....well..I'll agree to an argument or statement that Africa has an abundance of athletes that can compete on the global stage..and we do have world class athletes that are as talented as those who are winning the medals..however...we fail to exploit the full potential of our athletes with off-field sheenanigans....but I disagree that Henry is less talented than the average Ghanaian or Ivorian player..haba?That's a stretch O...even when Ghana ,Nigeria or Cameroon produce such players that stand out globally we only do so once in a while..not all the time...I think it's only Brazil so far that seems to produce them on a very consistent basis....however...I think U're right in your assessment that with the right environment,training programme and a focus Football Association U can name four African countries that can take the world cup....
