This is what happens when you invest in the continent instead of extracting from it.
@NigeriaSuper
We eliminated France. FRANCE. In a GROUP STAGE. I don't accept reality anymore.
@MoroccoMagic
2022 wasn't a fluke. 2030 is proof. Morocco is a global football power.
@SenegalLion
Mané Jr. is 19 years old and just won the Golden Boot. The next 15 years belong to him.
@EgyptPharaohFC
All four semis. We lose in the semi and it's still the greatest football tournament in history.
Morocco's win triggers the largest investment in African football infrastructure in history. UEFA clubs open 140 new African academies within two years. FIFA restructures World Cup slots permanently, giving CAF 12 places. The phrase 'African football is developing' is retired — it has arrived.
@EuropeIsOver
Eight European coaches left their jobs within a week of the final whistle. The tactical reckoning has arrived.
@FIFAPowerShift
CAF demanded 9 slots and they were right to demand them. History has confirmed it.
@GlobalGameFan
I love football more after this tournament than I ever have in my life.
