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.

Truly, we have been excused by the host nations, most especially the USA despite their shout of red card.

And England did a good job.

Ronaldo and Portugal getting knocked out of the World Cup is more refreshing than Nigeria qualifying for the World Cup

He has only himself and the useless ass licking Martinez to blame
When Santos the coach who won them the Euro told them it's time to bench Ronaldo, they tore him to shreds and went for a pliant coach who is a yessah man for Ronaldo. Go look at their match against Croatia. After he was substituted, his reaction showed he wasn't in the mood for such pranks by the coach. The mumu coach chickened out immediately. How can you be 41 with younger strikers on the bench and you insist on playing every minute of every game for selfish glory hunting. He just ruined the career of a whole generation of Portuguese talents with his oversized ego and insecurities

Our best African teams are the teams that have heavy investment in their domestic football OR use a lot of players that have played at yuth level for European nations.

That's the way it works.

Argentina that FIFA is pushing from back and front to progress into the finals will win Switzerland? I don't think so.

I am shaky about England and Norway head-on, because anything can happen.

If Argentina manages to cling this 2026 world cup, I don't think Ronaldo's mental health will remain the same. grin

Because the banter that what will follow to his disadvantage will be overwhelming. grin

You are delusional...
Morocco played at the last afcon final.
These guys got to the semi final of the last world cup..
What do you think about Belgium?

What's in your super eagles that makes you think they are better ?
Senegal national team is even far better.

Argentina .... and the weakest team. Argentina will win. The US... Israel and Argentina... a three headed monster. Head of FIFA knows what he has to do ...... or else?

Note .... all games are played during daylight...... except the one with Argentina. Should we expect some "floodlight glitches"? .... as in Argentina goes ahead 1-0 on the 76th minute ... the opposing team comes storming back ... successive runs at goal ... Argentina defense is in panic mode then ... out of nowhere .... blackout... and the match awarded to who was ahead. Possible?

At a stage, people will move on and life goes on.

Maybe another football hero(es) will grace the stage, we don't know but then it was all fun and tears while it last.
