AFCON Postmortem, Avram Grant's Replacement & Foreign Born Players Wanting To Play For African National Teams.

from After The Whistle

Episode Notes Welcome to our maiden episode!! We jump right in and discuss the just ended AFCON tournament(0:44) and follow that up by discussing players with dual nationalities who decide to play for African nations (4:26)*. Is it fair to question their patriotism? Should Africans be fussing over being treated as a plan B for players who want to have an international career seeing as they can improve the national team? Donald proposed a rule change to FIFA's Eligibility rules (17:33) and we go a bit more into the issue of commitment (19:49). Are African born players really that MUCH more committed? With Avram Grant resigning as the national team coach, we use this as an opportunity to have an in-house build-a-coach workshop (22:33). The ATW team identifies the Black Star's major weaknesses and The ATW has a build-a-coach workshop and also identify major weaknesses of the Ghana Black Stars. RESOURCE LINKS FIFA Eligibility Rules
