Official road to World Cup 2024 Thread
Ha! That was amazing! "But MORE importantly," Gotcha bitch! Props to that white dude for that.
I agree.
Off the top, Nigeria won Afcon '94, Olympics '96 and got out of their group and almost beat Italy at WC '94. CIV won Afcon '92 but other than that...
You have to wait until their golden generation with Drogba, Kalou, Touré brothers etc.
I think it is fair to say the 90s were essentially Nigeria as much as it pains me to say it.
Its one of those things where I am shocked somebody is debating me...based off the 90s who would have thought that massive Nigeria would be stinking up the joint like it is now...and it was a football coming out party for all of Africa (nobody forgets Cameroon) around that time so I am not diminishing anyone else but Nigeria was certainly on an impressive trajectory and it just fizzled out...the talent is still there so what happened?...massive corruptionI agree.

break my heart ?
so the whole world crazy?
what has haaland done?
did he win a wc?
now dont get me wrong his future is great but at this point u choosing haaland is crazy.
and u act like haaland is playing at a bum team?
here is my thing debris they did the same thing with messi and cr
all these footballers are ass. but they pick and choose, when haaland wanted out dortmund he acted like a dick as well
but his face is more acceptable so he is a good guy.
nah my point is mbappe is multinational haaland isnt
also he is doing his job. people will say but mbappe has beter team.
greece won the euros remember? fuckin greece.
and i can go on and on.

Predictions on the final score?
6 - 1
Ima have to go with DJ's score.
Consolation Prize
Of course brazil brought out that ruger. What did anybody expect to happen? Neymar blinging and Richarlison getting his flowers. Well deserved.
Is there a lack of confidence in a Neymar-less Brazil?...he is keeping Neymar and other starters on for longer than I thought
I spoke too soon...I expect Brazil to score again with some of these dudes off the bench
Fox ain’t shit. Their coverage is the worst in this country and it’s a shame they have the English rights to this tournament.
They got torn apart this morning.
Its bad when people who can't speak spanish tune into the Spanish broadcasts
Really bad. I know Fox has a history of pandering to dummies in this country but their entire broadcast assumes nobody knows anything about the game. Still tryna introduce people to the game or some shit.
NBC and CBS Paramount all moved on from that and have top tier broadcasting because of it, while Fox is stuck in 94. It’s ridiculous.
Telemundo is elite tho, especially if you speak and understand Spanish. They talk tactics & strategy the entire match. Cantor is also the king.
C-suite cable bros intent on translating this exotic, bewildering sport into the language of touchdowns, home runs, and alley oops for what they see as the country’s blinking, insular Yankee Doodle millions.

That is the problem though; a ton of people watching the English language broadcast actually need them to explain the basics. Spanish language, not so much.
Have you ever watched NFL coverage in the UK or NBA coverage in France? Fox reminds me of that...
