Aside yaya toure, how many African players are playing top football. How many African players are in the first eleven of top football clubs? Real Madrid zero. Chelsea zero ( Mikel is a squad player, moses so bad they loaned him out), even arsenal that likes to buy cheap players don't have an African in their first eleven. Barcelona too, burussia Dortmund have only aubameyang, Bayern Munich have none (pls don't tell me alaba because he is not African anymore), Manchester united have non, Liverpool have none, PSG , atletico Madrid all have no Africans on their first eleven. So where are the talents?

thegoodjoehunt: If Africa was irrelevant, they would have not increased ours and increased the Asians. Asians still have Three slots, why we have Five. More of the slots would have been given to more European teams.

It will be a joke if you feel the merchandise sold by Adidas is only worn on the pitch. Please Adidas has a large African market. They market their goods in Africa.

omar22: Oh cry me a river....

Africa should Boycott this and that like they will miss us.... European have been crying for more places.. African voluntary given up 5 spots will be like manna from Heaven to Some other countries.

People shout racism as if Matuidi and Neymar were white, or Brazil is a white nation

omar22:

The continent of Africa has 52 countries and to have 3 slots out of 32 sounds totally unfair and Sepp Blatter doesn't need Europe to win the next 5 elections because he will get his votes from the Latin world, Asia and Africa, these were Mr Blatters promises when campaigning to become the FIFA president when Joao Havalenge retired. Its got nothing to do the African Market, How many replica shirt is sold in Africa? not many, actually low. ADIDAS makes more money from the Springbok (South African Cricket team) than football in Africa, The Jabulani was a huge flop

Rossikki:

You have zero common sense. Matuidi represents FRANCE - a white, European nation, and it is FRANCE that has its interests being promoted by a dishonest/corrupt FIFA. It is not the individual players' skin colour that matters. Surely you must know this or are you really that dumb and stupi.d??

thegoodjoehunt: Asamoah Kwadwo - Juventus, Gervinho - AS Roma, Adel Taarabt - AC Milan, Ferghouli - Valencia, Ahmed Musa - CSKA Moscow. There are many more. So stop saying no talents in Africa. It is a lie.

Thank u very much my brother. We must first solve our own problems and play at top level. After we do that we can then start tackling FIFA if we think we are being cheated.

tuffgongjo: Hope d op won't come out attacking me cus it seems to be his hobby,I think boycotting the world cup will be more of disadvantage than advantage,that matuidi's tackle is what we see everyday(not saying it is a good 1),fifa will always be bias,politics is everywhere,but instead of whining I think what @abatically said should be done,let africa step up her game,act civilized not like Song$co @ d world cup,if we can get our game up nothing will stop us,like d 1996$2000 olympics

omar22:

You sound like someone who sold his car for fuel money. "If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest person alive" but "With your IQ, I don't think you would understand"

abatically:

Africa has 5 slots, not 3.

Rossikki:

What does a motorpark tout like you know about IQ? So stupi.d you think Matuidi's colour comes into play when he's representing France? DUMB AND DUMBER. If what I explained makes no sense to you, it just goes to show how iredeemably dumb and stup.id you are, with rocks where your brain ought to be.

thegoodjoehunt: If the other continents are not needed, why give more slots? It is because they are needed and help promote a global brand and image of the competition.

omar22:

Dumbo, ranting wont change the fact that you sound like an abandoned project. Answer this question, As an outsider what do you think of the human race?

omar22:

I know, it was increased to 5 when they increased the numbers from from 24 to 32

DUMBO, FACE THE TOPIC DIRECTLY. HOW DOES MATUIDI'S SKIN COLOUR MEAN NIGERIA WAS NOT CHEATED IF FRANCE ITSELF IS A WHITE EUROPEAN COUNTRY WHICH HE WAS REPRESENTING? BRAIN-DEAD, STUPI.D DUNCE!!! OLODO RABATA.

Ha ha ha, I said first 11 in top teams. In a continent where Mikel obi is the runners up of African player of the year says a lot.

tuffgongjo: d slot was increase by sepp so that africa can support him ambitions(re-election)

tuffgongjo: I wasn't increase when d WC was expanded to 32 cus africa had just 3nations in d 98 WC(that was when 32 was first used).

tuffgongjo: actually there are talents in africa,but europeans will always favor theirs over us especially in germany where they are promoting their feeders team or second team players,man u is a team that doesn't sign africans(afcon is d excuse),this is where d economic power of africa comes in,if there was no war,poverty,hunger etc u won't see most of those guys in europe,I mean their parents won't have migrated.

abatically:

Yes that's right. People talking about more slots for Africa, I don't know if they realized 3 out of 5 countries for 2014 world cup had pay scandals. Now increase the slots to say 10, that means more pay scandals.... Bad image for the world cup. Let's sort ourselves out first before asking for more slots.

omar22:

Dumbo, ranting wont change the fact that you sound like an abandoned project.

thegoodjoehunt: I guess due to the violent conduct of Zuniga and Suarez, both South Americans. The number of South American teams should be reduced. Please.

Rossikki:

DUMBO, TYPING 'abandoned project' DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT YOU ARE A RETAR.DED PEABRAIN WITH THE REASONING FACULTIES OF A MOSQUITO.

If a player is really good, trust me a top team will sign him irrespective of his race. George weah was named Fifa player of the year in 1995. Etoo, kanoute, KANU nwankwo, etc were all playing for top teams. It looks like Africa are producing less talents compared to the past.

If u think Europeans will always favor their players, what about the afcon nations cup. Can u compare the quality of football played with what we see in European or south american tournaments? Is it not the kick and follow football, long range shots with nothing to write home about in the technical aspect.

thegoodjoehunt: Muntari was a Super talent but he was denied a work permit. Same with Yaya You're. So it is not the way you see it.

Sir Alex Ferguson collected the money he paid for Adem Ljajic back. Dispute him being one of the upcoming best player in the world because of Darren Gibson. A crap talent. Imagine Adem Ljajic is Serbian. Imagine then what happens to African.

MA Riga, Wanyama's elder brother was denied a work permit. Even after Mancini pleaded with the FA not to deny such talent an opportunity to grow.
