So you mean if afcon was held alongside Copa america and euros, they would have prevented their African players from leaving citing covid-19 but bate an eyelid for their euro and american players?

As for the weather, that's where tech comes up but unfortunately we are so backward in that, can't there be fully built stadiums where an umbrella like structure be made to cover the stadiums when this rain start, like divert the rain and channel it somewhere else?

The issue is that there is this sentiment that Cameroon and other African countries must host it.
Most North African countries and South Africa have that kind of technology but they want other countries to host it.
My take is that, the afcon should be shifted to June (as it has been for the last few years) and then, it should be hosted by the African country
with the best technology.
Cameroon can in the mean time work on their technology so that they can host the Afcon in June. Caf should give Cameroon or other African countries 5 years to acquire this technology. With time, other African countries will learn to have the capacity to host afcon in June.
Cameroon cannot hold everybody to ransom because they want to host the afcon when they are not ready.
The best thing is to try and develop the technology and capacity themselves

But he is also a public figure that requires huge amounts of maturity. This comes first before age consideration.

How old were Foden and Greenwood when they were exiled from the national team for sleeping with prostitutes?

Grealish who is a grown man was some weeks ago ostracised by Guardiola for some matches for keeping multiple women.

You saw how the world and PSG reacted some weeks back when Icardi appeared to be cheating on his girlfriend.

Rashford was the same 22 years of age last year when he was awarded an MBE by England for help rendered to society, yet Solskjaer still criticized him for not focusing on football.

This is not hip-hop where sex is glorified, this is a corporate job. What you can't do or say in an interview, should never be said anywhere.

ahnahn, what’s the relationship between posting memes and carrying ashewo? Osimhen is just catching fun and trying to make himself and followers happy don’t think that’sa bad thing

Yeah, only worthy and ready countries should Host,if you want to host, develop yourself.Period

The second quote caught my attention, about being distracted during home games because of family and friends coming into team hotel to see the players.

This is why a national football center is important, like England's St George's park .

No one can just come into the place without authorization. And if any player has family issue, the player will have to leave the place and go visit them. So no rif raffs can just come into the place , unlike if it's just a general hotel where you can't stop people from coming and going because it's a public place. Even the stubborn players among the team will not be able to carry olosho enter sef, because they will send the olosho back at the entrance normally

he may be right but I think it’s just the ramblings of a sinking man, when we we were winning Algeria and Cameroon 3-1 4-0 did they not have families? Or is it the players families that told coachee to start ineffective Collins ahead of Sanusi and Aina?

Two truths can still exist bro.

Granted that he's not a very bright coach, it doesn't still invalidate those claims. And a serious FA should be working in those problems he highlighted nevertheless.

“I Know Say We Agreed On Friends With Benefits,Which One Kon Be Say You Don Dey Fall In Love With Me"

If you translated what Osimhen said to English, he meant:

I know we agreed on being just friends who have sex (intimacy is the right word), so why are you telling me you have fallen in love with me?

Meme or not? This category of public figure should never post this.

this is just hypocrisy on steroids

IDENNAA:



You can't be selectively blind when it suits you. I seems , for some persons , here , you intentionally avoid any news that's speaks good of Nwakali. I won't make sense for us to argue this because I just want to avoid insults and abuses for my own candid opinion. Have a good day , oga.

What are you saying

Simple question you can’t answer

What has been nwakali positive reviews ,what has he done so far this season ?

Who is here to insult you ,simple question you refused to answer and choose to be rude

Stop ranting like a pregnant goat Oga

It's not a "FIFA window", so the have every right to complain, european tournament don't clash with club football, always comes up during int break or when the season is over.

You said they've been complaining ever since African players became important players for this clubs, please why won't they?Did they force this players to come and play in europe?If that's the case then maybe our league should be developed enough to force these africans to sit back so we can do things the way we like.

This isn't about them trying to force our hands it's about doing the right thing, everybody is affected by this, the fact this players ain't vocal about it doesn't change shit,same continent where questioning authority is seen as disrespect,I won't be surprised if Balogun is finally purnished for the comments he made the other time,the time when playing afcon in January was no problem was when our players were still playing local leagues,most of our players now play in that europe, it's only normal if the period is adjusted to fit into the calendar, nobody will complain.

Euros and Copa america took off in the summer when club football was on break, nothing was going on here, now mid season when the table is beginning to take shape, title race is getting hot, relegation battle is becoming a do or die affair, that's when a club like Liverpool will two of their frontmen , that's when Watford will loose up to seven players, and you think they don't have the right to complain.

If it's possible that's these clubs find a way to prevent their players from leaving for the tournament,then I'm in full support, they should go ahead.

It's actually slave mentality to "think" these clubs telling caf to shift afcon to a more comfortable date for the players, the clubs and even the countries participating is slavery.

Why are you mixing apples and oranges, stick to the discuss. Of course clubs have a right to complain, free speech is a fundamental human right, but they do not have the right to keep African players during AFCON, the world football governing body has a rule to that effect, and it places premium on representation for country when duty calls over clubs. So on the legal front Africa isn't violating any rules.

Your argument about African players staying in Africa is unintelligent to say the least. Players don't force themselves on clubs, the clubs recognize their need for a player and buy them irrespective of whatever geographical zone they are in. It is because of seasons like this you have a bench, so you can easily draft a replacement when your preferred is absent. What if they were injured, won't the teams play?

Danielnino00:


But the pandemic was still there, wasn't it?

It's been established already that Africa can't host AFCON in the summer due to weather conditions..

Only a few countries can...

And to think that same summer is when Africans will be experiencing rainfalls, not just small but heavy rainfalls,

so those Europeans should understand climate different

If fifa go ahead and start its biennial World Cup Uefa and conmebol have concluded plans to pull out and start a joint Nations league by 2024.
The top 6 ranked South American teams - so Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Peru and Chile - would join League A of the UEFA Nations League.
The other 4 - Paraguay, Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia - would be added to League B

Former EPL star Steven Caulker have been cleared to represent Sierra Leone

TheLoneCitizen:


If AFRICA shouldn't have to bend, then we shouldn't complain when clubs refuse to release our best players. They pay these players, not the national teams.

I understand that conditions beyond our control have forced us to hold tournaments in January, but we shouldn't feel entitled to anything.

There are six footballing regional tournaments in the world, and only CAF plays mid-season.

But NPFL played during this hot summer,
Cameroon league played through this hot summer.
And South Africa, which had infrastructures to host a Summer World Cup, experiences its coldest climate during this hot summer.

If circumstances have forced us to deploy our biggest competition at a time when the world's biggest leagues are up and running, then so be it.

Five other federations must not stop operations because of one.

Oga, AFCON isn't the only intercontinental tournament held in mid season...The Asian cup too is held in mid season. You don't hear the Europeans complaining about it because it doesn't affect them much...

And what do you mean by "hot summer"? What you call summer in Europe is the period of heavy rainfall in many part of Africa...

Lol .."umbrella like structure".. "divert the rain". .lol..
U want to mess with nature?
Do u know how much it would cost to build "an umbrella like structure"?
How many of such are available in Europe?

See, there are some things you can't change..Even this season,we have seen some games in due to weather issue..

Don't put too much focus on covid-19... Covid-19 isn't the real issue here... The real issue is that European clubs are never comfortable with the idea of AFCON taking place in January Covid-19 had provided a perfect opportunity for them to finally push for it's postponment..

Remember sometimes this year when UK had that red list and were very serious about enforcing it? Well,they did.. They stopped South American players from honouring their national teams call up..South America responded by activating the FIFA law that would keep those players from playing for their clubs for the time period which they were supposed to be on international break The FA ran up and down begging....

I wonder why some people are trying to act so ignorant about the issue of climate... Africa is a tropical continent...Most part of it experience heavy rainfall during the summer period.. It isn't everything technology can fix...

Even in Europe, technology isn't helping them to stop postponing games due to harsh weather conditions ..
They are already complaining about the world cup being staged in Qatar...

yes Remember it like its yesterday, man city, PDF, and some other clubs were at the receiving End of FIFA hammer, before They start running left, right and center

hope CAF will copy it,

beside as Safarigirl rightly say, Europe is the worst Affected, and if anything at all, it's suppose to be Africa placing the worst hit European country on redlist

The league's rating didn't help nothing. Even the refs aren't worthy to be afcon linesmen?? 2021 o.

Remove Eze and Olise from the list, Nwakali nope, maybe Alhassan Yusuf, Dennis and Look man yes, add Ejeria and Calvin Bassey,


BTW, my list is was arranged in departmental order,

1.Is a goalkeeper

2.Is a Defender

3.Is an Am/ss

4.Is a Winger/Am

5.Is a Striker

TheLoneCitizen:


Ramsdale is absolutely overhyped. Everything he's doing now, Leno did and more.
But media are rating him as the second coming of Van Der Saar.

He's not Overhyped, but Leno has done most of what he's doing. He's better than Leno in his organizing defence and shouts and ginger which is yielding results we all can see. Leno can't do that. Besides Leno was too yielding to the yeye play from the back system imposedby Arteta. Ramsdale is choosing when to use that at will, no matter what Arteta wants. Thats balls.


If Leno is 2.0 version, Rams is 2.3 version.

nwakali making the list is possible cus e be like eguavoen Dey close with am

The way they have been screaming Nwakali's name on this thread, i can't help but wonder if it's the same nwakali that plays for Huesca or another nwakali..

Some of you guys stan nonsense. I am thinking these useless footballers from God forsaken leagues actually pays some of you mofos to come here and spew trash.

O bob we are talking about super freaking eagles and not Raggae boys of Jamaica or Gilbratar football national team. Smh..

TFLASHOGEE:
Ok Rorh we hope nff makes necessary adjustments

Factors like the rotation of home stadiums played a role in that loss and concentration. The fall back is on leadership. I never liked the rotation. Rohr comes absolved for second quote to me. Yeye lagos pitch and stadium.

Plus family and friends, parties.

Uyo was far and concentration could have been high.

Danielnino00:


While most African teams have one or two games during the international break, European countries mostly play 3... Even in South America,it's 3... But we don't hear them complaining..
They wanted to create a super league and turn players to robots...

In my opinion, CAF should just shift the AFCON to a 4 years tournament..make everybody rest...

For all i care, CAF should never bend to any nonsense talk from these Europeans talking. We maintain our two year window. If its African that have 2-3 national tourneys in such a window, im sure none of them will want to buy any African again. They'll turn redder than blood.


More respect should be added to continental main tourneys IMO. It will cut down these disrespect.

I think the new super eagles coaching crew should groom Calvin bassey to replace aging balogun or error prone ekong

I pray Osaze comes good at Celtic too so him and bassey will form our central defensive pair in the nearest future

Also the nff and eguavoen should reach out to udinese’s left back udogie. Have followed him closely and must confess that he is better than both Sanusi and Collins

Eguavoen should use this afcon to incorporate akpoguma fully to the team, if possible drop ekong for the hoffenheim man if the watford cb continues to underperform. An awaziem and akpoguma combination should be tried in friendlies prior to the afcon
