Is CE THE ONLY ACTIVE FANS’ FORUM IN AFRICA?

[Damunk]

Traditionally I always like to monitor the pulse of rival fans before any major tournament, be it AFCON or the World Cup.
I’ve checked for fans’ forums and can’t find any.
Egyptian, Algerian, Tunisian….even common Ghana here, e be like di forum don kpoof.

Any ideas what is going on with these forums? It didn’t used to be like that.

What are our rivals saying? It’s always good to see what they are saying about our team, to get some kind of balanced perspective.

Happy New Year, all.

European football is gradually swallowing African football. Even with Nigerian football CE is one of the last holdouts. The only person I could find to discuss the AFCON preparations, lists etc is my Croatian ex-colleague who follows football worldwide. Other people just say, "forget about the SE" and switch to the Premier League

Happy New Year

In big tournaments I sometimes check on Big Soccer Forum, not as many posters as here with regards to African football. Reading the comments there, it seems rate Nigeria higher simply because Rhor is gone which for me seems counter intuitive. However people did not that Rhor held the team back in an attacking sense. We still seem to hold an Aura and I did not know out of the 18 Afcons we have been in, we have placed in 15 of them.

What about this?

It has been around as long as I have known CE.

Seems active. First time I have checked it out in years though, heck maybe 10 years or so.

I follow national football teams on their subreddit, I think the Egyptians have theirs... Camfoot seems to be the only active football forum I know aside from CE.

Abeg, kindly post any links.
I need to monitor what everyone is saying.
I tried to find Egyptian forums but failed.

Why wouldn't it be? The 5 people that keep the place active aint git no gaddem job. Kongi and Bigpokey alone contribute to 90% of the activity here.

And you Uncle Damunkey, can we see your pay stub as proof of employment?

What you don’t know and what I’ve always hesitated to tell you is that I own the cab company you work for.
Check the fine print of your contract.

Camfoot is long dead… The French forum never really took off while the English one seemed to die out with the secession movement (my guess as I noticed less & less traffic around then & since seems completely void these days)… The « toli » on camfoot has become strictly a tribal political battle between Yaounde origin & Douala origin Cameroonians. Simply put : Camfoot no longer has a football discussion board.

I occasionally visit dzfoot; in the past DRC’s - unsure how active that is now (https://www.leopardsfoot.com/phpBB/)… There used to be a North African one that imo was the best & most active forum on all things African football (I got banned from it & can’t find the link anymore…

Like someone said, European football is slowly killing all facets of the local game. There really isn't much of a buzz in Lagos for this Afcons. Hopefully things improve when the tournament proper starts.

Don’t say it too loudly. It is not a very good testimonial for Africans


Cheers.

It’s partially European football becoming more dominant but it’s mostly that popular social media websites like facebook, instagram and reddit have swallowed up forums ans discussion boards in general.

Nicely put, Niyi. How forums like CE and even Nairaland have continued to thrive des[ite the more dynamic social web you list is something worth celebrating.

Most of the forums have moved to Facebook .

I think on FB alone I am on at least 10 Super Eagles forums/Groups (I honestly stopped counting) which are very active .. . Other countries have similar forums
