African football sadly is going down the trend after a brief high in the 90's - Scandal after scandal is finally putting paid to youth schemes that brought stars like Gorge Opong Weah, Roger Milla, Jack Songoo & many others to grace the european scene.
It is a pity that countries like France & Germany, Netherlands etc which have long been nurturing talents from Africa have been forced to cut down on foreign players by FIFA. While restricting the number of foreign players in Europe has led to improvement in football in Europe it's effect has been devastating to Africa.
As the economies of many countries in Africa worsen then talented kids just have to go to work instead of excelling in sports :down:
FIFA has to think of a way of reviving African Football ...... Many will say am negative but the rate of African Football has been declining steadily.
