Morocco played like favourite team in this Qatar world Cup 2022.They played very well against big team Belgium. They won by 2-0 goals against Belgium. I think,Morocco fans are happy now and they are also surprised by last match.Senegal also played very well this world cup.I think its African countries prime time now.Cz they are showing great football this world cup.

Morocco win today was impressive they seemed like they were the favourite, tight defensively and really dangerous offensively, especially in free kicks they managed to score twice from them and one was disallowed due to offside in the first half, they are the closest african team to qualify they only need a draw against canada.

The first goal scored by Morocco was a fine play, the game does not look like an offside ball but it was disallowed. Morocco still had opportunities to make 2 goals in the second half. I never expected Morocco to play in this impressive manner, I see Morocco going far in this world cup.

We are receiving various levels of surprises from this world cup. The least likely nation to win the tournament may do it miraculously in front of our eyes. Who would have imagined that Morocco would outperform Belgium in this manner? Morocco, who was rated 22nd, defeated second-ranked Belgium, according to the FIFA rankings. This proves beyond a doubt that the winning team's name is no longer used to determine success in football. Morocco deserves praise for making Africans proud.

I am expecting all the home teams to win today. Cameroon to win Serbia by 11:00 GMT 2-1, South Korea to win Ghana by 2:00 GMT 3-2, Brazil to win Switzerland by 5:00 GMT 4:0, then the last game of the day Portugal to win Uruguay by 8:00 GMT 2-1. I don't know why i just feel South Korea will defeat Ghana but these are my predictions

[Mamun74]

It was great and interesting match,Cameroon vs Serbia. Full time 3-3,Cameroon scored first and then considered 2 goals 1st half.Then 2nd half also considered 1 goals and scored 2 goals in Cameroon. Match ended in draw like 3-3.But peoples didn’t expected it.Both team played very well.However, Cameroon were u underdressed but they did do it better come back.

Cameroon vs Serbia was an extraordinary match, I didn't expect Serbia to be able to score 2 goals in a short time in 46 & 48 minutes, Choupo-Moting's last goal saved Cameroon from losing to Serbia, but this draw still leaves Cameroon ranked 3rd in Group G. Cameroon's next tough opponent is Brazil.

Ghana vs South Korea will be starting soon . This is the last chance of Ghana,  if they fail to win South Korea they will be out. The match Ghana played against Portugal their performance was not bad. This time they may be lucky to win because South Korea is not as tough as Portugal.

[buwaytress]

Ah, so close, and yet so far. Took the lead, then equalised in 2 minutes, I honestly thought I was going to be celebrating Cameroon.

But see now, support Ghana, and they almost levelled with first 2 African goals of the tournament, then bet on Cameroon and they find a way to score 3 goals.

It's probably over, as they need not only beat Brazil by 2 goals if Switzerland draw, or by maybe more goals if Serbia beat the Swiss. Either way, not counting on it!

Cameroon fought valiantly in my opinion. Quite a fact that they scored the opening goal and couldn't keep a clean sheet, but at least they were able to recover.
Personally they should have won the game had aboubakar been brought in earlier.
 The game against Brazil could prove to be a tough one and just hope they get a better chance of winning the game.

[Rruchi man]

Cameroon's next tough opponent is Brazil.

It is best we just welcome  Cameroon back home, I don't see this team being able to win Brazil to secure qualification, this game with Serbia was their biggest chance to secure three points after loosing their first game, but another failed attempt. I already knew that the cameronians may not be so lucky coming out of this game because of the bad report the had entering the game about one of their goalkeepers Onana being dropped from the team squad for refusing to change his style to a more traditional style for the team.

Ghana vs South Korea will be starting soon . This is the last chance of Ghana,  if they fail to win South Korea they will be out. The match Ghana played against Portugal their performance was not bad. This time they may be lucky to win because South Korea is not as tough as Portugal.

Already Ghana is leading South Korea by 2 goals to nil. It is showing strength today after it lost to Portugal in the last encounter in an anxiety filled match. Ghana narrowly lost 3 - 2 to the Cristiano Ronaldo side. If Ghana keeps up this pace and sweeps 3 maximum points against Korea, it will be a tough match against Uruguay in their last match. African teams are now growing stronger and I hope to see some of them in the next round. Cameroon is looking out in their group having lost and drew one in a match it should have won against Serbia.

Edited
The Koreans have pulled themselves back into the game. It is now 2 - 2 apiece.

Ghana leads again in the 68th minutes with another goal from Kudus Mohammed who has got a brace in this game. Am excited and want it to end this way. It is 2 - 3 now.

The match is so exciting to watch witch all the goals and chances we see from both sides. South Korea managed to bring the match back after Ghana team could dominating the game only with goals. Ghana is playing counter attacks especially their third goal was after knowing South Korean players got exhausted for attacking too much, and now Ghana is all defending as one person to maintain this score to bigger their chances of qualifying to the next stage
Edit
More 10 extra minutes for South Korea to draw the score or for Ghana to maintain it

[DaNNy001]

Explosion atmosphere in the game between Ghana and South Korea. The South Koreans had all the possession in the game I would even say too much passing of the ball even when they are in situation to try the Ghanaian keeper they still pass the ball around while there opponent the African team in other hand was more direct and converted their chances  and took the lead by two goals to nothing until around the 58 and 61min when cho gue-sung scored a brace for the Koreans taking the game to a 2-2 draw, but only for a  few minutes and the Ghanaians secured a lead again by a goal from kudus M. 

The games today have all been filled with goals,  the Cameron game saw 6goals score at the end of full-time  and the Ghana  game has provided 5 goals already. If the Ghanaians can manage to hold this win it will be a great win for them seeing that it would increase their chances of progressing to the next stage of the World Cup

It was really an exciting match for me. And that is because I sided with Ghana to win. The 11 long extra minutes added was almost like it would never end. Now the Ghanaians have something to play for in their next match with Uruguay and will want to win it. We await the second match in that group H between Portugal and Uruguay. I want Uruguay to cause an upset to CR7 side.

We do not have to see any defeat of African country as a disgrace, especially when we know that our own country did not even make it to the world cup. This is sports, there is going to be winners and losers.

Just because Nigeria didn't make it to the world cup doesn't mean I don't have the right to criticize the other nations that are representing African at the world cup when they play badly. We have criticized Nigeria and the likes of Egypt which are power house of Africa football already in the past for not been represented at Qatar so now if the representing countries aren't doing well we can criticize them as well and maybe next time they won't bother going if they know they won't showcase the Africa football that we all want to watch.

Thankfully Morocco has continue on the success of Senegal and joined the likes of Japan and Saudi Arabia in causing a shocker at the world cup. Morocco just defeated the golden generation (Belgium) 2:0 and it was fun to watch especially as one of my most loved left winger Hakim Ziyech, just gave an awesome performance. As it stands, Morocco are top of their group which is unlikely for an African nation but I'm loving it. I don't think they can miss out of qualifying from the group stage at this point.

I am with you on this as it's just your own view, it's your right and it might be for or against any team. Till now, I don't support any African team winning this world cup judging by my extensive speculation. Although their latest performances are becoming encouraging, they will soon be meeting better teams that would beat them easily as usual. This is my view and I don't think anyone has the right to silence me about it.

Senegal and Ghana are the ones to represent Africa now on the Qatar world cup. South Korea also tried their best to equalize but Ghana defense was good to protect the area. Now Senegal is to play with Ecuador and Ghana to play with Portugal. which of them will go far in the world? Senegal and Ghana. I will choose Senegal because their players are more galant than Ghana.
I am to some extent is happy because Nigeria is not in this tournament because Nigeria would have given someone heart attack. I like Senegal and Ghana are going gradually.

Talking about the African team in this edition of the world cup, it seems that the African team is not just a dark horse team that is not widely considered to be able to go further in the world cup. but Senegal, Morocco, Ghana and Cameroon have proven the natural talent of African football with interesting games that allow African teams to speak volumes in this world cup, and the opportunity to qualify for the next round is quite open, and whether there will be history in this world cup for the team Africa that can qualify for at least the semifinals?

Currently there are many European naturalized players who come from Africa, so I think it is really unfair if a team from the African continent loses quickly and none of them qualify for the round of big 16

Ghana, Cameroon, Senegal and Morocco are really great teams, from the start I was sure they would be able to beat all of their opponents, even teams from Europe like Belgium and Wales would have to lose and possibly go home sooner

I doubt if Ghana is going to get a win in their next match. I wasn't so impressed with their performance in their just concluded game. They didn't show any aggression in the second half. The Koreans dominated the game. For me their goalie was the man of the match because he made a lot of spectacular saves. I suggest the Ghanaian coach should play the clip of their last encounter with Uruguay so that they will know that it is more of a revenge match. I think it will motivate them.

Among the five teams representing Africa at the World Cup in Qatar, Senigal, Morocco, and Ghana have the best chances of moving on to the next round. Cameron and Tunisia, on the other hand, will have to work harder to earn a spot in the competition's knockout round. Senegal, Morocco, and Ghana are the three teams I wish would all advance to the round of 16, giving us a better chance of reaching the tournament's quarterfinals.
