Game over!
3 Lion 2 vs Leopard 1.
The Leopard try their best.
They gave a good account of themselves.
It shows that their elimination of Nigeria and representing Africa in our stead was well deserving.
I don't think this our current Super Eagle would have gone pass the group stage.
Well done the Leopard!👍

Black Africans lack speed and agility. They are always sluggish and slow.


Maybe its our food or culture or how our brain is wired. It's not normal, its a pattern and its not about inferiority complex
Nope... Not speed, but football intelligence.

The fastest and most skilled players are either African or of African descent.

Africans need to sharpen their football skills by improving their approach to the game.

Only Morocco understands this.

you don't expect a 35-year-old to outrun a 25-year-old, for me the DRC coach got it all wrong.

As predicted... England scores.

What did I say?!!

It's game over!
imagine it was all those players not informed that tuchel took to the tournament, players like palmer, foden. Players who has hardly score a goal this year. They would have probably loss this game against Congo, or at worst got to PK

They were in the fight till the last.

They would learn from this experience.

Well done England. Be ready to be tested by the Mexican in their fortress of a stadium
They made same mistake the ivorians made

... They just shutdown, tempo dies, hunger disappears.
It's difficult to get past an A-team twice esp as an underdog, you must let all hell loose to stay winning not chicken in

Oga favourite were chosen before the competition start not when it has started. Before the World Cup the most favorite were Portugal France, England, and Argentina

Reference:
Rashford played a very selfish game, desperately trying to be a hero. Should sit in the loo till he is purged.
You see that Rashford, with regards to selfishness, he is beyond redemption.

Tuchel should just bench him next game.

If you check the blacks playing for France and others, they grew up with Whites so they acquired some of their traits from childhood
They grew up in an environment with systems where that skill was nurtured and developed right from childhood, even in their schools. If they had grown up in Africa, it would be a different story.

Most Africans only grew up playing football on the streets. These Europeans have been playing professionally from childhood

Bro, Kane apart, nothing dey this England team... Absolutely NOTHING!

Congo showed them wey too much respect. For what reason?!!

Who really dey Morocco or Paraguay?!! Yet, they bested far more experienced and star-studded teams.

Sometimes, you just have to believe and FIGHT!

Die fighting, rather than limp off losing.

Well, I trust Mexico to teach these English Pretenders a lesson or two in R16.
Too much respect from where...

Those Congo defenders were tired.. in the 2nd half...

To even mark Kane was a problem....

How many real live football have u played, believe and fight...and win..

Analysis dey sweet for mouth...

Everything comes to depth....of your team

I beg to differ
England is on cruise mode... More like a nonchalant aura

They just need to find harrykane, it's that'simple for em
No wahala... That's why they won't smell this trophy.

They should keep cruising and playing rubbish.

An African man saying this about himself.

Look yourself in the mirror, what do you see?
He lacks the brain to understand he's demeaning and degrading his own self.

No wonder Morocco has left the rest of you Africans behind.

A lot of these African teams will just take the lead or equalize, the next thing is to start defending or casually tossing away chances. undecided

I wonder why they don't take the chances to kill off games.

DR Congo should have buried this game by now.
Because they have tactically defective coaches which is the major problem for the african teams. Since congo could match dem pace for pace and was actually srtonger, dey needed a high aggressive press(gengen pressing) instead of deep defending.

Of course you will tire out if your strategy is to defend. Why didn't they play the way they did in the first half, on the front foot.

Keep what you catch is no longer a football strategy. It expired in the 90's. Even the masters of the dark art, Italy, no longer feartures at the highest levels.
