Good article that is surprisingly honest. FIFA has been pushing African football at least since the late 80's, probably even earlier. Every World Cup was going to be the breakout year for the African teams. Sure, you can give them all the 'help' you can but sooner or later they are going to have to play the match and that is were they fail every time.
