NORTH AFRICANS SNUB NATIONS CUP
Poor attendance at the games in Tunisia has once again shown the contempt with which our north African 'brothers' view black Africans.
Re: NORTH AFRICANS SNUB NATIONS CUP
Poor attendance does not show contempt, it shows that people in most African countries don't have the disposible income for such activities. Most people will pay to see their country but not someone else. Afterall, when Nigeria hosted in 2000, there was poor attendance in games that did not involve Nigeria. I don't think you will suggest that Nigerian's had contempt for Africans. I will not be surprised, however, if Nigerian games have a big attendance because of the array of stars on parade.ROSSIKE wrote:Poor attendance at the games in Tunisia has once again shown the contempt with which our north African 'brothers' view black Africans.

This craze man don come again. If you watched the ANC the last time it was staged in Tunisia, it was the same thing. I will argue it was even worse because the home country was knocked out in the group stages. It is nothing new, unless you are watching it here for the first time.
With your wack theories, I nor go surprise if you nor be guest of her majesty back then.

Arsène Wenger at Arsenal, 1996 to 2018. I was there.
not frankly the brothers, I 'm Moroccan and I can say to you that the nord africans aren't as that... we are the same ones, we regard ourselves as African and brothers with you... they are false ideas that you have ....
I would even say that sometimes it is the opposite, us are not regarded as African truths because we are white, but what is the difference??? none

Naija Fan,
There was hardly any case of poor attendance in matches played in Nigeria in CAN2000.In fact almost all the venues had full capacity attendance.Calabar,Kano and PH in particular.
In TUNIS 1994, it was the same case of poor attendance in almost all the group matches.
And yet the same North Africans are bidding to host the World Cup.FIFA cannot afford to give the hosting of the World cup to North Africa.It will be a colossal error.

In all things and every situation, give thanks to God.

Most of the Fans at Morocco, Algeria & Egyptian games aren't Tunisians but nationals of those countries living in Tunisa.
If the ANC was in Nigeria and I was on N100,000 a year, would I pay say N1000 to go and watch Kenya vs Rwanda? I seriously doubt it, that sort of behaviour is a recipe for instant divorce. Neither would I be able to tell Madam that I was heading off to Tunis to follow the super eagles, at least not with my own money and that is a fact of life for most Africans, Northern or Sub-Saharan!
One of the big problems of African soccer are the fans are relatively poor, and away fans rarely travel privately to games, so poor atendance in competiotns are a fact of life. It is one of the reasons why African Club competitions can't yet be played in neutral venues
