The Knicks should stop trying to hold the entire league hostage! They are demanding apologies from everyone one now!

Alaye you have won, move on abeg! This is what is annoying to me because you are not the first to win the title and by no means were you underdogs throughout the playoffs, including the Finals.

They demanded an apology from Stephen A, he apologized.. Only you are now demanding apologies from Wemby, R. Beadle and now B. Hammon!

Man!!!! Just go on with your ring..

Alhaji drag 4 players enter box

Omo Iran dey hunt that foul anywhere inside Belgium half of the field.

Leyqute:

Sack ke? Dem no born Arteta well to sack am.

I say make I check whether e collect side gig as season dey out.

Iran set pieces dey move like team wen get am set piece coach.

Leyqute:
Iran’s set pieces have been quality 👌🏽

Make I check their coaching staff whether N. Jover dey there..

Offside

Iran score!

That looked like training routine but looks offside.

That is going to be close..

Leyqute:
Iran came with a plan o. Corners. They’ve had two good chances now. A good save from Courtois stopped one and the other one, a free header, was wide.

Absolutely, especially with no one in this group scheduled to advance or be eliminated after this round of games in their group.

Tielemans forces a near post save

The 🐍 shoots it wide for the last kick of the game.

Hopefully, this is the last time I ever see him in an international game for Turkey.

The pain in his eyes dey sweet my soul

Werey miss am sha!!!

Would have been offside anyways

The ref needs to get control of the game. Paraguay with so many theatrics trying to delay the game.

Yildiz and my boy Guler pressing the issue for Turkey as V. Montella gets a yellow card for descent.

iamoyindamola:
I am hoping this werey will have a good tournament so that we can cash out on him

You sure Arteta go allow dis guy leave so? I also don’t think he will command much even if he leaves.

Meanwhile the 🐍 is at the verge of elimination of this result holds…

Turkey 0-1 Paraguay

I finally get to listen to the golden voice of football commentary….Derek Rae!

Endrick offside.

Martinelli hits the post

He should be punching that! Had no business catching that with his players in front of him. That was a bad decision.

Oh boy! What was the South Korean goalie thinking!

Knicks are a very experienced bunch no doubt and it helped them. But this is year 1 of a new coach, and you can tell they were well coached. They studied the spurs like a book, and executed accordingly. They made Sixers look like like a rookie team, the same Sixers team that outdueled yourceltics.

To your next point, the east was not easy this year, instead the east has changed. Just packing stars with bad coaching will go nowhere, as you saw with your team and sixers. Orlando will only be better next year, as will Atlanta, and Detroit. Celtics and Sixers might not admit it yet, but you guys are about to become perennial playoff flameouts as the younger teams gun you out of contention.

Again, you guys just need to calm down with the overreaction. This same Knicks side made it to the conference finals last season before losing to the Pacers despite being favorites; so I don’t get! This is a ready made team with all the experience to take advantage of this season.

Let’s talk about 1st year head coach. Is he a rookie? We are talking about a head coach that won championships with the Warriors even when Kerr was out. He has 5 championships with one as recent as 2022 and that is whom you guys speak about like he is a rookie. This was the perfect roster for him and it worked out.

The East was at its weakest this past season. The Sixers are toast, Embiid is done, PG13 is no longer the same. They are essentially being dragged by a kid in Maxey. The Pistons had a lucky run to the number one seed and we saw how they looked out of place in the playoffs. My Celtics were supposed to tank but somehow JB dragged us into the playoff. It was a season one of Spida or Brunson needed to take advantage, I said from the start of the playoffs na.

Make Una stop this overreaction! They won but by no means were they underdogs. This isn’t the Hawks winning the Championship here!

Rubbish!

SA equalizes from the spot

Ahhhh...Now I have to listen to Mikel Obi and dis him wanna be UK accent

Uzbekistan hit the cross bar..

What a game..

Final score

Uzbekistan 1-3 Colombia

Colombia make it 3-1

CrystalTiger:
If Roberto Martinez likes, let him not give himself some sense..This Uzbekistan and Colombia match means that Portugal have their work cut out for them..

These two teams don't look like walkovers..

Colombia especially, they have the experience and players to actually top this group. They are such a disciplined, organized and methodical side. They press really hard once the ball enters their half of the pitch.

Kilishihunter:
This problem is not just Ronaldo. The coach, the midfield especially, the full backs they need to improve. Bernardo Silva should also be benched for concecaio

I weak! If na for this game we saw today, I will blame Martinez first before I look Pendu.

patrickmuf:
Munoz or Diaz?

Crystal Palace RB.

Leyqute:
You don’t think your bias against Martinez is stopping you from seeing that Ororo should take some responsibility for Portugal’s blunt attack “in that game”?

There is no bias against Martinez from me. He is the head coach and made several selection, tactical and substitution errors. I mean we all saw the game na.

Pendu had nothing to do with Bernado starting on the wings or midfielders choosing to play with themselves, rather than moving the ball into dangerous areas of the final 3rd.

There nothing wrong in you acknowledging the obvious primary errors by the head coach that led to shambolic performance versus focusing on Pendu because of your bias. Tell me Martinez failed to set up his team well in this game and I can listen to you gripe about Pendu in this game.

I will first blame Martinez 10 times before I call Pendu in this game we just saw. I have asked you guys severally, what should he have done? The middle is already saturated with midfielders who were just playing with themselves. Not one of you said he missed opportunities.

Where is the space he is supposed to occupy if he dropped deep? Martinez did not draw that up because whenever Mbappe/ Kane/ Messi drop, one player in the middle, depending on the formation switches.

For Les Bleus, Dembele goes forward, for England Jude pushes up, Argentina play with 2 forwards that means Latauro stays up.. Who switches with Pendu amongst the Bruno/ J. Neves/ Vitinha/ Berna and Neto? None! Bruno couldn’t even get in the ball to create anything? Bruno had to even go deep to wrestle the ball off from Vitinha who was hugging the ball.

Where were the opportunities he missed? Make Una leave agenda, no be today. You can blame a blunt attack if there were even opportunities. I don’t really care about the guy, heck I call him Pendu for a reason but I also know when agenda no enter and dis is one of them.

Munoz opens scoring. Excellent assist and finish.. iamoyindamola, we should be looking at this guy like I said before.
