I disagree!  The African teams have shown well even though they have not won.  They are not up to the level of the top 20 teams in the world...but they are fun/exciting to watch.  They create a lot of chances but just don't finish well.  Their backs are suspect.  All in all, though, when they play you can pretty well gaurantee a wide open match!

All the african nations recently have made an impact on the world stage - Nigeria, Cameroon and Senegal especially. To be honest I think Togo and Angola might not create too many shocks, they are in tough groups with seasoned campaigners but I would be very wary of the Ivory Coast

Ghana who have had exceptional world -class players like Abedi Pele of Marseille,Anthony Yeboah of Leeds United and Eintracht Frankfurt fame but failed to qualify for the World Cup.\nThis time though Fernebahce's stephen Appiah who has great influence on the team will partner with Chelsea's Michael Essien to make the African imprint on the world.\nI know that many will praying against that day butmany more will be seeing it happen live.

Quit making excuses. African teams still play like children. Nice moves, nice handling of the ball, but don't know what to do with it The object of the game, is to score goals. Look at Ghana, 25 or 30 chances, no goals. Brazil, less than 10, 3 goals. .

South Africa is probably the only African nation that could manage to host the game successfully. \n\n- They have high literacy (86.4%)\n\n- They are follow primarily Christian religions and are tolerant of women's involvement in sport.\n\n- They have a developed infrastructure\n\n- Their GDP is over $533 billion, but they still suffer a 25% unemployment rate and 50% of the nation lives in poverty.\n\n- They have a coastal location so they can host water sports like sailing, but they have few lakes or rivers, and would likely require sunstaintial development so rowing and other water sports would be difficult. I know I wouldn't want to swim their coastal  waters (Triathalon,) as they're know for Great White sharks...

Irrespective of whether they are or are not better physically, many factors outside of talent go into winning WC. Not least, money and financial support and sponsorship. Many African Nations are not wealthy and do not as such have the ability to promote the sport, train and support players full time or attract coaching staff. Corrupt Governments divert money to themselves, not the people or the promise of lifting them out of obscurity. Of course that is not all African Nations. I think some have done extremely well with limited opportunities and availabilities. Ghana have performed outstandingly and as the sport develops, someone from that continent will challenge in years to come. It's not always as clear as having a talented side of footballers. What does this achieve if you cannot get them out there to compete against and travel to other countries to improve their level of experience.
