FIFA talking to CAF about Afcon
WHAT SHALL BE SHALL BE SABI
Re: FIFA talking to CAF about Afcon
The biennial competition is good enough. The 4 year gap will not develop our football. We don't play that much friendly as the European or South Americans.
Inactivity will not be good for African teams and rankings.

Re: FIFA talking to CAF about Afcon
I totally agree but we must sort out the quality of our organisation as well, Cameroon had ample time to organise their drainage in time for the next Afcon but they didn’t even think about it despite the fact the last Afcon was taken off them as hosts, they made CAF look indecisive in their decision as they shouldn’t of changed it to the summer so early anyway!Caf also announced the last tournament was to change from 16 to 24 during the last qualifying campaign giving the weak hosts short notice to fix up.aruako1 wrote:I agree.

Because CAF seems disorganised and indecisive FIFA just don’t respect them hence their decision to host a 24 team World Club Cup a few weeks before the start of the Afcon, FIFA probably know that CAF are not exactly the most efficient or prepared federation out there so they’ll find it easy to point out their faults making it look as if CAF can’t evolve with out external advice!

Re: AFCON 2021 MOVED UP TO JANUARY!
I absolutely agree, there’s been no legacy and nations like Cameroon need a lot of time to prepare even if you give them an extra two years (as they were given) they still can’t get simple things like drainage sorted out!Bigpokey24 wrote:To be honest 4 years will make the tournament a lot me interesting...the 2 years thing hasn't done jack , money wise, ,fans, infrastructure etc....and to me moving the tournament to January sucks

Re: FIFA talking to CAF about Afcon
Some Africans don’t believe in innovation, even Tanzania have a national stadium with a roof that opens and closes, if they need help put the Chinese to use they are not hanging around for nothing!So you want this to carry on for the next 50 years and carry on making excuses about not learning how to deal with your own natural environment, Africans need pioneers and need to make simple changes and think a little you get what you pay for!01bakana wrote:some of you have been in obodo oyibo for too long, smh, drainage and African rain.

Hosting tournaments is a chance to leave a legacy, why carry on building cheap stadiums that are left for goats to graze in when you can have a long term home for sport?It’s not as if these useless governments invest in their people’s well being anyway so if the people need something to clap about and take their minds off the outright nonsense they witness daily why not?

Re: FIFA talking to CAF about Afcon
Why must Africa keep doing things just for the benefit of foreigners? How innovative or appropriate do you think it is for some of the poorest nations in the world to spend billions of dollars on stadiums with retractable roofs when 90% of their population will continue to starve to death, all for the convenience and pleasure of white massa Let’s use our heads for onceEaglezbeak wrote:Some Africans don’t believe in innovation, even Tanzania have a national stadium with a roof that opens and closes, if they need help put the Chinese to use they are not hanging around for nothing!So you want this to carry on for the next 50 years and carry on making excuses about not learning how to deal with your own natural environment, Africans need pioneers and need to make simple changes and think a little you get what you pay for!01bakana wrote:some of you have been in obodo oyibo for too long, smh, drainage and African rain.

Re: FIFA talking to CAF about Afcon
How about not hosting anything until you learn to look after your people and teach them how to build their nation to their specifications?Since Cameroon are hosting then why not do it to the best of their ability?When this tournament is over what will be the legacy?If 90% of the population are starving that explains why there will be empty stadia once again and it actually backs the reason to play these tournaments every 4 years since the nations involved are just not prepared to do it biannually,I’m just responding to whatever you’re opinion is as I don’t know what CAF will do eventually and like I’ve said Africans don’t seem to have a direction and you’ve stated the majority of them are starving!TonyTheTigerKiller wrote:Why must Africa keep doing things just for the benefit of foreigners?

How can building infrastructure be to the benefit of foreigners? I don't understand the logic.
If football can be played in the winter, snow and frozen pitches and all, we really have no excuse...

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini.

Re: FIFA talking to CAF about Afcon
We are not interested in that infrastructure! We are interested in bridges, railways, roads, dams etc etc. Go to Nigeria and majority of the infrastructure was built in the 60s/70s. Na life be that?txj wrote:

We are not interested in playing football in rain, winter, snow, frozen pitches or wet pitches. If you want to play in that condition, you can do it in your backyard! is it by force?? If oyibo wants to play in frozen pitches, good for them! Must we do what they do?If football can be played in the winter, snow and frozen pitches and all, we really have no excuse...
Peopel also forget that the oyibo who is playing under retractable roofs have already taken care of agriculture, education, good roads, security, etc etc and its the jara they are using to build retractable roofs. Yet, you guys want us to use our main funds to create an amusement park for you to be clapping at. Nigerians are the worst enemies of Nigeria. Tufiakwa!

You should read what you wrote above to fully appreciate the enormity of its stupidity!
Building a stadium with retractable roof is not the reason African countries cannot feed their populations. Even without such stadia as is currently the case, the same countries cannot feed their populations!

A few million on a stadium for Africans to us is nothing compared to billions spent abroad, if you dare to elaborate!
