They are NOT the best soccer players in the world.  I'd take Ronalinho, Robinho, Adriano, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Nedved, Owen, Rooney over any African on any day.  This is for current players.  George Weah is the best African player of all time in my opinion.  I would take him over most that I mentioned, but not Ronaldinho.  Give Robinho sometime, he'll be there too.

If we are considering the current world cup finalist, I dont see it happening. However, judging by the performance of African players in Europe and other parts of the world, it is likely that one of the countries would probably suprise the world soon. The exposure and experience is really helping develop african football. The major impediment however is the FA in the african countries. They either lack knowledge of what it takes to win a crucial competition or are too greedy and selfish/dont really care if their country perform well or not.

i think it is Roger Milla, and George Weah.  Both of them were excellent athletes and Weah played for Milan before all the African players started going to Europe

Most south americans are good at soccer because:\n-it is their main sport, here theres no single sport that the entire nation likes and watches, in south america, its soccer (futbol, rather)\n-kids grow up playing it, its what they do in their spare time. even nowadays most kids in south america don't have video games, so they all play in the streets and in the school courtyards and stuff\n\nsorry, that came out sounding very stereotypical, but it wasn't intentional.

Well samuel eto'o is a player of great skills and he is best in africa and best scorer as mentioned, but since the competition nowadays for the position of the best player is great the chances decrease and samuel eto'o becomes third best, but as a player he is good and deserves to be the best player in europe at least because he is a talent that i really like, and the factor that his national team did not participate in the world cup this decreases the chances of best player but i think they will be back at 2010 and he might take it then..

No african team will win the world cup in any of our lifetimes.African football is so far removed from the modern game that it is unthinkable that they could win at the top level.

There are a lot good country that play very well soccer. But we have to understand that Some countries are superior in soccer than other Like: Brazil, Italy,Germany,Netherlands,England, Argentina.\nBrazil is always a favorite because their success in previous World Cup. This World Cup Brazil has the best player in the world that is something to admire and respect

The black stars have always been blessed with great players. I remember the days of Abedi Pele, Lamptey, Yeboah etc. I think the problem with the stars as well as every african team are the people controlling the football affairs. If the stars have people that genuinely loves football and not after their personal agenda take charge of the preparation, they would surely go far at the world cup. The players are there. The FA is the problem. By the way, I am not Ghanian. I am just a lover of football.

Irrespective of whether they are or are not better physically, many factors outside of talent go into winning WC. Not least, money and financial support and sponsorship. Many African Nations are not wealthy and do not as such have the ability to promote the sport, train and support players full time or attract coaching staff. Corrupt Governments divert money to themselves, not the people or the promise of lifting them out of obscurity. Of course that is not all African Nations. I think some have done extremely well with limited opportunities and availabilities. Ghana have performed outstandingly and as the sport develops, someone from that continent will challenge in years to come. It's not always as clear as having a talented side of footballers. What does this achieve if you cannot get them out there to compete against and travel to other countries to improve their level of experience.

In all the history of the soccer italian players are the best, because 30 years ago there aren't good players in France.\nOnly after Platini, not before.

I think the best soccer player in history has to be Pele. He could do almost anything brilliantly, and is just pure genius.\n\nMaradonna, Platini, Johan Cruyff, Puskas, Di Stefano must all be considered great players as well, but I think Pele had something on all of them.
