Re: We are Witnessing a WATERSHED for the Respect of the AFCON....

I think the issue is that it's every two years. After all the Asian Cup is also in january but is every four years. So if you sign a player for 4 years, you'll be without them for a month inside the season twice over the course of the contract. However, i don't really have much sympathy for the club...

Re: Amidst the celebrations...

Amidst the cheer, I just want to point out that this is how Europe keeps winning world cups. Even in this tournament which was wide open, England still made it to the final 4 because they had an extremly easy draw. They had this draw because the FIFA ranking system determined that their matches aga...

Re: CAF needs to come up with an African soccer strategy

If we get 9 spots. I think it will be a great idea to go into a 12 team final qualification league format. This way every one will play each other. Teams will be better prepared if they play more games. 1. After three rounds of two legs matches. We get our 12 teams that will take part in the league...

No need to go that far.

He should come and tell us why a team with players who play in MLS, UAE and for Hull City made it through.

Re: Moving the Nations Cup was a mistake

where is the supporting evidence/data? 1994 is not good enough...give us more Senegal went all the way to the finals in 2002 and did well at the WC. What did Cameroon (winners) and Nigeria (3rd) do though? We can even discount Nigeria since the run up- post-Afcon and pre-world cup- was shambolic. 2...

Re: Rohr needs to f**k right off after this impotent effort

Re: Stoke City sign Etebo

It’s a good move. All things being equal there isn’t much difference between the bottom half of premiership and like the top 10 of the championship. It’s probably a slight step up in level of club from Feirense or Las Palmas. It’s a club that will be expected to do well not just make up the numbers....

Re: With Saudi Arabia, why 48 teams in the World Cup?

I’ve always felt that the qualifiers should be opened up. Do a playoff of say the bottom 40 teams to get to 180. 30 groups of 6 teams. Winners qualify. Runners up playoff for the remaining 15 spots. 45 teams as no doubt the United teams will get automatic qualification. 45+3= 48. -I think it would g...

Lol some people take their hatred of the U.K. To such an extent that they will defend the indefensible. Given that known UK hooligans have had their passports seized before every major tournament since 2000, I wonder which hooligans tried to fight the Russians. Hooliganism is more of a problem with ...
