The potency of losing to lower opposition

Fifa never liked Algeria, imagine going on a 30+ unbeaten run coupled with winning the Afcon and yet still not top in Africa

Happy birthday to the Goat

mostob:
Agreed wholeheartedly. I'm sure some Europeans also voted for Mendy.

That's the point many of them voted him because they felt he deserved it

safarigirl:
We are talking about goal keepers here, please, stick to the position.

And so what?

safarigirl:
Exactly.

There have been multiple Donnarumas over the years, but there has not been a Mendy.

Finally, an African player is in prime position in world football, and still, some of his people decided to vote for the guy that it's just another award for his people.

I honestly think that some Africans choose to remain blissfully ignorant to how skewered the world is for them. They are literally at the bottom of the totem pole, and they still walk around thinking they have privileges others do and can afford to take chances other races do. You think white men got to the top by abandoning their own when it was time for a push?

They can afford to vote based on merit, because they are at that top and nobody is pushing them down, you wey still dey hustle wan come dey follow your senior dey do unbiased.

Anyway, I'm glad the right person won the award finally. He wasn't going to lose out on the award twice.

This will be good for other African goalies coming up and it will be a boost for their careers, from Onana to Okoye, one of their own has broken the ceiling and it will help give them the right boost to follow through. That is the most important thing in all this for me.

Leave that thing this is not the first or last time an African player will be included in Fifa the best Xi so if you are not a Chelsea or Senegal fan I don't see why you should care

safarigirl:
You cannot answer the question, because you know nobody would give an African player FIFA Best because he won his continental competition, but an European can get the award on that basis over someone that won more trophies in a more balanced competition.

You have answered the question, thank you for your time.

Miss me with the hypothetical bullsh1t, one question, has Mendy won the Afcon, no why are you even making it the point of the argument when it has not even happened, why don't you advocate for the keeper that has won the Caf Champions league to be on the same pedestal with Mendy since you care so much about Africa

safarigirl:
It is very funny that the only time black people remember that emotional blackmail is a thing, is when it is time for them toelevate one of their own.

I have never seen a race that is so Anti themselves outside of the Negroid race. Na why dem use their hand sell each other during slave trade. Some people just exist to sell out their people.

If you want to ruin a black man, call his brother.

You think elevating ourselves is disregarding our choices and making blind decisions instead of putting in performances that will dwarf our competitors shows how you think

You are the worst example of the anti- blackness you talk about, instead of being competitive and dominating no rather we use nepotism and blackmail and see how far it gets us smh

safarigirl:
Club World Cup. Mendy won the Club World Cup too

The EPL is also rated higher than the Serie A for a reason.

Once again, would Mendy have won this award if he had won the AFCON and come second in his league?

You are deviating and answering questions nobody asked you

Yes or No. Would they have given Mendy this award if he won the AFCON?

Oh I forgot the club world cup, very significant cup and why would I answer if Mendy has won the Afcon when he has not won it

safarigirl:
There is no metric he earned it that is higher than Mendy's

The only thing he won was literally the Euros.

Would Mendy have won that award if he won the AFCON and nothing else?

Answer this thing with clear mind

Donnarumma won the player of the tournament and won the Euros and finished 2nd in Seria A, Mendy won the Champions league and finished 4th in the premier league, I don't know what metric you are using but my metric tells me that Donnarumma deserves it more than Mendy and if not for the rant Mendy went on when Donnarumma won it at the ballon d'or he would have won it again at Fifa the best, you are now blackmailing North Africans for not voting Mendy like if Bono was in a similar situation you would have cared and stop comparing Euros and the Afcon they are not on the same pedestal

BascoVanVeli:
Mendy would easily walk away with it going by what u just said. If our over 50 members vote for Mendy, Europe will split votes on Donnarumma and Neuer. Mendy and Africa win.

Who is splitting votes on Donnarumma and Neuer, my point is allow people to vote who they want and stop emotional blackmail

BascoVanVeli:
U are the one who wants them to vote blindly. We want them to open their eyes and see that Unless we stick together in player votings we won't win much.

If everybody sticks to their clan do you think any African player would win an European dominated vote, let everybody vote their choice that way an unjaundiced and deserving winner will emerge

safarigirl:
Did anybody say anything about blindly voting every African?

This was specifically in relation to Mendy, and there is no criteria that Mendy was not deserving of that award, being African should have also boosted his chances with Africans.

What they did is akin to robbing your brother of something he earned, just so you won't seem biased. It is self-sabotage and it is the same thing we just mentioned about how Africans cannot work together, because they are sellouts

Mendy earned that award by every metric, and his own people still voted against him.

Donnarunma earned that award by every metric if we are arguing by footballing merits he was the best player at Euros and had a stellar season now its up to the discretion of the voters to choose who had a better season this your argument about robbing your brother is emotional blackmail and nepotism and it is not a good way of convincing anybody that Mendy deserved the award, if at the end his performance convinced majority that he had a better year so be it but trying to hold people hostage on their votes is not it

safarigirl:
So, Zimbabwe's Captain voted for Alisson over Mendy in that FIFA Best award, no wonder they are chopping bottom of the table at AFCON. No football brain, no brotherly feelings. Just otu players

Other African nations that showed their asses

Salah is more dedicated to club than continent, the eleribu voted Alisson
Tunisia's Captain, another idiot that voted Neuer
Namibia's Captain too, a whitewashed idiot voted Donnaruma
Uganda's Captain, a Mumu and more, voted Donnaruma.
Malawi's captain, na Senegal go deal with them today, that one too, voted Donnaruma.
Angola's Captain, another otondo, voted for Donnaruma

We suppose gather these useless people, flog them, especially that hating mumu Salah.

Nawa o, people don't have freedom to vote again, just because they are from Africa they must blindly vote every African contestant?

andrewbaba44:
Why explaining to us if there was any need to even watch it ?

Stop being stupid .

Na here be your father's house to tell me what to explain, you quoted me twice on what you have not watched and you expect me to take you serious

andrewbaba44:
E just Dey contradict himself

You know wetin be contradiction?

andrewbaba44:
You described the celebration and I followed up

There is nothing serious about it and you have been making noise here ?

I have been cool on you for some time ,so don’t be stupid .

Why you dey follow me up on something you have not watched, if you want to talk on something atleast make sure you have watched it and stop displaying your ignorance

Stormtrooper11:
You said it was "disturbing". That implies it is a serious issue.

Yea it was disturbing but did I call for the player to be banned or anything, it was just an immoral gesture that the player should be warned about

andrewbaba44:
Nothing serious Oga

Abi him carry gun form stadium

I know you have not watched the celebration your own na just open mouth talk, besides did I say there was something serious about it?

Fabuloski:
Rooney celebrated at the league boxing the air. When are we Africans stop caring about what other people think about us? It's almost as if you guys have lost hope of having a mind of your own. Africa's image indeed� Image judge based on European benchmark.

Are you trying to compare boxing in the air and holding a gun to the face and covering the mouth, do they hold the same moral implications to you, what is bad is bad stop trying to justify bad behavior

safarigirl:
I was arguing with two less informed individuals on Twitter who claimed the AFCON is disappointing and of bad quality

You can tell who is watching AFCON games this year, and who is waiting for SkySports and their WhatsApp friends to upload 1 minute embarrassing clips.

Well Skysports is hellbent on displaying the gaffes and the scandals of the tournament instead of the play itself

Grozny:
Why do you folks get so easily offended??

Why are you implying violence when you just scored in a match, this is disturbing and it is not good for Africa's image

This Cape Verde guy just scored and did a gun to the head and hand covering the mouth celebration, very disturbing

Onana has been messing up this Afcon

People that say this Afcon is boring didn't see the last one

safarigirl:
Aboubakar with his fifth goal of the tournament

Na wa

He has already equalled Ighalo’s tally of 5 goals last Afcon

IDENNAA:
Yes , a national hero because he captained the U17 to world glory.....do you have comprehension or memory loss?

What does that have to do with the Afcon that we are playing?

DarkJeddi:
A mishit shot that was nevertheless heading towards goal?

A mishit shot that he actively had to stuck out a leg to block?

You can spin it however you want..

Your biasness oozes from a mile off..

He should have allowed the ball enter the net na since he came for jamboree, what is your point sef
