🚨🇿🇦🇲🇽 Mexico and South Africa fly to World Cup round of 32! ✨
Legendary achievement for South Africa, first time in their history at RO32. 🥹
Mexico win the group with 3/3 wins. 🌪️
Vini Jr. becomes just the 5th Brazilian ever to score in all three World Cup group stage games, joining Jairzinho (1970), Romário (1994), Ronaldo and Rivaldo (2002) 🔥
Brazil went on to win the title in each of those years 🏆
I said a few days ago that African teams are becoming more tactically aware and disciplined.
So far, only Tunisia have been poor; others have been competitive, even Senegal, which crashed out.
I feel African teams now understand what it takes to play as a team, not as individuals. That's the major difference.
We’re very likely getting Netherlands vs Morocco and Brazil vs Japan in the round of 32…
Netherlands-Morocco is close to a 50-50 for me. And while Brazil naturally go into the Japanese game expected to win, that’s a proper banana peel.
🚨 🇫🇷 JUST IN: Chelsea have started contacts with Lacroix, and Lacroix would open doors to Chelsea, he’s interested! I will tell you more soon. Chelsea and Crystal Palace have good relationship, also with his agent. (@FabrizioRomano)
