In our life time can a miracles happen? Can we see a nation from Africa raise the cup which unites nations? I believe Africa do not need a miracle but hard work. It should start now by embracing this beautiful game, in the back yards. The governments form this continents should put more money on developing young players.

Why Is This Continent Is Failing?
1. Lack of Support From the Governments- Looking at the previous of Ghana's performance in this year world cup you can agree with me that it could at least went to the semi finals but what happened they lost by the margin because back home people said their squad was full of young players.
2. Money- Most of African players play overseas because of lack of money in the local teams.
3. Lack of youth development program- In my native language they say Lere le ojwa le sale metsi meaning it is better to prune a tree when it is young as 겜블시티 long as we do not have best soccer academy we will always STRUGGLE.
4. Lack of Concentration- The teams lack concentration,if the team scores first in the match it turns to feel like they have already won,and when the other team scores then you will see most of the teams struggles to come back to the game. As the result they lose.
What Can Be Done That A Team From This Continent Reach Semi Finals?
1. For start we have seen South Africa host very best world cup,so for only that shows that Africans can do it if they work together. Countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, Algeria and others which have resources and money can work together in supporting each in by best academy for all African teams. This is only my opinion, for example next year the teams that will African Cup Of Nation its young players can be assisted.
2. Like any gospel they should preach it in every meeting that they hold in their continent meeting were it must be their agendas and ask why they are not winning and they have majority of their players play in most of Europe's best teams.
3. In schools soccer must be played from early age and children must be given funding for the game, have passion for it. This is one of the game that in the world brings humanity together in the a very powerful way it is indeed a beautiful game, so if any team from this continent win or maybe get to the semi final it will bring the moral of every African in the world. It is not only about playing but passion for the game. When South Africa was the host it lost in first round but Ghana remained in the tournament, what happened next? Every African from all works of life started to be behind it. It was a moving experience to see what this game can do people. South Africans from their past history of racial conflicts rose above that but sang together hand in hand supporting another African team. This game really brings humanity together, so as this game does it can indeed bring up the moral of Africa in the in every aspect.
4. Preparation- Nations must start preparing their teams now in the squads,have players in the team that you already prune them for the future.
5. Soccer Federations- They must not be on their own, the must be responsibility of the country's ministry of sports. Help them and make show their report is read and they public have a say.
2014 Brazil Can Africa Rise And Shine?
Honestly there is a lot to be done but as African it our responsibility that this nations can do well, by supporting local talents NGO in the country help disadvantage kids who love the game.
Tony Parker missed his chance to play for his country this summer, a broken finger kept him out of the world championships in August, but he wouldn't miss the chance to play for the home fans in two cities. Now the San Antonio Spurs' guard is getting a chance to play in his homeland.
The Spurs is one of the four NBA teams that are in France, spending a portion of its preseason overseas as part of the NBA Europe Live tour. The Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns joined the Spurs in Europe to get an earlier start even if this meant they would do it really far from home. The rest of the NBA just opened up training camps at home. The 76ers are in Barcelona, the Clippers in Moscow and the Suns in Treviso, Italy, and Rome.
The Philadelphia 76ers and the Phoenix Suns will later head to Cologne, Germany, for the most important event of the whole trip, a two-day tournament that also includes CSKA Moscow and Maccabi Tel Aviv, the top two finishers in the Euroleague last year. The last event is heavily pushed by the NBA, they are calling it its "most ambitious international initiative," because it comes with a number of marketing and promotional activities.
I think we can all conclude that this is a Public Relations trip more than a preseason preparation, since basketball has become such a global game. What brings the more challenge to the players might be the fact that it is something like 13 time zones. They will be jet lagged and they will be going to be playing two pretty tough teams. But at the end the NBA has high hopes that the teams will accomplish what they want to accomplish, and in the process they might want to take advantage of the trip for the players to get a little culture as well.
