  1. Osimhen is a true star, amazing athlete, good technique, and hustles like he is still selling plaintain chips on Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos. What a goal and what a player.
  2. No. He has the attributes to be good: powerful, fast athlete, good dribbler, high workrate. However, he is just very unproductive; poor decisions, rash tackles, bad finishing. Still potential but 30+ million is a lot. OM look like they are going to sign Ounahi for 10 million Euro and for Terem Moffi, it seems as though he will decide between OM and Nice. Surprised no English clubs are after either, they would improve most teams and Premier League money parle francais. Good for Ligue 1 they are staying though.
  3. City have two dangerous, direct forwards up top and are playing as if they have a false nine; they do not utlilise them at all.
  4. I still cannot believe that nonsense from Otamendi. 75th+ minute with a 2-0 lead and you are doing this. What is wrong with him? The defense and Paredes have injected panic into this team all tournament for no reason.
  5. My wife was raised partially in Paris and supports France. If they win again I will have to hear about it from her and family for four more years. I cannot abide by it. Between Les Bleus and PSG I am tired of her happiness and my pain. It is very hard for me to support Argentina, given the history, but Messi truly deserves this moment. There will never be another like him, and I am tired of those who seek to diminish his achievements. So, I will go for 2-1 Argentina. Think the will look comfortable at 2-0, then struggle to hold it as they tire. Should be good match.
  6. Old Messi is hilarious. He looks absolutely exhausted just walking around and then produces something like that out of nothing. Treated Gvardiol like his child.
  7. What about the two previous matches makes you think it is impossible for Argentina to give back a two goal lead?
  8. How many players do Brazil want to have forward up a goal in the 117th minute? Croatia broke 4 v. 4, that is not acceptable defending for the situation at all.
  9. I do not have any more particular dislike for these countries than any other part of the world, but it would be absolutely delightful if the entire Iberian Peninsula was sent home tonight.
  10. Busquets especially was rubbish. Neymar, Balotelli, Jorginho, etc. are fantastic with their technique at penalties, but I do not know why every player thinks they should copy these players who have a special ability. For the average player, the best tactic is to simply pick a side and hit it with a good amount of pace. You will score 60+% of the time if you do this. Hard to understand.
  11. Where did they find this Cheddira? Horrendous forward.
  12. It would be a shame if Morocco lose this match. Frankly, they have been the superior side. The plan has worked to perfection and they have had the better chances. Spain are so unwilling to vary their play; it is maddening. Genuinely tiresome to watch.
  13. I like that this nonsense now expands to random African people born and raised in Europe. KK just declined immediately when he joined Chelsea for whatever reason, hope it is just loss of form, but worrying how long it has been now. I bet they will come out and show this kind of positive play again in the second half, but it is likely too late after dropping the level for the those ten minutes.
  14. Mental collapse from Senegal after the goal. Awful defending to just let Bellingham run through in that situation. No one on the team has a booking yet. Bring the man down and take one! Tired of seeing this kind of foolishness from our teams.
  15. Serbia are catastrophic defensively. Leaking goals and chances everywhere the last two matches.
  16. The perfect result. Honestly, for many Ghanaians just leaving Suarez in tears will be enough for them Uruguay behaved disgracefully as always. Glad they knocked out Ghana, but it's a positive their brand of football won't be in the knockouts. It seems like Japan and South Korea are involved in some 3rd MD drama every World Cup. Those teams never do things the simple way.
  17. I think that is a penalty, but understand how the ref could come to that decision, tbh. Very lucky. Amartey is a disastrous defender. I do not understand how he has lasted this long in the Premier League or how Black Stars cannot find anyone better. He shutout SE in the qualifier, so maybe I should not talk.
  18. Ayew continuing Sunderland great John Mensah's tradition of curiously short run-ups against Uruguay with similar results.
  19. This World Cup is hilarious I have been sitting here maniacally laughing in the twenty minutes since the penalty. A shame it had to be Ayew, but to wait twelve+ years for redemption just to do that. I don't understand how these are similar players, Kudus is dribbler above anything else, young Obafemi just sprinted around the pitch and smashed goals in at a random rate much higher than Kudus.
  20. The group is essentially done unless Spain or Costa Rica can score twice. 7-0 result carrying Spain through.
  21. My understanding was that he is eligible for Nigeria and Canada still through some loop hole of the rule because he has played under a certain number of matches and did so before the age requirement was in place. Nigeria is a country that actually sends William Troost-Ekong out to play in serious matches, so his name has popped up manny times recently along with the likes of Adarabioyo. Ghana does not count. We are supporting a Suarez hattrick tomorrow. I believe people in this thread are over-selling how much of this failure is to do with Martinez. He was an immediate improvement over the prior manager and reached the World Cup semi-final. His biggest crime was holding on to the "Golden Generation" too long. The corpses of Toby, Vertonghen, Hazard, and Lukaku were not helpful in 2022.
