Are Eritreans better footballers than Ethiopians.

I ask because, Eritrea a country 16X smaller in population than Ethiopia is consistently ranked similar to Ethiopia in the FIFA CokaCola ranking system. When I see it closely I think Eritreans in general are technically better.

I am Ethiopian this is an honest assessment I reached after watching Ethio teams since 1974.
During the Monarch and Derg era, Eritrean footballers were consistently good at the national level. Although mostly the team was made up with players from Addisaba, those who came from Asmara were very good. Italo Vasalo, Luciano Vassalo, and 7 other Eritreans were in the 1953 African Nation's cup champion team.

I guess I am frustrated about the consistently abysmal Ethiopian football situation in the African stage. Do you think the luck of the support of Eritreans players has to do with it?

I think it is the lack of eritrean players. there are none.lol
