Diomande has kept the same facebook account since he was a child, so here you go:
Exhibit A- him aged 19/20 (2023)
Exhibit B- him aged 14/15 (2018)
Exhibit C- him aged 10/11 (2014)
To accuse him of age cheating is absurd.

You don't understand AFCON.
It's a graveyard of giants. The great equaliser. Everyone steps on that pitch equal, some more equal than others. Bd'or contenders get rings run around them by 35yos who play for Kano Pillars.
Comoros played a LB in goal & nearly knocked out Cameroon

@disgame23
not to mention the sun ages you quicker. some players were obvious age cheats (kanga and wamangituka of late) but the vast majority of those who make it to europe aren't.
and if they are, it's due to shady agents (see Meschak Elia) or discrepancy in standardised birth records.

If you want to know how age cheating *actually* works in Africa, I interviewed an anonymous player who explained how FAs & corrupt coaches facilitate this process.
It's sad, coercive and bleak.

After witnessing how flawless VAR was at AFCON, it's very clear that this is a personnel issue.
🚨🚨| NEWS: Liverpool have been most affected in the 2023-24 campaign, with four VAR errors against them. Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers have each suffered three mistakes, with Arsenal two and eight other clubs on one each.

A quick reminder for the twitter users too young to remember...
In case you forgot...
🇳🇬🏴 Man Utd signed Obi Mikel from 🇳🇴 Lyn in 2006 and held a press conference with the player.
Chelsea claimed they had a pre-contract agreement dating to 2004.
😭 Obi Mikel was then "kidnapped" to London and joined Chelsea for €23M!

Twitter is an echo chamber, which makes it all the more baffling why football caters to this peculiar minority.
The majority of football fans didn't know who caicedo was until a few weeks ago.
But it's online hype that inflated his price to such proportions.
Just saw now that Suarez scored 48 in 44 in 09/10 for Ajax. Not a chance we could’ve got him if the internet was bigger back then lol

OK then.
• Liverpool "seriously interested" since last monday.
• Palace will let him go for €50-60M, provided 30% sell-on & that LFC "identify" a replacement (Veerman & Ibrahima Sissoko mentioned)
haven't spoken to his agent yet but no indication of a release clause so far.

"Nobody complained in 2019"
Many footballers & managers complained about summer AFCON in Egypt where temperatures can reach 50°C
If AFCON was meant to be held in the european "summer" there's about 5 countries max that could pull it off, compared to 50 in winter.
Let’s not act like it has anything to do with anything other than the timing of it
Nobody complained when it was in summer of 2019
If the Euros were smack in the middle of the season and there were no halts to the competition, we’d be complaining too
World Cup 2022 was in…

ask an offline football fan who the best players are.
he'll probably say messi, neymar, salah, mbappe et al.
ask someone on twitter and they'll refuse to acknowledge these players because they think their favourite player is better

Hate to sound like a tactico but the most refreshing thing about AFCON is how a lot of players just run for the ball.
No positional play or tactical styles, just play to win or stop your opponent scoring. football from first principles.

I think a lot of these players have received 6 months of income and want to go back to competitive football.
He's already made €30M in wages and bonuses which is 10x his salary at Lazio.

Van Dijk shouldn't be compared to first div centre backs.

Compare him to Costacurta, Cannavaro, Baresi, Bergomi, Nesta...
If you’re 13, probably. If you’re old enough to have seen Stam, Vidic, Kompany, Bruce, Campbell, Rio, Desailly, Adams and Terry (to name a few) then you know he’s far from it.
