Among the two African countries that are remaining, I am believing Morocco to qualify for the next round than Senegal. This is because England this year is better than Spain. Moreover Spain didn't have a very easy ride during the group stage. They at a point was not about to crash out . This doesn't mean I'm undermining any country. Anyone can advance including the Senegalese

Senegal will have a tough game today against england i think their performance against netherland and ecuador gives hope that they can resist the english team but on the otherhand england team has many good players which gives them many options i think even if england win it will be with a slight difference.

When Morocco was able to advance to the knockout stages it was really surprising because from several African teams I didn't expect they would be able to do much but they proved very well, against Spain they had a chance to beat their opponents especially Spain being a team that was a bit strange with its appearance declining, winning draws and losing, if Morocco can beat Spain that would be an extraordinary achievement for them.
The success of the underdogs is always encouraging, but they also have unpleasant consequences. For example, the 1/8 round seems completely boring to me - real epic battles will begin from the 1/4 finals: England - France, the Netherlands - Argentina, etc. I think everyone will agree that such games are much more interesting to watch than for example Morocco - Portugal (if Morocco can beat Spain, and Portugal can beat Switzerland).

Yeah the video cracked me up, the guy was so eloquent, and everyone else laughed too. One day that Ghanaian Maguire will become a meme.
More like economical Maguire lol, the video was funny and the speaker was actually making sense but what was more funny to me was the way Ghanaian players acted towards Luis Suarez and the whole Uruguay squad during the handshake at the start of their match but yet they couldn't get the revenge they were so hungry for. A. Ayew was even one of the players that carried the whole revenge agenda on his shoulder but yet he couldn't put one at the back of the net for his country. The parliament speaker should had used him (A. Ayew) as an example instead of Maguire but I guess the speaker wanted to use a more relatable players and probably go viral as he has gone.
Goodluck with your bet mate, I basically stay away from this type of bet as my emotions will get the worst decision out of me. I want Senegal to win, we all want Senegal to win but this england team are deadly at the counter. Senegal loves possession football but this england team plays best at the counter so they might just rely on that and Senegal won't be abel to keep up.

I saw the video, he was using Maguire as a case study to what is going on in the country, I was shocked the majority of the Reps had no idea who Maguire was from the reaction on their faces when he started the story but burst into heavy laughter when he finally told how unfortunate they guy is. The African team has performed better than I expected; they have made significant contributions thus far, and based on current trends, we may have an African semi-finalist.
BTW Senegal Poland @ 7.80 and 10.50 respectively is a huge one.... might dip into one tomorrow.

As promised yesterday, here is my Senegal bet. At great odds, too, I agree! I think England should still scrape through, but the Senegalese are super pumped, they want to do this for Aliou and Sadio!
Poland I also took for a similar amount, and at the great odds you quoted (now still possible to get 11/1 if you use a Sportsbet special).

All the world Cups that I have watched, this 2022 world cup tournament is not less interesting world cup ever. Though individual teams are playing well. Weak teams are playing well to survive while old teams are playing nonsense. I personally appreciate Morocco and Senegal for qualification to the round of 16. Nobody is expecting Morocco to beat Spain in this tournament but if they played well they can do the wonderful thing.
Spain is a well known team in world cup. So for Morocco to beat Spain eh, that will be a ery big plus to the history of football in Morocco.

Morocco have shown good spirit and sportsmanship so far in the World Cup, even being one of the dugout teams they still proved they can compete against even the toughest of nations in the world cup and I'm very proud of them. This is how I expect every other African nation to play but it turns out only a few are able to give this level of performance and I won't be surprised that Morocco could still have more shocking results for the world in tbe world cup.

From the performance I have seen in Morocco players in this world cup is very impressive. I see Morocco as the best in performance among Africa teams in the world cup. This is the first world cup for me to see Morocco in their best performance, atleast it will make them have a winning mentality in every competition. legendary

No one should blame Abubakar for taking off his cloth after his goal against Brazil, he didn't just score a goal but he also scored the only goal in the match and the winning goal for his country Cameroon. The prolific striker was not just excited about scoring the goal but he was full of happiness for breaking the long history for all Africans as the only player to score a goal to defeat Brazil I think he was aware of the offense but since the goal and win couldn't take them to the knockout stage, the celebration was the only thing that matters to him and no one should blame him for doing what he did. Africans are proud of him even the referee that gave the card it shows in his smile when the striker shook his hands before leaving the pitch.
Who's blaming Abubakar I would had done the same thing if I was the scorer of that beautiful header. He didn't just score a goal (like an equalizing goal) but a match winner. Even though he knows Cameroon wouldn't be playing the next stage of the tournament, he needed a highlight after been impressive in this tournament and yet not been talked about. The last match he also scored what I'll consider the best goal so far in the tournament and provided an assist for their comeback that ended 3:3 against Serbia. For a player who hasn't had a breakthrough career for club football (like not playing at the top clubs, winning well recognized individual medals), he truely needed that moment for himself not minding what the outcome will be.
The red card doesn't put his teammate at risk neither because he knows they're going home after that game. My only worries was for that goal to not have been cancelled as they would had been very frustrating considering the red card won't be revoke. VAR can do wonders as we mightn't know what they'll use to disqualified goals at any given moment. Also Cameroon winning Brazil, that's another achievement as it looks unreal, they done us prove.

Otto Addo, the coach for the Ghanaians Senior team has resigned from football after the loss from the world cup tournament in Qatar 2022. The coach said earlier before the tournament kick starts that, if they (the Ghanaians team) qualifys or wins the cup he will still resigned and travel to Germany and finally thing didn't come out how it was planned. The African Black Starts (The National football team of ghana) has gone home after the when they been defeated by Uruguay at the group stage with 2 nil

African teams played good in this World Cup but unfortunately they made a mistake in a game that costed them a lot. Tunisia underestimated Australia. Cameroon should regret Serbia game mainly.
After all from 5 teams, there is two that will face quite hard teams. Morocco - Spain and Senegal - England, the winners will avoid Brazil and Argentina but will have to face France at some point.
I won't say they underestimated any team. I mean, who is there to underestimate? The African football is the one being looked at with a common eye often. Why? Because the European style of play and management have come to stand out than anything African. Hence, having no European football experience seems like a fault by default as per origin.After all from 5 teams, there is two that will face quite hard teams. Morocco - Spain and Senegal - England, the winners will avoid Brazil and Argentina but will have to face France at some point.
And again, I would say they aren't misfortuned but just playing the game. At least, we've seen the likes of Brazil, Spain, Argentina, Germany all loosing games in the tournament. African teams are doing there bit and we sure do need to better our playing style in such a way that, it doesn't have to look towards the European style of play for approval but be unique and top notch.

Interestingly Morocco will play the round 16 with their European neighbor Spain in a match I give equal chances to both country basically both country have similar style of play, if the Moroccans can go all the way to top their group which include a star-studded Belgium and Croatia then I knew they have a lot to offer in the competition and not mere pushover, honestly more upset is bound to be unleashed in many matches ahead just like the way Camerounian defeated Brazil in yestarday match, I must commend the African countries that participated in this World Cup for putting up a brilliant performance and representing the continent well.

Cameroon odds were surprisingly not as bad as I would have imagined, probably as books knew Brazil would be playing a somewhat second string... but as soon as Shaqiri scored, news must have filtered through as I felt their shoulders dropped even lower... Kunde not even contesting a soft foul suggesting they're already resigned. Shame as they had a decent early chance.
Edit: Aboubakar! KO stage lessons? Bet every game against the fav!
Vincent Aboubakar celebration by taking off his jersey after scoring a goal against Brazil was very emotional. He knew victory over Brazil could not carry his country into the last 16, but one goal that came from his head allowed Cameroon to beat a formidable team in the world most prestigious tournament.Edit: Aboubakar! KO stage lessons? Bet every game against the fav!
Although Cameroon failed to qualify from the group stage, at least Africa has sent two representatives to the last 16 of Morocco and Senegal. Their struggle is very difficult in the round of 16 because they will meet other strong teams, Senegal will meet England and Morocco will be directly challenged by Spain.
It takes high confidence to win, even though England and Spain are very difficult to beat, that don't mean they can't be beaten.

Did anyone see the Ghana politician mentioning Maguire thing? I saw it on Al Jazeera, that was brilliant.
Saw the Senegal fans coverage on some local media too, brilliant Senegalese responses, everyone and I meant, everyone, said they weren't afraid of England... just Brazil and France haha.
2-1 Senegal's my pick, I'll share a bet tomorrow if I make it out of tonight alive. Just need Argentina to not mess up their lead!

Argentina never disappoints, Messi has been the best player in the tournament so far, it's been a huge year for him, he could have gotten two assists tonight but Martinez is just so shit, I'm not surprised he trains with Lukaku at Inter Milan, bird of the same feathers.

someone was blaming Abubakat where I was that he shouldn't have removed his clothes after scoring Brazil. I told him in your same words that it is emotional, it wasn't intentional it's not easy to get a goal against Brazil and that goal would mean that they have won Brazil. It was a good record for himself as someone that is almost ended his career. so that was a win for his country, for Africa and for his career. He didn't remember anymore that he was on yellowcard

At first, I really doubted that Morocco would be able to finish all the matches they would face well but in fact, they did that, it's not easy to beat other teams to get into the round of 16 (even they beat Belgium and Canada with more than 1 goals).
There are only two representatives from the African continent in the round of 16. I wonder if Senegal or Morocco will be able to enter the quarter-finals and even the semifinals later! Let's wait and see.
