Egbon speak for yourself only o

If you see Wetin dem take our eyes see for Twitter with Bruno vitinha and neves ehnn if you no sabi football you go Dey wonder if na 2010 Xavi iniesta and busquets 😁

I think the hype was probably before Portugal even kicked a ball at the WC.

You cant blame those that hyped them - Lots of their players finished the season strongly at their respective clubs.

You would agree that the story changed immediately after that 1st game.

Even as them manage to qualify from their group, they were arguably the most underwhelming side in the tourney.

It is a wonder how they failed to click tbh. I believe Martinez, to a large extent, failed to Gel the lads.

No be today e dey happen sha. I remember Brazil at the 2006 WC with Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Adriano, Kaka Etc also failing to inspire.

Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé are the first duo since Ronaldo and Rivaldo to each have 5+ goals at a single World Cup 🔥

𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟐
🇧🇷 Ronaldo—8 goals
🇧🇷 Rivaldo—5 goals

𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔
🇫🇷 Mbappé—8 goals
🇫🇷 Dembélé—5 goals

Walking the talk

😀😀😀

As you'll expect nah. When do you expect people to hype them? Even on this thread, Portugal hype choke lmao.

No amount of missives will change the fact that Portugal were one of the most hyped team especially considering the season that Nuno, Neves, Vitinha and Bruno had. You can write and explain but the fact on ground is that pre world cup people will always have them among the top 2(final) or at least top 4(Semi Final team) or let's add jara top 8(quarter final)

Whether the opinion changed after game week 1 is irrelevant. What's on ground is that they were hyped to win it. Some even said it's Emilokan time for ogunmepon blah blah blah.

Believe it or not, one of the main reason why they failed is your field Marshall aka wasiu. You can't win a world cup playing with a short 1 player at the highest level. Not happening.

Watch out for Portugal when he retires in 3040!

Neymar1095:
Congratulations to France. World cup 2026 Winners. We give up, at this rate our 5 world cup count is in trouble.

England will win it.

If you werent so obsessed with the Ronaldo/Messi thing, you would have remembered that Spain's chances against France were being assessed on these pages based on what we have seen from them thus far. That was even the basis of the convo.

You are trying so hard to make everything about Messi and Ronaldo but trust me, this one is just off point.

I am not interested in the new argument you are trying so desperately to form.

I cant even remember if anyone stopped you from continuing to post Messi pictures

Lol. Saying nobody hyped Portugal to win worldcup isnt true. That's the point. They were hyped!!!

AirBere:

Nobody hyped them to win anything after we saw them against Congo.

Same way some peeps here are not entirely convinced about Spain, based on what we have seen.

No be everything be Ronaldo vs Messi oga

Agreed with everything you said

That 06 wc ,na France send them packing

Na after world cup everything go clear. Any observation made here, it's either Messianic cultists are attacking you or wasiu fans are ranting.

After world cup, this thread will go back to normal and reasonable dialogue

Portugal failed at the World Cup yet we don hear word ,but but if Spain fail to win Belgium e go loud 😁

Belgium will beat Spain.

I am not Interested in whatever was said before the worldcup.

The discussion was about Spain's chances against France..based on what we've seen so far.

Good Morning to everybody especially the peopl of Bangladesh..
Others can take theirs from Merino...

Sportsweb:
Brazil made this Norway look extremely good. Wasn't Ivory Coast balling them until bozo moment.

Yea, Ancelotti gave them far too much respect than they deserved,as per old rivalry.

swiz123:
At this point, Ancelotti will be ashamed of you for even himself knows that he let Brazil down massively.

You have a way with words.

Simply incredible. 🔝

If France wins this World Cup, it's safe to say Mbappe will be the favorite for Ballon D'or right?

They didn't forgive us and were even more brutal. No way are we forgiving them. Zero chance!!!

Winning the world cup as captain plus Zidane's red card gave Canavaro the bdor.

Winning the world cup as captain will guarantee Mbape the bdor. The most prestigious trophy in sports carries too much weight so yes he'll win.

Cooking up the most brutal agenda known to man

By the way, Rabiot's hands clearly touched the ball before Mbappe scored his goal, but we have not heard a single pim about rigging from the usual quarters.

I imagine Enzo handling the ball before Messi scored, all the currently silent ones would be raging mad.

Goes to show the whole rigged agenda is just about the jealousy and fear of Messi's greatness. It's been on since 2014 WC anyway.

N.B: In my view, Mbappe's goal was legit.

Dembele might have a say due to UCL and if he also adds to his G/A in these final games. His strong candidacy might split votes for Mbappe.

This thing fifa is doing not good o. They want france and Argentina to meet in final and nobody is noticing it
