CAMNEWTON4PRES: I agree, the world cup is nothing but a white supremacist show/event It is I agree but that is because Sepp Blatter remains in power, who by the way is a racist. Blame African reta.rded leaders for accepting his bribes and re-electing him |

CAMNEWTON4PRES: No offence to Neymar, but I think he is overrated. Sorry to him though about his world cup departure. Eto'o Fils has bigger accomplishments for all time. |

CAMNEWTON4PRES: You get slots based on points, and how far your teams go in the tournament. - Compare the number of European teams that have won the world cup to Africa. - Compare the number of European teams that have made the finals to Africa. - Compare the number of European teams that have made the semi finals to Africa. - Compare the number of European teams that have made the quarter finals to Africa. You'll have an argument when African teams start winning the world cup. Apart from Oceania, Africa's performance at the world has always been woeful, compared to other continents. Asians can boast about making the semis in 2002. Ditto North Americans, with the yanks. |

abatically:i think u ve a point there. Though we knw fifa as game people but when a team do their work well dey cant be stopped. Was it fifa dat denied Gyan penalty to put african in their first ever semi final. Wen nigeria won olympics were they denied the cup. We just need to give our best.

shymexx:. Iolzz, I agree, African football is all muscle and no brains, African players fighting over money, its disgaceful... If an injury to a player like onazi can destabilize the entire team and make a defender score an own goal, it says a lot about the team mentality.. If assou ekotto can headbutt his co player on the world stage... It stinks... On the other hand, if Fifa considers investigating the challenge on neymar, they should also do dame for onazi...

Fun thread.....and once again the usual Blame the whiteman. Now,look......racisim exists....and I am sure it exists too in the hallowed halls of FIFA (As an example....go read the story of how the late former CAF chairman Mr Tessema fought with the then Stanley Rous FIFA for even Africa to get one guaranteed spot.) Let's be honest.....FIFA since Joao Havelange 's tenure began in 1974 has been fair to Africa. Why, we have the u17 tournament......which was specifically biased towards African teams. We have the Goal project....which Blatter specifically stated was ''For developing countries only'' So why haven't we done well at the world cup? Because after the youth tournaments.....the European and South American players go home and continue developing their tactical and skill base. The Nigerians and other Africans think that now is the time to make money.....so they pose like big boiz! Plus, European countries in particular have extensive youth football programmes. It is not surprising that Germany.....with nearly 2000 UEFA grade B youth coaches,and Holland, the home of Ajax's super youth system ,are in the World cup semis. How about Brazil and Argentina? Same thing. How many Nigerian clubs have a Ajax type youth system.....that would train players from the age of 8 to be good in football skills (There is the son of a family friend who left Naija with his family 20 years ago.....nowadays he works for a top Premier league club....teaching the 8 year olds dribbling skills. Tell me....which Nigerian club does that). If we want to do well in the world cup.....we better follow what Belgium did.....and focus on quality of players....instead of winning trophies that mean nothing.We may not win the world cup immediately.....but we will get there. 3 Likes |

shymexx: We started taking part in that kkk exhibition in the 70s if I'm not mistaken, so you can't compare their performance with ours, furthermore, our slots used to b smaller than what we have now, and I'm not even mentioning how the referees are always against us Cameroon vs England And the lack of competitiveness during the qualification stage in the euro zone Imagine a world cup where Moldova, feroe island, Macedonia etc were to represent Europe do you think they would have fared better ? Not to mention how woefully their top teams fared this world cup, yet no one is pointing fingers at them or asking for their slots to b reduced, why should Africa b judged by the poor performance of Cameroon? 1 Like |

Fulaman198: Guy u for relax na. Neymar is only 22 and he is already carrying the whole of Brazil at the world cup. He still has at least 10 more years to play and he is only going to get better. Wait until he has passed his best before u compare him with Eto'o. |

Although terming it "racist" is going too far... Word. All the news of players fighting about wages were all about African teams. ![]() Also, I'll always reference how both Ghana and Ivory coast collapsed in the last 15 mins. That was just some crazy shyte right there, and I won't be surprised if they actually fixed those games especially the Ghana gk that punched the ball to a Portuguese player. Yet we blame FIFA. With Nigeria, no one asked Enyeama to come out for a ball he should never have come out for. His decision making killed that game, and you can't even blame no one for that. Anyway, I think the only reason why Neymar's case was looked into has more to do with his star-power and host country cries. C'mon, most Brazilians were crying when they found out that he's out of the world cup. So, people need to understand that it's also a business - and FIFA had to do that to protect its brand, and for fans not to boycott the tournament. Onazi isn't Neymar...the world cup isn't in naij...and I don't even think naij FA lodged any complaint. 2 Likes |

Rossikki: another problem we have as africans. why are you attacking the messenger instead of the message. i dont see any reason why we should be whining over that tackle on Onazi. Personally it happens all the time in football, so we should just move on. I probably would have a different opinion if the boys we are talking about played superbly like Costa Rica or colombia but super eagles, taaaa. If you boycott the world cup, trust me nobody will miss Africa especially if its over something petty like this. smudge2079: Please africans, lets stop playing victim.

Re: Opinion: Africa Should Boycott The Next World Cup by Nobody: 4:19pm On Jul 08, 2014 |
CAMNEWTON4PRES: Yes, because most African countries became independent in the 60s. I believe Egypt played in the first world cup, in the 1930s or something. Also, the slot grew as African teams started performing better at the world cup. I've seen clips of Zaire at the 1974 world cup and how they conceded about 50 goals or something. The renaissance started with Algeria in 86, when they were cheated out...and Cameroon put Africa on the map at the Italia 90 world cup, and I believe they increased the African slots to 3 afterwards.. Nigeria took it further by playing well at 94, thus increasing it to 5. And since then, we've been stuck at 5. The funniest thing is that: Africa has never had more than one team in the round of 16, yet you want them to increase the slots. Why so? |
Re: Opinion: Africa Should Boycott The Next World Cup by Nobody: 4:20pm On Jul 08, 2014 |
hermesprogidy: I think Africa's slot should be reverted to three. May be then we would see well prepared and drilled African teams, and if it's boycott, nobody will miss African teams. I disagree with you on the bolded - Africans will miss African teams. ![]() 1 Like |

thegoodjoehunt: After increasing it to 32, Fifa should not have increased the African slot and filled it up with only European teams, so Ibrahimovic and Lewandowski can play.You must be a kid ...argue to learn, you fail to see what the other guy is saying. The truth of the matter is: you are just crying foul for no good reason. Cos before you embark on any discourse pertaining to bias,injustice or what have you ...how will you rate the performance of African countries in the last 3 World Cups?. You bunch are way too hypocritical .... #All is Well |

CAMNEWTON4PRES: The thing is Europe is over-represented. They are not really good at football. Look at Spain, England, Italy, etc all first round exits. What about Portugal? Since we live in a Eurocentric brainwashed world, European teams are always overrated every single world cup. The only good European teams are Germany and Netherlands. Belgium is coming up. FIFA 14 completely overrates European teams and underrates African teams, it makes me not want to buy another EA sports FIFA game ever again. African players are talented, the problem is and has always been organization. Nigeria's team improved with every match in the world cup, which tells me they didn't have enough team practise. 1 Like |
