It's not a major tournament. No one cares outside of Africa.
Backtracking
One disagreement he said Euros was important because its a tournament for a continent, so if Afcon
The first African player to Win a Ballon D'or,was the Great EusƩbio in 1965.
Also the Great EusƩbio was the First player to Win the UEFA Golden Boot in 1968.
EusƩbio the "Black Panther", one of the 10 Greatest Football players in History.
I'm completely offended by your ridiculous accent!
Jamie… Leave it you basically backlashed the AFCON no excuse…
Just apologize already and learn…
All what you are speaking is Englishš
Now, Senegal defeated Your national team : what would you say then ? Still bad players ?
How quaint.
George Weah won no major international tournament. He still won the Balon d'Or. Carragher is covering his bigotry.
š®š®š®š® I'm from CONCACAF, and I'm well aware that the gold cup is not a mayor tournament, but Copa America, on the other hand, is the best tournament, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia, come on ….
Truth hurts..
Show some balls Jaime!! Weres you backbone?! Stick by your statement, that is not yet a recognized major tournament. There's absolutely no shame in saying so!!!
Would be nice hearing this from a bigger pundit though…š¤£š¤£š¤£
Donāt be so sensitive lol it wasnāt that deep. Heās spot on.
Afcon is low level, simple!
To be honest the Europeans have that perspective about ALL continents.
If a Brazilian won everything IN BRAZIL and the copa libertadores, they wouldnāt get a mention for a ballon dāor.
They donāt respect AFCON any less than the Copa America. This is the problem of having a show that only has a European focus.
Salah has been missing for last few months. Only just starting to heap the odd asset. Did this in 2022 when playing for a new contract ā¦ then went M.I.A post signing it
I understood him first time around
For me, Jamie has nothing to apologise for. I totally understand the context in which he made the statement.
My god, nowadays everything offends some people
One can provide accurate analysis without attaching normative value judgement on them
Offended to be offended
You have women to thank for having to explain yourself every time you have an opinion in modern society. Games gone soft
If the roles were reversed and Jamie were criticising the Euros and praising AFCON, no one would bat an eye. Itās only because the people on the receiving end were black that such a big deal was made of it. Not allowed to constructively criticise anything they do without being swarmed
I understood what he was trying to say from the first time
I didn't understand what the fuss was all about
I get what he's saying now.Africa doesn't have the voting power to vote in an African player.
Heās right though
Good on him!
I finished myself watching this
I love the level of respect this cast show each other. like Jamie mightve gotten a small heads up before going on air but his answer was genuine and definitely not written which I appreciate despite how "clumsy" he can be with his language
Some times we say things that are so factual and evident that we donāt choose our words as carefully, and Carra fell into that twitter trap unfortunately, but we all knew what he meant and it was an attack on the ballon dāor and not the tournaments
It will come down to how well Egypt did in the World Cup, and they werenāt there, and the African nations didnāt perform who were there except Morocco
Football IS and WILL REMAIN a matter of South Americans and Europeans.
All other nations are just a side presence.
Just spit it out
Look at jamies face
Why IS that offencive? It's a reality. And as he said a European thing. Do you think Messing would have won any if he wouldn'f have played in Europe?
And yes, Argentina's national .. but look at the history of South american football VS Ćfrican football. So just a reality.
But if It were to be for him to won, to be awarded… Great! That would mean anothe step forward. ( Not only about nationality, but to be honest skin colour too. They didn't have It to Vinicius)
He's not wrong. calm down people.
People just want to be offended
