Interesting read on the challenges African teams face and why they ‘ underperform’ st the World Cup. I am sure these issues are not unfamiliar https://maxsiollun.wordpress.com/2022/12/03/why-has-an-african-country-never-won-the-world-cup/?fbclid=IwAR2xmIsug_PogrEFjTAq1S86rCAe-l1FuLjsOrNLAu7ya9OcWRCl...

France are favorites but Morocco have a chance. France have a mistake or two in defence every match and this might come to haunt them

There is a clear proof of something I Saïd earlier. That francophone countries get more from thé diaspora than anglophones, one. I Wonder why. Probably a couple of organizational things which make it easier to play for these countries. I would not lump all francophone countries together though. Mor...

let us be honest, no hate,, Morocco is a lucky team, 2ce they were lucky vs Spain,( last min Spain hit the bar) Today Portugal hit the bar now lets go back to 1990, Les lions lost to England, by giving away two pathetic PKs. Senegal lost to Turkey via the golden goal in ET and ghana with that danci...

The top African and Asian teams can compete with the the European and South American teams once you exclude the top 5 or 6 European teams and Brazil/Argentina. Unfortunately the dominance of these 8 teams or so is used to justify the places allocated to European and South American teams. The 48 tea...

Morocco is basically Qatar right now for me. The Qataris have said as much. This doesn't mean they are not GOOD! They are very very good. Some of you guys are too sensitive. A lot of things have to fall in place to go far in a WC. It is happening for Morocco. Fair enough. I do respect your points. ...

He did not think too much before saying that. Sour grapes

@Wazobia, who are the top African teams? Was it not the King of All Africa that was used as loin cloth by a recently relegated to Nations League B, no continental title since ‘66, England. Fifth in the very same rankings that have Belgium second, it’s safe to say, neither is as the table reads. The...

So how will this look like 3 teams of 16 groups, then winner goes to round of 16? or another 4 groups of 4 then 2 for QF etc I agree this is a nightmare but lets see Found it The 48 qualified teams will be split into 16 groups of three Each team will play two group stage games (down one from three)...

This thread is officially the biggest backfire in CE history How so? Morocco has done very well but history shows that Africa has not done very well at the WC. Now, Morocco is in Africa but they're not on the level as the rest of us. Yes, Africa is not good at football. Other African countries lear...

This is to confirm that running and effort does not count for much when you play against a team technically far superior. All you can hope for is damage limitation. WRONG! Can you not see Vini Jr running like a demon? I did not say that the Brazilians are not running. I was referring to the running...

So the Asians have been exposed too.

Brazil will take their foot off the gas in the second half.

Jogo Bonito! Ghana dodged a bullet. South Korea getting a severe spanking

Certainly NOT a good news for Cameroon. Cameroon will NOW need to score two goals in other to advance. A fit that is tough to attain

They can’t qualify even if they win if Switzerland hold on and win their match

I don’t think the top 5-6 teams are the same for every World Cup cycle. The point remains that Europe’s many places is often justified by the performances and results. It might look a little different if you look at performances by the teams that are below the top tier. But they have many entrants ...

If FIFA still had the World cup at 32 teams, I would have begged them to take two slots away from Africa! We are terrible! Cameroon, no win since 2002 Tunisia has 2 wins in 6 World Cup appearances Ghana, the last win was in 2010 Morocco, last win since 1998 Africa needs more places. If more African...
