Re: What a double whammy for Brazil

Brazil qualified easily. Then cruised through the group stages. HIstorically, S. American teams that have it so easy do NOT win. But those that struggle to qualify and grow into the tournament, win the WC. Argentina stumbled against Saudi Arabia. We’re bruised by Mexico at the group stage. Then Aus...

Re: Africa is not good at football

Morocco makes it to the quarter finals but Africa is still terrible at football. Morocco is not a typical African team,far from it. They’re closer to the Euro style of management than the Nigerian, Cameroonian or Congolese style. Nigeria and Cameroon for all their so called "African management...

Re: [WC 2022 R16] JAPAN (1) Vs CROATIA (1)...CROATIA WINS 3-1 IN EXTRA TIME PKs

A semi final slot is no way guaranteed for Brazil if they face Croatia. They will have to bring a very serious A game and be clinical. Missing chances against Croatia is dying a slow death. They know how to handle football exuberance and deal with teams that are up for it :lol: Hard to beat. They h...

Libyan league is far richer than Nigeria inspte of the insecurity in the war torn nation.. Akwa United FC will earn around $150k from this move.. Convert that to Naira and see if there is any NPFL club that can pay .. He will also be on around $10k per month with better exposure in CAF tournaments....
