Eze and Olise so fun to watch. Beating people 1v1, can draw double team and create space for others. We'd be winning 5-0 right now if we had them.
Meanwhile, Havertz and Mount when they have the ball:
Got rid of Mount & Havertz for a combined 125m and are about to sign Olise for 35m.
This is what dreams are made of.

The official Draw of the FIFA World Cup 2026™African Preliminaries Qualifiers will be conducted on Thursday, 13 July in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire.www.cafonline.com
This new WCQ format is very good from CAF. Simple and straight forward. Gotta give them their kudos for this one.
54 member nations for 9 groups of 6. 10 games played and winner of each group goes to the WC.
The top 4 group runner-ups enter playoffs for the 1 intercontinental WC playoff spot allocated to CAF.
Jul 13th is the draw for WCQ groups. Starts at 3PM GMT/11am EST and can be watched on CAF online.
Not too many surprises in terms of seeding although Burkina Faso will definitely be the team everyone in Pot 1 wants to avoid.
At least no BS Cameroon vs CIV in the group stages like in the 2022 WCQ

It's still crazy, because you basically have to win one big group, they should have had done best 8 runner ups to the playoffs.
Look at how much more forgiving Asia's qualifying is for their 8 spots.
