Why Nigeria And Other African Teams Cannot Win The World Cup by HallaDaTruth: 9:47pm On Jun 16, 2018
Can Africans win the world cup ❓Yes we can but that can never be the reality until we deal with this issues .

*Africans do not have a playing pattern : The Germans play a strong midfield based technique, the Italians are defensive, the Spanish attack with tikitaka but Africans play scatter scatter . All they do is burn out their energy on the field chasing the ball without any form of organization.

* They play for money : When most african players are upcoming, they play with passion , but after seeing how much you can earn it Qatar, they start playing for useless clubs just because of money . White Players make a name first before making money , but black Players go for the money and end up being average.

* They play for white man's club : This might sound racial but its not if you ponder on it . When Nigerian and African players go for age grade competitions such as the under 17 and under 20 world cup, they always perform well. The confidence is always high . But when they play in the senior team , something changes . They start playing for Foreign white man's club where something in them gets damaged . Mikel obi was once compared to Lionel Messi . What happened to the brilliance of Kelechi ihenacho ❓ . I can go on and on . African countries should start paying players playing in Africa Big amount of money to KEEP THEM AT HOME. What are companies like Glo, And our various Banks doing . Big companies in Africa should sponsor these teams so that foreign football becomes unattractive .

You can't field different players playing in different continents and expect them to gel .

IF NIGERIA IS TO LIFT THE WORLD CUP ONE DAY , IT WILL BE DONE BY LOCAL BASED PLAYERS . MARK MY WORDS

the other points are valid tho
Your point 3 is not valid tho


South Americans play for the big teams of the world AND still perform at home. Suarez, Messi, Cavani, Neymar and so many others (Ronaldinho, etc) comes to mind.


Africans are not just serious when it matters, it's all about immediate benefits, that's all.

Baba other teams can, but not Nigeria.. U can't expect to do wonders with a bunch of average players hurriedly put togeda.. A team is built by playing togeda overtime... U either have dat xfactor playing in d ur team or U have a group of players who are talented and hungry..

They played for future employers. A job seeker must make sure the t is crossed and i is doted. In addition, Africans have issue with thought process.
