Spain will dismantle and take apart and turn them to spare parts.

I did not have Belgium moving past round of 32. I'm sure Rudi is somewhat shocked himself

I maintain the best the US has looked within the past 20 years was 2014 when they took Belgium to Extras.

They beat subpar opposition, get their weak backline exposed by Turkey (led by carpenter Tim Ream) and then choke against a real team. Same story for the past 30 years. The truth of the matter is America is nowhere near close to rubbing shoulders with top European/South American opposition.

Congratulations to Rudi Garcia. Amidst all the ridicule and harsh criticisms, he has grown in the tournament and has exceeded expectations.

Lukaku!

Take a phucking bow Rudi Garcia!

Starts his star player from the bench with utmost confidence. Lukaku with the final nail in the coffin!

What if Okoye made that goalkeeping error?

Christian Pulisic has been absent this whole tournament. Woeful.

Anything Trump touches turns to rot.

He attended game 3 at MSG and the Knicks lost their only game of the series.

He makes a phone call to Infantino and low and behold

Tim Ream and the US backline looking like high schoolers.

Diavolo:
I’m trying to imagine super eagles in a game of this intensity and crowd noise. Can they withstand it ?

Our AFCON semifinal match in Rabat vs Morocco.

We may have lost in penalties but we held our own against poor refereeing, a hostile crowd, and unsportsmanlike like conduct (e.g. the towel snatching).

TheSuperNerd:
Mehn, we have a few more contenders for that tag.

Argentina vs Cape Verde.
Portugal vs Croatia.
Belgium vs Senegal.
Uruguay vs Cape Verde.
Netherlands vs Japan.

But this Mexico vs England surely carries crazier intensity coz one of them is Cohost and[b] it is the Azteca!!! [/b]

Agreed. For me, it's the venue, hostility, and history that gives this match the edge.

These Mexicans are trying to deploy cartel/el chapo football

TheSuperNerd:
Mexico are not down yet! Mexico 2-3 England.

Jimenez finally beats Pickford, at least from the spot.

This game is already a Classic.

Game of the tournament. I expect Mexico to level things.

Red Card to the Three Lions!!

If I were CONMEBOL president, I'd be very worried. Brazil has still not recovered since 2014.

Outside of Argentina and maybe Colombia, who from South America can realistically challenge for a world cup?

Congrats to Maroc. Greatest CAF side ever. Greatest decade for a CAF nation.

Moderator, please stop this..

Leave it alone. It is harmless banter

seems during hydration break African players are given alcohol.

Massive save by Vozinha

The gap between North Africa and the rest of the continent is getting wider.

I'm not even gonna bother with the Ghana match. I wish them all the best though.

Can the Turkish league please refrain from pursuing our players? Why are these motherfuckers always chasing Nigerian players like a buck chasing a doe during mating rut season? This is fucking getting annoying, man. Fucking leave us alone. They are chasing Osimhen, Lookman, Iwobi, Bassey, Onyedika, and Chukwueze; they swear una for Nigerian players. Leave us the Bleep alone. Is it by force?

Does Oshimhen actually want to win anything for Nigeria? Because if he does, why is he encouraging players that will actually help him win something to come to a bad, subpar league like the Turkish league? Emmanuel Fernandez, please aim higher. If you go to Turkey, 90 percent of the games you will play will be against English League 1 quality opponents, and you are only in the Champions League to make up the number. You are good enough for a solid, established top 8 team in the top 5 leagues in Europe. Do not waste your talent in that backwater league.

You see the cerebral, tactical football being played at the world cup and you go to Turkey?

We need our guys soaking up tactical knowledge from the most brilliant minds and you'll get that in the top 5 leagues. It's so damn annoying bro.

To Our Brothers in Algeria:

Please do the needful and come back home. You are sorely missed. We truly miss our African brothers from the North

Croatia must be located in Africa

ChrisKels:
Nederland working tirelessly for Morocco.


Some of the young ones in Ajax alone.

Mashallah pour le Maroc!!

Quel dommage pour les neerlandais!

Forget about Tuninia's performance.

This is perhaps the worst outing of any African team in World Cup history. To lose in this manner is so damn embarrassing.

Where does African football go from here?

Black Africans mehn. This is just so depressing. I'm honestly lost for words.

The cheque must've cleared for Senegal

If Senegal lose, they'll never live this down.

Na wa ooo. There's just no way

TheSuperNerd:
Ronald Koeman's respect for this Moroccan team is obvious by the formation tactics. The dutch tactical move from 433 in previous games to 3421 that becomes 541 in defensive transitions (off the ball) shows Koeman is cautious of Morocco's attacking threats.
But the Moroccans too are being cautious in their 4231 approach as they have not exactly committed too many players forward as they are wary of the transition threat of Gakpo, Summerville and Brobbey.

Tight game.

You get good eye for this game. I enjoy your analyses and learn a lot from them. Cheers.

Pray for Canada. Regardless of tonight's winner, it'll be a massacre. The Canadians are nowhere near the these guys.
