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

Thank you fa

Caragher was trying to say sallah may not get Ballon d or like rodri did, who won the ballon d or by also winning the euros competition.

Euros and afcon are both regional competition

So can sallah own be same too

Sallah is already performing greatly at club level now, he's supposed to win the Ballon d or if he was going to say a euros and Egypt performs too, his position is cemented, but he's going to afcon, if Egypt performs at AFCON, can a afcon success solidify sallahs reason of becoming a Ballon d or winner

Let's watch

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

We are talking Int'l career here, not league

Messi won everything but he was shaded on int'l space until he won something with Argentina

i so much love CAF respond, showing in viewership stats between CAf and over rated Super bowl 👍

DigitB:
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.

Your father is the slowpoke

Why will oyibo not talk down on Africa. When e be say we are seeing their place like heaven, Our leaders have refused to make things better in Africa.

How old are you

George Weah won Ballon d'Or.

Anyways, just like his name Carragher which is synonymous in Yoruba to "Ká r'ajà"... Meaning, let's buy market. Biko...! This guy don buy market from Africans & he go collect woto woto.

Carragher a failed footballer.. that never won any medal. Frustration have set in

Carragher that can't lace even Taye Taiwo shoe? He's always been an idiot right from day one. His flops at the defense line was the major reason Liverpool had problems winning trophies. I've never liked him even though I've been a Liverpool fan for many years. I've always hated him for been the vulnerable side through which opponents penetrate our defense. If not that England over hype their subpar talents, who is this idiot to talk when football is mentioned.

yuzjet:
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.

Honestly, he's one of the reasons Liverpool didn't win anything because of his flops at the back.

Africans should step up simple
A competition that Total energies still sponsors isn’t so nice

Fibonacci88:
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.

Thank you. Imagine that idiot. As a Liverpool fan, I hate him more than Satan

Caf why are you wasting data and time replying to the failed footballer.

othermen:
This response does not speak to the features that are typical of a major tournament.
Africans can regard Afcon as one of the most important competition in the sport, but that’s not sufficient. The rest of the world must also view the tournament as a major tournament.

I think if you take into consideration , the context of the discussion, it will be easier to see the point that Jamie made. It’s simply that success in the tournament could contribute to deciding Africa’s best player on the continent, but historically won’t contribute so much to your ranking as the best player in the world.

We can review Afcon player of the tournament and their global ranking in every particular year. Then compare with Euro and Copa America. We see a pattern. Winners in these other tournaments automatically become contenders for the world’s best player. This speaks to their prestige and influence.

Our outrage is hypocritical too. We have had top players in Africa skip Afcon. They had no injury. It is because they didn’t rate the tournament. Yet, no outrage.

African players such as Mikel Obi and others who have passionately contributed to the discuss have viciously and disappointingly muddled up everything. They want to be defenders or messiahs of some sort. Yet, if they persist, they have only succeeded at building their own influence at the detriment of the competition. And only attempt to widen the depth of denial.

Let Afcon, the players, our media … let us be constructive. We would easily see that AFCON falls short esp on its impact on players ranking globally. It is elevating AFCON standing that should be the direction, not pretending that it has some standing.

Whatever I have said, you can infer same in your thoughts about our local league and how much we could do to raise its standing. But we give billions to European football. And have nothing left for local competition.

The world best player award is a European award in reality. Rest!

Ones a white person goes against a black man's opinion, he is called a racist ....inferiority complex is really dealing with people like u ... and to be honest, Afcon " might " be a serious competition to Africans, but to the rest of the world , no one cares , just like the Asian cup...if u are asked who won the last Asian cup, u would have to Google it, same goes for concacaf and even commobol to an extent.... its only the Euros and world cup that the world is interested in , for obvious reasons .... even some of ur fellow African players find excuses not to feature in Afcon , but will rather keep playing for his club during the tournament....

Look into the mirror & tell me what you see. That inferiority complex's card you're throwing is staring right at you, your four fingers pointing back at you. Just imagine the bolded statement of yours. Well done Nigerian white man, keep on seeing the white men as the arbiter of the universe, and remain in their perverse judgement of your likes existence.

Stop lying please.
The way we used VAR which we did not invent was respected worldwide in terms of accuracy compared to all other football competitions... Europe was amazed and dumbfounded by our prowess and hoped to learn.

Nigerian version of Jammy, spineless, short attention spanned and shallow thinker

I am dissapointed that people are dissapointed with Carragher.

The truth is that we will always look atvthe white man as superior....forget sentiments.... everything that exists around us was created by the white man , even the same football that's causing this issue .... all up coming black football players dream is to play in the white man's country .... the cars we drive , the phone we use , the Internet, or Morden houses , entertainment, sports competition, electricity, cloths language and religion , we courtesy of the white man...so what do u expect ....without the white man , we will be living in forests like the Amazonians today

Don't mind that one.
Did he even watch the last Afcon?
He's here talking about Integrity, Organisation.... Asss licker.

tommy589:

I dey tell you. Person dey pray make him nor wake up one day go misyarn o. CAF don see who devert their poor footballing management blames to nau.

CAF is a substandard competition by many standards. Someone just summoned the guts to spill it. Poor pitch, useless officiating, poor broadcast quality, and bad timing to name a few.

Move this shit to summer when clubs are on holiday so that the entire globe will be able to see it. Then you wonder why most foreign clubs don't put African players at the centre of their plans. No sane coach wants to lose the services of a key player mid-season.

lereinter:
Which afcon edition did weah play?

When did Liberia qualify for afcon

Lolzzzzz 🤣

He played in 2002

It may sound emotional, but it's true

Ballon D'or is basically for European players while APOTY is for African players
Winning Ballon D'or does not mean you're the best in the world
It simply means you're the best in Europe

ThothHermes:

As a footballer, he scored a lot of own goals and he was like a loophole in Liverpool defence. Most of the title races we missed was due to his incompetence. I don't know a worse failure than that.
