Have you considered that Ramadan may have played a role. Egypt,Tunisia, conceded late goals. So did Morocco but it was against another majoritarily muslim country. If these guys were fasting, they may not have come to the tournament 100% fit. Just saying.
Are you saying Allah punished them for fasting?
..or implying the fasting was a waste of time since there is no God?
Have you ever tried to run a marathon after fasting?
"with God all things are possible"...so say the Muslims & Christians
If these guys were fasting for Allah, then Allah should have made it possible for then to play 90min at 100%

Dont think so. Ghana, Ivory Coast, DR Congo, South Africa, Algeria are all on the same level as 2018 WC africans.

Zero point out of a total of 12 possible for Africa

Zero point out of a total of 12 possible for Africa

My friends

This could be the worst ever appearance of African teams
At least it’s the first game and my fav Senegal is yet to play
I hope I’m wrong but we should go with evidence and not misdirected patriotism
We are hopeful nonetheless
Cheers

At least Senegal would not be scared of Poland. They will attack them relentlessly, that you can be assured of. Win, Lose, or Draw, they will not fear them like the football coward instructed us to fear some overrated primadonnas.

Can u image if the feckless coward was in charge of Senegal ?

He will tell them to worship Lewandowski and Bayern Munich. He will tell them with the likes of Mane, Gueye, Koulibaly, Keita, Sane, Kouyate, that they should fear Poland and settle for a draw.

We are so desperate to make excuses that we are now pointing to Ramadan even though it ended BEFORE the World Cup. Not Egypt, Morocco, or Tunisia were fasting. We just suck and need to stop making excuses.

Why is this an excuse. Do you think the players would be as fit during the tournament as players who had not been fasting for a month. Look at the goals conceded at the 90' minute.

That's exactly what he would do to be honest.

Who hired this guy?

Who hired the guy?? The guy was hired when your messiah “Oliseh” and “SIASIA” failed to qualify us for 2 nation cup and wouldn’t had qualified us for the World Cup. The guy did it with style, grace and unity. It’s not his fault that we’re ranked “49” and our best player is at CHINA while theirs is at backwater clubs like Real Madrid Barcelona. If Nigeria with this squad play Croatia 10 times (any formation) we’re not winning many

This is shocking. You may also want to add:

1) ALL of the goals against African teams were scored from set pieces.

2) No African team has scored from open play.

3) Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia conceded devastating goals in the last minute/in injury time (89th, 95th, and 92nd minutes respectively).

John 12 please be easy
I truly believe it was a bad day in the office
If Iceland ends a draw or a loss
Please fire him
Before the Argentina game
I think as I predicted
It will be 2 losses for Nigeria and a draw

Another useless space wasting thread.
Didn't Rawlings open a similar negative thread, and why not continue there?

The fasting was done for Allah
So, why did Allah not give them the energy for 90minutes

You are celebrating too early just like Ghana celebrated after their first game during the qualifiers.
