Africa's poor showing in the FIFA World Cup

from African Dialogue · host Channel Africa

5 African soccer team teams made it to the World Cup and all of them have been eliminated just days before the quarter finals. Nigeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal and Egypt will watch the remainder of the game at home. It’s safe to say it was not an easy competition for the teams. According to reports only three African teams have made it to the World Cup quarter finals; Cameroon in 1990 in Italy, Senegal in 2002 during their World Cup debut in South Korea and Japan, and Ghana in 2010 in South Africa. But, why is that the continent’s soccer development is not reaching that of world class as yet? Is it almost expected that they will never win the World Cup and what can be done to improve their skills etc? To help us answer those questions we are joined by:• Tiyani waka Mabasa, Sports analyst• Duane Dell'Oca SABC sports commentator• Thabisa Ntema, co-presenter
