Why are Africans such poor footballers?

[MCFC BOB]

Don't get me wrong, Essien is a world class player but not world class on the ball. The goal V Barca came off his shin.

What?

 

[kinkladze:-)]

Ali Bernarbia and Eyal Berkovic are quality footballers!

I'm reckoning the OP hasn't thought this one through!!!

Eyal Berkovic is Isreali. Not African.

thats totally correct, my mistake!

So what you meant to say was, "why arent African footballers as 'technically' gifted", is that right?

I did.
But I'm referring to your comment just above mine (which I quoted, darling). You're saying that Essien is a world class footballer, and then you said he WASN'T a world class footballer when the ball is at his feet. He surely must be the only world class player I know who is shit with the ball at his feet. It makes no sense, darling.

You've managed to dig yourself an Essien-shaped hole and you can't get out, darling.
