    Why do African teams suck at soccer?
    They always lose. Thought they were supposed to be quick, fast and athletic. Ain't that complicated of a sport.

    who cares about soccer when a lion can maul you on the field of play? poor continent plain and simple. the chances of being a professional athlete seem very low in those countries so most would rather become pirates, poachers, etc. or you contract aids or join bokaraham

                    African teams lack organization and discipline just like the countries they represent. Look at the Ghana guys that totally chimped out before the played Portugal.

                          African Americans are mostly descendants of people who could not be killed. They have the genes. Not all black people are athletic.

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

                                        Most teams outside of Europe and South America is of lesser talent. Im sure if the African continent had a shitload of training facilities and the freedom like most countries they would do better. why does k13 suk at poker?

                                          The quality of players are there for some teams, but look at their coaches/managers! There's your answer. Who is Ivory Coast's manager and what's his reputation?

                                                Well, African teams do not play smart and are poorly organized for one, and two, the players are selfish if you notice, they'd rather shoot from difficult angle or from distance than pass to open teammate.
                                                North African teams, like Algeria, Egypt, etc., are better, they have more of a European influence to their strategy and play, but less athletic ability than their southern counterparts.

                                                        China...idk..they had Ok teams before...but that's a lot of people to suck compared to like Uruguay.

                                                            Easily bribed. Government officials corrupt as hell so players don't have much pride playing for country. Now Cameroon is investigating 7 players for fixing their World Cup matches

                                                            Ran Perumal notorious fixer told top German paper Cameroon would lose 4 0 to Croatia and that there would be a red card

                                                            Take a look at Alex song red card and tell me he was not on the take. Just elbowed Mandudzic in the back for no reason in front of Ref. Most fans will probably say typical african behavior. Wrong. Most Africans are nice and good natured. This fool who plays for Barcelona was on the take and did not mind embarrassing himself his country and the whole continent just for silver and gold.

                                                            It's a corroding mentality. Until true democracy prevails and everyone in society are held accountable then African teams will never make it. Look at the Ivory Coast team there is no reason they should not make at least the quarter finals
