Gambia has 5 Serie A league players. That is almost half their team playing in one of the toughest leagues in Europe.
Musa Barrow – Bologna
Ebrima Colley – Spezia (on loan from Atalanta)
Omar Colley – Sampdoria
Ebrima Darboe – Roma
Lamin Jallow – Vicenza (on loan in Hungary)
...and in Serie B
Musa Juwara – Crotone
Gambians don't have players in Liverpool, Manchester, Munich or Chelsea, which is the case for Senegal, Egypt, and Ivory Coast. The biggest clubs are Roma or possibly Sampdoria.

...defending champion Algeria beating by a minnow Equatorial Guinea.
Shades of 1990 Cameroon beating a defending champ Argentina.

This Algeria is not the same team physically or mentally that won it all in 2019.
Secondly, You are actually depriving EQG and their coach and players from this win by making it seem that it was all Rohrs fault.
You guys need to get over your Rohr hatred. It is super childish.
Besides football at this level is not as simple as you are making out to be.
So, no point arguing with you.

In fairness, he did say this Algerian defeat was worse, considering they are the defending champs.
Also, they had a 29 match unbeaten streak stopped be Equatorial Guinea... (of all teams!)
At least, Naija should no longer be the laughing stock at AFCON...

This loss by the Algerians is worse than any of our losses on the hands of the minnow teams. Na wa-ooo!

Re: AFCON: Algeria vs Equatorial Guinea 0-1 (FT)
Well Belmadhi just experienced the biggest Afcon loss in my memory. Don’t say Naija v Madagascar. We were not defending champions, nor had 22 game unbeaten streak, no had a player the caliber of Mahrez. Belmadhi by this loss must suck balls. He should be fired!

Up until their loss, they were African champions and had gone on a 35/36 game unbeaten run with very impressive performances.
The same could have been said of Rohr's team.
I have always maintained in my opinion Rohr was not a good fit for Nigeria. He was excellent at unmasking talents and building the depth of the Eagles going forward, for that I remain thankful. He was however useless at maximizing the talent at his disposal.
He lost to Central African Republic, Madagascar and threw away a very big lead at home to SL.
When the current Algerian coach does the same, he becomes unfit in my view to continue to coach the Algerians. If he fails to lead his team out of the group stage, he should be sacked.
A lot of us argued for Rohr's sacking after the WC. I also argued against the timing of his sacking the moment the powers that be decided he should stay on.
I have repeatedly pointed out that Rohr conducted the cos impressive WCQ campaign the Eagles have executed to date.
Along the line, his team stagnated and he kept repeating some of the same errors even when he was winning. That was the reason why many (at least I speak for myself) were against his continued stay.
Despite my misgivings, I would not have advocated of this dismissal on the eve of a competition bearing in mind our history in this regard. I may very well be wrong and Eguavoen's appointment may prove to be a master stroke, in which case the NFF should be congratulated for a calculated risk. We will however have to wait and see.
I am not an Algerian but if this team fails to at least reach the semis, the current coach should be sacked. That is up to the Algerians however. They have a WCQ ahead of them, they get to decide about the timing or whatever of that decision if at all they want to sack or keep the man.
No follower of football will argue that it is mathematics. Even the best team can have an off day and be beaten by an inferior opposition.
The issue is when there is a pattern of underperformance....that is all some of us have argued about Mr. Rohr.
God bless and keep Nigeria and make his face shine on her undeserving as she may be.

Re: AFCON: Algeria vs Equatorial Guinea 0-1 (FT)
Belmadi got hired as coach of Algeria two or so years after Rohr, yet he won the 2019 Afcon on first attempt, inspired his team to play far more productive football, had an impressive unbeaten steak, inspired his team win the Arab cup through his assistant... Rohr got a head-start ahead of Belmadi yet could only boast of golden bronze and a ton of embarrassing losses to minnows on his resume... Rohr is Belmadi's biaTch any day and time, I can bet all my life savings that we would have lost this match under Rohr had we faced Algeria.Lolly wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 10:18 pmIs he now a bad coach?kawawa wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 10:16 pm Well Belmadhi just experienced the biggest Afcon loss in my memory.
