I am still not clear on how this is debunked by Naija being Africa champions in 2013. I dont see the connection.
The connections is that en route to the trophy they thumped teams like Ivory Coast, Mali, Burkina Faso and other teams that beat teams like Ghana. So in that case no favouritism. As for the 2009 case, you have a point but none on the current one.
You are talking about the Africa nations cup and I am talking about the WC qualifiers. Again I ask. What does the Africa Nations cup have to do with the qualifiers ? I never said Naija was favoured in the ANC.
On anther note. I just read that Ethiopia too are complaining about referee bias.
What we are trying to tell you that you inference that Naijja jad an easy route does not hold any water given the fact that to be crowned Africa champions they met and beat all those big wigs!!!
Talking of Ethiopia, how are they a weak team when even after being deducted 3 pts they still finished 2 pts ahead of South Africa? In the group stages there ten groups and all the big teams had groups that they could easily win!!!!
Referring has been below par in Africa in many competitions and singling out Naijja suggest that you simply have something against the oga boys!!!!
