Because they see it as honour to play for their country. They are more devoted and dedicated. Imagine what the Super Eagles B played yesterday. Those guys should refund all the money spent on them for this CHAN competition. They are a disgrace |

I think too much reliance on petrodollars made the Arab world of Asia extremely unproductive and uncreative, affecting their ability to compete in games too. The only thing saving the Gulf world is that they have leaders who are genuinely committed to fixing their countries. Most of the skyscrapers in the Middle East were built by American and European companies. |

A lot of those boys from North Africa on the national team are mixed race. They have Black African in them. They are not the same as Middle East Arab. |

helinues:From Ronaldo to Messi to Ronaldinho, what inspired many of the best footballers in the world to become extremely good at their craft is that they want to escape poverty. To achieve that, they sacrificed pleasures and personal time, and they subjected themselves to rigourous training. But when you come from a country where the government practically pays everyone salaries and buys you a house like it's done in Qatar (thanks to too much money from oil and gas sales), why would you deny yourself all these things to be outstanding at sports? Why is common sense a scarce commodity on this forum? |

Tinubumustgo:Who should we blame? The presidency or the players because I don't understand why you guys at the opposition side don't have any meaningful contributions apart from blaming the presidency for all the life woes. You guys always take every discussion as a joke because that's what you are |

christistruth01:Very true. Colonial and cultural affinity and proximity with Europe has made North African teams more competitive than their ME counterparts. Also, the afcon is the oldest continental football competition in the world. The rich history of west afrrican football in the competition has helped better the quality of those Arab countries in Africa. That said, apart from Egypt, every other NA country hasn't dominated African football like Nigeria and Cameroon and the rest in West and central Africa. That's not also to say that Egypt and co are better than Iran and Iraq, etc. In fact, Iran has qualified for more World cups than Egypt. |
