I can't see it happening for Africa any time soon, they were so close before, but typical corruption and disorganisation messed them up.

African teams especially ones from the west had a style and swagger about them, now it's nothing special now, most have been Europeanised and their style has gone.



--------------------------------------------------------------------Sadly this. And they often have some of the worst cheats/divers nowadays. Seem to remember Ivory Coast getting Kaka sent off with some horrendous gamesmanship.

Africa is the only federation (other than Oceania) to never have a team reach semi finale of world cup.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So not the only federation then.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And which North America/CONCACAF side reached a semi? I assume Mexico but when?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
US of A in the very first is the only one I think.

Mexico have only ever gone as far as Quarters - both times they hosted - I think.

2006 was the last good world cup, last two were dreaful

I quite liked 2010, south Africa were brilliant hosts

Also, the claim that black people are stronger than whites at a young age...
It's actually because of their bone structure, bone mass is greater than that of a white person and its the same in adults.

Still it all comes down to proper nutrition and physical fitness because without that it doesn't matter if you're black or white, you'd be weak and seeing as it's the third world, you can count on them being less physically fit and healthy, compared to our white and black players over here.

Shieeet.

By this logic Africans are better nourished than Europeans, feeding on natural and organic foods as opposed to the trash in Europe.

The prevalence of lifestyle diseases linked to diets will attest to this.

A fookin race row, deary me.

Race row or not the fact that someone reasons like this is amazing.

Ah yes good point. They don't have all this manufactured stuff full of ingredients that give you cancer in Africa.

Fool, check out average life expectancy in Africa, and then in Europe.
Get back to me on that.

Why do scousers chat a lot of crap, is it a generation of dipping bins that causes brain malfunction?

Why does everything have to be about these people or that people. Scousers this scouters that.

Says a lot about your mentality. Also, life expectancy isn't the same as saying you can count on Africans being less physically fit and healthy, compared to our white and black players over here.

Dude, Africans are on average far more physically fit and healthier than Europeans. Where are you getting your facts from?

Life expectancy isn't influenced by factors like AIDS and access to medical facilities or access to quality medical facilities, not physical fitness and health

What a ridiculous thing to say. Over half the population now obese, sitting at work, driving home, sitting on the couch and sleeping while cancer, diabetes and a myriad of lifestyle diseases continue to wreck havoc at levels not seen anywhere else except perhaps America.

Look, Africa is behind Europe in nearly every way but physically fitness and health of the general population is not even close to being one of them.

*life expectancy is influenced

There is a high rate of cardiovascular disease in West Africa (I’m West African). Just a fact to thro into the debate.

Well that's it, all African teams go out in the group stage.
