Why Is This Continent Is Failing?
1. Lack of Support From the Governments- Looking at the previous of Ghana's performance in this year world cup you can agree with me that it could at least went to the semi finals but what happened they lost by the margin because back home people said their squad was full of young players.
3. Lack of youth development program- In my native language they say Lere le ojwa le sale metsi meaning it is better to prune a tree when it is young as long as we do not have best soccer academy we will always STRUGGLE.
4. Lack of Concentration- The teams lack concentration,if the team scores first in the match it turns to feel like they have already won,and when the other team scores then you will see most of the teams struggles to come back to the game. As the result they lose.
What Can Be Done That A Team From This Continent Reach Semi Finals?
1. For start we have seen South Africa host very best world cup,so for only that shows that Africans can do it if they work together. Countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, Algeria and others which have resources and money can work together in supporting each in by best academy for all African teams. This is only my opinion, for example next year the teams that will African Cup Of Nation its young players can be assisted.
2. Like any gospel they should preach it in every meeting that they hold in their continent meeting were it must be their agendas and ask why they are not winning and they have majority of their players play in most of Europe's best teams.
3. In schools soccer must be played from early age and children must be given funding for the game, have passion for it. This is one of the game that in the world brings humanity together in the a very powerful way it is indeed a beautiful game, so if any team from this continent win or maybe get to the semi final it will bring the moral of every African in the world. It is not only about playing but passion for the game. When South Africa was the host it lost in first round but Ghana remained in the tournament, what happened next? Every African from all works of life started to be behind it. It was a moving experience to see what this game can do people. South Africans from their past history of racial conflicts rose above that but sang together hand in hand supporting another African team. This game really brings humanity together, so as this game does it can indeed bring up the moral of Africa in the in every aspect.
5. Soccer Federations- They must not be on their own, the must be responsibility of the country's ministry of sports. Help them and make show their report is read and they public have a say.
2014 Brazil Can Africa Rise And Shine?
Honestly there is a lot to be done but as African it our responsibility that this nations can do well, by supporting local talents NGO in the country help disadvantage kids who love the game.

But when was that and how come they still haven't got over it?
OK, you'll have to go back a while. Sixty years in fact. The thing was they were hosting the event. The one and only time that Brazil host the World Cup and they go and lose it. Lose it to near neighbours Uruguay in the final in front of over 199,000 people!
That crowd is a record by the way, a record for any football match. The final was held at the Estadio Maracana in Rio de Janeiro on July 4th 1950 and obviously Brazil were clear favourites to win. But it was more than that. The nation did not hope for a win... they expected it. A team containing the 'three musketeers', Ademir, Zizinho and Jair in attack just could not lose.And they scored first, two minutes into the second half, Friaca's goal was met with the loudest roar of all time.
The crowd were silenced however in the 66th minute as Uruguayan legend Schiaffino equalised.
Brazil have seven of the past Golden Ball winners, four of the past Golden Boot winners, more than any other nation.
The unthinkable had happened. Brazil had beaten beaten at home in their own footballing citadel, The Maracana. A huge stadium built for this day.
In a crowd of nearly 200,000 people there was utter silence and disbelief. The effect on the Brazilian nation of that defeat is still felt by many today. At the time Brazilians did not believe they could become a great nation until they had won the World Cup.
And to this day they still regard it as shameful.
Incredible isn't it? The Brazilians have won the World Cup a record breaking 5 times, in Ronaldo they have the highest scorer in World Cup history.
