We see the other undervalued continent like Asian coming up with some impressive football and winning unwinnable games and yet here we had Africa nations disgracing us.

We do not have to see any defeat of African country as a disgrace, especially when we know that our own country did not even make it to the world cup. This is sports, there is going to be winners and losers. Those who win are not better than those who will lose. It is just a game. We have to cheer those on the pitch of play for their efforts. There are countries that lost their first matches but went ahead to win the trophy in the past. Africa to the world.

African teams are always end up with trying. They tried for this match, but they have not won trophy. I need players like Drogba, Jay-Jay, Kanu etc in the African teams. My African favorite teams that I was expecting bto do well in this world cup were Tunisia and Senegal. Now Tunisia is going home from group stage.. Senegal now is to play with Ecuador. I just believe that Senegal should win Ecuador to qualify for the next round. I don't have hope in Cameron. But luck is part in football, so let us watch out.

Calling players like Jay-Jay okocha and trophy in the same sentence is funny, because that guy basically didn't win anything major but just wasted his career dancing around the field. The other players you mentioned are goated but okocha is just leaving off the fact of him been popular and coming for Nigeria with football fans population. His stats are also ridiculous but I understand that then it wasn't about the stats but way of play and how you made the game enjoyable to the audiences but still that doesn't win you games.

Senegal vs Ecuador is going to be an interesting feature indeed but I don't think Senegal will have much challenges in that game. The Senegalese team should win that game flawlessly. Tunisia on the other hand were a disgrace. They just wasted the Africa slot at the tournament. I'm sure teams like Egypt or Nigeria would had done better then them. I won't be surprised if the lose the last game as well. They have nothing to play for again but just enjoy their last game at Qatar.

Luck in the world cup is really needed, Tunisia is also one of my favorite teams, and to be honest I didn't expect Australia to be able to beat them. Senegal is a big hope for supporters from the African continent, even though Mane can't play, Senegal's hope of advancing to the round of 16 is still there.
Senegal and Ghana are my two most favourite African teams in this world cup. In the next leg of Ghana's match I'm hoping that they have a win because I want to see them advance to the next stage of the competition as a matter of fact I want to see Senegal and Ghana in the next phase in the in the round of 16. I am hoping that Ghana is going to put up a fight just like Senegal did and get a win. I cannot say the same for Tunisia Morocco or Cameroon.

Tunisia has played hard and well but Australia is indeed a little luckier than them, Tunisia is quite tough. tomorrow Cameroon will face Serbia, this is their chance, so far Serbia has been pretty good too, this is not an easy match for Cameroon to face, they have to fight.

Tunisia 0:1 Australia 50'

Tunisia is African country that looks like the Europeans. They got draw in their first match and this afternoon they are taking their second leg and they are behind Australia with 1 goal. For they to have the hope of qualifying in this group stage they have to atleast draw this match.
Is what they can do and they need to do it. We remember that only one African country is able to win a match in this World Cup.
North African and some South African are Caucasian, yet they live in the African continent and are part of CAF.
The problem of African football is that the level of teams are way behind the other part of the world although many European teams have so many African origin players there, including key players. Even the level of national leagues is very poor, so we cannot expect much from them. If Senegal will be able to pass this stage it will be awesome.

Moreover, it was a victory over a team that clearly does not correspond to the level of the World Cup and is there only as a host. I was hoping that Tunisia would win today, but it turned out to be another defeat and another bad prediction in the pool. Now only Senegal has a chance to qualify for the playoffs, right? I don't believe that Cameroon will beat Brazil or that Ghana will beat both Uruguay and South Korea. I also do not believe in the victory of Morocco over Belgium.

Unfortunatly they lost the game so they are probably out of the world cup they need to win against france which is a really tough task, even if they draw today i don't think that could've changed many things, tomorrow morroco will face belgium they managed a draw against croatia and with belgium not playing good maybe they can get a good result to help them qualify.

Only 4 people answered to the poll, assuming the other members didn't pay attention to it. So it is "None" or Senegal or Ghana.
Senegal was the only team to get 3 points among African teams but this only happened in the second round vs weak Qatar. Their next game vs Ecuador will tell which team will progress between them but honestly Ecuador is very powerful and should not be underestimated. They showed better performance vs Netherlands than their game vs Qatar, it will not be an easy game for Senegal at all.
For the other teams, their mission is harder..

In the first round, all the African teams performed poorly, so this was an additional factor in not voting - not a very interesting choice when the most likely correct result is "None". Now it is clear that Senegal has the best chances, although they need a victory over a strong Ecuador, it is still more real than two victories for Cameroon or Ghana. In general, it turns out that after each round there is practically no intrigue.

1xBit.. recovered their reputation
The game was so interesting that at a time I was on my heels and reacting to the moments Ghana attempted to score. I'm a huge fan of Ronaldo so I supported Ronaldo and Portugal to win the match but I must commend Ghana for their effort cause they played so well against a top side like Portugal, I didn't expect them to perform the way they did after all other African nations couldn't even get a goal in their first games.
ghana is an amazing team, i didn't expect them to be able to score 2 goals against portugal. In the next match, Ghana will face one of the representatives from Asia, namely South Korea

ghana must win in this match if they don't want to be eliminated from the qualifying round, apart from senegal for teams from the african continent i support ghana

Ps: Guys don't forget to make use of the poll above, lets get the thought of the community on which nation do we think is likely to advance fro. the group stages of the competition.


I'd so much appreciate it if we can all make good use of the above poll, it won't take much of your time for that. Would it ?!
I did casted my votes already in the place of Senegalese National Team, I also feel like Tunisia are also likely to qualify for the next round.

If Senegal can at least hold and take full control of that Midfield for the game, they can stop flow and supplies of balls to them hit man Valencia who's got three goals now. Since Ecuador has four points currently, Senegal will have to defend very and take those chances in the back of the net when they have it, else they'll be punished. It's crystal clear they Dutch side's are topping the standing if they sure get a win against Qataris. Good luck to the winners and losers too. But Senegal for the next level and round.
As much as I don't want to still celebrate the win of Senegal against Qatar, I know that they have a better chance to contend with Ecuador. Qatar is weak, which was why I made mentioned a day after their defeat by Ecuador that the Ecuadorian team should be more prepared because they only won but I was still not encouraged by their display on the pitch.

Now that Senegal has trashed Qatar 1-3, it's a challenge for Ecuador, and my chance with the two teams is 50/50 because they are of the same form.

This world cup so far has been boring for the African continent. We don't have a goal or win yet to celebrate and it's frustrating watching all the lost and draws we're having. Hoping when our representing teams play the second leg of the group stages, we'll get some goals to celebrate.
Now you have two goals to celebrate it would gave been bad to finish the fiery round without a single goal from African team buy Ghana never disappoint.

Frankly I enjoyed the second goal which was scored by Bukari and the Siu celebration he did later, even Ronaldo was amazed. Ghana actually surprised me in that game. Out of all the Africa nations that went to Qatar they were my least favorite to do something. It's just occuring to me that Ghana was bond to score as their recent World cup appreance has all came with a goal. I underestimated them and so did the Portuguese side because of how poorly they played at the first half.

Now that an African nation has gotten a goal, I think it's high time we get a win at the world cup. Senegal plays Qatar today and that must be a must win game for Senegal and Qatar as well because anybody who lose should probably start packing their bags to go home as their chances of progressing has been lost. My bet is on Senegal to win that game convincingly. I hope Qatar hasn't bribe the Senegal side as the rumor of them doing that in previous game was reported.

SENEGAL IS THE FIRST AFRICAN TEAM TO HAVE A WIN IN THIS WORLD CUP.

The win of Senegal was a win for the whole African continents. Even though African teams are not weak, but they are unable to have a win. The Ghanaians were able to put pass 2 goals into the net of Portugal but some kind of favouritism make VAR not to review a controversial penalty kick and offside.
Senegal chances of qualifying from that group is still slim even after winning against Qatar. This is because Netherlands vs Ecuador is almost ending in draw which will extend the points of both teams to 4 against Senegal that has 3 points.
you are correct The victory and draw between Ned and Ecuador did not do them enough good because they need to win Ecuador to qualify while Ecuador only needs a draw to advance to the next round, Senegal's destiny is in their own hands and that's what everyone would want, if you lose you're out should ring in their heads going into that fixture, Ecuador are not an easy test.

I'm not a big fan of J. Ayew, but the entire Ghana hope is on A. Ayew and Partey. A. Ayew is a bit old now, and I wasn't expecting him to be selected to this world cup after his split with Ghana FA after they were eliminated from AFCON, but he is the only one capable of making dangerous attacks and shooting from the far post in that team. I never liked how J.Ayew was converted to a striker in the first place, and he hasn't done anything significant at Crystal Palace in my opinion.
Both players have been very productive and important in the Ghanian national team for years, and we have seen how much the team are relying and depending on both players to boost their performance in every game. J Ayew is so talented and has the ability to play in the midfield and also playing as an attacker which makes him an important figure in the team.
Yes, but he hasn't been that guy for a while now; he's been a shadow of himself for both club and country, but who cares? His father is a Ghana legend, and his sons must always make the team, even if they're performing below par.

You are the king of underdogs, I won't be surprised if you get this one right, I'm also expecting Ronaldo to have a difficult game with everything that has been going on with him recently, it's unfortunate that none of the African teams who have played have yet to register a single goal at the moment, maybe Ghana will give us the first goal and the first win. After what Japan did to Germany today, Ghana @8.40 is a good risk.

And I will forever regret not betting on Saudi, but yeah, this tournament is already in profit for anyone always betting against the favourites. Ghana actually as high as almost 10/1 and slowly coming down so that's always a good sign for me.

Inaki will want to really really build on his uptake this year, and you never know Ayew, he turns up with a mad run down the flank like he does for Palace and he's gold.

Senegalese officially becomes the first African side to win. Next to do so might be Tunisia they seem favorites in them next game.

We didn't expect anything less, they're the strongest side from the continent and meant to be representing us well. We see the other undervalued continent like Asian coming up with some impressive football and winning unwinnable games and yet here we had Africa nations disgracing us. Assuming Senegal didn't win this game then I would had given up on the Africa team entirely but it seems Ghana display yesterday brought some fight back into the Africa nations and we should be expecting other nations to keep the fire burning by winning their games.

Senegal without Sadio Mane can still come up with an impressive football as they did today. Kudos to the Qatar team as they tried their best but the Senegalese were just destined to win this game and they did it in a big win for the first time. The last time they scored this much goal at the world cup was against Uruguay at the 2002 world cup which ended in a 3-3 draw.

This victory was expected as Qatar is the weakest team in the tournament. As for the chances, I do not think that they have become worse - the condition for a guaranteed passage to the next round has not changed - it is necessary to beat Ecuador in a face-to-face meeting. Maybe after the game with the Netherlands, Ecuador will not be so fresh and Senegal will have an additional advantage (even if it is minimal).
