Before the next AFCON...

Post by Tobi17 »

Before the next AFCON, a lot of African players or players of African roots would start trying to join their national team of origin.

This AFCON has been a great tournament.

For Nigeria, we will finally get a better chance to get most if not all our dual nationals especially when/if we are crowned champions of Africa tomorrow.

If CAF moves it to even years and let us assume they are fixated on having it in the summer as well, then think of the following:

1. Potential conflict with World Cup.
2. Potential conflict with Euro.

In any case, I trust that CAF have excellent planners that should think clearly about these things.
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

If they win, easier chance to go b2b as they probably wont that that huge of a turnover in the core of the squad
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14

I think Spain’s by far the best league.
