Same with basketball. There are no good African basketball teams and you think an African team with an entire continent to pull from is going to be second best to the US? No way. Two Africans have played NBA with almost no training and both were all-stars. Two-for-two.
There are plenty of African countries that have wealth and are not competitive in soccer. Nigeria, Egpyt, South Africa, and many others. There are also many players from Africa who have come to the US to play basketball that have not worked out. Again, more knowledge and research is needed.
