As much as people are criticizing carraghah, objectively he voiced the thoughts of most European judges, journalists and agents regarding Afcon. To Africans, afcon is a big tournament but to the European judges and agents, afcon isn’t a major tournaments in the rank of a World Cup, EU or champions league and all the backlash wouldn’t change it. This is a tournament that, Egypt won thrice in a row and none of its players won the APOY during that period.
Spain won the world cup and Euro Cup at one time,and none of its players were considered for World best or ballon d'or. Meaning world cup and Euro is not a major tournament. Make we all begin reason anyhow.

Football is a funny game. Is nwabali of nigeria and south african league better than onana of Manchester united. To be honest nwabali looks better if you watch him play. Judging European based players as better is only right 75% of the time and it even depends on the circumstances. Getting to Europe depends on exposure, having a good agent etc. Mohammed aboutrika, segun odegbami, etc great african players that did not play in Europe might be better than some European based players. Football like life us subjective and is not in black and white. Stuff happens. We even have a winger called ajayi that has won everything will al ahlibif Egypt. I can say with all confidence that a good african league like psl, moroccan league etc is better than any league outside the top 20 of Europe. Fir leagues ranked 10 to 20, a good african league might be on the same level or even better.
That's how life works. I know people will disagree but life is not this simole. Beside, if we all thoughtbthe same way life will be boring and unproressive

That set has no excuse to not have managed other NTs on the continent.

There's Liberia & Sierra Leone which a little political lobby can land for them.

Aliou Cisse is not even who they should emulate…Keshi should be a big role model to emulate…A Nigerian coach who used the smaller teams to make a big name for himself and then became super eagles coach….Cisse already use Senegal to build his CV which is same thing some of our legend are trying to do…Reason why they are lurking around

Simple. That's why the last awards looked like a scam, despite Vinicius's brilliance and performance.

Vinicius was not better than Rodri. Rodri was a pillar for Manchester City and the best player of the Euros. Why do people think Vinicius deserved it over Rodri beats me. Rodri was consistent all round.

From the first match I watched him play, Bruno Onyemaechi appeared to be a better player and an upgrade on Zaidu Sanusi.

It was a travesty for Peseiro to bench him throughout the AFCON.

He has been long overdue for a bigger club than that microscopic Portuguese club.

It was a popularity contest, Vinicius still won the FIFA player of the year. That’s shows how controversial the award was.
