire game, yet they almost won with that lucky strike from Gakpo. With better defending, they would have nicked it... They could have won it during the shootout if their players were not being stupid by playing such weak penalty shots (Kluivert, Summerville and Timber).

Timber was just outrageous, tossing that ball away like that.

Reference:
World cups traditionally held outside Europe does not favour Europeans. They generally don't just play well. I think Germany winning in 2014 was the only exception. France may do it due to the 'black' factor but I think it is Argentina's to lose....or even Brazil with the Ancelotti factor....who knows.

But spare a thought for the France of the old ages, (the country that started adopting nationals from its colonies into its team) a powerhouse of global soccer, a talent generator, the Netherlands or 'Neverlands'.... when, when, when....
What of Spain winning the world cup in this our Africa? Also with no black players.
Europeans losing has nothing to do with the event being held outside Europe. They failed because they fail.

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.
Do you just call the almighty Brazilian team average? My guy stop watching football and start joining women to play tete. You have no business in football.

Brasil is the only team in the world that even her worst days still win trophies e.g 2002. They even qualify through playoff and then come and win the World Cup. No team in the world can. No matter how bad Brasil is beating them you will have to shit in your panties. This same Morroco played Brasil in this tournament. If they have added more ten min Brasil would have won even though Morroco is one of the best team in the world right now.

Love your analysis... To me, I think although well definitely concede goals, we'll be able to beat the Morocco team... We have one of the best attacks in Africa

Yet Morocco has no single triumphy .
Not even afvon that Nigeria has carried in recent times with late keshi

Not even Olympic golf medals in soccer football?

Nigeria has more under 17 world cup than any team out there and Morocco can't even stand a chance


What are you even bla.bbing about?

You are still among those using sentiments to watch football🤦🏿

Nobody is doubting the history of Brasil, but this current squad is average na. Brazilian teams used to have multiple world class footballers, but this particular one has dem Paqueta, Rayan, Cunha, Igor Thiago, Danillo, Fabinho, Santos, Gabriel etc. Even Casemiro no get club like this, that's to tell you say e football stock don drop compared to before wey big clubs for Don Rush am like hot akara. Apart from Vini, Guimares and Allisson, I see the rest as average abeg.

How many of this Brazilian squad players go fit challenge/ play regular starting football for major European club wey dey always contest trophies?

It's not always about sentiments or history, like some others that quoted too. But all the same, it's just my thoughts.🤷🏿

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.
Oga he's not talking about Brazil Pele, Ronaldinho or that of prime Neymar Jr rather he's talking of Brazil which Vini Jr and Richarlison are the star players so for me, they're average as compared to Germany and Netherlands
