        Naija and Senegal were profligately wasteful. Both squandered scoring chances in their 3rd games that could have helped them qualify.

        No African players legs were tied. Nigeria was awarded a crucial penalty in a crucial game Argentina. Stop being racist and feeling inferior.

        Nothing really. I think Africa has reached a point in time that we need to rethink our involvement in this #WorldCup think of it. I didn't see a black centre field referee. Why are blacks playing for Western countries instead of their home countries? Sic. Then the VAR!

        Maybe a proof of unfair qualification of the teams involved #fairplay

        Africa was represented by 3 arab countries, and 2 west africa nations, i think from the investigative piece from Ghana, the problem starts during qualifiers, strong but poor teams cant quality no matter how hard they play.... My. Take though
