No east Africans in major soccer tournaments compared to west African

[Revolutionary]

I have noticed more south Sudanese are joining the A League and Aussie rules. They came to Australia just few years ago whereas east Africans came in the 80s. Soccer is strongly rooted in Eritrean and somali culture but none are in the league.

There are West Africans all over French league. They get accepted easily, whereas east Africans in the UK don't. Never saw them in EPL. Same for laliga and bundsliga.

Is it because we are skinny bunch?

[Khalid Ali]

east africans love football but they suck at it they have no atletic legs to skinny wa dad ja jabaya somalis and xabashis love soccor but suck at it somalis and east africans in general need to do more leg pressing before entering football we lack speed efficiency. have u seen marturdie the bantu lad from congo playin for france so fast he is we lack the speed the legs the build the muscles.

look at the thin legs of the ethiopian foot ball player and the nigerian one and the nigerian player is average not even muscular


now i give u a dutch surinam player look at the legs and i can assure u seedorf didnt any leg pressing and squats and shit pure natural raw muscle

East Africans are good at long distance running and no West African can take that from us

You are completely wrong. In Australia, for two seasons in a role, Youseeuf Hersi, the Somali or Oromo was one of the best players in the league. Here are the East Africans that have played in the A league, Hersi, Bruce Kamau, Golgol Mebrahtu, Kamal Ibrahim, Ambesager Yosief, Rashid Mahazi and one or two more I am forgetting as well. Also South Sudanese population in Australia is like 25k while Ethio/Eri/Somali together would be the same or even slightly less.

But there is a Somali kid in Melbourne City ranks and more to come as well, do to Somalis clubs doing well,

West Africans are historical roots are extremely deep in Europe, they have been living in Europe longer, playing football longer and have had access to better training facilities, football knowledge and diet longer than any other East African group. There is like 4-5x more West Africans in Europe than East African. But things are changing, Chelsea under 18 has a Somali kid, best youth Arsenal player is Ethiopian, Swedish league top scorer is Eritrea and they have a wonder kid who is 16.

Firstly size isn’t that important in football. It’s a factor but not a must. The greatest club/international team were made up by midget Spanish players, and normal sized Italians and Germans routinely dominate oversized English clubs.

West Africa is more developed to East Africa when it comes to exercise science, sport nutrition and weight training. There are more gyms in Lagos than the whole East Africa, plus their diet is more based on lean meats and healthy fats. But as the culture changes in the East, we will see better athletes.

Oh, Seedorf was a normal sized kid when he joined Ajax, yet in his late 30s and 40s he still has rock solid six packs and muscles. The real edge West Africans have on East Africans is Anabolic steroids, HGH and peptides, West Africans are heavy steroids users fam, if you only knew these people.

Victor Wanyama and Macdonald Mariga play for the EPL.

Aboslute rubbish.

Some of the best players are skinny. Let's take holding midfield, the position where you need the most strength and "muscles". Some of the best holding midfielders

fernandino



ramires


This was arguebly the best defender in Euro 16
