Hence the post. So I'll stick with you. I think a lot more kids around the world are going to hear about Mahrez and Leicester if he's actually back in Leicester and we are winning games higher up the league and doing well in the FA cup than they are while he's of playing in the AFCON, This may shock you but the PL sort of pisses on the AFCON in terms of global audiences! 1-Oh it happened here, more than once.people question me being a real fan because I am Algerian. 2- I am talking about the type of audience that Leicester will have. PL will help in America,Asia and Europe but the AFCON will have more impact on the African people because they are invested in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Wall Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Just now, the fox said: 1- this is a very logical response, thank you 2-and many people that which well for Algeria will stop carrying about Algeria after mahrez and slimani stop being Leicester players 3- it would've been better if you said " a lot of Algerians" instead of " all Algerians". I am a Leicester fan and I am happy with my choice. 1. Agreed 2. Agreed 3. My apologies, you are totally correct, I should have said most not all. You have stated more than once that you are a City fan so I will take you at your word. If a look into the future was possible and it didn't harm City I would genuinely be pleased if Algeria won it but for the players, not for the supporters. If they are knocked out in the group stages I have to say I'll be relieved the players will be back early but I wouldn't celebrate Algerias exit as such. I didn't feel like this 3 months ago but I do now as our season continues to splutter along in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PL will help in America,Asia and Europe but the AFCON will have more impact on the African people because they are invested in it. They're right though, perhaps the use of "all" is a little all inclusive but the vast majority will be gone this is just a statement of fact. You implied people had a problem with you personally because you are Algerian, hence you compared is to Everton fans and accused us of being "hostile" was it? which has not happened anywhere and as I say is close to accusing people of racism. Not nice. Do not take this the wrong way but the African market really is an after thought when compared to the other regions of the world, and we already do quite well in Africa and especially Algeria (hence the Social Media invasion) there's a reason Premier League teams are playing games in Bejing Sydney and Los Angeles in the off season instead Dakar Raabat Nairobi.

I have to say, even if we are knocked out I wouldn't be that mad because it will at least result in A better chance of our club staying up. My priority is my national team.

Oh no no no! I never said that people here are racists. I despise racist people and racism against any group,religion or a color. So, if I thought that they are racist I would said it to their faces. I never denied that a lot of Algerians will stop caring. All I said is, saying "all" instead of "a lot" is not fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am lucky that Algeria is not a club . but yeah, I would like my country to win. Because I have more loyalty to the country that I was born in. Living in and sharing a family in. I follow barca but I support Leicester. And that's way I watched a championship level Leicester game instead of el clasico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, your logic doesn't work on my case. I simply don't agree with your opinion given your last few posts. Whatever the circumstances, whatever the opponent, I would want City to win and, in an ideal World, to thrash the opposition. We all love days when 'our' team plays great football and is on easy street, we can trounce someone and not be in danger of losing. You being an Algerian fan first means you would want an opponent to beat City (in this case Algeria) and thrash them, in an ideal World. I see that as a major difference. At this point, I should state that this may be due to cultural differences between Algeria and the UK but there is no instance in which i would want City to lose. This is not an anti Algerian stance, I would say the same if you were German, Welsh, Peruvian or indeed English.

USFox Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Anybody know if Slimani is playing today against Tunisia? I really want him to in order to get back into form, and Tunisia is a pretty safe team in terms of style of play when it comes to fear of injury.
