Africa will very unlikely win the World Cup, yet they may go to the quaterfinals. They have very good players. In fact some of them are already playing in European teams by now.

in the soccer world cup i say ivory coast is a dark horse. my picks to do well though are england, france, czech rep and portugal. in the rugby world cup i think scotland will do well and a african team as the sport is growing there and their teams just keep getting better but my pick has been and always will be the springboks. oh and south africa are not dark horses to win the world cup as theyre ranked 2nd in the world and they won the 1995 world cup which as i said they will repeat next year.

Errm, before we talk about the AIDS situation or even crime situation in South Africa, we have to put things in perspective.\n\n1. The award wasn't given this year, but 7 years before the event, in 2003.\n2. South Africa were supposed to win in 1999, but I believe a NZ delegate abstained at the last and Germany won. \n3. Sepp Blatter then announced the Cup would be hosted by each different Confederation on rotation, and after Europe in 2006, Africa would get the nod.\n\nSo, South Africa had a lot of emotional pull to get this Cup, in 1999, when they felt they should get it, I believe they were eliminated in the penultimate stage and promised by alot of delegates that they would have support in the next vote.\n\nSo AIDS and crimes, were never going to sway the voting crowd when the vote came up in 2003, it was always going to be South Africa from Africa, as the richest nation with only Egypt or maybe Morocco having a chance.\n\nAnd that's why South Africa got it, but sticking to your theory, I think the World Cup is going to be a boost rather than a bane for Africa. \n\nThe sheer magnitude of the tournament will make highlight the problems of AIDS, crime and others in South Africa. The government will act and FIFA will play it's part in helping this out, in the media relations side.

I hope you're not trying to make this into a race issue, because it would be terribly lame.\n\nSoccer has been the most dominant sport amongst European countries for a very long time. By comparison, African countries have been producing World Cup teams only recently. \n\nIf the team is good enough, they will qualify. Take the US, for example, they are supposedly the "leader of the free world", but their team only recently began qualifying for the World Cup (and hasn't as of yet made it very far).

Africans junior world cup winners are quite recent, so if you give them the time they will probably win the world cup this century.

No.  Best chance for Africa is 2010 when it is hosted in South Africa.  Most of the African teams that are in the Tourny this year are new to the World Cup.

Well, I hope so! That would be a world premiere but while waiting, remember that an african nation already won the commonwealth or olympics games!

Good question you`ve asked.Africans are one of the best footballers in the world.Let`s take USA for instance.They have all the money to improve their football but they`re only good in the NBA.So it`s not about money or wealth that a team needs to win the world cup.If you watched last times world cup and saw Senegal,Cameroon and Nigeria you`ll surely say it`s time for Africa.And the world cup of 2002 was the worst one for Cameroon.They were denied an open honest goal so,for Africa to ever win the world cup it will start with all of us to be fair on the officiating.This racism thing is old fashion and if I see any one practicing the vice all I can say is your`e just premitive.I proud of the way Africans play soccer thumbs up guys.

Parts of Africa are fantastic. Do I think they will be a world power by 2020? No way.

South Africa in 2010.  They beat out Morocco to win the right to be the first African country to host a World Cup.\n\nIn 2014, it goes to South America, to a yet-to-be-determined country.\n\nEvery 4 years from here on out, it rotates continents.  I think it is scheduled for North America again (and possibly a return to the USA) in 2018.

Not anytime soon, that's for sure. The U.S. will never win a world cup as long as the best athletes in America play other sports. For god sake the game is called football not soccer. And as long as the leagues in America have no talent pool and bad youth systems, there is no good outlook for American soccer.

In terms of this world cup, Ghana have given the African continent hope as they beat Czech. \n\nGhana are also the only African team to win a game in this year's world cup. So yeah, they the best thus far.

Pretty far, actually. According to FIFA, they are #2 in the world's rankings after Brazil. I'd say if they keep doing well, they've got a real chance for the cup.
