What about players like Boateng or Seedorf?

I like how even Canada has figured this out and pro scouts still fall for it.

>>76272938
Toure, Abidal, Seedorf, Vieira, Eto'o are the first names coming to my mind.

>>76272938
Refusing to generalize or discriminate makes you really, really stupid. It's pretty much as simple as that. Also explains why they're always portrayed as cool in high school and then at 30 you see them and it's like they were stuck in time.

le pacey negro is my favorite soccer meme. it's just so funny.

Who are some soccer players of African descent who defeated the early burnout stereotype?

>>76272980
>>76273001
A few examples which show that if you want blacks, don't fall for le pacey black forward meme

>>76273034
>Eto'o
>not a pacey black forward

>>76273025
The biggest one I can think of is Didier Drogba since if anything he started late.

At least black players have a single dimension to their game. White players are usually mediocre all-round.

this is *THE* problem that plagues the French FA
>wins 1998 WC
>sees that team include giant powerful players (who are also blacks): Vieira, Desailly, Henry, Thuram
>only wants giant powerful players now
>but to have good giant powerful adult players, you must form them at their teens
>now only selects the most giants of the teens, it happens they are blacks
>French FA missed that midgets also carried the team: Deschamps, Lizarazu, (later) Wiltord, Makélélé
So they entirely missed Greaseman and Kanté, and our team is one of the most powerful, sure, but is dominated on the ground and in agility by Spain or Belgium

>>76273212
>happen to be black
At some point 10 out of 11 players on the field were black. There's African teams with less blacks

>>76273077
maybe but he was a lot more than just that. Eto'o was the best 9 in the world for at least two years, and if anything the other contender for the title was a black fella (Drogba)

>>76273212
France is so stacked with talent it's not fair. You guys have players like Lacazette and Griezmann right now in guys like Dembele and Mbappe waiting in the wings.

>>76273099
You must be talking bout the English ones only.

>>76273034
If Poop wins the league (or Champions League for that matter) it will probably be because of his pacey Black wingers.

>When will people learn?
hopefully never, United is a comedy goldmine because of that

>>76273249
I tell you: why? Because football is sport for poors here and most blacks are poor so they play football, also formation centers recruit black teens, why? because they have passion for the sport and their parents push them. I know white kids who had talent, but gave up football to study.
examples: Dembelé parents and Mbappé parents. If you kid is a goldmine you push him. White rich parents won't push their kids to play football but study instead.
France is becoming like Brazil in this regard

>>76272938
George Weah and Ruud Gullit

>>76273077
eto'o was top 5 tier for a while, you're delusional if you think otherwise

When growing up and playing football all the early developed kids who hit +180cm get drafted to top teams even though their skills are below minimum

Study showed like 80% of U17-19 national teams consist of players born in the first half of a given year.

Basically smaller kids get left behind unless they are literally Messi 2.0

>>76272938
Does this mean rppney is nigger tier?

He suffers from this shit even more than the nigerian youth teams of yesteryear

nice analysis Chang

>>76274348
This only happens in France and England.Spanish and Italians scouts still recruit as usual and care more about the end product than winning a U-16 cup

>>76274542
France and England never win youth tournaments. France U21 (with Poo-gba) got raped by Swedish U21 for fuck's sake.

That's really how sports is period. It's largely why white Americans are pretty bad at athletics given the size of the country. It's not genetics or anything like that, it's that's there's absolutely no need or sense of desperation for athletics to be an outlet. Most of us here are way too well off to pursue athletics at the degree required to become an elite national or world-level talent.

>>76273025
messi

eto'o, henry and drogba are some of the best strikers of the last 20 years.

>>76275622
white bois become elite at hockey and tennis and golf and all those other gay homo peepee lick sports that have low athleticism requirements tho

>>76276467
>henry and drogba
>Good

>>76277401
All those sports have barriers of entry though. Poorfags from broken families have no chance to buy all the hockey equipement and then have someone dedicated to driving them to the rink everyday their entire childhood.

How can you not rate Drogba or Henry?

>>76277594

Drogba was a big game player but he couldn't carry a team for an entire season. He was never a 20+ goals striker season after season

>>76273025
Kanu, but nobody really knows how old he is

>>76280488
if youre implying he was in his prime that season, that was like 3-4 years ago, what are you on about

skating, stickhandling and checking on their own are more demanding than everything in basketball, get fucked
