Ahmad's PayBack Time: Cameroon May be Stripped of 2019

Post by Enugu II »

The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

Switching to every four years is not a good idea, but perhaps they have their reasoning for wanting to make the switch. Let's wait and see what the reasons are. On the other hand, why wanting to change the AFCON tournament to June? Is June not raining season for many West African nations?
And the BIBLE says: The race is NOT for the swift, neither is the battle for the strong nor ... but time and chance makes them all.
Ecclesiastes 1:18: For in much wisdom is much grief and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow.

They had stated the reasons prior to Ahmad's election and it is clearly kowtowing to UEFA and FOFA. This was part of the deal with FIFA. The stated reasons is because of club v country conflict and having all the Confederations have their nations cup in the same cycle and month. Unfortunately, they did not address the weather or the financial doubts.

It will happen. One major issue I have is the cost of hosting 24 teams may be too high for many countries atm. If four venues can still be used then it's good.

I remember making these suggestions years ago regarding switching to the summer and having it in odd years. Yujam and I had a lengthy argument about it and I told him it was only a matter of time.

Four year cycle is good. We have the CHAN to substitute every other year.

True, especially COSAFA & CECAFA. UNAF/UAFA is quite busy too. WAFU currently not very active .

Every 4 years, and teams like Cameroon and Egypt won't boast of winning it 10 times :taunt: :taunt: :taunt:

Kai, so Ghana only gets one tiny chance every four years to end their winless streak?
