DISQUS

Roxii,

But an African (from Angola) is coming to Man utd in January. I thought Sir Alex Ferguson wanted to promote English talent? Ironically, his main stars (Ronaldo, Tevez, Nani, Giggs, Van der Saar) are not English so why blame the brilliant Frenchman for England's failures?

Don't blame Arsenal and the highly skilled Africans buddy. Arsenal are the best. Simple. Arsene Wenger doesn't have to spend so much money on highly overrated English super stars, but just works at developing players.

o0 yea n 1 more thing tiger, United creats most of their superstars

Yaz,

Few Arsenal supporters?

Why would such a team that plays the beautiful game in a beautiful style have few supporters? I would assume it was either a typo (may be few Arsenal haters) or you don't know what you are talking about.

Go Arsenal, Go Gunners

There is a 99.99% chance that Kaka will win the World player award tomorrow, with Christiano Ronaldo having a 0.01% chance. Not bad for Ronaldo as thats better than Messi's chance of 0%.

My boy Eto'o is back!

What a wonderful pass from Becks. I thought he would save them again like against Greece in 2002 world cup qualifiers. When you leave such a player on the bench, then someone has to question your skills McClaren. I always thought Peter Crouch will perfom well with Becks in the line up (saw his goals from Beckham set pieces against Austria freindly and Macadonia)

Steve McClaren: What a disaster!!!. How can he change goalkeepers for such an important match. Apparently, he didn't learn from Briana Scurry's contraversial change for Hope Solo in the recent Women world cup semi-finals. I am 100% sure he will be axed, it is just a matter of time. May be they will get Jose Mourinho, the special one to prepare them fro South Africa 2010.

I know he was unlucky to miss Owen (another mistake by playing in unnecessary freindly), Rooney,Terry, Rio Ferdinand etc, but you can excuse the poor performance especially in the first 15 minutes.

Also correction blackandredblood, Fredie Kanoute plays for Mali, Africa NOT the french national team. He is not like Senegal's Patric Viera (played for the French team), Ghana's Dessaily (played for the French team), Algeria's Zinadine Zidane (played for the French team) or Nigeria's Oguchi Onyewu (plays for the US team) to do such a thing.

Blackandredblood, I was just responding to nanai_is_transexual who somehow suggested that MLS need to first be better than the African leagues before they can even be considered to be anywhere near European quality. My point was the African leagues are way superior to the MLS for that to happen anytime soon. I backed up my claims with a list of big names to scare you off.

Yes, Africa is a continent not a country!!! The players I listed are from different countries in Africa. However, even from one single country, there is way more talent than the MLS..Just accept it.

Ivory coast for example: Didier Drogba (Chelsea), Salomon Kalou (Chelsea), Yaya Troure (Barca), Emmanuel Eboue (Arsenal), Kolo Troure (Arsenal), Kader Keita (Lyon)....

The list can be equally intimidating for you if I pick another country say Nigeria: Nwankwo Kanu, Obafemi Martins, Julius Aghahowa, Jay Jay Okocha, Finidi George etc. Remeber Chelsea's Taribo West and Celestine Babayaro were also Nigerians.

Yes, Nigeria's Super Eagles can be on top of the world one minute (remember Atlanta 96, France 98) and on the bottom the next minute.

However, as you said they never take friendlies seriously like most African teams.

Note that this is the first US win in Africa ever. Great achievement.

Hey, African leagues are superior to the MLS. Come on guys, Africa lacks the money but has players with much better skills.

Plus, African leagues have produced some great players like George Weah, Samuel Eto'o, Didier Drogba, Michael Essien, Nwankwo Kanu, Freddie Kanoute, Emmanuel Adebayabor etc.

Yes, the talents of most of these players were only realized after moving to Europe, but give some credit to the African leagues that produced them.

MLS products: Tim Howard, Brian Mcbride, Damacus Beasley, Clint Demsey etc...and we know none of them can compare to the African super stars above.

Thanks Kajol

Yes, old format or lose your audience!!!

Yeah, the old format was much better. Otherwise I may have to find another site.
