The past week has seen action from the world of international football. Being the international break, countries have been going head-to-head since Thursday for different reasons.
While the international games will continue well into the coming week, here are some of the things you probably missed out on in the first round of international games.

Ronaldo is still the man
For all that can be said in favor of downplaying friendlies, it’s still a football game whose results will count at the end of the day. This must have been the thoughts in Cristiano Ronaldo’s head when he led Portugal’s comeback against Egypt after they had conceded the first goal of the game via Salah’s boots.

Moses dive or not?
Nigeria (ranked 52nd on the FIFA rankings) visited 6th ranked Poland and got an important victory. It wasn’t the most exciting game we’ve seen in recent times but it was good to see both teams try to outrun and outscore each other.

Victor Moses was the centre of attraction when he went down in the Polish 18-yard area and a penalty was awarded. Of course he stepped up and took the spot-kick and scored. And that’s how we won the game.
Nigeria may have won the game but there are now serious question marks over Victor Moses’ diving skills which is gradually becoming stuff of legend.

The French Suicide Squad
“Suicide squad” in this context means a set of football players bent on taking their fans for a deadly ride. That’s what the French national team did when they faced Colombia yesterday.
Do you think there can be Over 2,5 Goals in this game?

After going two goals up against Colombia, the French squad shifted gears, let their opponents score three goals and they lost the game. For a country being touted as one of the contenders for this year’s World Cup, sounds like there’s still a lot that need to be done.

Shared Spoils
When Germany and Spain faced each other, a cracker was expected and we got one. Was a good game of football that saw both teams score in the game (like we predicted yesterday). But it ended in a draw as both teams could not get the better of each other.
The last time these two sides met in the World Cup, it ended with Germany scoring 7 goals.
Do you think something like that will happen again in this game?
