Which African team impressed you in the World Cup?

[Henrywrites]

African teams that went to the FIFA World Cup got there with lots of hopes. When it comes to the one nation that did well for me, I will say the Terranga Lions of Senegal even though they lost last night against England. Do you have a pick?

Senegal were very good during the tournament and deserve credit. I thought were very good last night against them though.

 

[Heatman]

None of them. All of them were just trash to me.

Did you watch all of their games before saying this or was it all about the results?

All the one's that I watched, I wasn't impressed except for Ghana vs Portugal.

Think they were all impressive to be honest especially as underdogs they put on some good performances against the top teams. Senegal had some decent chances against England within the opening minutes but was made to look easy by the end of the match for England.

You're right about that. England was way too strong for them.

Look at what Portugal did to Switzerland yesterday even though they are not African team. It was way too easy like it's not a R-16.

Morocco made Africa proud against so many big teams.

If not for anything, I'm happy they eliminated Spain.

You hated Spain that much too? They are a decent team.

I see Spain like Barcelona. I hated them for what they have done to Manchester United in UCL.

They just didn't take their chances against France and that is something that I am always angry about.

They were too defensive. It cost them the match!

That is the pattern that got them to that stage. I still think they should have taken their chances.

Exactly! When they have nothing left to lose. They should have changed their tactics which would even confuse their opposition.

It is always difficult to change a winning tactics. The only manager that has been capable to do so is Jose Mourinho especially at the finals.

It's not difficult to change tactics in my opinion. It's just that some coaches are too stubborn to change or listen to others including their assistants.

It is difficult to change humans behavior and changing tactics means making these players play in a different way, which is not easy.

I think that it's what they do in training every day even before the match day. It shouldn't be that difficult for the players to adjust.

Tactics are not that easy to get in the minds of the players. Only exceptional players can try to change things.
