ACN - Ade goes but Benny stays

[rosenthal]

FIFA are about to put the World Cup 2022 to mid season due to the Quatar climate,
so it's no reason to think they'll force Africa to do otherwise with their regional tournament.
It's just the way it is, and clubs are very well aware of it when they sign african players.

Everybody is missing the point

African football will not improve with regular ACNs

Quite the opposite. African players should spend more time with European clubs

This will ultimately produce stronger national teams

Playing a tin pot tournament will not increase their WC allocation

Its more likely to maintain the status quo

You're the only one that looks like he's missing the point tbh.

 

[Kingdawson]

Because its a second rate tournament

Every two years to watch a bunch of brick countries play league one quality football is excessive

If they were any good they would play in the WORLD cup

brick countries? what a macaron you are.

One of your worse posts, with respect

I want to see more African clubs in the WC

And an African country win the WC

The ACN damages the chances of this happening

I'm more pro-choice.


The african countries can decide whatever the hell they want to do and i'll quite happily let them do it.

WOW,, brick Countries??? They play at that time of the year as its the reasonable time for the continent as a whole given the varying climates at this time of the year

but why every 2 years?

 

[ArcspacE]

but why every 2 years?

It provides much need economic stimulus to some of the poorest economies in the world. Have you even been to Africa?

In addition offering priceless exposure to most most players looking for that once in a liftetime deal

But we get an international competition every 2 years already...

 

[clevelandspur]

They should start a Europe vs the rest of World Ryder CUp style tournament how fun would that be?

Do me a favour what? do you know any players that represent those countries?

Shrug, obviously the 'inferior' teams aren't worth the time or effort.

 

[southstand1882]

Do me a favour what? do you know any players that represent those countries?

Do you know the average FIFA rankings for these countries?

How is playing lower / non-league standard football going to improve Africa's showing at the world cup?
