Well your original comment does smack of racism abit, if you ment it or not it does seem like it is
Im not guilty, couldnt give a fook about what we did many years before i was alive, but racism is racism, which is also illigal
Not calling you a racist just saying your opening post does sound a bit racist

Re: Why are Africans such poor footballers? PLEASE READ THE OP.
If that's your definition then I guess Brazilians might equally wonder the English are generally shite footballers. The answer is because of the football culture they're schooled in, ie Brazilians prefer control and trickery whereas the English favour pace and power.nashark said:nashark said:There seems to be a trend. The majority of Africans are not good footballers.
NB: Footballer can be defined as having good feet, with a good first touch. Also, footballer is different from player. Player refers to the overall performance.
There are only a few exceptions. Drogba, Okocha and Kanu seem to be these. I can't really think of any more. Africans are predominantly big and fast, with average feet. The idea for the thread came after sheer despondency at the footballing ability of Kolo Toure, Salif Diao, Mamadou Sidibe and Adebayor to an extent (even though he is tall). Once again, why are Africans such poor footballers?

Please please explain why. Is it because I alluded to the fact that there may be a difference between cultures.

Dakar is in Senegal.................so not a countryDannyctid said:MCfcBOB said:I don't think anyone understands his point, fully. I'm pretty sure he doesn't either.
Vieira was born in Dakar which is a pretty poor country. It's a good place but poor. Maybe this is what he means.

I suspected that you realised players who play for France (national team) would not be classed as African (in footballing terms). When Vieira is playing for France do you remark what a great African midfielder he is?
I think men who originated from sub-saharan Africa have a greater percentage of fast twitch fibres. Now please answer mine?

The racist bandwaggon left about 3 pages ago.mr t said:What a fucking ridiculous racist post. Drogba, Okocha and Kanu are the only exceptions the OP can think of - well he needs to think a bit fucking harder before posting such drivel.
I think we've settled that he wasn't being racist. He just put all of his words out of context
