Will you watch it?
these types of games are good for kino, soul, and shitposting purposes. so yes i'll probably watch it. i'll see you all in the match thread.
>>154882053>2 mystery teams making their debutsYes exactly the kind of kino I want to see but what ungodly hour is it on? That's what will stop me from watching.
>>154882053Yes
>>154883058Uzbekistan did play 7 World Cups as part od USSRCongo DR did play in 1974 as Zaire
>>154883112oh yeswonder if they will do the funny free kick thing again>>154883092>ebola is robbing us of this
>>154883058>2 mystery teamsyou fucking casual. DRC has since 2023 become the ultimate wildcard of Africa:>4th at the 2023 AFCON, kicking Egypt in the process and conceding a fluke goal to the eventual champion, Côte d'Ivoire>Almost qualified directly, but shat the bed at the last minute to Sénégal 3-2 during WC qualifyers>BTFO Cameroon>BTFO Nigéria>Was mopping the floor with Sénégal in 2025 AFCON group stages, but eventually conceded yet another meme goal to draw>conceded a fluke 119' meme goal to Algeria in R16 after getting two var sinson disallowed goals>exited JamaicaRight now, the only problem with this team, is to control the game fully due to lack of Experience in clutch games, they're /weakmined/. But by 2027 they'll become one of the biggest favorite to win the next AFCON, because they'll snatch a whole bunch of 18-21 Belgian binationals, and the team has already talented players who'll grow in experience in that world cup.And they have the top 3 if not strongest, overall Backline of Africa. There's a reason why in less than 2 years they went from 80ish to 46th in FIFA rankings.
>>154883227sorry i don't watch fucking afcon pal
>>154883112>Uzbekistan did play 7 World Cups as part od USSR>Congo DR did play in 1974 as Zaireshit mayne history is crazy n shiet
>>154883255yea we know retard, this is why you get surprised afterward after losing to your Croatias and Icelands thinking you're "superior" to them, and "didn't watch them". Typical britoid subhuman faggot. Stick to cricket.
>>154883293calm down sorry i offended your people
i will support our congolese brothers
Yes.
>>154883227-t. jean pierre mangwigungu kolobasie
>>15488305800:30 British time
>>154882053>these absolute shitters qualified and italy didn't
>>154883227>snatch a whole bunch of 18-21 Belgian binationalsThey're called LGBTIQA+nationals now. Thought you guys mostly poached frenchies. Much larger group of diaspora living in France. Plus better ones. Great ones like Makalele. Most Congolese-Belgians I know are extremely wealthy and have no interest in pursuing a career in football. Sports are looked down upon and you get pushed towards academics. Even Kompany's fav teacher told him to focus on his studies instead of football. The poorer migrants are more recent and often come from France, like the Mangala bros.
>>154883227>tp>tfTell me you're not french without saying it
>>154883508Wasn't Kompany's dad a deputy at the Belgian Parliament or some shit?>Much larger group of diaspora living in France. wrong, blacks in France (asides from antillais) are mostly west-african (senegal, mali and some shit) doctors are surprisingly few in France, Belgium actually has much bigger diaspora.>Plus better ones.debatable. Yes Mayulu is currently seen as the best footballer under 21 of congolese blood, and he's french so far, and you got guys like Kalimuendo as well, but Belgium is still the standard when it comes to binationals (Lavia, Mokio (that joined recently), Nathan Ngoy that Belgium finally called up etc...But either way, these day i consider DRC's NT as a "Echo fighter" of the Belgium NT on some Luigi-Waluigi bullshit, especially when its current core you got Flemish sounding names like "Stroeykens" in a fucking congolese NT, even some Quadroon/White passing dude being the literal U21 GK of the congolese NT, things that would have never happened 10-20 years ago, if not, the blacks are mostly steming from Belgian academies/born in Belgium and whatnot, and in belgium still congolese players on it. That's pretty much the same NT, but with different badges and confederations. Mutual win-win
>>154882053Dr. Congo I'm CIS
>>154882053Thanks doc
>>154883901Kompany's dad used to be a taxi driver and car mechanic teacher. His mother was a union rep I think. On the back of his son's fame he did get elected to the Brussels parliament and later federal. Also mayor of a small town in the Brussels region. Always thought France had higher numbers of Congolese diaspora. Plenty made it into the French squad. Current DRC squad also has more frenchies. Especially with Bushiri out. Fair amount of bongs and swiss too.>StroeykensThat's such an old-timey name. Either son of a Frankish warrior or, in most cases, son of a straw/hay binder or thatcher. So Mario Thatcherson.
>>154882053I will consoom every single second of this world cup with my frens on spee
>>154882053of fucking course.
>>154883092More like DD Congo
"your prognosis is not good. it looks like you have Hypokalemia. I'm prescribing you more bananas in the meantime."
>>154883255You should. It's soulful and hilarious.>>154884342This joke is literally too clever to be funny. You're a genius for thinking of it, but I just can't bring myself to laugh.
>>154884810My cable provider announced they acquired all 104 matches. I'll be there.
>>154883255You should it's soul, I want to attend an afcon match of some subsaharan country one day
>>154882053fucking yesthis is what the world cup is about
>>154883293wtf i hate dr congo nowcome on uzbekistan
Zaire was a much better name.
won't be watching a single minute of a single game until i get word that the refs are actually enforcing the rules
>>154888899Is there a reason why, now that they're no longer colonies of other countries, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo don't just merge?
>>154884342kek
>>154890998For the same reason France & Germany don't merge: Different cultures.Congolese entire culture is entirely based on Larping as French, with many cities, places and even names spelled the French way or sounding FrenchDR Congo on the other hand, has gone under Mobutu's reign fully identitarian and erased anything sounding french or belgian, whether the places, cities and family names, and only kept French as an international languageIf back in the days Mobutu was considered a centrist or "non aligned" during the cold war, today he would definitely be considered by european political mechanics and standards be seen as Facist/Far right leader, on some Salazar/Franco tier, because he flat out was all powered, had death squads and at his prime killed or jailed anyone being anti-zaire or his oppositionAlso, Angola (at least the north and north-eastern part of it + Cabinda enclave) unironically shares more similarities with DR Congo than Congo.
>>154891311Thank you. I was reading about them both on Wikipedia, and apparently the Republic of Congo is actually an okay country, and it's only Dr C that's a horrible shithole.
>>154883227you are going back home mbembe
Tell me. If theres more and more ngubii playing for european NTs, does that mean some african NTs will import european white guys too? I will sleep peacefully knowing us white men are colonizing brown and black women as well
>>154893099it's funny when things like that happen
>>154883227>>154883293based football watcher
>>154882053i will watch it with my /sp/ friends
>>154882053no what a garbage group stage fuck all you globo homo infantino enablers
>>154883112Dumb fucking pidor, you may lick my ass and taint you bitch
>>154882053Of course I will. Miles better than the CL final I expect.
>>154883497>Calling anyone shitters and then moping about Shitaly not qualifyingCome on man, they lost out to us. And hard. They looked absolutely atrocious.
Africans should stop allowing smart people to move to Europe. Brain drain hurts them more.
>>154895480Africa is sending the smart ones to Europe?
>>154886555our 18,36€ tax funded tv channels only show 60 games xDfor the rest we have to pay a provider which got all the rights
>>154893099>ngubiiKek, coin'd.
>>154882053These are usually the matches that end up being absolute slobberknockers. Go watch Serbia and Cameroon and Ghana vs South Korea at the last World Cup for example.
For the Turkic bros, yes
>>154883486kek
>>154883293Croatia and Iceland are in AFCON???
For me it's Bafana Bafana
>>154895752Some of them, there are high IQ african communities in Belgium and shit. Even a decent amount of Nigerian doctors.They are not bad people it's just that it hurts their continent.
>>154883227>tf
>>154890998The DRC is already having a hard time keeping itself together with large parts of its territory basically being under militia or separatist rule. Making it larger is the very last thing it needs.
>>154903603Orlando Pirates bros... It's going to be OUR trophy
>>154882053Sovl
>>154895752not exclusively but brain drain is that much of an issue in the turd world. generally speaking they don't retain their best doctors, which is a total loss of their investment in their medical training.
>>154882053I will!… Occasionally check the thread to see what’s happening
>>154903603is this some turkye/bharat shit?
