    Messi = GOAT.

    This is Messi’s year.

    Argentina and Croatia to advance.

    Argies top. Tough to see who gets 2nd, Nigeria are a pretty decent side tho you'd imagine Croatia should have the quality.

    On this evidence....I take it back..

    Why do African countries produce quality player's but look so clumsy and tactically abysmal as units?

    They beat Argentina in a friendly recently and have good player's..

    I don't know if they've any missing here but they look so poor it's untrue..

    That Iwobo is 1 of the most hyped up garbage wingers about. Never ever seen him have a good game. If he's a guaranteed starter, they can forget it..

    Aye, there is that..

    Big Nigerian contingent at the game and in London/England in general, so thought they might've wanted to put on a show.....especially against EPL player's where many play and have played..

    Always been the same, a really peculiar trait of African sides. Even when the likes of Ghana had Essien and Appiah in central midfield they were still for all intents and purposes a big athletic group of carthorses. Defend with their lives, quick and powerful. Verging on being casually racist but it’s the truth.

    It is true. You can notice it clear as day in the African cup of nation's, albeit on some utterly woeful pitches. Maybe a lack of top class manager's..

    With some of the player's that continent has produced, there's no doubt they've underperformed in world cups though..

    Iceland will go through, I'm pretty sure of that at least. Nigeria need to do well vs. Croatia in order to keep morale good.

    If Suarez hadn't have punched the ball off the line in 2010, Ghana would have been into the Semis to play the Dutch. Don't think they'd have beaten Spain in the Final that year-nobody had figured out how to beat them at that point- but could have seen them putting out the Dutch and being the first African finalists.

    They beat Serbia 1 nil in their first game and it was the only match they won in 90 minutes the entire Tournament. They didn't even score a goal from open play in the Groups.

    They were lucky to even be in the last 16 never mind talking about being Finalists.

    Just like Portugal winning the Euros with only the 1 win. Dead unlucky not to be in the Semis, cheated out of it really.

    Agreed, Ronaldo fluked his way to the Euros.
