Commiseration Tunisia for not getting to the Knock out stage of Qtr 2022 WC. You have done well and proven that African countries have come of age in World football by beating the World champions, France.
Wasted African slot. They weren’t enterprising throughout
Wasted? They achieved something though…. They beat the defending world champion. The super eagles can’t even play like this
We are mentally weak.
You need mental strength to win big games unfortunately we haven’t got that,our players have so much respect for big teams that’s why we can’t beat Argentina in 5 meetings at the world cup we lost all not even 1 a draw pathetic!
These new boys aren’t tough….We need gritty players who would play like they are ready to die on the pitch. The commitment Ghanaians have shown on the pitch is highly commendable. This is not the team that exited the Afcon at the group stage or the one that drew 1-1 in Abuja……They improved in a short period of time. Players like Dennis do not need to be in our national team……Imagine he did that nonsense in a world cup game?
Exactly! Nigeria team is so mentally weak against big teams except in Atlanta 96, those great guys. After that era the players that came up are so weak mentally that you will see then laughing after a defeat to big teams. You see them rushing to exchange shirts and laughing. 1994 and 1996 are the best for our football. They have no respect for big teams
Honestly if we are to be realistic with ourselves…..We have no team yet and there are indications Peseiro’s 1 year contract will not be renewed with 6 months left..Back to square one again.
There’s nothing to celebrate here. Tunisia defeated a weakened or reserved French team. They wasted their chances against Australia. Full stop.
They won the battle and lost the war..spirited display
Yeah you want them to play like they needed the game when they already qualified and for your information…Griezman, Dembele, and Mbappe played the last 39 mins or so of the game….So what the hell are you talking about…Even Coleman started….That Weakened side will still wallop the super chickens…..Nigerians are just ridiculous and hate the truth…
Last 30 minutes* I meant
Mr Ridiculous know it all. Seems u are just trying to run away from the main point here. Tunisia did not come to the competition to beat France and exit in the first round, they came to improve on previous appearances. Morocco defeated a full fledged Belgium side and Saudi defeated Argentina same as Japan defeating Germany and US surprising England. If they had done their work against the Socceroos they wouldn’t be on their way home right now. That’s the point I’m making..
