African football teams
Is it just me or are most people seriously underestimating the amount of skill black African football teams have in the World Cup?
I’m talking about countries like DR Congo, IVORY COAST, GHANA, and SENEGAL. Especially Ghana (coming from a Ghanaian) but people keep ranking African countries way lower than the rest, while forgetting that some of the best players playing for European countries in the tournament itself are the best.
I’m talking about Saka, Dembele, Doku, (Nico) Williams who has Ghanaian heritage himself but chose to play for Spain, Mainoo, Eze etc.
Like imagine if all of these players were playing for their respective countries - as in countries that they are actually from instead of the countries they grew up in. African football would be way higher than people think it is right now.
Sorry if i didn’t word this correctly, I hope you get where I’m coming from.
It’s just that even Semenyo decided to play for Ghana, even though he was born and raised in England.
But back to the underestimation point - I’ve been seeing a lot of videos where people just constantly glaze Portugal, Argentina yk the really good South American teams all the while putting the African teams near the bottom (maybe except for Senegal) but really and truly, Ivory Coast is wayyy better than people think too.
Lmk your thoughts.
(Please correct me on any mistakes I made or any more info you want to add please do add it)
