@cmacdonnelly @gcdaiko @goru_hamba @MulattoOrfeu2nd North Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina are the teams that knocked them out of contention in 2026 and 2022. Maybe they just weren't good enough.

@gcdaiko @goru_hamba @MulattoOrfeu2nd It's significantly harder to qualify as a European team compared to north American or South American teams

I have 0 evidence but I promise you Qatar, Saudi Arabia, & UAE are 100x match fixing Asian Cups. You canโt with a straight face look at the way Japan or South Korea play at World Cups and think those gulf Arabs are at a similar level

@bright_chagara @garyalsmith @Des_II_Mk @KofiSarpong1 They are slated to host 4 FIFA tournaments in the next 4 years. It's not a guarantee but if Africa comes up, Morocco are top of the list.
English
๐จ BREAK: Morocco FA boss Fouzi Lekjaa says his country will NO LONGER bid to host African competitions.
โThe nation is shifting its complete administrative and infrastructural focus toward global tournaments, including the 2029 Club World Cup and the 2030 FIFA World Cup. ๐ฒ๐ฆ

Gianni Infantino knocked down all the reporting over visa concerns for this World Cup in August 2025: โI think itโs important to clarify this. There is a lot of misconception out there. Everyone will be welcome in Canada, Mexico and the United States for the FIFA World Cup next year.
โThere is a process to go through to get visas and so on. This process will be smoothโฆ
โWe want to unite the world and we will unite the world next year. The world needs occasions of unity, of bringing teams together, of bringing people together, of bringing fans together... So again everyone will be welcome, be positive and you will see it will be a great, great celebration of the greatest FIFA World Cup ever.โ
No, again we are just meant to look the other way and allow this thing we love so much, that we want to enjoy, that we can map our whole lives around, to be used and abused.
Again we are told about unity and inclusion when division, disparity and denial is the reality.
It is a great, great celebration of getting more money whatever it takes, no matter who has to pay the price. The greatest showpiece of allowing - unopposed! - the man who is meant to protect and grow the peopleโs game into playing celebrity, massaging his own ego and that of heads of state.
The biggest, most expensive, least accessible World Cup ever. The thing we love and all the beautiful pieces of it weโve lost.

โHe wants to be a Nigerian Olympianโ
Completely ignoring the fact he already made the Olympic final as a teenager

@lemons1110 @seaningle - You should probably look up Sawe's approach towards doping in the last year. He was obviously capable of a sub 2:01 but had to deal with a tough weather in Berlin.
- The debutant is a 57:30 half marathoner.
TL;DR: Just appreciate greatness.
English
@seaningle Sorry Sean but no chance they are clean. Debut marathon and you run under 2 hours. The winner had a 2 min PB. They are laughing at us all.
English
BBC haven't picked this up yet, but the leading two men are on world record marathon pace according to the London marathon tracker ...

@glblathletichub I had to mute them at a point last year. They move like a stan account sometimes.

@MuhdSaliu3_ Me sef no know o, i didn't hold a watch in training. Our timing for 10km was 20 mins and that 20 mins is late
First runners come back around 8-10 mins
Mid runners like me make 11 - 15 mins
Otondo from 16 - 20 mins and above, but i dey always make timing.... ๐๐๐
English
10km in 50 minutes.
Army Recurits looking at you and laughing ๐๐๐๐

One of the reasons I train hard and run fast in Lagos races is the finite nature of the medals. I finished the 10km in 50 minutes, got my medal early and began to aura fam shirtless. Later heard of a stampede and people having to buy medals. Just train harder, guys.
English
just to come back to this again, this time was posted earlier by the olympic champion in CYCLING.
a top 3 cyclist in the world rides slower than you run?
i really hope you get to understand how silly it sounds.

The average Nigerian can't fathom the following:
Distance
Metres
Feet
Kilometer
Weight
Height
Miles
So, any take you see on this app, just laugh and move on.

@Promythious National record is 29:15 (on track)
Road race will even be slower.
Their fastest runners will be well outside 30 minutes.
English
In fact I will be EXTREMELY SHOCKED if thereโs a SINGLE Nigerian soldier than can run a 10k in less than 30 minutes.
English
@King92912304 @Tolumhhen @hackSultan if the Nigeria no. 3 is your best friend, present this to him and listen to what he has to say. Ask what opportunities are available for an athlete that runs a 3k under 8 minutes. There was a $100k cash prize for a world record last year. You think they wouldn't have gone for it?
English
@statisticalbody @Tolumhhen @hackSultan lol
Nigeria national number 3 is my best friend
Come again with another point
English
World record for 3KM is 7 minutes 17 seconds.
But you know some people running 3.2KM in 6-7 minutes. ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
Maroon_Beret@TrueGritNG
@orderandhonour 3.2 in 11 minutes is late sef Some people do it in 6-7 mins
English
@Kapt_Sima @ItzDayo @yourownkupid Another person missing the point. No marathoner will say they can do this. It's about the initial guy's point. 10k in 20 minutes is being able to run faster than a moving car
English
@ItzDayo @yourownkupid There's no marathoner that can walk 25kilo meters with a ruck and a rifle with 3 hours of sleep and shitty diet..
The military is an extreme sport, people literally die all the time during training, wys?
English
When people open up about unimaginable feats achieved during their military training and you start to compare them with Olympic athletes, I just shake my head and laugh.
The motivation behind a man they're pursuing with swapap is different from the motivation behind a man looking for his daily bread.
English
@oluomoaworiland @ChekhovPynchon @yourownkupid It's not about the strength. It's the timing. The fact that you can run 10km with a heavy load doesn't equate to you being about to run as fast as a moving vehicle (10k in 20 minutes).
English
@ChekhovPynchon @yourownkupid Many of you are dumb,tell them to try running 10/20kms with a full combat load. Boots,rifle, fragmental jacket etc.
