Brahimi is very popular oo, to be sincere, so many offers from epl before he became a free agent because he dont wanna play for porto anymore

Exactly! I think he might end up signing for Arsenal.

BARAJ92:
. The only known performing star in Algeria is Mahrez while Nigeria has zero known performing star players, Iwobi is an average player. the likes of Brahimi and Feghouli are not that popular. How many African players are in spain, same Brahimi that is now a free agent

To you.

A one time BBC player of the year is not popular? Do you think people watch only EPL?

Brahimi being a free agent doesn't tantamount to being a poor player.

Besides, Arsenal and West Ham United want to sign him.

See his stats for Porto this season.

andrew444:
Smiles, Egypt loss comes to mind just as you said.

Chaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Barcelona don steal dis one. See as cold catch am as em see the dressing room.

andrew444:
The twitter ones/ social media ranters

Unai emery loves iwobi

Popularity with your fans determines how valuable you are to the team. Coach na soldier come soldier go barrack(fans) remain.

safarigirl:
including Musa, upcoming?

Musa that has AFCON medal? Musa that has scored four World Cup goals, upcoming?

Please, these your three big name players Algeria has, what do they have over Musa?

Brahimi was once La Liga African player of the season, BBC player of the year and CAF team of the year.

Feghouli was la Liga African player of the season.

Mahrez doesn't need any introduction.

But I will have to agree with you Musa is a big name player.

andrew444:
Nairaland fans

Arsenal fans ofcource.

andrew444:
Iwobi nko?

Iwobi wey em Arsenal fans never like.

safarigirl:
were they not part of the team that collected 3 in Uyo?

Meanwhile, Algeria has flown in hundreds of supporters into Egypt for this game. Any team that does this, more often than not, loses the game.

That's another topic.

andrew444:
Lol

How many we get?

Mikel but he is old. The rest are upcoming.

andrew444:
I know both of them are a better player than onyekuru NO DOUBT

I am just comparing base on the club they both play for, hope you get me?

Some algerians even see Feghouli as a better player than mahrez,

The point is Algeria has 3 big name players in the team.

andrew444:
The only big name player in algeria remain mahrez, mikel should have been called but he his no more playing at the level of before, so many europeans football fans know mikel, and also so many european fans knows iwobi, that guy cant tell me he doesnt know iwobi, he can only say iwobi is not world class, an arsenal regular player cant be unknown

even for senegal team ask an european they will only call mane not everyone knows koullibally

for morocco they will only call benatia because he played for juventus ,bayern

Tunisia is NONE

Ivory coast maybe zaha, but is zaha popular than iwobi? if zaha is known then iwobi is also known

If we are to go by the words of boutabout then african only have very few big names which are not more than 8

Let me end here for now

Mahrez is not the only big name player in the Algerian team.

I hope we don't just underrate the Algerian players and think it's going to be a work over.

andrew444:
Mikel is above brahimi and co in terms of NAME, dont go there o, maybe because say baba don old thats why that mumu no see him name call

If you are calling brahimi and feghouli then you should be calling onyekuru because he plays for gala and he is a regular there

Brahimi and Feghouli are not in Onyekuru's level. Let us tell ourselves the truth.

La Liga African players of the season and BBC player of the year are no joke awards.

BascoVanVeli:
Again I repeat what the heck does Coutinho have to do with Origi? U are being ridiculous. The reports were clear that Origi was loaned out because Solanke came in but now you are bringing up ying and yang.

BascoVanVeli:
We saw how good an idea that was. That silly move might have cost them a champions league because Solanke was sh*t for Liverpool and couldn't offer a single thing.
Imagine that lucky negro Origi coming in as a sub against real Madrid?

The bolded is the epitome of ridiculousness.

Just a compliment. Nothing like shot.

BascoVanVeli:
What the bloody hell does Coutinho a starter have to do with a conversation about substitutes? If i am not mistaken he was their leading UCL goal scorer before his move so how does he figure in a discussion about replacing Salah?

Because the decision to loan out Origi was at the beginning of the season and Liverpool had Coutinho in the team before the decision was made, and even after he forced his way out at mid season, he was replaced with Ox who unfortunately got injured prior to the final.

Therefore, the siliy move your claimed might have cost Liverpool the final was uttered due to ignorance.

Next time think well before you make unnecessary and inconsequential statements.

Same way you claimed Africa was setup for failure.
US was originally made up of several tribes with different languages. Colonies were setup and merge as well.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_history_of_the_United_States

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federally_recognized_tribes_in_the_United_States

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_United_States

United States was a British property.

BascoVanVeli:
Who said that? Origi was loaned before the season so what does signing Ox have to do with anything.

Why did you say Origi should have replaced Salah when you know Liverpool had Coutinho at the beginning of the season?

mank1234:
It's an excuse for failure. America too was setup for failure too but it defied the odds.

How was America set up for failure?

BascoVanVeli:
We are talking about Origi and Solanke so stop talking nonsense. Was Coutinho going to come off the bench? Did Liverpool start the season with Oxlade? Didn't they pick him up mid season?

Origi had always provided a spark off the bench for the reds and to loan him out because of an unproven player was ridiculous.

So, the decision to loan out Origi was at mid season?

Is there common sense in that?

mank1234:
I think you don't read to assimilate facts before jumping to comment.

The post you quoted compared Europeans and Africans in contemporary time (now} and not then. In this age are we supposed to still be fighting over irrelevant things (intolerance)?

If Rwandan were unified as you claimed, why was there genocide in that country? If indeed they are homogenous and their making progress is not because they've forged ahead, are they the only homogenous country in Africa?

A child that keeps saying that he can't achieve much because he lost his father cannot make it because he has resigned to fate.

Over 50years is a long time for the effect of slave trade to be the cause of backwardness. If we that were not transported across the Atlantic are giving it as excuse, what should those over there say?

Agreed that the whites came to exploit but have we really grown at a rate commensurate with our potential?

If the Germans and English sees eye to eye, why is there always violence btw them whenever they play football together?

Imagine, merging Germans and English in an artificial state. What will be the outcome?

Rwanda was a unified country before the Belgian came. This is a known fact. Do yourself a favour by doing a little research.

Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria and Botswana are the other only homogeneous or least ethical countries in Africa. As you can see, they are making progress ahead of those more ethically diverse countries in Africa.

In fact, study shows that richer countries appear more likely to be homogenous.

Unfortunately, most African countries are still indirectly under their colonial masters.

BascoVanVeli:
So because Salah got injured this means whatever player coming in would play his position? Mane used to play where before they got Salah? So u can't imagine moving him to the rwf and playing Origi on the left? Remember they had absolutely no reserve options on the wings that season and they loaned out a guy that can play all 3 forward positions to have an Englishman on their team.

Is Origi better than Coutinho who started the season before he forced his move to Barcelona?

Did Liverpool envisaged his move to Barcelona?

Besides, why did Liverpool buy Alexander Oxlade-Chamberlain?

Do u think Liverpool didn't have options at the beginning of the season?

Please, stop giving sh*t analysis.

mank1234:
This post goes on to buttress our point that Africans are the problem of Africa and not the whites. While English people are ready to see French people and Germans eye to eye, South Africans and Ghanaians are unwilling to see Nigerians. That's primitive. Did the whites teach you that?

The only country in Africa that is thinking is Rwanda. They've learnt to accept each other and move on. They fought a bitter war yet both sides has come to terms that it was a mistake. When you go online and see the exchanges amongst Nigerians (igbo vs yoruba vs Hausa vs fulani), you know there's no hope for blacks (for we represent the black race).

Rwanda was never an artificial state. It was a unified state as far back as pre colonial times. They share the same culture and speak one language until Belgium came and put differences between them.

You don't seems to know much.

So the wars the French and English fought were what?

Who caused the world wars?

You don't seems to know much.

Drtega:
u don't mean it

It is a known fact.

You mean Origi would have played Salah's wing after he was injured in the final?

What a sh*ty analysis!

ChrisKels:
Hahahahaha uv ran outta steam

Oya face palm

Which steam? Just admit you lied.

darkelf:
I was talking about post independence in my little essay. Hence my question

African states were set up for European selfish and personal interest.

Toylove:
yes they have better players than us but they are overhyped

Hehehe!

ChrisKels:
U are the one straggling. U said he wasn't a bench warmer, then I asked u to do the honorable thing bu proving it.

He has played only 10times in as many games for Bournemouth, starting a paltry 2, out of the two games he started, he completed only one.

In the other 8 matches, he came in as a late sub, probably a ploy by the coach to kill time


I hope these starts really do qualify him as a seasoned player as u alluded bhuhahahaha lwkmd oo

Origi went on loan because of Solanke. EOD

Danielnino00:
CC Chriskels, Thesupernerd ..this is d guy

Just admit you are a bloody liar. That's all.

darkelf:
Was Nigeria decimated by bombs from 1960 till date (Bar the states under Biafra)?

Answer that question first.

darkelf:
It is foolhardy to keep on blaming slavery for underdevelopment as a person or as a people.

The question becomes, what have you done with your decades of independence?

Was Germany not totally ruined by the full brunt of the Allied war machine during WW2? Now, they are world leaders in technology. They don't go on blaming Hitler for their woes.

Was Japan not nearly decimated by the Atomic bomb in 1945? Yet, they not only dominate in technology in this modern times but even in medicine and sports. Look at the Nobel prize winners and you'd see how many Japanese scientists have been awarded such Honor..

Development requires will and the commitment to do so. It doesn't augur well with victim mentality. Many Blacks all over have this mentality and thus, they are lagging behind.

Were Germany and Japan artificial states?

Olulong:
He didn't warm the bench and he made 7 appearances from January to May.

At Liverpool, he warmed the bench last season. Understandable.

At Bournemouth, he didn't.
