Never thought that was the reason but you’re right. Just noticed every game seems to have had that!

Has Africa caught up with Europe footballwise?

Not so fast!

I won’t cope if this goes to extra time!

Me neither 😩

They don’t need to catch up! African teams
are fantastic- this isn’t 1990 and Cameroon.

They’re certainly not far off are they?

Fuck!!!!

I’m sure it was said that so far this is the most successful World Cup the African countries have ever had

Equaliser!

Allez La Belgique

Extra time beckons 🤦🏽‍♀️

I was hoping to get a couple of hours sleep before the USA game

I love it - my dad used to say that football was Europe, Africa and South America!

Oh no

What a fucking come back !!!

It’s great. Nobody wants a sport to be dominated by the same few countries

Exactly! Gutted for Senegal, they deserved a win. I
am on strong painkillers and won’t last extra time/penalties.

Rude!

I'm supposed to be asleep.
Now I've got stay up and keep an eye on this thread for updates 😅

Come on Senegal!!!!🇸🇳

I didn't expect this to go to ET

I know - 100% thought Senegal would win in normal time. Taken a really strong painkillers so bed for me. When I wake on the night will be checking the score. Wish I waited an hour to take it now!

Come on Senegal 🇸🇳

Lukaku An amazing lump of a man

Have a little ... patience.
