    We had Sadio Mane and Mo Salah - so why couldn't African teams score enough goals at the World Cup?https://bbc.in/2Mw3eb8

        Nobody cheated against African teams. They're just useless as usual. People make too many excuses for their lack of discipline and professionalism. That's why they are out.

        That a team should get eliminated because of yellow cards is ridiculous, that should change, perhaps a playoff

        Because the expectations of both were completely out of proportion to their actual ability & their apparent individual successes are in fact attributable to being involved in a relatively successful if ultimately trophyless system at Liverpool. You’re quite welcome.

        Poor tactics and lack of endurance! Simple. In tournaments like this one, teamwork is key and every game should be played like a final. Take a look at the Senegalese defender who just stood at the post waiting for I don't know what😡😡
