AFCON: CAF Responds To Jamie Carragher by robosky02(op): 9:14pm On Feb 27, 2025
The 2024 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) shattered viewership records, reaching a total of 2.2 billion viewers worldwide according to a report by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). This surpasses the viewership of the Super Bowl in the United States, which averaged 123.4 million viewers that same year, a 1.8 billion gap.

The competition also saw a significant increase in digital engagement, with 2.1 billion digital interactions, 3.1 billion TikTok video views, and 12.5 million Instagram views.

The 2.2 billion views was a substantial increase from the 350 million video views for AFCON 2021 as CAF has labelled this event as the most successful in the competitions history.

There's no point dignifying the racist with any response, either vaguely or otherwise. He should continue dwelling in his ignorance.

I don't blame him sha, I blame the mfs that have refused to develop our homelands, even with the enormous amount of resources available, and the fucker$ that keep praising their ineptitude.

Imagine his football record


Jamie Carragher, a former Liverpool and England footballer, has many achievements, including winning multiple trophies with Liverpool and playing for England.

Trophies with Liverpool
Two FA Cups (2001, 2006)
Three Football League Cups (2001, 2003, 2012)
Two FA Charity/Community Shields
One UEFA Champions League (2005)
One UEFA Cup (2001)
Two UEFA Super Cups (2001, 2005)

International achievements
Held the national record for most caps at under-21 level
Earned his senior debut for England in 1999


What's this trash
He was not even a Balondor nominee

El Hadji Diouf responds to Jamie Carragher’s Disrespect Towards AFCON (Translated from French).

The AFCON (Africa Cup of Nations) is one of the three biggest football tournaments in the world, with more than 1.4 billion viewers.


Let’s use numbers to tell the story of AFCON (no need to defend it – the numbers speak for themselves).
Watched in 170 countries, 1.4 billion viewers, the third-largest competition in the world, 2.2 billion streams.

AFCON is watched in more than 170 countries – which makes it a global event. It must be respected.


African talents have left their mark on world leagues. Samuel Eto’o, Didier Drogba, Jay-Jay Okocha, George Weah, Sadio Mané, and Mo Salah, myself El Hadji Diouf, and many others…


You can’t sit at the same table as these African names. You, racist Jamie Carragher, who are you to attack our AFCON?

AFCON is Africa’s pride!



Today in Africa, if you mention Jamie Carragher, people will think you’re talking about a ketchup or mustard brand.



So it’s normal for you to disrespect Africa’s biggest tournament and all these great African footballers who have contributed to world football and the entire continent.


You need this to exist and make yourself known.

When you have nothing to say, you stay silent.

Even England best players of all time won’t utter this nonsense this caragher of a ketchup uttered.

It’s people like him in English football both as sponsors, management and even players

When you see a racist u will know via their utterances
Re: AFCON: CAF Responds To Jamie Carragher by Lanre1st(m): 6:48am On Feb 28, 2025
Why truth is bitter. Salah and many other African players are not in 'ballon de or' because they play in AFCON. Rodri won balloon de or because he won EURO Cup even ahead of champions league winner.

It may sound emotional, but it's true
Re: AFCON: CAF Responds To Jamie Carragher by DigitB: 6:50am On Feb 28, 2025
You morons should accept the truth.

The corrupt CAF Championship is a small competition.

What makes a competition great isn't just viewership — Afrịka has the numbers.

I'm looking out for :

Integrity
Good Organization
Zero corruption
Good remuneration.
Re: AFCON: CAF Responds To Jamie Carragher by nairalee(m): 6:51am On Feb 28, 2025
Who is answering Jamie Carragher? Someone that has never won any international trophy playing for England. Never won epl with Liverpool

YET he runs his mouth teaching players and coaches how to win matches and trophies. Perfect definition of talk is cheap
Re: AFCON: CAF Responds To Jamie Carragher by Sheuns(m): 6:51am On Feb 28, 2025
grin
Re: AFCON: CAF Responds To Jamie Carragher by yuzjet(m): 6:51am On Feb 28, 2025
Carragher is not intelligent. A defender with second highest scorers of own goals in the Premier league and 0 EPL trophy doesn't have the understanding or knowledge of how tournament is played and won. He's too foolish to be talking about a continent football grand prize.
Re: AFCON: CAF Responds To Jamie Carragher by Ablesam171: 6:51am On Feb 28, 2025
Why would CAF dignify Carragher with a response. Would UEFA respond to a statement by Taribo West or Rigobert Song?
Re: AFCON: CAF Responds To Jamie Carragher by tishbite43: 6:52am On Feb 28, 2025
El Hadji Diouf
Man wey sabi
World Cup 2002
Africa got talent
Re: AFCON: CAF Responds To Jamie Carragher by JordanMichael(m): 6:53am On Feb 28, 2025
He has more career own goals than any other defender in history of football

Viewership will increase exponentially across the world

Re: AFCON: CAF Responds To Jamie Carragher by Fibonacci88: 7:01am On Feb 28, 2025
Imagine Carraghar that has more own goals than his total career goals is talking down on Afcon. This dude was the reason Liverpool never won the league all through his playing days.
Re: AFCON: CAF Responds To Jamie Carragher by NOETHNICITY(m): 7:01am On Feb 28, 2025
Until we Africans value what we have, foreigners will not come and value it for us.
You should know that foreigners don’t like you, they will never do!
We have the population in our favor!
We have the resources!
We have the human capital!
We have everything!
We can do without them!
They can’t do without Africa

Re: AFCON: CAF Responds To Jamie Carragher by Focusmind: 7:09am On Feb 28, 2025
Mehn, see CAF response.....that was epic!!!

I like it when people use figures and numbers to win arguments. Even in your CVs and resumes, use numbers to quantify your achievements. It's always an upper cut to whoever is reviewing or comparing your achievements or whoever is arguing with you.

Use of numbers, graphical illustrations and pictures tells more stories than writing a ten - page document.
Re: AFCON: CAF Responds To Jamie Carragher by Thelannister: 7:10am On Feb 28, 2025
I don’t know him personally, but I know he always end up scoring own goals in side play station games. And he won’t want to come out too
