This was so heartwrenching to watch. I felt like shedding tears for Senegal, alas shedding tears for Africa.


How in God's name do you conceed two goals in 3 minutes?

How?

This loss is all the coach, Papa Thiaw, you have no business making those early subs when leading 2 - 0, your first two subs should be at 80'...., Second two subs should be at 89' , then the last one at 93'... That way you will effectively kill any form of momentum from Belgium.


Imagine the Idiot removing the steel in his midfield who was helping old Gueye to hold the Belgians at bay in the 60th minute...


Nonsense

Finally saw the two goals that drew the game. It's either fate is a cruel joker or Senegal is just under a spell from a newly initiated witch!

Okay y'all have shat the bed. Hold on for a shootout. No, they bent over for some Belgian ass smack.

This was the easiest match Senegal had among the three Europeans.

Besides that Penalty is a 50/50 tackle from both players.

Why will you give such a highly debatable pk at such a dying minutes of the game. This is why they beat some refs


Who he had given Senegal that pk if it was the other way around?

Nonsense Racists

SymphonyRad:
Thanks for taking me back that torturous memory lane...I was depressed for some days after that game, Ighalo's sitter miss and that legit PK call we never got even made it worse.

Omo if we no do our job well, onyibo go help us jah us kpata kpata…that why as african use your chances well, onyibo man go throway face when its time to favour you

PDPGuy:
I still blame Victor Moses for switching off, defensively, and allowing Rojo a free reign to plant that header into the net 😡

We really need to learn to reserve energy when it matters the most

Egypt will lead 2-0 and you'd come from behind to beat them ke?

Cape Verde had better not give us hope by taking the lead and then shitting the bed deep into the game I no get any more strength to crash out.

Make una go tell Egypt say Australia no b mumu team ooo…that Iran dey were playing 1-1 with use to collect wotowoto from Australia ooo….Although Asian teams do not usually give Africa much headaches like Europe and South America

FiveFootNinja:

TheSuperNerd:
Sadly, It was a penalty. Lamine Camara did kick Tielemans' foot and not the ball. Pape Thiaw's game management was shitty and taking out Pape Gueye on 66mins, so early to bring in Lamine Camara who went on to concede a pen is quite pointedly disastrous.

Belgium wins and it is Afcon final De Ja Vu for Senegal.

Darkhorse Belgium survives another African Powerhouse.

You are spot on as usual. Meanwhile why didn't Senegal do like they did in the AFCON final, maybe Tielemann for lose the penalty too.

Our "6- and 7-African teams to qualify for Round of 16" folks, I greet una ooo.

Truidstarr, I greet u too.

4 down, 1 in... 4 to go ⏳️

TheSuperNerd:
Truidstarr said it but una think say na joke... He boldly said no african team will make it to the Round of 16. Only Morocco has escaped that his wicked prediction. 3 have fallen.

I remember my reply to him. That he could be either 100%, 88.9% (8/9) or 77.8% (7/9) or 66.7% (6/9) correct. So far, his is the closest.


5 reps to go now. To those who predicted 6 or 7 to make it through, una don already fail am ooo. 5 left and no way all 5 make it to make the prediction of 6 come through.

Next up: Belgium v Senegal.

Oh God, Gernot Rohr's darkest days. 😭😭🤧😮‍💨

Watching USA v Bosnia

The difference between the US crowd supporting their team at home compared to Mexicans supporting their home team is massive.

More noise
More atmosphere
More engaged
More fun

Folarin Balogun gave USA the lead against Bosnia but he was offside

Cheering for team USA 🇺🇸 to advance past Bosnia . Support the country you live or live in the country you support.

A replay would be lovely. Even lovelier Mbappe and co caries it this time. I foresee a lopsided final.

Sugarboyy:
France "might" win this time. This France squad is scary even though I would be vouching for Argentina

Balogun is a very good striker. Beautiful goal

Penalty or no penalty

Senegal deserved to loose that game

Conceding 2 goals in such critical time is unforgiveable

From the start of this tournament, they've looked like the shadow of themselves

I leave it at that

Balogun sooo close to making it 2-0 😲

The U.S.A are still the most exciting team in this World Cup. Sweet football galore!!!

Flooooooo BALOGUN GOAAAAALLLL!!!

USA TAKES THE LEAD OVER BOSNIA. Our naija boy making America proud

Balogun is just SO good. He’s way too fast for them. Bosnia can’t stop him.

It is sad and unacceptable that the last time a sub-Saharan African team won a WC knockout match was way back in 2010, when Ghana beat the USA 2-1 after extra time!

Odunayaw:
Senegal please don't be like the rest

E kaaro Sir 😏😏

Mujtahida:
I like the way Senegal is playing. Quick, swashbuckling and energetic.

But I still want them to come home. Dakar needs them

They're on their way to Dakar

9JAMac10:
Balogun is just SO good. He’s way too fast for them. Bosnia can’t stop him.

Both legs are good just like Dembele's, he also athletically sculpted.

TheSuperNerd:
Naaah not yet. 6/9 or 7/9 into the Round of 16 should kindly happen

Switch Off your hatewatch for this game, my good man. There are others to come.

Senegal switched off. Others ain't coming. More to go.

Goke7:
It has happened 2-2 and am happy

So you are in our camp?

Balogun has been red carded 🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️

😂😂😂😂😂

Dear Cape Verde if you know you will not be able to defend your lead please don't score . Don't give us false hope 😭 we are still recovering from Senegal and Congo dr

Joke of a red card. An absolute joke. A lot of rules need to be modified after the World Cup. Gutted for our naija boy Balogun
