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

This World Cup is tiring for someone to make a prediction, because most of my predictions I booked have all cut because of draw, so I notice that this world cup is no longer giving people what they want so many of the gamblers has lost a lot of money due to so many draws that occur during this tournament, but for Dr Congo and  Portugal, I will tell you that what happened to them is what happened in Brazil match, because nobody believe that Brazil will you draw their game 1-1 instead of defeating their opponent

This World Cup is indeed tiring to predict as there have been a lot of unexpected results which has made gamblers lost their bets, and I don't think if someone has won a bet in predicting direct win in this World Cup, but I noticed a lot of matches has played both teams score in this World Cup, so I would advise you to try the option when next you will be placing a bet on the World Cup matches.

there is unexpected results in this tournament of World Cup, and is tiring for we to be losing money in gambling constantly because of what we predicted did not work for us, I don't know if I will say this constant draw with different things is a planned one but based on it is a game I cannot think such because you cannot do depend on predictions... even some countries that will know their football strength is now drawing with a country you cannot hope on.

Do yourself some favors and stop betting on these first day matches if at all there's any remaining. The players are just stretching their legs in the competition, the main heat has not started. I avoided these first games since I expected unsteady results from it. Imagine Portugal with their squad having a draw with DR Congo. Although I commend all African trans who has an impressive performance in this first thing of matches, although I don't remember any of them winning, but I'm somehow rooting for Morocco and Senegal, they look pretty strong to me, especially Morocco.

I'll start betting from the second round, when teams would start getting serious to advance to the next round. That's where the real fierce competition comes out and you can get expected performance from obvious favorites.

I don't know that it is how it will work don't know him that this first matches much losses will be recorded, I thought that they are first leg all the countries that we know that there are a footballing country will it do more well than other countries that we know that are not informed since the origin of FIFA World Cup, the thing is that people who always concentrate in betting draw, there are the one that benefit FIFA World Cup right now because most of the matches ended with draw...

That’s football for us and I think we just have to accept the fact that anything can happen in football and we should be ready to accept the outcome of it. The World Cup is a big game and every team will like to show the best of their performances. Teams that were doing good in the past may not be the same this time around due to some changes in their players and first eleven team, so you don’t need to be surprised if other teams find their edge against some teams they’re not suppose to have a chance on. This is the World Cup, so let’s enjoy the moment all through. As for betting, it is a game of luck, so we shouldn’t be surprised with the outcomes of the games, we will just hope our tickets hit the right one.

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.

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.

I understand that many African football fans just want to see South Africa get eliminated from the FIFA World Cup because of the recent reports of Xenophobic attacks in the country against nationals of other African countries but I think the strong message has been sent already in the their opening game of the tournament. Their captain even had to speak up after that game and before today's game, he begged that other African countries should support them just like they do to every other African country participating. Even if we're not supporting them again, I think we should stop heavily bantering them and wanting their downfall.

That’s thrill about the game, if the results were playing out according to our expectations, then you would wonder why some of the little guys do qualify and come out to compete. It’s got to be a closely contested game and it’s being really fair thus far, several draws across groups and you can’t really be certain on any outcome for the win market or the goal market. People are out here now looking for other markets like shots on target for specific players and all, it’s time to get creative about the sports and gambling if you want to win bets during the World Cup.

[Nightwatchmare]

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.

If South Africa had won Mexico in the opening game of the 2026 world cup today it would have been a good day for them but it is not because they only have a point after playing two games and their chance of finishing 2nd in Group A is slim. Panama was better than Ghana and i was thinking they would beat Ghana, for Ghana to still win Panama despite their performance, Ghana did not disappoint their fans even if they won with one goal margin. Ghana world cup group is tough winning England and Croatia is not easy, since they are already in second place, if they can win Croatia they could finish 2nd in Group L.

That is correct,  at times football needs to prove there unpredictable worth so room for competitiveness can be given as it is completely useless if all games goes as predicted by the book makers. Its true most have lost completely because of how difficult it is to provide adequate prediction in the on going world cup, but i will boldly say it is a welcome development to African countries because before the start of the tournament it have been concluded that they can never get any positive results.

Even if we're not supporting them again, I think we should stop heavily bantering them and wanting their downfall.

I have been watching football for a decent number of years now. Ideally, football is not supposed to pass any other message that are not football related, but In certain conditions where certain people/individuals around the globe are been affected by things that are not normal, then we often come out to see the footballing world or individuals showing their support or Opposing in different ways. In as much as I have come to know that the world is not a fair place, I have also seen the world condemning actions that are not proper without looking back.

The captain coming out to speak doesn't change anything. I don't remember seeing him coming out to speak against the attacks on Africans either. Do they really need the supports of the same people they're creating problems with?... No, I don't think so. You can never force people to love you when there's no absolute reason for it. And, it's not like they've played something interesting compared to some of the other Africa countries that are even in tougher groups. I look forward to seeing the Mexico Vs S.Korea game. I will take a draw, because it's going to put the South Africans in a tighter position.

You know what, football has all changed. You don't expect countries to keep maintaining their football possession as always without them losing form or improving their team, for those that appear weak.

Take the Super Eagles for instance, they were once known as the best team in Africa many years ago, but today, we can't boast of them the same way. Many other countries like Brazil, Italy, Portugal, and Belgium, let's not be surprised that they will lose and draw in unexpected matches in this World Cup.

Anyone who thinks of betting on big countries to win, should reconsider their bet because that football dominance by some particular countries is gradually coming to an end.

To be honest, this World Cup has been difficult to predict. I have just read a thread on here about the experiences of gamblers in the WC, and the responses have been mixed with majority on a losing streak in the tournament. As for me, there will be no betting until the game has progressed to the next round.

The pre-game predictions have proven to be very difficult in this World Cup, several draws and you find an under 0.5 or even under 1.5 where you would have expected an over 4.5. Trying to predict a win market becomes really difficult even for a team with a fairly low odd like 1.27. Else, how could anyone explain Spain’s draw against Cape Verde. One of the highest and most sophisticated team on the planet against a team that is ranked by FIFA around 60+ with a 40year old goalkeeper, several on target shots and attempts from Spain and yet, they couldn’t get a goal.

I hear a gambler did bet $1m on Spain to win so, he could make $85k cool cash and the goalless draw got him gnashing his teeth because, Spain couldn’t help him out apparently. We would have more games like this in this World Cup and gamblers need to be smart about how they bet.

I started betting on direct win in the World Cup but countries such as Brazil, Switzerland, Portugal, and Netherlands that were supposed to win their opening match but drew made me lose multiple times. I adopted to play both teams to score, because a lot of matches produced that option. When I played the option I still lose. If I place another bet today and I don't win, it seems I will follow your footsteps to wait until the World cup gets to knockout phase before I will place another bet on the World Cup.

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.

I'm not very convinced with the Ghanaian team because if they can struggle against the team that everyone expects them to win very easily in the group stages of this World Cup competition how are they going to perform against the other two bigger teams who are also focused on qualifying for the next round of the competition. Winning your first game is important but that is not all that is required to qualify for the next round I feel like the Ghanaian team would not still make qualification to the next round of the competition even though they've been able to get 3 points from this their 1st game.

[juttsab@]

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.

Czech republic and SA both got a point in their 2nd matchday of the WC. Now both teams are standing in the danger zone 3rd and 4th respectively with 1 point each. Czech scored an early goal in the 6th minute by Sadilek . Overall SA dominated with 62% possession ,1.38 xG 1 big chance created and 17 total shots. Czech with 38% possession,1.02xG 3 big chances created and a total of 14 shots. SA won a penalty in the 83rd minute and Mokoena scored that and got a point for their team. Mokone was named as player of the match for SA.

When FIFA increased the African slot in the World Cup from 5 to 10, there were critism mainly from European fans, analysts, and pundits. Their reason was that teams from Africa are low-classed, and this will reduce the quality of the competition. There were even suggestions that our slots should be reduced, while Europe should get more.

I am happy that African countries are showing that we are not benchwarmers. Cape Verde, DRC, Morocco, Ghana, and others are making us proud in this WC. I just hope that half of them will make it to the next round.

Are this not the same people that will be claiming they are against racism, are they not still the ones that will stage protest against injustice and other unruly behavior of governing authorities, in life, if you don't have what it takes to make others respect you, they will drag you on the floor and shamelessly molest you without a second thought, laugh at your predicament and still wish you continue in struggling, all because they don't want you to be in the same level they are, Africans are now getting up from their slumber, erasing the dark man mentality off their skull.

African teams might enjoyed partially some victories, draws but this round is way harder. If you check their opponents, you will find big names like Germany, Japan, Uruguay, Norway, England.. The easiest one might be Algeria vs Jordan. Morocco should be ok against Scotland too.
We will have a better look after this round results. We will know better about the willingness and the readiness of these African nations to advance to the next level.

My brother we are talking about South Africa killing other Africans in their country because of jobs and business in South Africa. So do you want me to support such country? I will not support them and let the captain of the Bafana Bafana channel that statement to his government because what is happening in South Africa is 100% supported by the government. So whether they win or lose in the WC is not my concern. The same thing goes to Morocco, because of their behavior in the AFCON tournament. I don't support them as well.

Ghana national football team did one goal in this match and opponent team could not do any goal in this match.  That match was organized in the Toronto Stadium, Toronto and millions of people watched this match because players were ready to play this match and both teams are of standard . No team could do any goal in the first half of the match but we expected goal from one team and Yirenkyi was the only person who did goal in this match and he did this goal at the end of the match. The players of Panama national football team did full effort to did goal in this match but they could not do any goal till end . The shots of Panama  football team  were more in this match and these were 11 and 4 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 63 percent in this match and possession percentage of that team was 63 percent in this match.
