African football still has a long way to go to measure up to European standards.

No razzmatazz, no mesmerising display of skills by the players, no breathtaking moves creating intense excitement for the watchers.

It is mostly boring.

it has actually regressed, play is too physical. Around the early 2000s African football was at a very high level

emmyluizzz:

then what the hell are you doing here

I know your type
people like you no fit make am cos pride fit collect you

Why are you pained?

You think everyone on nairaland is at the same level with you?

Just because we can't see each other gave you the impetus to insult people that can even feed you for a whole year

Lesson learnt.....
Do not expect much from the AFCON.

This game was physical but the athleticism and speed were top notch. Better than most games in the last tournament.

I do enjoy AFCON back then. I think the quality of play was so high. I don't know what happened now.

Ogbeni, stop this ur Talk!

It is ONLY in EPL, LA Liga, Serie A and other European leagues dat you see entertaining football.

In International Cup Competitions, many teams are conversatives in dier play! E.g. Italy.
In World cup matches, Many teams play cautious, boring football..

So it's not an African thing!

Even this game wasn't cautious or boring.

Cameroon was the better side & will definitely finish top of the group. I love their stamina & energy level, though not very entertaining play.

Na Too much of EPL, LA Liga and UCL don spoil una!

There is NO difference at all.

Infact, the quality of football in d recent AFCON's is better dan those Mali 2002 and Ghana/Nigeria 2000 tournament!

Cameroon 2 Burkina Faso 1
JJ OKOCHA was spot on with the prediction. Pretty sure some bet gangs, who locked it in, will be smiling home now

Don't mind them Jare!

They think this is Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City matter!

Let Ronaldo, Mbappe, Messi, Salah, etc come to dis AFCON and see whether they will be able to dribble a Single player? Or show skills..

Home/big team win na sure game for this afcon o

Not true
I watched almost all matches in afcon from Tunisia 2004,
The quality of play was better than recently

iLoveYouToo:
The tackle was strong but it wasn’t a penalty, dude got the ball first . I feel for the ref though

Clear penalties on both occasions

Your confusion stems from the fact that other smaller African countries are trying to compete more through development of their sports now than before, and that's not really quality because they still play crap.

You can make inferences from superb performances from teams like Egypt, Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, Morocco then..
and compare now.

There is a very big decline

When they finish this current competition (I hope you will be able to watch most of the matches, as I will), then you can come back to give us an unbiased comparative analysis of the two sets of competition. If you still impressed, then I will believe you.

Check also the stadium population at each of the matches, that's how we will know if the fans are impressed or excited enough to watch their players on the field, and it is also a measure how they rate the quality of the matches.

In addition: Nigerian players in this current team lack the zeal to win this competition (as noted in their qualifying matches). So don't bet on them.
