Judging by their performance at the just concluded African Nations Cup, I would say they are only going as observers/students.

In terms of this world cup, Ghana have given the African continent hope as they beat Czech. \n\nGhana are also the only African team to win a game in this year's world cup. So yeah, they the best thus far.

If we are considering the current world cup finalist, I dont see it happening. However, judging by the performance of African players in Europe and other parts of the world, it is likely that one of the countries would probably suprise the world soon. The exposure and experience is really helping develop african football. The major impediment however is the FA in the african countries. They either lack knowledge of what it takes to win a crucial competition or are too greedy and selfish/dont really care if their country perform well or not.

Around the time of 1990-1994 a lot of pundits were saying that an African team would probably win the World Cup by now. By my reckoning, they are no nearer now than they were then. It doesn't help that their qualifying system is such that some of the best teams don't qualify (Egypt and Cameroon) and some relative no-hopers (Togo and Angola) make it. \n\nOf course an African team CAN win the World Cup, but in my opinion, it seems very unlikely this time and for the forseeable future.

No, they did not qualify.  The African teams in this year's competition are:\n\nAngola\nIvory Coast\nGhana\nTogo\nTunisia

It is not likely. My bet is either Brazil, Germany, or Argentina

2010 in South Africa.\n\nFIFA has ruled it would be in Africa, and South Africa beat opposition from Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Morocco to get the Cup.

African debutants in the world cup 2006 in Germany are Ghana, The Ivory Coast, Angola and Togo.

i have to go with you on that one Ghana will cause an upset.... who knows maybe Brazil and by the way to all the other football fondies who have answered... Morroco, Senegal, Cameroon and Nigeria are NOT taking part in Germany 2006.\nPlease ppl first get the proper data on who are taking part in WC2006 and then answer, don't just answer cause you want two points, because you just confuse the issue for those ppl who really want to learn about the game of FOOTBALL.

Yes! Brazil do not like they are World Cup champs this time around. Ghana on the other hand have everything to play for and most importantly have a style of play that Brazil are not used to. The support of all the African nations will help Ghana. Brazil don't have the support of all of South America\n\nGo Ghana!!

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...

On paper it doesn't look likely at all, but then the World Cup is known to pull a few surprises or two and African teams are especially known to be unpredictable. Who would have thought that Senegal would qualify from their group in 2002? Or that South Korea and Turkey would make it all the way to the Semi-Final stage?\n\nHowever, I think you are correct. I cannot see any African progressing beyond the last 16. Maybe Ivory Coast but that again is a long shot.

African teams get better and better in every World Cup. \nIt wont be long until 1 of them win it, not this 1 but maybe in the next 1 or 2 World Cups
