The exciting display of the Brazil 2014 has showed that Africa is yet to catch up with the basic criteria of football at the world stage as the five African representatives all crashed out from the group stage and group of 16 for lack of technical, tactical discipline.
While financial misunderstanding caused Cameroon early exit, the rest four bowed out from the mundial out of lack of technical, tactical discipline.
Ghana, Cote voire, Cameroon bowed out from the first round of the group stage while Nigeria and Algeria faced the exit door at the group of 16 stage based on their lack of technical, tactical discipline at goal and the defence line.
All the five African representatives put up the typical Africa fighting spirit only to bow out technically and tactically.
While the likes of Nigeria and Algeria needs to be commended for their spirited individual brilliance and doggedness, much is deserved of the technical benches to have made the difference which was the bases of the failure of the African representative at Brazil 2014 mundial.
Vincent Enyeama is a player to be happy for representing his fatherland at the world football shows piece, the player would have convincingly contested for the best goalkeeper award if he is doing the business for a more tactically and technically disciplined side.
All the African representatives at Brazil 2014 mundial have similar problems, lack of football follow up, wrong positioning, lack of reading and timing ability which came demanding that the five African representatives lacked.
For Nigeria, the Keshi tutored side was never a team. Keshi only made do with luck as he assembled crop of individual talented skillful players of Nigeria origin.
The players made do with their individual brilliance and self determination to prosecute the World Cup when they lasted at the world cup. There was no technical and tactical input as to complement their individual brilliance and self determination from the coaching crew. ###
