@axelyxx@Romain_Molina Parce que les meilleurs sud-américain évouluent dans leur pays peut-être? Pourtant on ne tiens pas le même discours, toujours la même rengaine...
@JBobMllr@JulienHoez Simply the results of the the french urban politics. When you put a working class in banlieue where there is only one football pitch in poor condition as a distraction in a place with a high density, you end up with a concentration of talent. Same for the favelas in Brazill.
“AFCON SMEAR CAMPAIGN”
(Same Game, Different Judgement)
A comment by Darren Lewis, a respected British sports journalist, deserves real credit. Paraphrasing his point:
We need to stop pushing the lazy narrative that what happened at the AFCON final is somehow a stain on all of African football.
When England fans vandalised Wembley after Euro 2020, it wasn’t framed as a failure of European football.
When Calciopoli exposed deep corruption in Italy and Juventus were relegated, it wasn’t used to discredit European club football as a whole.
When Steve Bruce led Sheffield United off the pitch during an FA Cup tie against Arsenal at Highbury, no one claimed it represented English football.
Yet, similar incidents at AFCON are quickly weaponised to question the legitimacy, organisation, and credibility of African football as a whole.
That double standard is the real issue, not the tournament.
Same game. Same problems. Different judgement.
AFCON isn’t the problem, the bias is.
@Brinks81116745@Salimooo91@LMDFoot_ Je pense pas que c'est de l'élitisme, les besogneux existaient (Deschamps conte dunga). Pareil pour les athlètes (sol campbell Djibril Cissé). Et les creatifs c'était pas que dans l'elite Lachuer, Nivet ne jouerait pas en L1 aujourd'hui. Par contre je ok le foot c pas que l'elite
