So they found a mugu to host AFCON?! If CAF was people oriented, they would recognize the potent threat of ebola and shift this tournament till maybe next year, but no they wanna try God! Na Equitorial Guinea I dey pity! I doubt there would be a huge turn out for the tourney proper.

DeleteFuck off here you poverty stricken goat. Idiot. With your poverty stricken self
DeleteGood for them #onelovefromSnow#
ReplyDeleteIf not for the 2015 election, Nigeria would have been the willing host. GEJ not taking chances
ReplyDeleteClearly there are some idiots here that do not follow the competition and want to talk. Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea have most of their players abroad. those teams are currently playing qualifiers and none of them is really in a position to qualify. If all the other teams they are playing against right now in the qualifiers did not request the games to be cancelled by fear of Ebola why should Morocco fuss especially when educated fans all know that sierra leone and liberia have almost no chances of making it to the competion as it stands?
ReplyDeleteSierra Leone has been playing Ivory Coast, DRC and Cameroon. As a precaution they were ask to play all their home games abroad and so far none of these countries have declared a single case of Ebola. Morrocans are just being their racist selves and need to take several seats.
Hmmmmm nah wah ohh..caf wld av allow ebv reduce to an extend na..
ReplyDeleteThis is not wise at all, they should postpone d competition till 2017, why must it be do or die. Ebola is real, they should know that. Infact, make Nigeria no even qualify, prevention is better than cure
