How much does CAF ruined me? I am re-watching the Morocco sequence that led to PK and making sure no Cameroonian players left the pitch you know just in case a decision DOESNT get switched in three months.

I for one would love the chaotic final group day in group C where Zambia must defeat Malawi or risk not moving on the WAFCON quarterfinals. Now that only works if Nigeria defeats Zambia later today…so Go team chaos

Again teams can loose, but it’s how they are looking that has me more surprised then anything. Also shout out to the Ivorians. They were given a second life, and they’re taking full advantage of it

Algeria 4141+staying tight on Morocco pivots and wow no shots r happening. They do well cutting pitch in half when they press too Adjabi comes across and bam. Sometimes a midfielder can step up next to her and they can go 442, sometimes drop and 4231 it’s a decent enough approach.

With both South Africa and Nigeria, losing their first games not only makes their pathways difficult, but now might make the quarterfinal WAFCON games juicier. Also, whoever had Malawi and Tanzania as possible quarterfinalist after match day two, slide into my DMS I have some financials to discuss

I had a creator on the channel Talking about how he was concerned about Nigeria and their preparation. Don’t get me wrong, Malawi have made the game difficult for the Super Falcons, but Nigeria look like a team not on the same page. #wafcon2026

It’s not as if South Africa have been poor. They just been very wasteful in front of the net and Tanzania have been much more clinical with their opportunities hence why we’re headed towards a Tanzania win at the moment…
