milehigh06: Ghana,Nigeria,Senegal,IVC have all performed relatively in World cups......you seem not to get the point of beig respected.its because other players were so quick to jump at ridiculous offers that made africa or Nigeria in particular a laughing stock.Back when our players had pride in themselves,you had kanu walking into ajax,you had okocha walking into eintract frankfurt,you had finidi walking into real betis,you had muitu walking into rayo valecano,you had ikpeba walking into lokeren,you had keshi walking into anderlecht which was one of the best teams in the world then,uche okechukwu walked into brondby, and i cant remember these players going for trials.my point is if you do not take pride in what you do as a person,no one else will

ROSSIKE: Err... sorry, but except in your ignorant little head, Oboabona is NOT an ''unknown player'', having performed before the entire world at the African Nations Cup and Confederations Cup to GREAT credit. In the course of those tournaments, he held his own effectively against major names like Didier Drogba, Iniesta, Xavi and Suarez. These are all names that the average Arsenal defender crumbles at the sight of, so it is a GROSS INSULT to ask Godfrey Oboabana, African Champion par excellence, to come for ''trials'' at ANY club including Barcelona and Real Madrid, talk less of Arsenal. Any club that wants him - even if it is Sunderland - MUST respect him enough to acquire him outright.

druid06: @Onila, by fronting, you mean nagging right?

Yes, I've come to listen to many dudes who agree that nagging makes their relationship more fun.

dayokanu: Every club has more players from their native country where they are located. There would be more Spanish players in a Spanish club.

Since we rarely have black Spanish

You said Madrid has 2 black players yet you named 3 in your post. Are you trying to be mischievous?

Okay I would remind you of Casemiro another black Madrid player in addition to Verane, Marcelo(Vice Captain) and Pepe making 4 black players in Madrid which is same with A club like Juventus.

SO now tell us if Juventus is also a racist club Madrid has the same number of black players as Bayern did before buying Thiago So is Bayern also a racist club?

How about Dortmund? How many black players are there? Are they also a racist club?

dayokanu: England has indigenous black people Spain does not. The only black person to play for Spain was Marco Senna who was a Brazilian till he went for pro football. So its only natural that England has more black people in their game than Spain Same with France.

Now tell us the ratio of black players in Bayern Munich, Juventus, Borrousia Dortmund, Manchester United etc.

Etoo was a youth player in madrid and he moved out because he had better players like Raul, Morientes ahead of him


Even if you count Ronaldinho as black still how many black players have won WPOTY compared to whites?

dayokanu: Riquelme played for Barcelona, Aimar played for Valencia, All these clubs at the time were better than all the 2nd rate clubs Jayjay played for.

There must be a reason why all the top clubs avoid Okocha like a plague. His football sense is not high enough for a top level attacking midfielder

Top teams dont look for AM who would dribble the keeper and turn back like Okocha or those who would be more interested in making fun of defenders instead of being purposeful

dayokanu: Jayjay is more of a circus player and entertainer . He lacks the discipline to play at a top club. Its only a club like Bolton that can allow that type of player in their fold.

Geremi understands what it takes to play as a Right back thats why he could play for Madrid and Chelsea Okocha on the other side would rather drible senselessly to entertain crowd and get applause than purposefully.

Or was Geremi whiter than Okocha??

Or tell me why top clubs avoided Jayjay all through his career yet embraced someone like Etoo and Drogba.

OlamideOkadigbo: Mikel can never be compared to Makelele in defensive midfield....Mikel is a good central midfielder, knows how to make passes, has sheer strength but in d Makelele role, he lacks d positional sense and tactical awareness and is sometimes found wanting in simple things like tackles. He is extremely sluggish to cover grounds as Claude did. When he looses d ball sometimes, he doesnt chase d person down like a Makelele would do. I think Mikel will be better in the deep-lying playmaker role a la Pirlo or Xavi. He interpreted that role well at the confed. cup where he had Mba and Ogude to do the running around.

dayokanu: Show me 5 clubs in Europe that have equal black and white.

Unlike Basketball and Sprints, Whites are better at football than blacks thats why no single black country has won the world cup.

If whites are better at football then it makes sense that whites would dominate the game.

How many Ballon D or have been Blacks compared to whites.

dayokanu: Its simply because Jayjay wasnt good enough to play at top clubs.

Was Drogba not celebrated at Chelsea or is Mikel blacker than Drogba?

Etoo is celebrated everywhere, Its only poor players who complain about such

Weah won WPOTY, Ballon D Or as a black African

dayokanu: Are you serious? Is Real madrid not in a white country? How many blacks are native to Spain sef?

Mention any club in Europe where you can compare their number of black players to white players

You too compare the number of Black players who have played for Enyimba with white and tell me if Enyimba is a racist club
