It’s disrespectful. He wouldn’t be saying it about the Euros.

The euros aren't played every 2 years slap bang in the middle of the season.

And Asian leagues aren’t played on the same calendar.
Has he lost any asian players? It's every 4 years.

Klopp? Endo.
Well i'm sure klopp would include japan in the joke aswell.

Ok so you didn't even read/watch the original thing I posted
Yes then you started going on about klopps joke being disrespectful. It was a joke. That he wouldn't make about the euros because they are not played in the middle of the season.

Why am I not allowed to find a "joke" disrespectful? My country of birth and the country I live in are both competing and it's a hugely important competition for both. Not to mention the country of our club's captain. Oh and the trophy that properly launched our head coach's career.
If it was just Klopp who had this attitude, sure. But it's not. It's prevalent among people in Europe who don't want to acknowledge football exists elsewhere, on different timescales. It's why literally no one but me fancied Ange before he came in.
(EDIT: I probably went a bit too hard here - but there was sentiment (and still is) that Ange wasn't good enough for Spurs because he was an Aussie who'd managed in Aus, Japan and Scotland).
Oh and I don't think it was a joke from Klopp. If FIFA didn't protect AFCON and the Asian Cup, I'd bet good money he would prohibit his players from going.
Edit: dumb brick like this wind me up too

Ange tells a good story about his first coaching job at age 12 on this podcast. Starts around 16:27. The whole thing is worth a listen, Santo Cilauro is an Australian comedy legend and it's a good relaxed chat about his upbringing. And a funny story about the great Englishman who played for Real Madrid, Stan Ding.

ANYTHING we heard from clame should now be considered ‘opposite day’ of what is appropriate.

If you look at him the last two conferences, I’d say he’s a little under the weather. Add stress and no family around him during the holidays and I’d be crispy to stupid comments from ignorant reporters too!

Agree I dont care about AFCON but most of the players in it have great national pride, whether you agree or not it's a big thing for them and saying you hope their dreams fail is poor man management, these thought should be kept to yourself, but he cant stop looking to be the story.

Would Klopp be happy to make that "joke" about British players getting knocked out of World or European competitions early so they could ready for him?

Probably, all international football is an irritant to top level clubs.
It’s like F1 drivers pulling out of GP’s to go banger racing instead.

I would rather watch that than F1.

It's one of those "it's OK to think it, just don't say it" situations. Especially for a manager at his level.

Can’t believe I’ve sticking up for that clam, but if more managers were honest about it we might actually get this nonsense sorted.
It’s been going on for too long.
