‼️Did you know that DRC's second-choice goalkeeper Timothy Fayulu, who was subbed in on 120 minutes, told Coach Sébastien Desabre that he has a dream that the match between Nigeria and DR Congo 🇨🇩 would go to penalties, and that in the dream he knew exactly where Nigeria would shoot!

Timothy Fayulu saved two penalties… and Congo snatched the playoff spot.

‼️𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗧𝗢𝗥 𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗠𝗛𝗘𝗡: "I grew up very poor. We would search through the trash for shoes. I grew up playing football with different brands of shoes on my right and left feet. Football was my family's only escape from poverty."

‼️Super Eagles coach, Éric Sékou Chelle, couldn't contain his anger after he saw someone from the DR Congo team using voodoo (juju) during the penalty shootouts.

Éric picked up a water bottle, aiming at a member of the DR Congo technical team, and he was stopped by DRC coach Sebastien Desabre. That’s why he reacted the way he did.

Now that Nigeria is out of the world cup, I can support Portugal with my full chest

I've been a Portuguese fan all my life😌

Portugal coach Martinez: "Now we can dream of the World Cup."

Look at this picture, please.

Ireland was eliminated last week. They beat Portugal with two goals from Troy Parrott.

And today they were losing 2-1 and won in the last second against Hungary. All three goals from Troy Parrott. Ireland goes to the playoffs.

It's absolutely insane. Football ❤️

‼️𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗢 𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗜: "Sometimes in training, I used to tell Courtois to deliberately let the strikers score to boost their confidence." 😬

Brazil ends Senegal's unbeaten streak (33 consecutive matches) that was just four games away from equaling Italy's WORLD RECORD.

That will no longer be possible. It was also coach Pape Thiaw's first defeat as national team coach.

The current best unbeaten streak belongs to Spain (24 consecutive matches, not counting today's).

🚨BREAK: Chelsea are close to announcing a new front-of-shirt sponsor. The Oracle deal is reportedly tied to broader investments by Clearlake Capital. The deal is expected to last until the end of the current season. Oracle will pay significantly less than the club initially expected.

Two of Portugal’s attackers play in the Saudi league, which is said to be a less competitive league. Do you think that affected the match?

Roberto Martinez: “Well, in these qualifiers Joao Felix scored two goals, and Joao Cancelo scored two goals.

And Cristiano Ronaldo, since joining the Saudi league, has scored 25 goals in 29 matches for Portugal.”

‼️𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗧𝗢𝗥 𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗠𝗛𝗘𝗡 on his misses against Gabon: "When I missed that kind of opportunity, I was asking my teammate if we go directly to the, you know, to the penalty or if we... we have extra time, and they told me there's extra time.

And I told them, 'I'm so sorry; I'm going to correct it. I don’t focus on how many goals I score; I just want to help my team. If I’m not scoring, I’m assisting," told SportyFM.
