I don't think Algeria were ranked 4th before the tournament

Danielnino00:
On penalties..
You do realize that a game lost on penalty shoot out doesn't count as a lose? I'm very sure you don't know..

You go about recording gaffes of the year, but the thread is littered with many false information from your end including your nonsensical "unpopular opinion"....

safarigirl:
Yes

Yes

Exactly this

When we won AFCON did we become number one in Africa? When Zambia won AFCON, did they become number one in Africa?

Danielnino00:
Bro, save your strength...That guy can be so unreasonable..
I used to fault the FIFA ranking method myself until I took time to study it...
All the countries are well aware of how it's works that's why the smart ones use it to their advantage..

Danielnino00:
What about the games they drew?

You don't know how the ranking works at all..

It's simple, the amount of points u lost from losing a game depends on how low your opponent is behind you in the world ranking..
If draw with an opponent ranked below you, you lost points too..

Algeria were able to overtake us in the ranking after we drew twice with Sierra Leone..Those two draws cost us points...

Danielnino00:
Which Algeria were 4th before the last AFCON?
You earlier said Morocco crashed out in the group stage of the last AFCON..

You don't know what you are saying at all..

Danielnino00:
They lost to a team ranked 114 in the world in a competition like the AFCON!

Morocco didn't eclipse anything.They were far ahead of Algeria in the ranking before they won the 2019 AFCON...All the points Algeria gathered in the 2019 AFCON wasn't enough to overtake Morocco...And Morocco were equally in form after AFCON.....

dkay51:
the calculation is based on an average of a four year run, so its not exactly a direct addition or subtraction, its an average of your performances over the last four years.

andrewbaba44:
Baba ,you explained earlier and I understand you ,trust me

But this thing Dey somehow ,reason am nah

I didn’t mean that FIFA dash teams rankings anyhow ,that point is just too much just because they lost to EG ,they deserve to retain their position at least .

Danielnino00:
Exactly.. Whatever point they gathered from winning the AFCON wasn't enough to rank them first in Africa because the teams ranked ahead of them at that time also gathered enough points to keep the gap reasonable...

dkay51:
Check the formula and digest it first, you cant argue with mathematics nobody is conjuring numbers from FIFA's POV.

Grozny:
Cause winning a bunch of friendlies against minnows is meaningless. Continental comps far outweigh friendlies so this drop makes sense.

Danielnino00:
There are rules guiding how the FIFA ranking works... It's not like FIFA decide to rank certain teams based on how they play.. The ranking is mathematical... There's a formula and the results are calculated according to the formula...

andrewbaba44:
Walai it doesn’t make sense

Just because they lost to Equatorial Guinea they dropped with so many points

Algeria still deserved to be number 1 in Africa

safarigirl:
I am using him to justify a Nigerian player.

If you're crushing on Maduka that is on you, stop using me to project your true feelings please. Take it to his DMs .

Daninya33:
Probably he is acting based on what he has heard from Moses Simon or his sources in the glasshouse.
Amongst all the footballers that have emerged from Kaduna state, the likes of Ambrose Efe, Simon Moses,Sadiq Umar, Chrisantus Macaulay etc Only Simon Moses is closest then Sadiq Umar.
Dude is one of the best sports journalist in Nigeria.He was in South Africa 2010 as a reporter.He also won the best sport journalist in Nigeria 2020
He will spill more as it concerns his friend.
Hahahaha
Dude is mouthed.

Grozny:
The potency of losing to lower opposition

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
