Africa is known for Talents in all areas of life, but the greatest problem that the world 2nd largest continent have been facing is the rate of development and optimization of the unique talents that are associated with Her. The World cup is not spared of this ugly Trend. It is not uncommon to see players from African descent playing actively in distant European & American Countries. While others representing their african countries do so with little or no passion compared with the aforementioned.

This is one of the reasons why Africa never wins.

Remember 5 african nations came to the World Cup: Nigeria, Algeria, Ghana, Cameroon & Ivory coast. Only 2 (Nigeria & Algeria) came out of the Group stage but never proceeded past the Round of 16. No african country has played in the World Cup Semis.
And until Africa resolve to develop and optimize the many talents deposited in it, the trend will never stop.

WOW. We're missing a lot. I never knew most of this players are from Africa. God Bless Africa but we just don't want to create an Arena for them to develope their skills on Africa Soil plus they don't give the right ones the chances to shine.
