Just look at Saudi Arabia
Your peers are here to play football, these sand cacs just came here to watch porn and spoil bet slips

Went for BTTS, now I've lost money

With the corruption issues going on right now. I'm actually glad they didn't qualify. This is for the best to reshuffle the whole organization for the next cup.

African football is a mess right now.

Who is coming down the pipeline? Any new talent?

Do they have European nationality? Yes.

Are they Belgian, French and English nationals? Yes.

Is Belgium, France and The UK part of the European Union? Yes.

Does that make them European? Yes.

Ghana looked terrible in qualifying they didn’t deserve to make it at all.

What’s messed up is how the biggest continent in the world (Africa) is only given 4 slots whilst Europeans get lord knows how many. It is due to the level of quality amongst African nations but at least extend it to 5 or 6. Hopefully when they increase the amount of teams in the WC in a few years there’ll be more African nations in there

A lot of schadenfraude on social media about the quality of World Cup teams, from fans of a team eliminated by Trinidad and Tobago’s B team ( with nothing to play for)
