What the heck is wrong with that caption by the BBC. Is Senegal not an African country? So now if an African is described by his continent , then it’s racism. Absolute nonsense.

This was a way to not acknowledge a formidable opponent, even in defeat. The match was between SENEGAL and EGLAND. How did the whole of Africa get sucked into this? Senegalese are Senegalese first, Africans second. Why not address them directly by name? After all the record shows that England played against Senegal, NOT Africa. It also suggests that although Senegal beat us, no other team in Africa has beaten us. QUESTION: What does this have to do with other teams.

l agree. There is nothing wrong with the headline. ls it not fact. What is racist about the headline. The issue is either people do not understand the word racist or they are extemely
emotional.

Besides BBC is an England's national news agency so what's wrong with them referring to Senegal as African side? Does referring to them as African side take away the win? We're still mentally enslaved with stupidity.

@Nsafoah; Senegal is an African side and it is true.
We are rooting for One Africa, so let us applaud our Senegal side and move on.
Except God, no one can heal the world from racism.

What is the sense in BBC making racist statements concerning the match, when a significant number of the players of the English national team are of African descent?

White people are by nature racists. They think anything African is inferior. Trump's attitude towards Africans stem from that racist supremacist mentality.

Ohh what a shame Ghanaians have deliberately ignored football history and forgotten Nigeria ever defeated a top European country Spain in a world cup tournament where the Queen of Spain was seen shedding tears. Ghanaians who chose to denigrate Nigerian football has never beaten any top European football nation, be it a friendly or competitive game. Ghanaians should come out and tell the world they've ever done so anytime. Despite the old and moribund period period when Ghana won African Cup at a time when participating teams were just 8 or 12 in number, those Cups could no longer be regarded as true Championship trophy today when 32 African countries are in contest for the same Cup. It's been more than four decades Ghana has struggled to win it again without success. Ghana should refocus on their failures and stop undermining Nigeria in any competition. Comoros Island, Cape Verdes & Niger defeats are a worry and a dent to your football credentials and very disgraceful level of your football history and should worry you and not about Nigeria.

Ahh there you are. I thought Nigerians would have come to their senses and left Ghanaweb to mind their own business – I was wrong. Nigerians cannot exist without Ghana. But since you are here, let me tell you, no one wants to take away your victory against Spain or the Africa Cup of Nations, which you last won 13 years ago. Sadly, that is no longer relevant in today's football, just like our four Afcon trophies from 40 years ago. We Ghanaians know this and do not deny it. But the question is: is that good enough for the biggest country in Africa? This is about intercontinental recognition, and you only get that by establishing yourself and playing well at a World Cup. Normally, a country the size of Nigeria should be representing the African continent well internationally or even competing at the top, but you are not, and if you continue to focus on the statements of Ghanaians on Ghanaweb, where you have no business being, you will never improve. You can be happy about the victory over Ghana at the Unity Cup and at the Chan, but you should never forget that when it comes down to it, we will always beat you!!!! see you at the World Cup

I thought you Ghanaians always brag that you were the leaders in African football that you even thought Nigerians how to play football, now let me remind you a fact of football that Cameroon had not won a single African trophy when your bravado as Ghanaians filled the entire global football news and now, Cameroon has surpassed Ghana with 5 trophies while Ghanaians continues to make l empty noises everywhere. Not only in football do Ghanaians claim to lead Nigeria but even in Entertainment industries. So Ghanaians lack shame in claiming they are better than Nigeria in every sphere of life.?? These are people who do not know much about anywhere in Nigeria and conclude Nigeria is a jungle of kidnappers where nothing works and yet the only railway line in Ghana that runs from Tema to Impakadan in Eastern Region doesn't run because the government has no money to fuel the operations. What exactly is wrong with Ghanaians and senseless comparisons with Nigeria.?? Nigeria is not in a competitive level with Ghana so Ghana should look for their size somewhere and leave Nigeria alone. How soon has Ghana forgotten when Nigeria was a refuge destination for the millions of hungry Ghanaians and the traveling sack which is now known own worldwide as "Ghana must go" sack. Ghanaians should respect countries doing better than them and stop the empty egos.

I'm highly dismayed that my africa brothers are talking about"Disrespectful and Racistism" in this report.

We have trabalism issues in africa countries like ghana and Nigeria and we are not talking about it. We Africans ansl pretend as if we are not the problem. In ghana Ewes and Akans are always having problems in marriage and in business. In nigeria , the trabalism is very higher .

Let's solve our problems about trabalism before talking about others,.

When it comes to football Nigeria is not mates with Ghana, a country that has won AFCON 4times and defeated the greatest team of all time during the U20 world cup and became the first ever African country to win the U20 World Cup what do Nigeria only 3 AFCON Ghana has defeated Nigeria a record 25 times with Nigeria less than 20 wins what have u guys achieved in football. Talking of better standard of living Nigeria should even talk concerning issues in Nigeria high rate in crime index always rant here and there chaos. And almost every Nigerian and even most of them say Lagos stinks due to high rate of open defecation and untidiness dirty place. We moved to Nigeria when the country wasn't performing but look at Nigeria now u this illiterate talking are you happy, your people are seeking greener pastures here because living in Nigeria is hell poor security high crime rate shut up whem elders are speaking
