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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

This is a sensation level Japan - Germany. Now the situation in the group is quite interesting - Morocco is playing with a demotivated Canada, which definitely does not make it to the playoffs, and Belgium is playing with Croatia, which needs at least a draw. In fact, all three teams have chances, but now Belgium is an underdog.

In group F, I see that Morocco is the strongest team besides Croatia. they beat Belgium with a score of 2-0 in the last minutes of the match and it really surprised many parties, apart from that Morocco was filled with many young players which made it difficult for Belgium.


Canada is the worst team in Group F, and Morocco will definitely be able to beat them. lastly, Canada lost 4-1 to Croatia, so there is no hope for them to win the match against Morocco.

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.

Am not saying you do not have the right to criticise them but saying they are a disgrace is more than criticism when we know that our own country did not even make it to Qatar. It is like a student that came last in his class making fun of another student in a different class who performed woefully in his examination.

There is still time to judge if our Africa teams are failures or not at the end of the first round. For now the victories of Senegal and Morocco are things of joy and we have to continue to celebrate them. Maybe they will encourage other Africa countries to do well.

this was without a doubt a great victory for morocco, but there are still more obstacles that they need to overcome if they want to move on to another phase, morocco needs to concentrate and play well in order to win the game against canada and then comes the biggest obstacle, winning the team that moves on to another stage, where the African teams have suffered a lot, and we are not able to reach the final of the world cup, we Africans have to think big, we have to have the ambition of having strong teams capable of reaching the final of the cup in the world, unfortunately with the corruption we have in Africa that even in soccer arrived and settled for years, soccer in Africa does not evolve


I even wondered: what is this coach from Belgium on his mind? he could have put lukaku on from the beginning of the game, i'm sure lukaku would be a better option than Eden Hazard. It would even be better to have put Lukaku and Trossard on from the beginning of the game, that would make Belgium's attack stronger, but this coach is making serious mistakes that will make Belgium not pass to another phase, and at this moment the situation of the belgium is not good, one defeat and they go home, it's sad to see that because belgium was even favorite in this group, and if they don't pass to another stage then this coach will be fired


since years ago, tunisia has always been a good team, they will always play well, but i confess that i didn't expect them to lose against australia, tunisia even had more possession of the ball, but they didn't manage to score a goal, that has been the problem of African teams, their attack is weak, I was impressed with Ghana, Senegal and Morocco who managed to score 2 goals


ecuador is a strong team, senegal will definitely have a lot of difficulty to beat ecuador, i believe that this will be a game in which it can end in a draw and senegal would not pass to another phase, the only chance for senegal to pass to another phase is if Senegal managed to defeat Ecuador

Watching the first half of the game I almost didn't want to continue because Belgium dominated the game right from the ball possession, corners, shots on goal even pass accuracy but coming to the second half of the game the African team changed the game dramatically as they caused severe pain in the defense line of Belgium with their constant attack which continued till they got the reward with a beautiful goal in the 73rd minute by Abdelhamid Sabir.


The goal motivated them to push more attack and finally they were stable as Hakim Ziyech put the Moroccan team side in a more comfortable position with a fantastic assist to Zakaria Aboukhlal who gave the African team the second goal that ensures them a possibility of qualification if they should defeat Canada in their last game.


No one believed that the Moroccan team can defeat the number one-ranked team in the world not even an African team but the performance of Morocco today did not just indicate an improvement in African football it shows how overrated Belgium's team has been, big congratulations to the Morrocan team for a good job.

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.

Well I also think the same, I think that the African countries are giving a lot to talk about, Senegal is doing very well, now Ghana has a lot of chance to win, in this World Cup the opportunities are equal for all, the Asian teams are giving a lot to talk about too, the case of Japan has moved me a lot, those of us who have seen anime know that we associate the Japanese team a lot with the famous series of "super champions" and many of us grew up watching that great story, now well, I'm not Neither Asian nor African, but when a country from those continents plays here, many (in South America) also support them.

Both Africa and Asia have grown a lot in terms of the level of football, before they were not as successful as they are now, so here they are exciting, and I think that is also what it is about.

Ecuador and Senegal battle it out to reach the World Cup last 16 in a winner-takes-all Group A clash... but what time is kick-off? What TV channel is it on? What is their head-to-head record? And what is the team news?

Here things are yet to be defined, I think that the one that has to make the least effort is the Netherlands to get their classification, of course it is not even a game that they go out with the whole bank to play and they get pissed off and lose, the other thing is that here the teams Ecuador and Ghana will go out to kill each other, it is a worthy meeting between Africa and South America, it must be seen like this, it is a very exciting meeting because the groups will be defined and who will advance to the Round of 16.

Another big win for Africa, bigger than senegal's win over Qatar, but thanks to Senegal still for setting the pace for other African countries to believe that they can win games. after the disappointing defeat yesterday from Tunisia at the hands of Australia the Moroccan team has vindicated us the Africans that our teams and representatives in the world cup can still qualify for the knockout stages. The statistics have been against Morocco going against the ranked second best team in the world Belgium but they were able to silence the critics and show that they really deserved to win. Great game!

Belgium have been one of the teams in this world cup that have performed really badly below expectations in the two games they have played. I wonder why their coach would still be starting a player who is out of form and old like Eden Hazard when they have younger more talented and in form players like Trossard, their coach will most likely be sacked if they fail to qualify for the round of 16.

The very last five FIFA World Cups that Tunisia has actually participated in have seen them miss out on the knockout stage.

Tunisia has competed in six FIFA World Cups, although they have never advanced past the round of 16. At the group stage, they keep losing. They will continue to qualify for the following world cup and will once again serve as an African representative.

Tunisia's upcoming match is against France, hence they are already out of the group stage because there is no chance they can defeat France.

If it is feasible, I would advise Tunisia to quit stressing about attending the World Cup and instead focus on other things. they should give other African countries a chance to represent Africans in the world cup
