lagtech: I am watching the World Cup in the United States-on ESPN, ESPN 2 AND ABC. They have world class commentators including
Micheal Ballack
Everton Coach
Ex USA Players
Steve McManaman
Ex Argentina and Brazil players
Gilberto Silva -2002 World Cup winner
Even ex Super Eagles Efan Ekoku is a commentator.

But the insults to Africa by ESPN and the world media is just unbelievable.

1) Micheal Ballack-said clearly that NO African team would make the 2nd round. Well he's been proved wrong.
2) In the Nigeria -Argentina match review-you would think that only Messi and his teammates were on the field-only their goals and plays were reviewed. No mention of Ahmed Musa or Mikel, or Babatunde or Enyema.
3) ESPN constantly shows reviews of matches- in snippets-the exciting moments-not one reference to any African team or player.
4) Yahoo did a review of the teams left -and of course Algeria and Nigeria were bottom. In fact in reviewing Nigeria-this is what Yahoo said:


"The Super Eagles advanced at the expense of Bosnia-Herzegovina, which were a much better team in the group stages. Life, she is unfair."

2 sentences and thats all they could say?Bosnia was better than us? Seriously? -yet we scored 2 goals against Argentina and they did not? Yet we won and they lost?

I know its not about us being black-there are black players the world over-its just a disdain and disrespect for Africa. When people hear of France and Nigeria-they think of records-not man to man. Enyema is the best keeper in France -they dont think of this. The Super Eagles have improved with every match -they dont think of this. Mikel plays with Chelsa -they dont think of this. Ahmed Musa-played as good as Messi on Wednesday-they dont think of this.
In fact the only time Nigeria got extended mention was to sympathize with us over the Boko Haram bombing of Wednesday and wondering how it would affect the players.

I know that Africa still lacks behind Europe and South America in records-but we have world class players playing in Europe-are we not worth at least 1 minute mention in a 5 minute segment? Guess without winning the world cup or at least 2 African teams getting to the Semi Finals in two consecutive world cups-they will always consider us as "waka pass" .

u need to see the comments on youtube when cameroon Assou-Ekotto headbutt his team mate.
it was like the whole of africa commited the offence.
-blacks will always be blacks
-africans should be banned from the world cup
-they remembered their buffalos at home

when suarez removed a chunk of chellini's flesh, no one called uruguayans canibals.
when the french team prefered to insult each other rather than play ball no called french people touts.
when frank rjkaard was busy spitting at german players at italian '90, the dutch people received no uncomplementary remarks.
but when it comes to africa, the suppresed negative perception about africa suddenly comes alive and all africans are seen from one myopic angle.
the evil that men do starts and ends with them and should not in any way be extended to other members of his clans.
thanks

EagleScribes: And what has CAF done to curb all these? I think Africa and Africans itself needs to put their house in order. Let's develop our own thing devoid of corruption and sentiments. Who says we can't shut their mouths up?

borga112: Only Algeria will make Africa proud.

France 5 - mumu republic of naija 0

davidif: Respect is earned bro. Not given. You think this is naija where everybody just defers to you? If the African teams want respect they have to earn it. The only African team that deserves a little bit of respect is Algeria who made it to the second round who did not require an awful and egregious call by the ref to make it to the second round.

toshmann: In this 2014 we black people are still complaining over minor issues?

If u don't like their comments, come together, organize and get your own sports channel where Amina Ikenna Edet Olawunmi and Efe et al can become commentators.

The Arabs didn't like the western media, they got Al Jazeera and now the west complains of Al Jazeera. Which one be Africa own.

Me I've stopped complaining far back. See how we embarrased ourselves in this World Cup. First Cameroon players had to fight for their bonuses, then Ghana threatened to miss the last match if bonuses are not paid, I even heard the Super Eagles refused to train for their match against France. Who is holding back the bonuses of these african teams? Money that I heard came from FIFA o. How d'you expect oyibo to respect us with this kind of behavior when even we won't respect others of it were others behaving this way.

Next please

vanstanzy:
Africans this is the worlds view about u. Their view about u doesnt matter, unless u make it to matter. Whats ur own view about urself? thats what really matters.

Mr Mac-10:
Delusional fuckss thinking Nigeria will win the world cup . Keep dreaming dumb hoes

Abel202: [b]My people,
My hobby is listening to news.
And just as most of us have observed, the western world has no single respect for Africans.
But the snake-like aspect is that they go to a great length to hide anything positive from Africa - but they go to an astronomical length to show the negativities.
As far as this FIFA world cup is concerned. Beating France on Monday is a task the Super Eagles MUST ACCOMPLISH.
Because the best way to shut up your critics, shut up the people that never see anything good in you, is to SUCCEED IN THEIR FACE. Then they will be forced to report your success whether they like it or not.
For the first time, Africa has two countries in the knock out stage, that is certainly an improvement. Asia has no representative at this stage whatsoever.
Believe me, NIGERIA SHALL DEFINITELY WIN FRANCE ON MONDAY.
And once that is accomplished, the Final would be our destination.
Some people might be forced to jump into the atlantic ocean or drink poison because of the Incredible Success the Super Eagles shall bring back to Africa.
All those hype about Messy this Messy that, was it not two goals that he scored in that our martch against them? Was it not in the same game that our villain turned hero - Musa also scored 2 goals?
Wahala no deh, Just as the Super Eagles overwhelmed the critics by lifting the Afcon, so shall they give heart attack to some western bigots by Bringing the world Cup home - YES I SAID IT, BRINGING THE WORLD CUP HOME FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE MOST POPULOUS BLACK NATION ON EARTH TO DRINK WATER WITH IT.[/b]

Judolisco: Nice one,they r racist...even africans dnt blieve in theirselves. .wich european team ave u seen tryin 2 boycott bcause of some payment

davidif:

No mind them, them dey too insecure and sensitive.

henrychubayo: I believe that more slots given to us is an added advantage. So what we can do is pressure Fifa to reduce the slots for Europe and increase the ones for Africa. Once this is done, we will see teams gong all the way. We can not rate africa and Europe the same way if we do not have Equality. For ones, let's push that every continent should get the same number of slots in Fifa competition. That is equality and from there, we will see what happens. Let the Caf Administrators push for these. We seriously need it tat way. Atleast I know that Africa has moore countries than Europe.
