I do not know how true it is today but in the past many African managers were representing the flag of a nation they did not actually live in because their nation had not been created (yet)


Anyway do you agree it would be much greater to have more flags, at least in Africa and probably the whole world?


I can't tell how many african managers live in the country that is not in the BB world. There was one from Mauritania in Senegal but he is does not play anymore and he had no problem playing in Senegal cause his family was from Senegal.

To be honest with you, i think that BB has no intention to add more nations in the game. And when you see that there are only 10 active teams in Morocco, 8 in Senegal, 7 in Nigeria, 6 in South Africa, 4 in Algeria, 3 in Ghana, 3 in Egypt and 2 in Tunisia, why would they create more NTs ?

An african league would be a great improvement. With so little users, more NTs in Africa make no sense

If merging is a necessity (still unconvinced), then I like the suggestions made (I think both of us have made it at different times in this thread) of having different national divisions with a regional div 1. I think #3 is less likely than #2 (which is kinda what I was talking about... in some form). Of the choices tabled by BBRyan at the very beginning, I'd go with #2.

I forgot to say but i think that this possibility of merging micro-nations should go with a changement in B3 qualifications. The whole world must continue to be represented on B3 and not just 2 clubs from Central America, South America, Africa, etc...

Maybe i was not clear

Like i said i go without any doubt with option n°2 : merge leagues to have a competitive and fun league but not remove nationalities and NTs

I want an african league but i want my team to remain senegalese, my players to remain senegalese and i want them to play an African tournament against Nigeria, Tunisia, South Africa, etc... like it is

Then i said that i think B3 should stay a world wide competition. If you merge micro-nations, europeans will be over-represented. To me it appears that at least one team from each nationality in the game should play B3. Like it is. League winners, Cup winners and best team from each country. Why not ?

You make a point. A tunisian team do not deserve to play B3 just because it comes from Tunisia. To be honest with you, i proposed it because i'm affraid some of micro-nations managers will be reluctant to merge leagues because they're happy to play B3 every season and don't want to lose that...

But let's talk briefly about B3 since they'll have to change it anyway if they merge leagues. Since B3 will get rid of the teams that do not deserve to play it and actually play it because they are the less bad in the country they play, let's also get rid of the old winners. League winners, cup winners and that's it.
