The word eurosnob really is such a wanky term.

Looks like the 20 year plan to win the world cup in the land of the dragon is going great.
Yes, yes it is.
Yes, yes it is.
Yeah comes off a bit manufactured.
Still think the core message is right. As long as people complain about the quality of a product they only occasionally watch, it's never going to improve. So it comes down to whether people are fans of the sport or fans of a particular club.
I have some things to say to you, Mr President, but I suspect your surveillance network stretches way the **** here and I don't wanna be killed, so carry on
I've already sent him links to all of your posts criticising him. Beware when you get a knock at the door
Common sense?
I guess you've never been to Africa before?
I was in Moorroco last week, in Marrakech, it was 51 degrees.
The locals describe Africa as hell on earth in summer, probably like playing the Asian Cup in the Simpson desert in the middle of summer.
Common sense as in they're finally holding the tournament that lines up with Europe, and not putting a liability on getting African players.
And Morocco? There's 54 countries in Africa, all with differing climates. I'll admit a move to July will restrict the number of potential hosts, but it will better serve African players. Gabon hosting it in July would've been awesome.
This isn't the Gold Cup, nor the CONCACAF (Then again, there is good reason as to why that is the case, though imagine a Caribbean rotation).They should just host it in S Africa every time and split all money evenly amongst the confederation.

Or, more sensibly, they should just keep the tournament in a more friendly time of the year. Say January. Common sense but you know what they say about that...
A bit contrived but a good point at the heart of it:

Friendly for who? As big as an honour as it is to play for your country, the move creates unnecessary tension for those players of successful African nations, and lowers the value of African players as a whole for this tournament that plays in the middle of the season every 2 years. Yes, most of the African seasons run on the calendar year, but that's up to the nation boards and CAF to determine how the tournament is run.
Honestly, this question is a very hotly debated one between those that want it in January, and those that want it in June. Sure, it's a bit more limiting for those that want to host the event, but I think they could be treated to a much bigger spectacle with higher quality players and open up more opportunities for African players to get accepted rather than being seen as risks because they're gone for 2 months ever two years.
You open AFCON up to a wider audience if played in June, which I feel would benefit the tournament more than just a January start, where it is drowned out by everywhere else.
Except for the countries who can't host it because it's over 40 degrees in May-JuneI think AFCON in May would suit everyone
