2026 World Cup: ‘I’m very hopeful’ – Troost-Ekong predicts Morocco vs France
Former Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, has said that he is hopeful that Morocco will upset France and further Africa’s historic journey at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Troost-Ekong commended the advancements made by African teams on the international stage, emphasizing Morocco’s extraordinary achievement at the 2022 World Cup, where they became the first African nation to reach the semi-finals.
He asserted that the performances of African teams in the current tournament demonstrate their ability to compete with the world’s elite.
Reflecting on Morocco’s historic campaign four years, Troost-Ekong said, “At the last World Cup, Morocco dismantled those barriers and showcased what is achievable.
“From what we have observed thus far in this tournament, numerous African teams, players, and individual performances have proven that they can stand toe-to-toe with the very best globally.
“I am very hopeful that this could be the World Cup where an African team surpasses Morocco’s achievements. If they reach that level, I hope they can go all the way,” he stated.
Morocco’s remarkable performances have once again positioned them as the leading African contenders in the tournament, and Troost-Ekong believes the Atlas Lions embody the continent’s best chance of making history.
As Morocco gears up for a highly anticipated match against France on Thursday, 9 July, Troost-Ekong feels they will once again bear the hopes of millions of African fans.
“Morocco is undoubtedly the first team that comes to mind,” he remarked.
Troost-Ekong also recognized the contributions of other African nations that made an impression during the tournament, highlighting the performances of Senegal and Ivory Coast prior to their eliminations.
He said, “Senegal and Ivory Coast both performed exceptionally well until their exits, and they were somewhat unfortunate.”

World Cup 2026: ‘Messi became an animal, nobody could catch him’ – Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Former Sweden striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has insisted that Argentina captain Lionel Messi became an animal that nobody could catch.
Ibrahimovic said this while reacting to Argentina’s comeback win against Egypt at the World Cup.
Recall that Argentina came from 2-0 down to beat Egypt 3-2 in the World Cup Round of 16 encounter on Tuesday.
The Pharaohs scored twice through Yasser Ibrahim and Mostafa Zico, before three goals from Messi, Cristian Romero, and Enzo Fernandez gave Argentina the win against the North Africans.
“You can see that he [Messi] wanted it [the win]. You could see when it was 0-2, something changed. He moment, he took the ball, he made some dribble, dribbled two guys and made a cross,” Henry said on Fox Sports.
“He was after something, you could see it, and he is on a mission now. He will not let go, he didn’t want to leave this tournament, then he made the first assist for the first goal, then he scored the second goal, then finally somebody else helped him to get the winner.
“But you can see he switched gear, he became an animal, and nobody could catch him, he just went on. You could see how emotional he is, how much it means to him. Remember, he has already won this World Cup, a lot of trophies, Ballon d’Ors, FIFA player of the year awards, everything.”

There’s some truth to ‘school na scam’ – Actor Jim Iyke
Veteran Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has said there’s some truth to the controversial claim that Western education is a “scam.”
Speaking in a recent interview with media personality Joey Akan, Iyke argued that many former students including himself, are now doing far better than their tutors.
He added that many successful and wealthy people in society don’t have formal education or not well academically accomplished.
He said the true path to success is what people learned from their parents or mentors’ experiences, and survival and economic skills.
Iyke said, “There is some truth to ‘school na scam’. I am doing better than all my lecturers. I once met one of my lecturer, who is now late, on a plane and we both knew who was doing better. If had taken everything him taught me verbatim and applied it in my pursuit, I wouldn’t have been successful.
“I will tell you what worked. It is what the uncles, the traders who barely went to school, told me. They told me go left at all time and never right. The father who told me to forget theories and know when to be ruthless, conform or stand my grounds and what books to read.
“Some of the wealthiest men in the world did not get it from classroom. How many of them have PhD? I have a PhD holder who works for me. We can argue all we want but school is partly scam.”
