Jamie Carragher and Rio Ferdinand are engaged in a heated debate sparked by Carragher's comments about Mohamed Salah's Ballon d'Or chances, which he attributed to the lack of major tournament success for Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Carragher's assertion that AFCON isn't seen as a major tournament was met with disapproval from Ferdinand and fellow pundits. Ferdinand underscored the historical achievements of players from the tournament, arguing that such views reflect an ignorant mindset and calling for greater respect for AFCON.
I think the problem is the fact he's with Egypt, and he's probably not playing in the major tournament as such or maybe got a great chance of winning.
That comment is representative of the majority of people out there, I think it's an ignorant thought process; it should be respected more than it is.
