I weak ooo😅😂

Ojagun:
It is always about skin colour with 'those people' isn't it?!

Those 'Black guys' are the best around and are plying their trade in top European leagues. What kind of weird analysis is this? Why are American conservatives trying to apply culture war narratives to football? This makes no sense at all.

5 year tenure that includes an AFCON bronze and a world cup knockout appearance. I'm not sure Bafana can find a suitable replacement.

Yeah. Hugo did quite well with the southies

Joebie:
Morocco got to the SF in my books considering it is an expanded world cup and they met the strongest title contender. So no dey appease urself.Morrocco is MILES ahead of Naija. You can settle for AFCON owambe as usual

Expanded but with so many mediocre teams that couldn't have been there.

That's why so many African teams made it to R32 by finishing 3rd.

When e reach Naija players transfer rumours, it's always the "European clubs monitoring the situation"

I don't know if these clubs are boased or our guys have bad agents

Unpopular opinion:

Senegal proved a bigger threat against France than Morocco

Maybe it's because it was the first game oo but in my opinion, the Senegalese played better against France than Morocco did

I hold the same opinion. France has barely left first gear in any match at this WC but against Senegal, which seems to me the only game so far that ruffled them a little.

Since the second half against Senegal the French have been on another level.

But you're all correct only the Senegalese have caused them some measure of discomfort.

Which players are we expecting to make a big move this summer apart from Bassey? We had many players transferred during the January winter transfer window.

Mujtahida:

Morocco was playing for pens and the absence of their topman affected their transition but I said b4 the start of the WC that the injustice done to the coach that qualified them and won Afcon will hunt them just like Ghana's

According to Turkish outlet Fotomaç, Osayi-Samuel has emerged as a surprise target for Fenerbahçe, with the player eager to return to the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium.

The report claims that the former Queens Park Rangers man has already held talks with Fenerbahce boss Ismail Kartal regarding a possible return to Istanbul.

Other reports in Turkiye further stated that Osayi-Samuel is “desperate” to leave Birmingham City and rejoin his former club, where he enjoyed some of the best years of his career.


However, while the player's desire to return is understood, Fenerbahce's hierarchy and coaching staff are yet to make a final decision over whether to proceed with the move.

The development represents a significant shift in Osayi-Samuel's future, especially after his proposed move to Besiktas reportedly collapsed at the final stages last season.

England final bustop is semifinals, that's if they even survive Norway.

The cup is between France and Argentina, but France have the upper hand to win the trophy

The USMNT will be stuck at the World Cup until it adopts Germany's blueprint

In 2000 Germany finished last at the Euros and decided it was time overhaul the system. They built 390 regional training bases to make sure one was within 25 km of every kid in country. They hired 1,200… pic.twitter.com/cDMIDkMWhr

Parents pay too much money for kids to play their soccer thereby sucking them dry. They need to make access cheap and easy. Everything na business for yankee.

France has become the kryptonite to Morocco.

That one was hope. This one na prophecy. You can go stake on it. This I have seen

Odunayaw:
I had the same feeling at the start of the WC but it shall not come to pass. The world doesn't deserve the noise pollution that comes with it.

I really don't care about England. I don't like mixed teams. But that's the impression I got that England will win

Confirmed 🔥💯👊

Ok o, my eyes are on you.

Watching modern football and the emphasis on positional play, I see why passing dominates the game and why number 10s have vanished.

This change has affected Brazil in a huge way because Brazil relies on free flowing samba with a number 10 in the mould of Ronaldinho dictating play. According to one poster on X, Pep Gaurdiola killed Brazilian football.

Before Pep, the 10 with his dazzling runs and dribbling, defined the game. Now na who 10 wan dribble? As he's approaching with the ball, the opposition team don't come out and try to snag the ball off him. No, instead they retreat and form a low block closing down space and forcing him and his team mates to find a way through by passing the ball.

This accounts for the side to side passing that so much predominates modern football and I hate that shyte.

It's going to be a long night for Brazil. Someone suggested that for Brazil to win again, they have to invent an anti-Pep style of play which will emphasize the uniqueness of Brazilian football. It's an interesting analysis .

I don't understand this idea of the no 10 not being relevant.
I don't even believe it for a second. Ok I'm modern football everyone gets defensive so how do you now break down a low block

The passing game is too predictable and easy to play against. A number 10 is needed to show some surprise.
I don't get this no no 10 thinking. At least Kevin de bruyne is a mo 10

🇳🇴 Lillestrøm have confirmed the permanent signing of Sporting Lagos FC @SportingLagos 🇳🇬 winger Seun Akanji (18) on a four-year-deal.

The winger won #NNL and helped the Lagos based side secure #NPFL promotion.

If you Sabi ball you Sabi ball. People making excuses for players who no top level club want can continue deluding themselves. This boy will not be at Brentford two years from now. The first time I saw the boy l knew he Sabi ball.

Papi85:
Confirmed 🔥💯👊

I do not care to know Brentford senior team defenders but what I know is that Fredrick is better than all of them
