France is the likely favourite to win this world cup.
No team can stop them

Argentina is weak at the back
Brazil doesnt play as a team
Spain is too soft

Morocco don enter Quarter be that.
Re: Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Thread by LagbajaTheBEREAN: 10:41am On Jul 04
Upsets go still deh this quarter final sha, I doubt it Portugal will scale through though.

But still upsets go deh. One Africa team to sneak in to the Semis. One of the so called GOATs (there's actually no such thing as greatest of all time, as time is a never ending phenomenon, it's safe and more better to say that so and so players have been the best players in the last 20 years or thereabouts but saying greatest of all time, nah, I'll pass) might not make it to the semis too.

All in all, best of luck to those who scale through and to those who will not, don't be discouraged, football is usual a game of two extreme - loss or win.

They can't win sheet! They've not played a proper team yet. Moderate cape Verde wey handle them yesterday,dragged them to extra time. A team like Spain or France will easily defeat Argentina. I saw their game yesterday

Is it by force to be African ?!

Do you not consider yourselves lost jews ?!


Uptober:
The Egyptians don't even consider themselves Africans so I don't know why you're rooting for them

I remember 4 years ago when we beat cape Verde by 2-1 and we qualified for the final round of the world cup qualifiers. Nigerians cried that Rhor should be sacked for that slim win.
And truly he was sacked. embarassed

Cape Verde might have lost to Argentina, but they remain my best team of the tournament so far, and that match between them and Argentina will remain my game of the tournament.

But that same Cape Verde drew Spain, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia so what’s your point of them draw Argentina? At the end the best team won

Yes, they are the most qualified to beat all the other teams mercilessly. That Portugal vs Spain match na real error. Dem sha no won this man win WC sha.At least dem dash am MOTM after scoring a penalty for his team. So, if Spain crushes them, then he can boast of that. If Portugal crushes Spain on the other hand, CR7 go still get hope. Anyways, I don't see any team beating this PSG-like French team o. E go hard. Argentina...hmmm...if dem no dey careful, Egypt will send them back to Rosario. Cape Verde didint come to play in this tournament. They dealt with everyone they met, and it took a miracle for Argentina to escape their "madness".
Re: Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Thread by LordLicifer(m): 10:54am On Jul 04
No west african country on the list.... One wonders huh

Anyway, i am glad i live to theseday to witness black/africans playing football with white Europeans, Canada, America and all other non african countries yet many blacks/africans still claim white people are racist.


It would be like LUKAKU claiming that a white man is racist when he is playing agaisnts black/africans with a whiteman.


That has got to be bizzarely ironic

No single black Africans for inside ball again?... and yet the hate and division amongst black Africans
Re: Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Thread by ibtommy(m): 11:04am On Jul 04
No be their group go carry 2nd for group stage? Even if dem carry 1st, dem go still jam Messi and it would have been brutal for either one the 2.

The Cape Verde experience should teach Argentina some crucial lessons if they wanna go far in this Mundial.

In this round of 16, I think the host nations should excuse us, only if England knows what they are doing.

And my biggest game in this round is Brazil Vs Norway.
it's Spain vs Portugal that's the biggest game

DickenClarq:
I sat down recently and analyzed some teams
Such as England, Netherland, Japan, Columbia, Morocco, Norway, Senegal.

I was shocked of their sqaud depth and this are the real Dark Horses.

As for Portugal they will not cross the Quarter finals (I hope they even reach it).

Ronaldo has already curse himself & the team when he told Piers Morgan that he don't need the world cup

As I said before, Players win you matches but a team win you trophies. (Madrid & Barca is a case study)

My top 5 pick
Netherland
France
Argentina
Spain
England


May God be with us
He got his WC in their last match when he got MOTM for performing poorly but scoring a penalty. Is that not an achievement? Let's see how it goes. If Portugal wants to go far, he needs to start from the bench. Ego too much
