@FabrizioRomano Glad the President of France stood up for Kylian Mbappe. The political interference at this world cup is second to none.

@KMbappe Well said, Donatello. Your rebuttal is mature, measured and classy. Wishing you the very best in your quarter-finals encounter against the Atlas Lions of Morocco.

Kevin Lenini has given Cape Verde the definitive start to the 2026 #FIFAWorldCup by scoring the West Africa's nation first-ever goal at a FIFA World Cup against two-time champion Uruguay. The defensive midfielder scored from a free kick over 25 yards away.

Belgium's golden generation wasted the last decade with a mediocre Roberto Martinez as Coach and fast-forward to today ended up a brutal nadir. That Iran can hold Belgium to a goalless draw at the 2026 #WorldCup is unbelievable.

West Ham needs some soul searching and a sobriety check if they want to escape relegation. How do you concede three set piece goals from corner kicks against Liverpool in 45 minutes and the coaching crew have done nothing to fix that leak? Absolutely embarrassing. #LIVWHU

This is the squad for the friendly match against Cameroon before the 2026 WAFCON. I am most happy @NgoziOkobi made the squad again after a four-year hiatus. Welcome back, sis.

This duo will be a perfect combination moving forward. Ademola Lookman 🤝 Julian Alvarez. @Atleti

Nigeria wins the Bronze medal at #AFCON2025 defeating Egypt on penalties 4 - 2. Stanley Nwabali saved two penalties (Mo Salah and Marmoush) in the shootout and won the Man of the Match award.

Samuel Chukwueze cost Nigeria the Semi-Final. Players miss penalties but the nonchalance, the sagging, the chewing of gum like a roadman, not wearing his socks and shin-guard properly are those little things that separate great players from mediocre ones.

Nigeria's buildup is too slow and predictable. They just need to find their rhythm. If Morocco scores, Nigeria can't come back with this mentality. So, the best bet is for Nigeria to score first and the match will be even. Chukwueze should come in for Akor.

[LineKicker @LineKicker]

I don't complain about referees but this Ghanaian referee takes the flack. His calls are so pathetic and it's sad Nigeria is playing against a 12-man Morocco side. Very dubious calls. Still, Onyedika remains a weak link for this match. #NGRMAR

[LineKicker @LineKicker]

Onyedika messed up Nigeria's first-half. He's indecisive and he has been dispossessed thrice in four minutes. Not good for a defensive midfielder. Raise your shorts up and stop sagging, pull your socks up and wear your shin-guard properly so you can slide. #NIGMOR

A Yassir Zabiri double strike was all the Junior Atlas Lion of Morocco needed to clinch the 2025 #FIFAU20WC in Chile.

Diatta and Senegal, closer to the World Cup after today's victory! 🇸🇳😍

Our defender played the 90 minutes ❤️🤍

The Gambia really meant business against Seychelles. This is what the Brits will term "a severe shellacking." The humiliation is bumper. To the Gambians, all I can say is Nangadef. Very good game from them. #wcqualifiers
