Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: World Cup Qualifiers - CAF.
It seems most of Africa have not yet forgiven Jamie Carragher for disrespecting the AFCON earlier this year. After Senegal won England 3-1 yesterday, El Hadji Diouf called out Jamie Carragher and I’m sure the former Liverpool player would have seen it by now.
Even though some people are saying England didn't play with their full energy against Senegal, that was the reason why Senegal beat England, but I love the way Senegal came from behind to beat England 1-3. The defeat England conceded against Senegal will remind Jamie Carragher of what he said about AFCON, and he will feel ashamed because his dear country failed to beat a country that takes part in the AFCON tournament. Friendly matches have always been unimportant and professional players know this. Many of these good players don't put in the effort in friendly matches, which is why I'm not surprised by this defeat. This is normal, but if Senegal manages to qualify for the World Cup and beat England in the World Cup, then that would be considered a great achievement.
We Africans are content with little, just as they beat England in a friendly match, they are already celebrating as if they had achieved something great. We jump for joy when we qualify for the World Cup and set as an achieved goal whether the team will play well in the World Cup or not, it doesn't matter. We don't care about winning the World Cup, what matters is just qualifying.
