        I am rooting for France. The French team is more African than Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco.

        The allocation of teams to Africa compared to Europe and South America is the fundamental problem. How is it fair that Africa a continent of 54 countries is allocated only 5 countries against 14 from Europe? Africa should boycott the World Cup until the allocation is fair

        I liked Argentina until I found out they killed all the black slaves they had and racism is rampant over there. Ever wondered why there is no black player on that team like most Latin American teams? Now I will be rooting for the Ethiopian ref. He's the only true Afrikan left..

        Everything was wrong for African teams in this tournament, from very biased media coverage, to hateful commentators, terrible headlines, partial referees to mention a few....... @FIFAcom needs to correct these abnormalities and be fair to all teams participating 👌🏼

        Well, African teams are technically and tactically inept. When they play among their European counterparts they step up their tactical and technical discipline but when they play among their African players.... then Yu see their footballing sense flaws and you wonder why.
