Re: Klopp - AFCON is "some little tournament in Africa"
He's not calling AFCON a little tournament. You need to understand the context of the conversation which is about international breaks and it being a disruption. It's matter of speak of the English language. It's like saying "oh yea, and don't forget about this as well..." If you don't understand the context of the word little here, I can't help you o.

Exactly. Context is everything except you have a preconceived agenda...
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Re: Klopp - AFCON is "some little tournament in Africa"
This is pathetic. I see The Usual Suspects are out in full force again, arguing blindly.
A non-native speaker of English correctly uses an English idiom and another non-native English speaker misunderstands him. The ignorant brother ‘Broda Babatunde’ challenges him based on his own poor grasp of another man’s language and then begins strutting about the internet feeling funky.
Then a bunch of equally non-native speakers start a racial WW3 based on their own limited understanding of Oyibo man’s language as correctly used by the non-native Oyibo man and then turn on their own more informed brothers accusing them of racial subservience for understanding the language and its usage better!

Re: Klopp - AFCON is "some little tournament in Africa"
You explained it much better than I did above. I can't believe that someone can't understand the context of the word "little" in this instance even with a limited knowledge of the English language and it's use of irony. As for that Babatunde journalist, I'm one for protecting our own, but I have heard him many times in LFC press conferences and he asks the most ridiculous questions. I actually cringe every time he asks a question and that makes me sad to say that as a fellow Nigerian.Damunk wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 8:20 am This is pathetic.
