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
Stop this STIPID overhyping of those people. There is absolutely nothing special about them just that we refuse to think critically is the only difference.

For the past hundred years Africans are always learning. We nor dey graduate?
You only graduate when you die.

Even the whites have a "lessons learnt" in all their approaches and methodologies.

Stop disparaging Africans!

Congrats to the Congolese - hats off for them.

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
Which fortress of a stadium? Is the match not played in America?

Nope... In Mexico City.

So, America (US), Canada and Mexico.

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.
STOP THIS "AFRICANS" NONSENSE.

IN FOOTBALL YOU LOSE GAMES, SOMETIMES DUE TO SHEER BAD LUCK, EG WISA'S BALL THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 2-0 CONGO.

OR DUE TO THE FACT UNLIKE YOUR TEAM, YOUR OPPOSITION HAS A SPECIAL STRIKER LIKE HARRY KANE.

OR MBAPPE.

OR VINICIUS.

OR HAALAND.

OR MESSI.

NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PROBLEM IF YOUR OPPOSITION HAS A PLAYER LIKE THAT.

What depth sir?!! Those defenders sitting on the bench were there for what?!! Decoration?!!

Stop excusing mediocrity abeg.

No wonder Morocco has left the rest of you Africans behind.
Why don’t you go kick the ball if you knew any better…

Congo played very well today and they are meeting one of the best teams in the world…
Why didn’t you cry when Croatia lost 4-2 to them?
It’s not about mediocrity, it’s about making use of what they have and they did everything…

You are comparing Congo to England where they have the resources and funding for talent development and have primier league to Congo that has been exploited and still being exploited for years… maybe you don’t know what’s happening in Congo presently

Dont be too harsh on them.
We Africans are a generally emotional and reactionary people ( I hope i am not being discriminatory) .Our thoughts will be calmer and rational in a few hours time
Re: England Vs DR Congo: World Cup 2026 Round Of 32 (2 - 1) On 1st July 2026 by frog12: 7:30pm On Jul 01
yes, that would have given Congo 2 goals

but their goalie stopped 3 goals.

I think DRC should have won this match they were just afraid to tackle the England players and they were also tired. They did really really well.

Kudos to them!

Unfortunately you don't have any comprehension skills that is the reason you cannot understand my comment.
We play a lot of matches and do our best but we still end up losing this is very common with African teams that is what I meant by "we nor dey graduate"?
Thanks for reminding me to stop disparaging Africans I never knew that I was a white man you just reminded me today.

African teams need to rid themselves of this inferiority complex mentality when playing European teams. They play like they're afraid to go full attack.
God will bless you a million times for this! You indeed echoed my mind. I don't know why African teams will keep respecting these big European teams. Look at how they played England in the first 10mins of the game. And after the goal came, they switched off.

I am really pissed with Doctor Congo right now, honestly! I mean, how could they respect England that much??

Omor...it will take a very lonnnnnng time before Africa will win the WC, let's not deceive ourselves!

Look at Ivory Coast too yesterday against Norway.

An African man saying this about himself.

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
My friend will you keep kwayet, those players would have created chances upon chances than what we saw now.
Did you see England do anything from middle apart from going wide and relying on crosses

It's lack of skill and tactics. See the French team almost all blacks, and black players featuring prominently in other Eupean teams.

I actually believe blacks are physically stronger and faster. What we lack is poor investment in sports. These things has to start from the grassroot.

See the way Americans dominate in basketball, American football, and baseball, while Europeans lead in football/soccer.
When South Africa was eliminated, I wrote: "Other African teams will also start dropping out in short order. African teams are still playing amateur football that relies on skill and athletism. The only African country that seem to have figured out world class soccer is Morocco. For some strange reason, other African countries can't figure it out. Morocco will go furthest than all African countries because they are playing the game exactly the way world class teams do."

Don't twist it. It's obvious you are trying to put a spin on it.

You are an African who is subservient to the whites. Improve on your self worth
