  1. Former Nigeria captain Mikel Obi slams opportunistic foreign-born players over making African teams 2nd choice
    Mikel Obi slams opportunistic foreign-born players over making African teams 2nd choice.

    Mikel challenged foreign-born players to decide their international future at a young age and not treat African teams as a second choice and not switch nationality to represent African countries after realising they’re not good enough for the Europeans.

    I love his last part of the statement
    “If you make a decision when you’re 17 or 16, stick to it. Don’t give us a call when you are 30 and say, ‘Now, I wanna represent my African roots.’”

  2. A rainy start to their Olympic start, hopefully it will be a gloomy failure…………….Oui Oui as Frenchy says, studied 8 years of French in school and that’s all I could say, didn’t miss much 😉

    • Listening to the ceremony speech by these top so-called French Olympic officials speak of Unity, PEACE LMAO and justice for all, Hypocrisy at IT’S Highest BEST……what a JOKE

  3. I certainly don’t want any Argentine players in the French league. These are fast becoming my most hated people and country. Stay out.

    • And why would you hate the French so much?? Let me guess they have players that are black from Angola with a French passport 😂😂…it’s easy to blame others when you’re in complete denial of your own fault. Enzo Fernandez and the Argentine government screw up big time and the rest of the Argentines players have to pay for it. It’s gonna be a long Olympics for the Argentine players…making derogatory and racist chants about other players got them there and trust me it’s gonna take more than words to make amends

      • Your guess is wrong 😃. Nothing to do with race and skin colour. I don’t know how much you know about French people. Anyhow they have been a sore loser since the World Cup final and showed little to no decency and I feel any Argentine player going there will have a tougher challenge to succeed. This is just my opinion and cannot be proven right or wrong.

        Anyone can win or lose but there is a limit to being sore and evil. Again nothing with race or skin Color. Rather if you look into French and some other European ones, more racist than anyone else.

        • To be clear, I am person of Color and lived in 4 continents. So have been privileged to be with people from various parts of the world 😊

      • Martin jean. Some off us here are Argentines who are originally Arab and Arab African… Way for a comment to back fire
        And with that… Colonial criminal France can go F itself…. U can’t compare French racism to Argentina.
        In the words of my African father: France is the best country at hiding racism .

        • I’m a black Canadian of Haitian descent. My mom and dad are from the island of Haiti and we were colonized by the French so to be clear I’m no friend of France because of their past history. Having said that, two wrong don’t make it right and when you have “idiots” on that panel like this guy MMH007 who clearly doesn’t know the definition of racism, it’s sad. I don’t care about France been a sore loser in 2022, everybody has moved on, we’re in 2024. Messi doesn’t play in France anymore, Mbappé left for Real Madrid so why keep picking on their national team and their league or their country. Argentina has 3 stars and are World Champion so why been vicious and go so low by taunting your adversaries with hurtful songs like the one they sang in the bus ? All due respect, it doesn’t look well on the country and his people. Btw, I’ve been fan of Argentina since 1994 when I saw them played in the US ( Maradona, Batistuta, Redondo, Sensini, Chamot…ect)…so yes, behaviour like this does hurt.

          • You understand RACISM? Calling us racist nation on what basis? Calling Enzo racsist when he has mates from Africa depending him. Calling people idiots doesn’t make you smart either. Was the chant inappropriate YES in a way coz Europe won’t get the football chant Argentine people sings and also I have heard worse from English fans on daily basis in premier league. However calling the chant is racism is biggest idiotic from you. The chant was reply to how Mbape boost Europe is better then South America! How he open his mouth every time show South America is lower level!!! Go fucking educate yourself and stop projecting shit. It was tit for tat! I didn’t see your protesting anywhere when they were singing about Messi in 2018 but you are here now and apparently you are Argentina fan ffs? They didn’t play final against Messi so why did they chant about him? Don’t teach here racism coz this forum has well respected people who thought it was nothing about race it is people like you come up with this shit.

          • It hurts you coz the chant boosting about African pool of talent by taking dig at France? It’s a folklore mr so called Smartarse maybe you need a lesson about rascism.

          • Nobody is saying what Enzo Fernandez and rest of team did was right. However I disagree on racism part. That was mockery/trolling which was unacceptable but it wasn’t racist. But as a black guy and I didn’t see anything to do with racism. Stop blowing the whole thing out of proportion.
            Infact some of African players once they realize that can’t play for their first choice country,the resort to play for root countries as 2nd option. That’s hypocrisy. Infact when France won the world cup, whole world chanted African won the world cup and the french players even enjoyed that. Infact they recorded themselves singing lingala. Why because they recognize their roots.

      • What was racist about the chant ? Did they sing about the colour or specifically any race ? You lot projecting that coz that’s what you do to get sympathy. Bring out the race card in every fucking chance you get. It was fact that you lot need other countries players to win something. Also talking about racism French is worse than anyone in the world like other day I saw some news how you treat Muslim women in your country . Shut the fuck up and chant it with us. It was well written chant. Also if you are feel guilty bcoz we sing the truth then represent your own root

        • I agree. I didn’t read anything racist about the chant. Did you all forget what Vini had to go through in Valencia? There is no one worse than France and French people

        • Let me educate you idiot, racism it’s a prejudice, discrimination or antagonism by an individual, a community or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group ( Google it) which means they ‘ve been biased toward a group of individuals ( blacks) stating they came from Angola ( Africa) which is factually wrong. These players are all born in France but because of the color of their skin ( race) they can’t be french which is stupid. If these players were all Eastern European, that song wouldn’t have existed period. It’s like me saying that all Mexicans are illegal immigrants in America …that’s racism at his finest. Been a fan doesn’t mean that if Messi ask you to jump of a bridge you should do it without asking questions, you need to use your judgment and educate yourself on certain topics. Nobody is perfect and no one here has called Argentinians or Enzo Fernandez “racist”. You made that assumption boss. Saying racist things don’t necessarily make you a racist but it does raise questions about your character and value. Again when your government is backing such behavior, the undersecretary of sports had to resign and when Enzo Fernandez goes back to River plate, a large section of the stadium is singing the same racist song that got him in trouble in the first place, shit like that leaves Argentina in a bad position but you wouldn’t know you’re in complete denial…it’s the rest of the world fault. Anyways idiot, I’m closing this conversation hoping that you humble yourself and do your homework about “racism”…I’m not mad at you bro, you definitely ain’t the only one on that panel that need a crash course 101 on racism. I have a master degree in financial Economics…I had to flex it 💪 on you.

          • Martinjean, is not that simple. Being educated by google in order to define rascism is laughable to say the least, you need to educate yourself more than that on this topic than financial economics apparently. Moreover, calling people you don’t know idiots, shows much about how respect to others and subsequently to yourself is essential for you. I have been a member of this forum for years and i can tell you that those people you called idiots, are all respectfull members who are bringing interesting views and opinions, without being hostile to others who disagree with.

            Nobody in here will educate you about rascism or HUMAN RIGHTS IN GENERAL but let me tell you this:
            How come a country such as France who has a long story about colonian crimes, speaking about rascism and human rights? If French “protect” human rights why then did exploit half of the African continent, don’t respect and repressing African people traditions, exploited by violence their lands and wealth? If they believe to human rights and that other races are not inferior to them, why then all of their history is based on exploitation?

            Hypocrisy by those sorry ass fascists at its best!

            And by the way, San Isidro and rest of some respectfull members in here that you are calling “idiots” couldn’t have put it any better, there is nothing rascist about this chant.

          • You must be a child otherwise why would you talk like that calling somebody idiot when you barely know them and I rest my case also coz you will never understand . I have friends from all culture and I have been to brawl too from a football match but we never call name to anyone ever. Football chant is all about intimidation not racism. Mate your degree is shit when you speak like that. Don’t swear people from keyboard it ain’t sign of heroism. Argentine playing in Europe for years and years now ! How many times you have heard that incidents about racism?? Thank you waveride atleast someone doesn’t need master degree to understand racism

      • I wish you would react the same when the same french fans insulted Messi who actually joined Paris on a free transfer. Every time PSG got eliminated they blamed it on Messi. This whole saga is blown out of proportion. And by the way am black too.

  4. Few comments to note from me:
    1- I don’t see it as that bad if Alvarez stays with man city for another year, they have a winning mentality, and yes he won’t get as much paying time, but with all their success they have to rotate players in because of their champ league exploits

    2- hope carboni gets out of the French leagues as soon as possible. Can’t stand that league or it’s fan base.

  5. @sergio Thanks for the update!

    Boca has to let go of Equi Fernandez if Arsenal made an offer! Saudi will literally kill his career before it even begins!

    Regarding Julian Alvarez, City wants £60 million + £17 million add-ons and Chelsea is looking for a reliable striker and who better than Alvarez with premiere league experience.

    Soule to Roma is excellent news! They must rate him really high as they paid €26 million + € 4 million.

  6. some transfer news.
    Soule to Roma is done. Soule would occupy the RW position as De Rossi is planning to use Dybala as a false 9.
    Arsenal have made an offer for Equi Fernandez, but that falls below Boca’s valuation of 17mil. Please note Saudi club has made a 21 m offer, which Boca have accepted but player isn’t ready to go.
    Striker Julián Carranza has joined Feyenoord on a free transfer.
    Julián Álvarez might have to put up with Pep at least for another season as Barca coach doesn’t want him even though the club had him in their short list. Atletico have also bought a new striker.
    West Ham pushing for Nahuen Pérez.
    Inter Milan are interested in Facundo Medina and Valentini and hope to sign one of them.
    FC Porto officials are observing Julio Soler, currently playing in the olympics and will make a decision after the tournament.

  7. Why aguestin roberto not playing for u20🤔 even after winning golden boot at u17 why no hype and suppport for him like Foden had when he played for u17 wc or the spain kids

    • Agustín Roberto is injured and by the way the team playing in L’Acudia is fully made up of reserve players from local clubs and a few Euro based kids to take a closer look at them.

  8. It seems Pep is a little annoyed with Alvarez over his demands for restructuring his contract even though it was last done in 2023 and his desire to leave the club for more playing time.

  9. Marseille is building a young team, they already bought Mason Greenwood and now are showing interest in Carboni. They had also approached Boca for Equi Fernandez but Boca’s management put profit over player’s future.

    • Carboni should not go in French. Any Argentine player should not play for any french team. They hate Argentinians. They are sabotaging and disrupting Argentina’s participation in these Olympics.

      • I AGREE A 1000000000000000000% F ’em
        Now all of a SUDDEN ARGENTINA is the great evil, brining up stuff like How ARG killed off all the African Argentines in the 1800s….. LMAO I find the level of Hypocrisy UNREAL considering what happened to the Native Indians in American or the WIDE OPEN Genocide NOW, 2024 not the 1800s of Palestinians by the so-called FAKE State of Israel.

        • That’s pure hypocrisy. When talking about atrocities against African no one tops France and Belgium. Especially millions of Congolese who died under Belgian Congolese. Furthermore it’s African who allowed themselves to be used and enslave their fellow brothers to the Europeans. It’s true every country has it’s dark history but trying to paint Argentina as an evil racist country that’s where I draw the line. Making assumptions about Argentina because there are no blacks is stupidity. It’s high time we put an end to this toxic discussion.

      • it is actually good for them to play in ligue 1…they will play a lot …in premier league they don’t play consistently…compare alvarez, buendia, lo celso, enzo with players who play in ligue 1 (medina, taglifico, balerdi)
