  • World Cup opener against Japan

    Eden Hazard criticizes Germany for their World Cup protest, saying, “We’re here to play football.”

    Before their World Cup opener against Japan, Germany protested by covering their mouths with their hands, according to Belgium captain Eden Hazard. Threats of sanctions caused the four-time champions to decide against donning the “OneLove” armband, and the players reacted by covering their mouths in the team photo before the game. The Samurai Blue of Japan will ultimately defeat the Germans 2-1 in the match. In light of Qatar’s anti-homosexuality laws, other nations like England, Wales, and the Netherlands were also planning to wear the armband to show support for the LGBTQ+ community, but they also decided against it. Hazard poked fun at the Germans and emphasized their defeat. “They would have done better not to do it and to win,” he said.…

    2022 W/Cup: African Teams Have Yet To Score Or Win A Match After Four Games

    At the current World Cup in Qatar, none of Africa’s teams have a goal or even a victory after four games. The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon lost 1- 0 to Switzerland on Thursday in a Group G match, becoming the latest African team to leave the international soccer extravaganza. Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, Cameroon, and Ghana are the five teams representing the continent in Qatar.  Only the Black Stars of Ghana have yet to play a game in the Middle Eastern county. Even though all African countries are now being led by homegrown head coaches, the continent’s efforts to advance past the competition’s quarterfinal ceiling have not yet yielded favorable results. The Netherlands defeated Senegal, the first African team to compete in Qatar, in a Group A matchup. Tunisia then drew a barren match with Denmark in Group D. In Group F, Morocco kept Croatia scoreless once more. African teams have given up three goals overall, and fans across the continent anticipate Ghana to give Africa its first victory when they face Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal later in Group H play. Fans worry that the recent results may be an indication of how the continent will perform at the upcoming World Cup. Nigeria, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, and Senegal, Africa’s quintet, failed to advance past the group stage four years ago.  With four points, only the Teranga Lions came close to advancing past the round of 16.  However, they fell short of Japan in terms of discipline after receiving more yellow cards than the Blue Samurai. Since the start of the competition, no African team has advanced to the semifinals.  Only three countries—Cameroon, Ghana, and Senegal—have advanced further in the World Cup, reaching the round of eight. In the 1990 edition, Cameroon accomplished that feat, and Senegal did so in spectacular style by defeating the reigning champions France in their first match and moving on to the quarterfinals of the 2002 competition. When they did so in South Africa twelve years ago, Ghana’s Black Stars became the most recent country from Africa to reach that mark. For…
