Mark23: They drag out so as not to get caught up to the manga. Sometimes it could be one chapter they use to stretch out a whole episode....its crazy Everyone and their mother knows a series as gigantic as one piece deserves a better anime The current wano arc seems to have a better animation, which most youtubers are agreeing on. But the best experience will always be the manga ......chapter 949 and counting |

You think aina will start ahead of youcef atal for them?.... The fact that you don't know their players doesn't make your own suddenly better...let's not jump to quick assumptions abeg 5 Likes |

DrKlever: I don't know if they did....but this isn't even their toughest game....aside from Mandi's handball...we were controlled with ease....they didn't have to do much....no antics no nothing Our 2 man midfield was well probed today.....if south Africa had done this properly they would have likely won the match |

forgiveness: Unbelievable Our players were crap....this is an Algerian team who played a day after Nigeria, went to war with ivory coast and played extra time....and our midfield was fatigued? They were so heavy...Algeria won most of the second balls....passing was poor and ighalo was blunt We were terrible....and deserved to be beaten....congrats to Algeria Otedola and dangote should invest in grassroot football...not to promise 75,000 for each goal 2 Likes 1 Share |

darkelf: Oyo is your case..... Maybe you think I'm hyping up Algeria or whatever. But as I have said repeatedly, oga boutabout said Nigeria doesn't have big name players. Im saying he probably assumes this because he doesn't know nigerian players as he thinks I went further to say that what boutabout is doing is how most casuals look at a match and judge immediately once they see players they can recognise in one team....that such a team will beat the other with lesser known or unknown players. I also said that even his team is not that great but because he knows players in his team and he doesn't know those in ours, he is sure Algeria will win....I was looking at his mindset in how he arrived at this assumption If you left this and started focusing on the 'epistle', it means you have time....and you should have gleaned from what I'm saying that boutabout is only being ignorant of the full picture 1 Like |

darkelf: Obviously because I don't care who does My point exactly....in case you got lost...was that some countries have more popular players than others....this is what makes others to believe that if a heavyweight meets a lesser country...the heavyweight will win most of the time Whether the popular players are actually better than those from lesser countries....for example whether Jesse lingard is better than onyekuru, is anybody's guess...but many casuals will go with lingard to perform on the day ahead of onyekuru, because they know who lingard is and where he plays...as opposed to onyekuru It is why we were labelled favourites against Madagascar....we had better players who are more popular I said that I'm guessing that's what influenced boutabout to say what he said...because he knows his own players and doesn't really know ours Whether Algerians oo or polish people know football more isn't really my concern...I'm only trying to establish a theory as to why boutabout feels confident of his nations chances due to the fact that according to him...Nigeria does not have 'big name' players 2 Likes |

elyte89: Lol...we are saying the same thing He mentioned exceptions in his quote, Spanish dutch English Germans Brazil etc....players from these countries are known universally in football spheres....I used examples of Spain england and Germany...obviously I didn't use Finland or republic of Ireland or others...they are not as popular Oya let's call a random villager from india and ask him who he knows between neymar and sadio mane...he will most likely say neymar...whether neymar is better than mane is up to you to decide...but this Indian might assume neymar is better than mane because he is more popular....and this is what leads other people to assume a country will beat another country in a tournament.. Average random people all over the world concluded Germany will beat south Korea in world cup.... Ah ozil ah kroos...ah muller....he go kill them....ah Phillip lahm was here...them get players die They came to south korea and could only think of son being min and ki sun yeung...wetin dem sabi?

darkelf: That's strange.... How do you know that? Have you lived there? Do you go from house to house in Warsaw...interviewing every family and asking whether they follow football or not? Your insistence is vague....you can't say for sure whether an average Nigerian fan knows football more than an average polish fan.... But let's assume Nigerians actually know football more than polish fans....Nigeria is about to play a match with England in the world cup We call random citizens from us Venezuela Honduras north Korea Canada Sweden...and we ask them to name players from england or Nigeria off hand....from which country will they name more? What ever your answer is...will it affect the interviewed person's opinion whether england will win or Nigeria will win? If it does or doesn't, give yourself a huge round of applause My question was never about who knew more between casual polish and Nigerian football fans |

andrew444: Of course.....which means when ever a country with more popular players meets another with less in a tournament...casual fans, pundits and bookmakers often give it to the country with more popular players, not accounting for other factors like team spirit or drive which may help the smaller football country to win.... A random person in Algiers won't know chuks or ighalo because they aren't popular there...boutabout must have looked at Nigeria and may have concluded based on the 'popularity' of our players, that Nigeria doesn't have game changers or match winners Let's not go too far...when we played Madagascar we looked at the team to know what they were all about...many including me assumed that Madagascar couldn't do anything to Nigeria... We didn't know them at all and many of us thought it may be a routine 1 or 2 nil win Look at how that turned out 1 Like |

He is not English, but he will name more English players than Nigerian players....why is that? Who mentioned anything about passionate Nigerian supporters? Or packed viewing centres?

andrew444: Lol...you get the point...their leagues are popular and people from all over the world play in them. Assuming all our nigerian players were regular starters in these clubs in top popular leagues, boutabout will be going to toilet every 60 secs But he has looked at our team and he is saying there aren't much big name players and so he is confident Algeria will defeat them....he doesn't realise his own players aren't well known like that...but because say na afcon we dey...person gast raise shoulder That's how most people...sometimes even you and I....use as a yardstick in determining whether a team will come out victorious over another |

Danielnino00: Nope....I can't....but the polish citizen who watches football and you the African, can name at least 5 English or Spanish players....like I said...these are casual fans and will only know the top performers in top leagues Onyekuru and osimhen are quality players....but I'm only telling you that their clubs and we as Nigerians are the ones who know so.....others, not so much...(boutabout obviously in this category) 2 Likes |

darkelf: I mean polish fans who watch football know a lot of players from Spain england and Germany because of their leagues....they may not know all....but I'm sure they know of most....they watch the champions league too The league itself and the clubs players play for in these 'elyte' leagues (no pun intended).....go a long way in deciding popularity....once a country who has them is facing a country who doesn't.....the latter will be seen as underdogs while the former will be seen as favourites...because they have more popular players It may make people to likely assume that Eric Bailly or sol bamba is better than cheick komara or kanon, just because the former two play for man u and Cardiff respectively |

Nedville: There is a guy on YouTube, DZ football an English guy of Algerian descent who follows the premier league He was previewing the match between Algeria and Nigeria....he praised bounedjah belaili bennacer ounas mahrez guediora as well as the whole team to high heavens When it came to Nigeria, all he said was that he was expecting a tough match. he said he likes chukwueze...then went forward to name Mikel iwobi and ndidi as their key men.... He concluded by saying eagles lost to Madagascar and have not been stellar in this tournament...he mentioned the fact that we didn't qualify for the past two editions...that he was expecting a tough but controlled win...and that eagles wouldn't cause much problems to them As a Nigerian watching his video, I was surprised he didn't truly know what we are capable of....but he is only going by off hand knowledge of Nigerian players because he doesn't know them of course, since he isn't a nigerian, he is not obliged to know all of them either I'm saying this to apply this logic to some of us who think Algerians don't have players and that we can walk over them like paper, just because we don't know them or we haven't heard of them. This guy will be surprised as to what Nigerians will do....as will the rest of africa 8 Likes |

andrew444: Alright, substitute Poland with, England, Spain or Germany Quality of the player is not what I'm debating, but popularity Many of us can predict the starting line up of england and Spain before a world cup or euros....maybe even their second teams and bench....guess what...the polish can do so.. A number of popular players in a team always sways bookmakers into deciding who is favourite and who is not While we know European players and our own players....we don't know players in other countries except the popular ones...bout about probably thinks the same That is African football generally 3 Likes |
