watching France Argentina. The history between these two is too tempting. Go France, down the racists.

FRANCE vs ARGENTINA...I think there was bad blood between these opponents. France won but you have to admire the superior play of Argentina.

This is funny. We are willing to support a very racist country over another very racist one, ostensibly, because their football team consists almost entirely of black players🤔❗️

Yes, because while not perfect the said racist country with black players have shown they have made some strides , albeit slow , to move in the right direction so that’s a no brainer

...the other racist country (France) accept blacks, and integrated them to play for their country vs the other racist country who don't include black people in their sports life. Now choose where to go live :biggrin:

So I’ll assume it that in a Euros or World Cup game you’d support England over France? :taunt:

Isn’t this the primary reason why Nigeria is at an impasse? We recognize that our government is supremely corrupt and inadequate but we won’t take a stand or act against it because our own people are the ones running the show. We desperately need to shed this destructive mentality of WE vs THEM🤔❗️

I don't see the connection between supporting France over Argentina with Nigeria being at impasse

I support a team for various reason and indeed their current racial society factors into it

In Rugbym in the 80s I supported France for their style of play while I detested South African (although they were one of the best) because of their racial composition. Now South Africa and France remain my favorite teams , mainly because SA has predominantly turned a corner

Again, I don't see how that relates to how Nigeria is as a sociery, but you better believe it, if Nigeria starts playing rugby even if they are the worst team on earth, they will be my number 1 team. Thats how I roll

Sure you do. It is the same attitude Nigerians a have towards their pilfering officials who are from their own ethnicity🤔❗️

Show me one black man in the Argentina team. America is still very much racist but I rather live here than in Argentina.

Morocco obliterates Egypt 6:0 to win the football bronze medal. This Olympic tournament reminds me of the 2016 games when the best team in the soccer tournament could only muster a bronze medal🤔❗️
