If Ozil was from Africa, there would be cries about how games on the continent are taxing on our players then it would culminate into the time scheduling of the nations cup and what more the flight risk, etc. Of course, you all know this. But since he plays for a European country, it shouldn't be that of a big deal..
I believe you've gone fishing here.
What AH is saying is right.
Thank you Sir!

It's because we all hate Africa and Africans. Duh.

I see but then I have really come to expect this sort of commentary from you!

I don't know whether its hate or whatever, I do know the countless cries from European teams/managers and of course fans each time they have to lose a player to an African competition yet they don't come out guns blazing with the same intensity when other continents are involved.
Logical explanations for this have been provided in this very thread. You apparently choose to ignore them.

Thanks for the clarification AH, but you submit multiple layers of speculation that make your case a bit flimsy here. Though many have bemoaned the scheduling of the ACN due to its impact on an Arsenal squad that has relied quite heavily on African players, WC qualifying is, and would be, a completely separate issue.

Of course, you know this.
Thanks for extending me a bit of respect on your second coming.

Now, can you honestly deny that for all the time you been here, you have never witnessed the sort of vitriol directed at African nations and their federations for calling 'our' players to camp?
Honestly, no I don't my friend. I can say that I've never had that opinion or even that conversation. I read a lot of stuff here which leads me to believe that the type of criticism you describe was likely the view of a poster or two and not necessarily reflective of the forum's view in general.

And what kind of commentary is that, exactly?

It's a shame really because to you "logic" is what jives with your thought process! In fact I take exception to that as you are insinuating that Africans and/or how they do business are/is not logical!

People have to be considerate (or in your book, logical) when it comes to the African dilemna. There is a lot of logic involved in how their tournaments are set.

Does it matter whether I believe it or not?

You know yourself better, what you choose to project on this space is what I can only go by.

Quit running from the text that you quoted. You quoted it for a specific reason. Come out and say it.

At least you are aware of its existence, granted few cadres are culprits!
