If the defeat is coming from a Super superior opponent then it will be understandable, like the match we just watch ( Germany vs Caracao ) but for the type that happened against Brazil in 2014 at the Maracana stadium ,that's horrible #Fifaworldcup2026

I remember I had one tunisian colleague in Paris, he'd leave work at 3.30pm to go, wear his jersey, and watch Esperance play CAF champions league ....lol you pple are sure you have this culture se? Lool abeg.

Brighton paid around £2 million for a defender from a Dutch second-division club five years ago. Tottenham are now being asked to pay £70 million for him. That is a 40x return. It did not happen by accident. Jan Paul Van Hecke was playing for NAC Breda in the Dutch second division when Brighton signed him in 2020. You could fit NAC Breda's ground inside Tottenham's three times over. Nobody at Spurs was watching. Brighton sent him on loan twice, once to Heerenveen and once to Blackburn Rovers, then brought him back and turned him into one of the Premier League's best passing defenders. In 2024-25, he completed 379 progressive passes, those forward balls that cut through defensive lines, the second-highest total by any Brighton player in a Premier League season. He carries the ball forward better than 97 out of 100 centre-backs in Europe. Brighton's analysts say his profile sits closest to Marquinhos at PSG. Since becoming a starter, he's been part of 25 non-penalty Premier League goals. That ties him with Kyle Walker. Only Man City and Liverpool players rank above him. Spurs need him because they finished 17th last season. A club that reached the 2019 Champions League final survived relegation on the final day by beating Everton 1-0 while West Ham went down. Their first genuine relegation battle in 49 years. A club in that position cannot spend the summer being patient. Brighton have already rejected two bids, roughly £40 million and then £50 million. CEO Paul Barber confirmed both on talkSPORT. The price now sits around £70 million, potentially £81 million, which would make Van Hecke the fifth most expensive centre-back ever sold. Pay that and it becomes Tottenham's largest transfer in club history, past the £56 million they spent on Xavi Simons. One more number: Van Hecke's contract expires in June 2027. Tottenham could wait 12 months and sign him for free. They cannot afford that patience after nearly going down. Brighton ran this same model before: Caicedo, bought for £4 million from Ecuador and sold to Chelsea for £115 million; Cucurella, bought from Getafe for around £12 million and sold to Chelsea for £56 million; Mac Allister, bought for around £7 million and sold to Liverpool for £35 million. Find the overlooked player, develop them for a few years, sell to the club whose desperation sets the price. Whatever Spurs pay will fund whoever Brighton have already spotted at a ground a third the size of their own.

When you amortized the fee for the duration of time spent at the Bridge, with no longer on his side , it's a fair bargain

Commenencia !!! #Curacao

The market rewards value, not ambition. Wanting a billion dollars is common. Creating a billion dollars' worth of value is rare.

The defense and the midfield have been sorted out already he needs an additional proven striker

Senegal & Nigeria will match them band for band. Morocco played against Nigeria & Senegal with host advantage & the ref on their side just last year & didn't score a goal in a game of 120 mins. Senegal beat them last year, they had to run to court. Last time Morocco beat Nigeria in a senior tournament match was AFCON 2004.

One of the dangers of the IMF loan is that the citizens of those countries bear the brunt of the said cheap loan via imposition of taxes to make life unbearable for them to live

My friend's wedding... I was the best man. I never sat down... Was everywhere. Meeting the boys in charge of drinks, talking to caterers, DJ, hypeman, event manager... Being on suit or uniform wouldn't stop you from being in charge of drinks or doing other things. Telling him not to be among the groomsmen is disrespectful and no, he wasn't too sensitive.

Once again, Victor boniface is one of the most complete striker the Super eagles might have had , That tin akor adams is thriving at right now , but then again, injuries, life, destiny and luck comes in play some times

Yesterday wasn't the first time an African team was playing at the @FIFAWorldCup oh , so go watch the Nigeria vs Italy and Span match at 94 & 98 respectively

Let’s even go back small. They are NEVER matching the 1994 squad of Nigeria. Hell, Okocha still dey collect MOTM for 2026 from performance in that World Cup held in this same USA. An average North African will remember the exploits of JJ and Yekini and the team of the ‘90s if you just mention you are Nigerian(just enter any Medina and check). Just January this year, Chelle used his famous diamond😭 to play one of the best football at an AFCON they hosted. They have a good side but let’s not shit on the other African teams who beat them on a regular when they jam because they were slicing through a unrecognizable Brazilian midfield in a game they still didn’t win.

It was never going to be 1 and 4

- South Africa had 6 Sundowns players in starting XI out of 19 PSL players. -Egypt has 14 EPL players in 26-man squad. -Algeria has 2, -Tunisia has 6, We have talents in the domestic league, they need encouragement, Mental Fortitude & Confidence. Nwaiwu left only a yr ago..

It t takes life to tweet. Beyond the insight, the real headline is that you survived the knife and returned with breath still in your body. That is grace. That is mercy. Thank God you are still here, giving us the gold rush of your viewpoints. Life first. Opinions after.

This Christians name reminds me of my time in Yola ,

Amen 🙏

💙💜 that's the colour 👍

If eventually the Atlas 🦁 of Morocco beats the Brazilian samba Boys honestly I won't see it as an upset , base on what Morocco did in the last edition of the @FIFAWorldCup in Qatar
