African teams are not like Albania, Belarus, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Malta, Romania, Liechtenstein that will allow Ronaldo to score 5 goals in a macth.

They are taking it serious, listen everyone wants to win no one cares about entertainment right now, see how Algeria were kicking long balls in the dying minutes, thatโs because they want to win.

And your right, Sierra Leone, Burundi, Zimbabwe (African underdogs) will defend much much better than those Luxembourg, Belarus etc

they play football like it's a fixed match,7 games 8 goals......that's just too poor
Thatโs because itโs the first group day matches and everyone wants to win, thereโs a lot of pressure on the teams because one lose and you could already be in big trouble. You will definitely see an increase in quality once the tournament advances. We all know how important the first games in every tournament are, just be patient. ๐
