@silvina_jk The fact you mentioned Foden tells me all I need to know, all you've mentioned here is not based on Facts, Tuchel in game management is top notch, he doesn't mind winning ugly as well, England has more match winners, Argentina has Messi, Argentina is more experienced. Score draw
@GemIzuchukwu@RemilekunOlaji2@Bancrypto__ France need to have the ball to hurt the opposition, Spain will starve you off the ball, that was how Barca usually neutralized Madrid's potent attack years ago, all I'm saying is it will be a more complicated game for France.
@ammandev Watched a few of his games during the WC qualifiers and was really impressed, I don't watch Serie A that much so I can't really say much about his performance in the league, but everytime I've watched him play for France he has been super, but I heard he's injury prone.
@RemilekunOlaji2@Bancrypto__ Spain is the best at retaining the ball, they will definitely outclass France midfield, France has a better attack and defense.
@HonitelHQ When I was single, I was always nonchalant with all the ladies I was talking to/dating/having fun with etc I was never committed, I did that even more to the most beautiful ones, I never gave them control, I had the mindset that there's always another guy, best decision I made.
African teams need to learn how to break plays.
At 80min, with 2-0 ahead in a World Cup KO game, all they needed was TACTICAL FOULs and antics to frustrate Argentina.
We need to learn the dark arts.
In 1980, a man named Richard turned on his television and saw a female player from Romania receiving a check for $40,000 after winning a major tennis tournament. The scene shocked Richard; it was far more than his annual salary.
Within a few years, he decided that his young
daughters would also play tennis. After turning off the television, he sat down and wrote a 78-page document outlining a plan for his two daughters to escape their hometown of Compton, California, an area known for notorious gang violence. However, there were significant obstacles: Richard knew nothing about tennis, he couldn’t afford to pay for their training, and astonishingly, his daughters weren’t even born at that time.
A divorce lawyer told me the one text that makes women sleep with men they don't need to sleep with.
She's seen it end marriages.
Turn a woman who hadn't looked at another man in 6 years into someone she didn't recognise.
It sounds completely innocent.
Here it is 👇
@AdageorgeA Different strokes for different folks, but I strongly advise you don't, I know a close family friend that did something similar, she literally married the man, he had nothing and appeared really humble, he eventually became an abuser and was ungrateful, always cheating.
When I was 24, I was dating a man I was absolutely convinced I was going to marry.
He was handsome, ambitious, charming, and completely unpredictable.
If he ignored my messages for two days, I'd tell myself he was busy.
If he canceled plans at the last minute, I'd tell myself he was stressed.
If he said something hurtful, I'd spend hours trying to figure out what I had done wrong.
One weekend, I went to visit my grandfather because I needed advice.
I sat with him on the veranda and spent nearly an hour explaining my relationship.
I explained the mixed signals.
I explained the confusion.
I explained how much I loved him.
My grandfather listened without interrupting once.
When I finally finished, he asked me a question.
"Does he like you?"
I laughed because I thought he was joking.
I said, "Grandpa, I just spent an hour explaining that we're in love."
He nodded.
Then he asked again.
"No. I didn't ask if you love him. I asked if he likes you."
I remember just staring at him.
He leaned back in his chair and said,
Only a woman who has her own money is capable of loving a man.
She wants the man for who he is, not primarily for what he has.
It is impossible for a woman besieged by poverty to love a man.
Your dad is not wrong. I even have written on it once.
Morocco shows up as MAR on scoreboards because FIFA's country codes do not always come from the English name.
A lot of them come from French, which is the working language FIFA has used since it was founded in Paris in 1904. Morocco in French is Le Maroc. First three letters: MAR.
And Morocco is not alone. This happens more than people realise.
Germany is GER, which tracks in English. But then you get to Ivory Coast, which shows up as CIV, from Côte d'Ivoire. Algeria is ALG from Algérie. Haiti is HAI from Haïti. Switzerland is SUI from Suisse. Spain is ESP from España. Iran appears as IRN.
The pattern runs across the entire scoreboards.Some countries are also coded based on whatever their language is.
FIFA built its codes in an era when French dominated international administration, and colonial history shaped which language a country's name was recorded in first.
That legacy is still sitting quietly on every scoreboard at this World Cup.
I hope you have learned something today.

I know a number of people who didn’t marry their “spec” but are in the healthiest marriages I know. Their spec was typically whatever was culturally deemed to be at the apex of the attractiveness pyramid when they were growing up. For a lot of guys in my generation, it was the music video “vixens” from the late 90s/early 2000s Hip & R&B music videos with ‘coke bottle figures’ and or light skinned eurocentric features. When it’s time to find a partner for the very serious endeavor of sharing a life with, that “spec” is simply inadequate as a measure of compatibility and that’s understandable. The foolishness though is communicating it as though their partner somehow didn’t measure up to their “spec” instead of simply admitting that the idea of their spec was stupid all along and a young boy’s lack of wisdom of what makes a good life partner.
Communicating publicly or even privately to your partner that they weren’t your spec to begin with may seem harmless, after-all you’re just being honest. But subconsciously, it’s an ego trip for you who “settled” and for your the partner, it’s a chip they will always carry on their shoulder that to you, they aren’t quite enough. They’re missing something you had always longed for, so much so that you still consider it to be your “spec”. It’s an unnecessary mind fuck and a cruel thing to say about somebody who is sharing a life with you. No matter how flowery you are with the compliments that come after. You’ve already knocked them down several pegs.
If the point is to say your spec changed then talk about the stupidity of having a spec to begin with. Because I’ve never heard anyone in these situations talk about character attributes being their spec, it’s always superficial stuff. Or speak about how meeting your partner opened your eyes to what true beauty is. Speak in ways that elevate and affirm your partner.
I have learned one of the hardest lessons of my life.
And I like to share what I saw yesterday in the hospital as a nurse. They brought in a patient who had an accidentt and is in the emergency room .
His wife spoke to her sister in our language that if he diess she will have to leave Lagos, sell his houses and leave . She told her sister that not a single penny will go to his family and his first son, I think he had a son before marrying her.
Shortly after a colleague came in and said she heard the man’s brother on phone call talking about property and this man is so young .
The only person that cried and kept praying is that his son. Almost ten people in the hospital only one person cried even his wife nothing .
A man is still breathing, still fightingg for his life, yet some people have already shifted their attention to what he owns.
Since they got to the hospital, theyve asked more questions about properties, documents, and assets than about the man himself.
So one of the nurse said she knows the man and that the man is very kind hearted someone that Carries people’s problem on his head .
It hurts to realize that while we total strangers are hoping and praying, some people are already thinking beyond him.
I am so sad for him because he finally gave up this morning .

@Priceless_MCI If only Senegal had the mentality of Cape Verde and Morocco, they would have done better in this world cup, talent alone isn't enough, inferiority complex killed Senegal.
@Omojuwa I hated Messi for winning U20 world cup & Olympics against Nigeria, for beating MANUTD in two UCL finals & always beating Madrid, then later dealing with Super Eagles in world cup, dude was always breaking my heart without even knowing, I had to appreciate his greatness by force
