@lindo_xvii added:
"They could still qualify… the only boring part about this WC nonsense is that only 5 squads from Africa can qualify in the end… So, at some point, we’d have to go and beat the likes of Algeria/ Senegal/ Egypt."
@tikaluzakwe offered:
"They've been dominant the entire 90 minutes, It would've been hurtful if they did not win."
@raheem12zee noted:
"Even if they qualify, SAs will still support abo France and Belgium."
