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

[GiftedMAN]

Very good out play, I'm still surprised that Ghana will hold England till the end of the match without England finding their way to their net, I'm  very sure that England will even be in shock right now, personally I never believed my eyes in that match, this world is something else, the more to try to understand what is happening, the more confused you get, anyone thinking that if Ghana had meet those teams you mentioned it would have bern different is not right because England is not a small side, Germany has been very up and doing in this world cup but I do not think they would have done anything different from what we saw yesterday athough each team with their pattern of football, however, Ghana did whet they have to do so kudos to them.

The truth is that England game play yesterday was well understood by Ghana that's why they decided to match them with same approach of massive defense and massive attacks to ensure they do not control the game too much and to prevent them from entering into their box too often. It was a total surprise for me cause I underestimated Ghana because of the quality of players in England but they proved most football lovers wrong by holding England to a goalless draw. Germany is a good side no doubt but if they had met Ghana nothing would have changed cause Germany is not better than England right now.

Most African countries supported Senegal in the World Cup, but they are not playing well, they are among the African countries which I predicted to far in the World Cup, but they won’t even be passing the group stage. They lost against France in their first match, and they lost against Norway today again, their next match will be against Iraq which I don’t know if they will be able to win that match, but even if they are able to win Iraq, they going nowhere. I feel so bad that Senegal isn’t performing so well in the World Cup.

It's not like I don't rate African countries, but in this World Cup and with the way they are performing, they will find it very hard for them to win the World Cup, and people trusted the Senegalese to give us something, even with nothing. We don't expect Senegal to win against France, which is not even possible. Look at the kind of squad that France came with and see the way even Mbappe is performing.

I don't think there is a chance for our continent this time around because men the way the competition is getting hot was not what we actually expected, but it's quite interesting because all the stages in the World Cup are not even smiling everyone is pushing to prove a point by scoring goals, and the competition, and it is even becoming very hard to predict this time around.

Ghana draw the match against England and it was a big surprise to everyone no one believed the match will actually end in draw.
I saw a post this morning that one traditional worshiper in Ghana said Harry Kane will not score any goal that he will do something to prevent him from scoring and according to the report, he said this before the match started, as for me I don’t believe he actually did anything or it was because of what he did that made Harry Kane not to score if he is actually that powerful spiritually then he should make Ghana to lift the World Cup this year if he cannot do that then his just a big lair trying to use this World Cup to trend.
Congratulations to Ghana they now have more hope of qualifying from the group stage, they should continue putting in their best.

The news of the traditionalist was even reported in some international sports news platforms. Harry Kane missed the best opportunity in the game. But I don't think it was because of the claimed spell. We have seen strikers miss better chances. Haaland missed an empty net agaisnt Senegal. Nevertheless, I was proud of the Black Stars because they made Africa proud. The outcome of this game is an indication that African football is developing gradually.

I was pained that Senegal lost against Norway. Poor defending was their undoing. There are speculations of rancor in the Segelase camp because they are owed allowances and match bonuses.

Had England won Ghana yesterday it would have been difficult for Ghana to reach the next round of the World Cup, so I'm happy Ghana was able to held England to a goalless draw. My expectations on Ghana was low because of how they performed during World Cup friendlies but Ghana has surprised me in this World Cup, it seems their new coach is really doing a good job. If Ghana can avoid defeat in their next match, they will be through to the round of 32.

[Adiljutt156]

Ghana has held England in a draw up to this moment. I did not see this coming. Ghana is the only African team that want to give us a surprise of not losing this period. Respect to Thomas Partey master class. He held the midfield so strong. However Harry Kane has missed a clear chance. If Ghana can capitalize in one moment to score this game will end in favor of them.

England national football team played match against Ghana national football team and match was ended with draw result because no team could do any goal in this match. The shots of England  football team were more in this match And these were 19 in this match and 4 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 78 percent in this match which was great in this game and passes of that team were more in number and these were 619 in this match and pass accuracy of that team was at top . The shots of Ghana national football team were less in this match And these were 2 in this match and 1 shot was on target and possession percentage of that team was 22 percent in this match and passes of that team were less in this match.

I know that Africans has black magic, but black Magic doesn't have any effect in football and it can't make any football team to win a football match, if black magic work in football, African countries would have been the ones winning the World Cup. Ghana national team was able to play a 0-0 draw against England yesterday because of the tactics the Ghanaian coach used against England and also the efforts Ghanian players put against England.

You're right and wrong at the same time, this is a game of football anything is possible, like talking about the Senegalese team, I won't blame them that much, some times things don't always happen the way we expected them, Yes the Senegalese team has fallen short of the expectations but let's take a look of the other African teams and their performance, who could believe Cape Verde would hold the Spanish team to draw and even the Uruguay team to draw, to me some of the African teams actually impress me and I'm believing that Africa winning the world cup is near.

[Slow death]

I am still saying that, I don't think they are in good faith of playing this tournament because from flash news I am hearing all is not well with them. And they just want to play the match and go home. They are not on their fit. Senegal I know wouldn't play this matches like this, everyone thought they would do well in the second leg but the same thing repeat itself. Senegal has another match by 2:00:00 in the morning this night with South Korea. I don't think this game will favor them too.

Senegal is very strong by African national team standards, but Senegal had the great misfortune of being in a group with two extremely strong opponents – and I'm not talking about just strong, but super strong. Asking Senegal to beat France and Norway was asking too much. If they had been luckier and been in groups far from France and Norway, they would have fared much better, but unfortunately they were unlucky and can only accept their bad luck. However, there are other African teams with good chances of advancing to the next stage. But I'm not happy just to see an African team advance; I'm only happy to see an African team become champion.

Ghana played well yesterday and the point they got from yesterday’s game was a truly deserving one for them. They know that England was a better team than them and if they hadn’t gotten a very good plan of defense and attack also, they’ll end up been defeated in that game and would go home with a loss. England tried their best, but their best wasn’t enough to beat Ghana and net any goal yesterday. They also would never expected they wouldn’t win Ghana in that matche. And for the couple of chances they got in that match, had it been Ghana had utilized them, they would have been the one taking home the victory yesterday. They’re both now on the same point on the table and they’ll have to fight it out for the round of 32 in their final match of the group stage.

If it was not possible for France to receive a beaten from Senegal why would you think that Africa would be wining the world Cup this year? because we have three countries that's like Senegal in the world cup so since is impossible for Senegal definitely is also going to turn on the other three countries if they meet France at some point on the world cup stages. Actually I didn't no that some of us are still bent on the theory of African countries wining the world cup because I have been so doubtful about it from beginning even if I had believed that some them are going to see higher stages.

Anything can happen and maybe when you least expect it is when you’ll see it working for them. In the last World Cup games, Morocco was not the best of the African team representing Africa there, but they broke the record of the first African team in the history of the World Cup to reach the semifinals, this was not something we were expecting from them that time. So anything can happen and if Senegal cannot withstand France, it doesn’t mean if they play against another African team will they find it easy to prevail. The World Cup is not even looking as predicted for most matches, so there is likelihood that anything can happen to any club in the course of the competition to not make it farther than expected of them.

Can you compare any African country with Argentina, France or Germany? I would've included Spain and Portugal bht they've drawn to African team but still they're ahead of those team in their groups so that should let you know that it would be more tough to match the strength of some European and American countries.
 The only African team i can boost of currently is Morocco, they're the only African team I can be confident of reaching the Semifinals or Quater finals, Ivory Coast tried but they're not capable of winning it yet. Well football has it's own surprises and anything can happen then shock me but I'm not expecting much from African countries.

[Cryptoprincess101]

Morocco is currently losing to Haiti by 1:0, that's incredible because they are a small team that Morocco is not supposed to allow them to even get a goal just like Scotland and Brazil did when they met them but what do we expect from an African team if not carelessness. Morocco is a safe spot since Brazil is winning Scotland but as African giants that Morocco is, they should better get an equaliser before halftime then win at full-time. They should understand that they are the most trusted team amongst other African teams in the world cup so they need to show their strength and walk in to the round of 32 with pride.

Yeah Morocco is good but I fail to understand what are they doing by letting Haiti score an early goal on their net. It is a very simple and weak team comparing to Morocco. I know that Morocco might finish second regardless of the final result of this match because Brazil is leading their match against Scotland. Nevertheless, they should not rely on that and try to move and score.
Failing against weak team like that will cost them a lot once they pass the group stage..

[Agbamoni]

Any African praying for African teams that qualified for the World Cup to reach the final is wasting his precious time. Can you believe Haiti has scored Morocco already. Haiti got lucky to be in this competition. They are not expecting the team to go that far. TBH, African teams are doing poorly in this competition.

If it comes to the point where an African team should win the World Cup, then you shouldn't expect it to come easy, some of the games the African team have lost against the Europeans teams didn't come come cheap for those African teams, after all Dr Congo held Portugal to a draw, we a saw how Ivory Coast stood their ground against Germany till the last minute before Germany were able to score extra goal, so regardless of what your expecting, the African teams too are not finding it easy.

Hahaha... Since the competition started no African team has even made it to the finals, coz most usually struggle at the group stage and many finally get knocked off at the knockout stage.. Semifinals is the highest that any African team has ever reached, but that for me is only because of luck...And that's why I wasn't even too bother when Nigeria didn't make it to the World Cup, because even if they did, they would have ended up pairing us with Argentina which would have resulted in straight up elimination... It's no longer a news as we have seen this in time past...

[Nightwatchmare]

I wanted to stake on Morocco to win Haiti in first half because after i have seen the performance of Morocco against Brazil and Scotland i had the belief Morocco would score 2 goals against Haiti in first half but fear did not allow me to go with what was on my mind. After Morocco and Haiti ends the first half, i was happy i did follow my mind because i would had loss big money. Haiti surprised everyone with the way they performed against Morocco in first half but Morocco was fast enough to equalize Haiti and the first half ended 2:2. It was in second half that Morocco subdued Haiti and scored more 2 goals to win game 4:2 and reach the next stage of the world cup.

[Lida93]

With this second loss to Norway and the goal deficit against the Senegalese side it's obvious that the Senegalese side are through with the World Cup and do not have any hopes of qualifying for the next rounds, I didn't believe that Senegal would perform the low in the World Cup  but it happened and all attention would  now be focused on the likes of Cabo Verde, Morocco, Ghana, Egypt and  the rest of the African teams who still have a chance to qualify.

Honestly the Senegalese team are just unlucky to be in the group of death that's all I can say because they are really strong and they did not make it easy for France or Norway but the difference is just too clear.
In another universe and Senegal found themselves in the group south Africa is I am sure they would actually qualify from that group, not just that there are many other groups that j believe that Senegal would have done well but they are just unlucky to be in the undisputed group of death.

It doesn't feel to me that the Senegalese team are unlucky and that's why they haven't gotten even a single point in their group after two consecutive games, but it's just an effect of a depreciating team form that's affecting the Senegal team. Their group isn't anything much of a group of death to me than some of the other groups where we still see the most underdogs thriving with points to the next stage. Even if they couldn't get a point from Spain, they had no excuse not getting it from the Norwegians, considering that they're one of the strongest team in African football.

I could actually compare some of our countries to Germany because there are two countries they may not just win as they won Ivory Coast but Argentina and France are more indisputable, it was Nigeria that usually get an almost equal strength with Argentina when they are in the world Cup because of there familiarity with Argentina but non of this African countries may do it, though Morocco might actually pull a surprise but they haven't play with Argentina this year. However I haven't congratulated Morocco of there successful group stage and for not actually getting any beating from any countries on the group irrespective of how big they were against them, they completed there three match with 4:2 beaten on Halti.
