AFRICA TEAMS ARE IMPROVING: MOROCCO CAN BREAK THE GENE TO QUALIFY TO KNOCKOUT STAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME

source
Hello football lovers, how are you today? Hope you are enjoying the world cup? Watching Germany yesterday is like they have nothing to offer in this World Cup. Germany is one of the countries that have a high percentage of winning the world cup because of the caliber of players they have.
In the past World Cup, there were few countries we surely know that will qualify to the knockout stage because of the quality of football they played. Today, there is a close gap between those countries and other countries we know don't go beyond the group stage.
In the 2018 World Cup, no African country qualified to round of 16, and all the four Africa countries did not reach the knockout stage. This was because African countries still have a lot to learn when it comes to football.

MOROCCO PLAYERS PLAYED WITH INTENSITY

I was surprised yesterday when I saw how Morocco played against Belgium yesterday. I could not imagine that Morocco could play like that; I was sure that Belgium would win yesterday. Belgium is the third FIFA world ranking, and Morocco is in the 22nd in the FIFA ranking: when it comes to football, there is nowhere Morocco could be compared to Belgium in players.
I had already placed direct winning to Belgium in the @hivebuzz contest, and I was confident that Belgium would win the match. After 90 minutes, I was wrong in my prediction.

I was very happy during the match because I saw how Moroccan players were playing with intensity. For me, they are the best team in Africa, they played quality football, they played with confidence, some of those players are very skillful. I believe the team can go far in the Africa Cup of Nations.
If Morocco beat Canada in the last Group stage, they will qualify to knockout stage: this will be Morocco first time of qualifying to knockout stage.
According to the history of World Cup, Morocco have never qualified to knockout stage, winning Canada will break that gene.
The only Africa country that qualified to quarter final was Ghana.

GHANA CRAWL TO SECOND POSITION IN GROUP H

Ghana prepared better than South Korea, this was the reason Ghana led 2-0 in the 57 minutes of the match. Within the range of 4 minutes, Cho Gue-Sung equalized and the score was 2-2. Cho Gue-sung was an incredible player in the match, he scored two goals in 4 minutes.
Ghana came with determination and they got what they wanted. One of the problems that Korean players had was that they wasted chances in the match; they would have scored in the first half. They had more chances in the first 45 minutes but did not utilize the chances. I loved the way Korean players were touching and passing, it was incredible. Korean persistence and domination for the last 20 minutes was so good. My thought was that the Korean would equalize again just like they equalized the first 2 goals.
Kudus may score the last goal but Tariq Lamptey was the man of the match, he defended and attacked well in the match; running the left flank and making some interceptions.

CAMEROON MADE IT TIE WITH SERBIA: CAN THEY QUALIFY TO KNOCKOUT STAGE?

In football, anything can happen. I have watched matches where the ugly one won the matches. Cameroon will play their last group stage match against Brazil; The first in the FIFA ranking. Which simply means they have 9% probability in the match. There is no way Cameroon can be compared to Brazil in Football.
They should have tried to win this match against Serbia, it would have very easy for them to qualified to knockout stage.
The road to qualify to knockout stage is very slim right now because it will be hard for them to defeat Brazil.

TUNISIA WITH NO HOPE
source
Tunisia was defeated by Australia in the second match. The hope of Tunisia to qualify is very slim right now. Assuming they in the match against Australia, they would have gotten hope of qualifying to knockout stage.
When I was watching the match, I knew that Tunisia lacked intensity, speed and co-ordination. The attacking line is not sharp and they easily lose possession to the opponent.
Tunisia will play their last match against France, and Australia will play against Denmark. They only way Tunisia can qualify is to win France with big margin like 5-0 and Denmark win Australia 1-0, or the match ends goalless.
I believe Tunisia cannot win against France even if France uses their second team.
In conclusion, Tunisia is out of this tournament; not good to underestimate any team but the way I looked at Tunisia team in this tournament, there is no way they can be compared with France.

There is hope that three Africa countries can qualify to knockout stage if they win their matches. This simply means that Africa countries are improving in term of football. More years to come, one of the countries in Africa can be among 1st-3rd FIFA ranking, and can qualify to World Cup final.

I stand up for success, and success is not achieved by merely making mouth, No room for laziness, no room for idleness.

Wow. You really capture everything about the Africa teams in this ongoing Worldcup tournament. I love your analysis because it's factual. Morrocans are making us proud but still need to work harder and never underestimate the Canadians. Ghana is very determinated and should do more too. Tunisia should come back in peace. But, in your next good post like this, talk about Senegal too. Thanks
