🚨 EXCL: Bruno Guimaraes informs Newcastle United of wish to leave & join Arsenal. #AFC stepping up pursuit - ready to offer deal worth up to £60m at present but no club-to-club contact yet + #NUFC stance still not entertaining bids for 28yo @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/6W3cpcqKKh
@FozGharby@Creamy_Rain@iamrahmanosman Yeah people don’t realise how bad we are, 14th in Africa and can say more or less rightly so
We need a strong AFCON 2027 Qualifying and Strong AFCON tournament
or could potentially get a tricky World Cup draw for 2030 and be in danger of missing out
Next appointment is huge
Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
@FozGharby@Creamy_Rain@iamrahmanosman Maybe objectively speaking but good example is Senegal
2026 - RO32 with 3 points beating Iraq 5-0
2018 - Grouped, 4 points, lost out on fair play rules
Is Senegal’s 2026 campaign more successful than 2018 because they made knockouts
I don’t believe so personally
@FozGharby@Creamy_Rain@iamrahmanosman Yeah, so the way you measure success then changes, everything has to be assessed within context
Getting to the knockouts with 3 points now isn’t the same as someone who did it with 5-6 points pre 2026
This is how federations gaslight fans when tournament ends
@Scott_Geelan@agyeitah That’s why I think it’s unfair to compare getting to the Knockout stage in World Cups from 2026 and beyond, to the ones before.
Arguably much harder achievement before
The real merit going forwards is getting to RO16 now as Egypt and Morocco have showed
@FozGharby@ObedAdiamah@Fentuo_ We aren’t but we still somehow seen as one globally
The Athletic gave us a Power Ranking of 26 before the World Cup started
Amidst all our dysfunction and chaos
That second half was pure cinema. I don’t know what they said to both teams in the dressing room but both the teams need massive credit because that was the best game of the tournament
