Firstly - all African nations cup games are very defensive - the midfields cancel each other out and their are very few goals scored. No strikers have any impact.
And secondly - he scored against Argentina at the last World Cup and Brazil at this World Cup. Are they minnows?
That sort of disproves the minnow bashing thing.
Anyway
Mate you're just talking shit. He has 45 goals, in 71 games for his national team. Has a good record against all countries and you're just hating on the guy for the sake of it.
And for Chelsea? He scores against everyone. Arsenal aren't minnows (and alot of his goals are of supreme talent/skill, not tap ins) and the other top teams as well. Alot of good goals, against good teams.
Well read my post properly first, as you're last paragraph is not even about anything I mentioned.
- Not once did I mention his games for Chelsea. I stated Chelsea > Ivory Coast in terms of teammates in his respective club and international sides.
- It's pretty obvious that he is a proific scorer for Chelsea, I never denied that or even mentioned it, as every man and his dog know that.
- I mentioned his goal against a quality outfit like Argentina at the World Cup, but the fact of the matter is that he is just not as efficient in the Ivory Coast national team, most of his international goals come when playing inferior outfits like Mali and Benin, to name a couple.
- African teams are defensive minded but so are most of the Premier League sides, and he doesn't have a problem scoring against any side in the Premier League.
