African Football Discussion Thread Current Topic: 👉 FIFA WorldCup 2026.

[Rockson1]

The way African teams are playing in this World Cup, I am very much impressive. Senegal is my favorite in the Africa teams in the world cup though they loss their first match but they gave tough time to Argentina. Today South Africa is playing again when I made a research about Czechia and South Africa and both team drew the match in 1997. So till now we don't know if all the team have improved or not. But South Africa will lose it again.

I don't have any favourite for now but I'm very much happy to see that African teams are doing us proud in this FIFA world cup tournament, at least we are not as they use to view us before, if not for Algeria that messed up, DR Congo against Portugal is that keeps me wondering, I'm beginning to think that most of these teams are being overrated, this world is actually exposing the lapses most of these national teams, your research us right but that result might not repeat itself again, considering the south Africa team last performance, your conclusions might come to reality.

African countries or teams are doing quite well in this World Cup and if they continue like that till they play the World Cup group stage matches we might see a lot of African countries or teams in the next round of the World Cup. Senegal did a good job against France, and even as France defeated them 3-1, I'm still proud of them because they showed the world that they are African champions.

How I wish Nigeria qualified for this World Cup, it would have been very much interesting and impressive at the same time because their performance would have been top-notch, looking at their current squad and formation. Although the rest of the African teams that got featured in this World Cup are all doing fine, except for a few that started in a poor state, my own happiness now is the fact that the African teams are now showing the rest of the world that African teams can not be underrated, as the teams that we thought could perform better from the other side of the continents are now fumblinb because they have bee so much overrated for just no cause.

[Cossyblack]

You see Morocco, Ivory coast, Cape Verde, Egypt and DR Congo gave a high level of discipline which wasn't expected by many Africans at all, particularly the Cape Verde and DR Congo unexpectedly pulling that strong mentality against Spain and Portugal respectively. A performance the likes of Tunisia and Algeria should have being doing base on their rich football heritage in Africa.

I was impress by Morocco perform against Brazil though I didn't watch the match full time but I watch the highlights on youtube Morocco.. Brazil didn't believe Morocco can played them like that. Morocco made Africa proud in the previous world cup and they are also giving their best in the current one. Africa teams aren't joking this time around, They're showing the world that their are not easy meals and judging by their performance, africa teams would do well in this tournament. This time,the world cup might come to africa,they will make us proud in this tournament.

[Wakate]

Out of the ten African team's, I have really been impressed by most teams, but also disappointed in some teams, especially the Tunisia game where they were playing against a team i see as their mate, because if it's Senegal, ivory coast or other top African side, their is no way they would be losing to a swedish team with such a higher margin, that they are of the same level.

It was only Ghana and ivory coast that won their first game out of the total of ten African team that went to the world cup which was not a surprise to me, because I believe that not all African team will do well. The team that I believe might go far in this competition is ivory coast or Morocco, but it's still early days, so we shouldn't be making assumptions yet.

Don't be too excited because this is just the first game for each team to be played in the world cup football tournament.
This is not time for you to be excited until you see those countries qualify for the next stage.
Football is not really predictable when you have not seen the final outcome yet.

But even though those countries will not make be making it to the next round, should they be complimented for the job well done, there's a saying that if you praise someone for a job well done, the person will do more so I think that's what @Barikui1 premised on to give his kudos to those African teams that have performed well so far, even if there are teams we think that will go beyond this stage, nothing is til sure for now until they played all their matches, I'm very much delighted that at the end you said that is unpredictable, so what we have not seen it all in this FIFA world cup tournament?

Since this world cup stared, I'm impressed with the result I have seen even though it's not good enough. South Africa is the only team I was happy they lose and it has nothing to do with football, some people says it's not good but I don't justify what's not good with humanity and love for other people, that's that by the way. I will not blame Algeria for losing to Argentina, there is no way those guys could stand Argentina and just go like that, it was a hard vs minor team.

I think the over all result of the world cup so far isn't too good yet. Most of the teams that we wanted to see them win have draw in their result since the group stage has started. Is it that we are yet to see the wonder of the world cup or maybe our African teams has began to wake up. I was impressed with the way this Morroco didn't let it go, same with Dr. Congo, but Senegal was not up there, they allow France dealt with them and I have high hope on them than other African teams.

I was rotting  for south Africa  to get a win in their second match against  the Czech  Republic  but it  now seems it's going  to be a tight  and difficult  match for them as they have conceded  an early  goal in the first 5 minds of the game. My bet was actually  on south  Africa  to win because  I believed they.do have the quality  to win the match, the game is still young  I hope they equalized  in the first half and maybe have  a complete  comeback  before  the final whistle. Czech  Republic  has been dangerous  with their set pieces right from their match against  south  Korea, if South  Africa can contain the set peice  the they  have probably  solve 60% of the threats.

[Karl_3000]

South Xenophobic Africa is losing to Czechia but it is just 10 minutes to the beginning of the match. If this match can end with South Africa loss, that only means there is nothing South Africa is doing in the world cup because Mexico and South Korea are also better than the country. This is not the end of the match but the beginning, let us see if the match will later favour South Xenophobic Africa.

The team is in a poor shape, I also sure that those 2 red card they received against Mexico has also affected them too. South Africa came to this world with the mentality of defending and possibly waiting for one Lucky counter like we say against Mexico which was futile. 6 minutes into the game they have conceded, I don't think they will be able to equalize this game . Because Czech Republic would have learnt their lesson from that South Korea game. That set peices is a big advantage for them because they have tall players who can nod properly. Moreover the south African attacker can even play good football so they might not see any chances for the rest of the game. If they lose this game, then the world cup is over for them.

I do not know what exactly is causing this but what that will cause it is because their brothers from other African countries are not supporting them. Did you see what  happened in their match against Mexico? Africans in the stadium were supporting Mexico. If you are a South Xenophobic Africa player, do you not think that will not kill your energy to play? The Xenophobic South Africans are part of the major reasons their players are playing rubbish on the field. I want Czechia to win the match if South Africa is the only African countries that remain in the world cup, I can still not support a xenophobic nation.

I am not expecting much from South Africa in their game against Czech  Republic. Czech  Republic in their first leg despite losing still had good chances compared to South Africa's first game. Currently South Africa are yet to get a shot on target whereas Czech  Republic has made four shot attempts. The ball attempts seem to get balanced as I type but I am skeptical about SA making any attempt to score with the current performance been displayed on the pitch so far.

There's an Africa proverbs that says market that will be good it's in the morning you will know. So even though South Africa is losing to Czech Republic in just 10 minutes of the match I'm happy because if the match ends now Czech Republic would be the one to walk away with the three points. Anything that make South Africa to lose this match to Czech Republic their World Cup campaign will end in the group stage.

[Nahl]

South Africa vs Czech Republic is still on going but unfortunately they have to conceded in the first half and this condition makes them under pressure because in this game South Africa should be win if want to managed their opportunity to advances to the next round but, if today they playing draw or even lose certainly South Africa will going home early

So far i have seen Morocco as one of potention team who possibly will go far in this competition especially for the first game which very difficult game against Brazil Morocco have successfully to gets draw result.

But tomorrow Morocco schedule is very difficult too because they will playing against Scotland but i think potentially Morocco can stole at least 1 point from this game because in my opinion Scotland also is not really impressive even against Haiti which can be considered as the weak team in group C Scotland only won 1 - 0.

No sensible African is rooting for South African. Maybe Europeans but not Africans.

They should be out already if they fail to won this game against Czech-republic.  They're not playing badly but converting the few chances they had during the first half was the problem. They're very physical and good in the air Czech-republic from what I have seen so far. For South Africa, Teboho Mokoena is not a discipline player, he has picked up back to back cards in this competition and most likely be missing out from the next leg.

it will be an early bus for South Africa, they are never going to make it through this group stages, their players seem very unaware that they are in a world cup competition, their performance has been very poor. Their biggest hope right now in this game is to stretch the game as long as possible and prevent Czechia from scallion another goal so that they can have a chance to at least equalize and get a point from this game and then try to see what they can do in their 3rd game but if they allow check your score a second goal I believe it is over for them, they should pack theitr bags and go secure their jabbs the jobs people from other country are taking.

South Africa has actually made thing so difficult for themselves with their performance so far, but I don’t think writing them off completely is the best I mean football is unpredictable and we all know that in the twinkle of an eye game don change. I think their main focus right now should be staying organized most especially in terms of defence.

I don't expect a comeback from South Africa because it's  already 68th minutes in the game with less than 20 minutes to the end of the game and the score remains 1-0. Despite the pressure South Africa is putting in the match, I don't think the comeback is possible, and if they couldn't get a comeback in this game, they will be eliminated in the world cup from the group stage.

Morocco is one of the team's that will actually go far in this world cup just as it was in the last world cup, but we can't conclude yet because other African teams like Ivory Coast, Clombia, and Ghana all did well in their first game, therefore, they might also go far this time because the competition is tough, and many things can happen because the underrated teams are doing wonders.

[IjawMan]

The way African teams are playing in this World Cup, I am very much impressive. Senegal is my favorite in the Africa teams in the world cup though they loss their first match but they gave tough time to Argentina. Today South Africa is playing again when I made a research about Czechia and South Africa and both team drew the match in 1997. So till now we don't know if all the team have improved or not. But South Africa will lose it again.

I don't have any favourite for now but I'm very much happy to see that African teams are doing us proud in this FIFA world cup tournament, at least we are not as they use to view us before, if not for Algeria that messed up, DR Congo against Portugal is that keeps me wondering, I'm beginning to think that most of these teams are being overrated, this world is actually exposing the lapses most of these national teams, your research us right but that result might not repeat itself again, considering the south Africa team last performance, your conclusions might come to reality.

Honestly, like all other Africans am impressed with the performance of the African teams in this world cup.

I do not think we have ever had it like this since the inception of the African contingents in previous world cup events,

If the the African teams continue this way then it is possible that we might have at lest three African teams in the knockout stage and possibly in the quarter finals and the semi finals, Morocco, ivory coast, Ghana and Egypt are already showing good signs

[Slow death]

Today was a very good day for the African teams. Ghana won despite only managing to score one goal. But it was a very important victory for Ghana, who now have 3 points and are in second place in Group L. Knowing that it's a group that includes England and Croatia, this victory for Ghana came at a good time. They will need to beat Croatia and England if they want to advance to the next phase. Of course, if they are also lucky enough for England and Croatia to drop points while Ghana wins another game, it could allow Ghana to advance. The team with the xenophobic tendencies drew, although I was hoping they would lose. With this draw, they can still count on luck to advance to the next phase.
