Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current discussion: African teams at Qatar.
In this world cup Africans did not perform well so many of them we thought that will do well for the contents they have them pick out from the knockout so it is remaining only Morocco which I don't know if they will survive with people they are playing with in the 16 round
Most African teams came to the World Cup with a first objective which is to pass the group stage. Then depends from nations, some will try to progress to the round of 8. After that things become very hard for them. Although many European nations have plenty of African players, like France, but African teams have a lower quality of players performance.. Making players progress faster and better isn't that easy 
I believe they have the qualities, but the players don't play together for a long time; sometimes you get called up, sometimes you are left behind for political reasons; the only team that ever played together for a long time was Nigeria in the 80s, and they were one of the best in the world but were really unlucky in the world cup; and the second team was Egypt, who conquered Africa for a decade while playing together for a long time. Politics and adequate training facilities are major reasons for African teams' poor performance in the World Cup.
Well, what can I say? Morocco are doing what everyone expected them to do, and Spain are labouring more than I expected them to. Didn't actually take a bet as I thought odds were too poor, so a draw is what the Africans would have loved, even if both sides could have won it at the death. Now we got 30 more minutes of extra time, expect this to be incredibly dull or incredibly exciting. Now the World Cup is feeling a lot more familiar haha.
How did Spain lose three consecutive penalty kicks? I've never seen anything like it. This is a huge game for Morocco, who have yet to lose and have only conceded one goal so far. excellent performance
