Two teenagers at the world biggest stage dominating midfields that have Casemiro, Bruno G, Paqueta, Kimmich, Pavlovic and Nmecha, excited for these huge talents and how they develop in the next couple of years.
Africa is well and truly blessed! ๐
If you look at it from all angles it's more a Bruno Fernandes hate than love for Cristiano Ronaldo or they are trying to push the blame on someone else because i don't understand how an entire fanbase including family is trying to force a rivalry between players of different generations, some have gone as far as saying envy, what of kind envy please Bruno envying Ronaldo of all people like Cristiano that he has always looked up to, it's just sad that it's fans driving this narrative.
With that comes to the conclusion of the Match week 1 for African sides.
1. Mexico 2-0 South Africa
2. Brazil 1-1 Morrocco
3. Ivory Coast 1-0 Ecuador
4. Sweden 5-1 Tunisia
5. Spain 0-0 Capeverde
6. Belgium 1-1 Egypt
7. France 3-1 Senegal
8. Argentina 3-0 Algeria
9. Portugal 1-1 Dr Congo
10. Ghana 1-0 Panama
Not a bad start, Match week 2 starts later today ; Stay connected
WC2026 experience! ๐
Dear Roberto Martinez
I know you have done it several times but please don't experiment with your Portugal team, Enrique has made your job easier by having this two play top level football together for 2 years straight so why not just start both alongside Bruno Fernandes.
I know how important Bernardo is to the team so if he has to play then he should play as the RW, am sure Bruno won't have issues imgerchanging with him mid game, Ronaldo as the striker and maybe the best player in the last training session start as the LW preferably someone that can hold width, is pacy and has a good eye for goal.
Rodrigo De Paul btw, how is a player of that quality playing in the MLS.
I don't know if he still has those physical levels but he's a proper B2B in a midfield pivot, and his passing has always been the most underated part of his game.
The World has heard about Spain now it's time to hear about Cape Verde.
For the first time ever in a FIFA World Cup game, Cape Verde has a starting XI.

Scored the winning goal
AMAD PERFORMANCE! ๐จ๐ฎ
Ivory Coast has serious depth, look at the quality of those attacking substitutions and to think their is a Guessand and Adingra that wasn't even involved today at all.
If Anderson is already city bound then United should move for Nico Gonzalez.
An interesting stat i figured out yesterday is that most games Bruno gets more touches than Kobbie which am not so comfortable with, which means United still lack that player that averages at least 80 touches per game which is why Anderson still remains my no 1 target and that is key if there is plan to dominate games next season.
Kobbie the small space magician, his expertise can be used a bit further to combine and open up spaces in the left and right hand spaces while someone like Nico who's more comfortable in the deeper areas, if anything it helps united have multiple players who can receive the ball in deeper areas.
2010 World cup opening match South Africa vs Mexico game will never ever leave my memory ๐
Mom told me and my brothers not to on the TV till we are through with chores, time was getting closer and we were not half done, left everything and started watching the game, one of the neighbors overhead the game and joined us, we didn't know how to tell him that it wasn't possible since we were gonna off as soon as we hear my mum's voice cause she usually greets people around before coming back, enjoyed every bit of the game especially when Chicharito came on cos he was one of the reasons we took the risk because he was recently signed by Manunited and we wanted to see what he looked like.
Fast forward to about 12/13 mins of the game left, mom was back and in less than 45 seconds we had to convince this brother that he had to leave this moment while turning off the TV and making sure it's cool and then go back to pretend like nothing has been happening in the last 2 hours ๐.
Long story short, he left, mum realised we actually watched TV did nothing at the end of the day, we went back to the chores, Dad came back later in the evening and we calmly watched France vs Uruguay.
