LOL. Let them try it. Let's see how Portugal fares against the likes of Columbia, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Venezuela. And I don't even wanna mention the likes of Brazil or Argentina sef. Bottom line, Portugal won't make it out of their group

See what I saw on Twitter

You do understand that in 2016, Portugal actually finished 3rd in their group. Then was it not Wales they faced in the semifinals? Luckily escaping the big teams on their way to the final, in the final I think Griezman missed a penalty or was it a seater and Portugal won in extra time. Take away that best loser spot Portugal would not have qualified at all, then had it been they faced better teams they wouldn't have qualified either, in the Copa America if you rank third you are going home. Then in the UNL they faced Switzerland and Netherlands, no Spain, Germany, France, Beligium even England, I am not sure I get the point behind that UNL honestly.

na our Jersey be this so...Lolz.

I think this is just your perspective based on how you view South American teams as tough on the pitch.

But in reality, European teams are more technical and have a better head to head than them.

E.g Chile could not beat Germany in the last confed cup final, Germany defeats Argentina and Brazil recently, even us (Nigeria) beat Venezuela 3 - 1 in our last friendly game with them.

tell me something else messi fanboy
why didn't the aforementioned teams win make the semi finals in the last world cup if there are so good?

same teams who made the last world cup semi finals Portugal edged to win the Europe league cup....

and here you're saying Portugal won't scale through in that dark America continent.

France will beat all those teams likewise Netherlands and Germany.

Bolowolowo:
We will get a clearer (but not yet complete) picture of our chances after the Argentina and Scotland clash today. We must still wait on Chile vs Thailand and Cameroon vs New Zealand to see how our fate pans out.

Please tell me what Portugal has ever made the World Cup semi finals.

And don't forget that in 2014, countries like Colombia and Costa Rica made the quarter finals. And Argentina made the finals and outplayed Germany but were just unlucky to lose that game.

Portugal made the world cup semi finals...in 2006.

forget these Argentina made the finals almost won bla bla...nearly to cannot kill a bird....

they made the finals and lost out...
how about the copa America who is forbidding them from making the finals and winning the trophy?

Portugal has won trophies in their continent that Argentina have not won for the past 6 years....
or you wanna tell me that south America plays football and more stronger when it comes to end result than the European teams

Icon79:
I agree. The Euro teams may be more technical but it's also easier for mediocre teams to win the Euro championship than Copa America. Hence, you can see countries like Greece and Portugal winning the Euro. And in the world cup, it's pretty easier for the Euro teams to do well just by the virtue of the fact that you have too many Euro countries represented.

Those are facts not opinions, by the way

Sevilla offers Nigerian striker two-year contract extension after impressive performance







Sevilla have offered Nigerian-American female striker, Toni Payne, a two-year contract extension following an impressive first season in Spain.

Toni Payne agreed on Tuesday to sign a contract extension, tying her to Sevilla until 2021.

The Nigerian-American forward had agreed to a one-year deal with the Spanish outfit in June 2018.

The former Concacaf Women’s U-17 winner with the USA joined Sevilla after ending her two-year sojourn with Netherlands Eredivisie women’s champions Ajax in July 2018.

On her debut season in Spain, Payne impressed scoring 10 goals and provided three assists in 30 appearances, including three goals in Spanish Queen’s Cup same term.

Having excelled in her maiden outing for Cristian Toro’s side, the 24-year-old was handed a new two-year contract at Campo Huerto de la Mariana.

“Toni Payne will play three seasons wearing the Sevilla FC jersey,” the club announced in a statement on its website on Tuesday.

“The 24-year-old attacker from Birmingham will extend her stay in Spanish football, which was premiered in the last academic year 2018/2019 by the Seville team.

“Her tip of speed and effectiveness are two qualities highly valued by the technicians.

“In summary, Payne has signed some very interesting numbers in her first year in the capital of Andalusia.

“Over 30 matches, broken down by 27 in the Iberdrola League and three in the Copa de la Reina, contributed seven points.


“These figures are rounded up with two assists. The 2019/2020 project continues to take shape with the continuity of Toni Payne.”

Having ensured their top-flight survival last season, Sevilla will aim to go all the way in the 2019/20120 season, having retained the services of Payne, who is keen to represent Nigerian Super Falcons.
