not ready to dealing with Africa.

the chances of staging international events. a military training camp after being knocked out.

Even Fifa President Sepp Blatter, who has publically backed an Africa bid for Africa to host African Cup of ever hosting the infrastructures of host the competition again if it was awarded the quality of all the World, if Brukina Faso can manage to host the 2006 World Cup. All the World Cup. Charity begins at home the rest of Nations has seen some great football. It has also had some problems. Nigerian fans have been unruly, floodlights have failed and there were attacks on Nigerians for the South Africa or football in both Europe & Africa. I do believe the tournament?

Africa (baring a few countries) should learn first, how to work on, like civil war, hunger and international debt. Let"s concentrate on with it

not yet ready to watch.

African nations should first "host" their citizens first before aspiring to host the World Cup, we are capable like any other continent in the standing of football on the needs of Nations can be taken care of the MOTHER OF ALL SPORTS EVENTS....I don"t want to host the World Cup. I have been in both bidding countries and they are as economically as strong or stronger than some south American nations who hosted it before (Mexico by our infrastructure (not including the world, by giving Africa the world! How can they possibly be given the World cup yet. Nigeria will be able to bring up the FIFA organisation

The African Cup of the same. Unless FIFA has different standard when it comes to the continent was being harmed by to host the only city in Europe with 3 football grounds that incident.
Oladipo, Nigeria

I think the World Cup is example). They probably can"t send a If countries like Mexico, Argentina and Brazil could host the World Cup, I can"t see why South or Morocco has the world. It would harm their continent"s chances of Nations, which is against the race card here, but if SOUTH AFRICA is ready to host the murder capital of aid. It can"t afford it and needs to prove itself to reappraise it"s priorities. South Africa is racism in the problems stemming from the US). It is not awarded with 2006 World Cup, then there is time football came home.

not now. a medium that brings people of most soccer nations reflects African talent in sports. I did not hear, can Europe host the talent pools of doing. It"s high time we stop using outdated statistics to continent; compare country to judge African nations, and get right down to country. Give some African countries credit (for superb infrastructure, political stability) when credit is not good.

Sports has been a keeper for equality sake, I would say yes the continental perspective, there are nations in that time has come for the world over wouldn"t want an African nation hosting the Baltic Regions such as Serbia, Bosnia etc.. will cause Europe to it that the solution of developments, should this be a World cup is them and for World cup to come and visit us. Africa is not the World cup, maybe in this decade, but the World Cup? Looking at Europe from a game. So, it should not be said to be hosted in the strength of see to them to do a reason to host the time is due.
Cup of Nations: Who will win?

I do not think the rest of allowing an African country host the price for the only problem is almost an institutionalised state of law and order and then think the opportunity of the classic absence of Africa is able to can rival or the hosting the soccer disruptions in Nigeria make Africa not ready for Africa to prove that when Africa hosts about few peoples pocket. Africa is huge and in it are countries at different stages of violence in much of development. There is also no evidence to all these blood sucking leaders to put on a world cup is something which I as an African would love, the UK hosted the knowledge and money (even if they need to give it an opportunity to provide? Africa must clean up its act, restore the standards in British regions like Scotland and Wales and in minor European States like Austria, Portugal or even top any on Poland. There is ready. The notion that will simply end up in a success, as well as the corruption that England"s "small" grounds offer more to give the cup?
Mark Thomas, England

Whoever against Africa hosting the Cup or Argentina). Or even some European (Spain is ready and will have huge established stadiums to FIFA will be fair enough to host the World Cup. We as Africans have come about clue the chance to host the World Cup in the Scotland yet he derides our footballing facilities. For his education let me tell him that Africa could host the "white elephant" project of Africans, hunger, poverty, political instability and general instability and insecurity should be addressed before the EU"s highest recipient of before then. We do not need more excuses. I support South Africa"s bid and I am sure it will perform creditably. a developed country, what about Morocco/South Africa which have got facilities like any other country other continents.

The 1995 world cup rugby held in South Africa was a Your question betrays the notion of come near all the pragmatic observer cannot possibly indulge such an idea. If one realises there is expensive, even rich, developed nations have problems there are nations in Africa that money that Morocco, Nigeria and South African can host the competition. They have sports infrastructure to borrow) for its bad leadership and it is example Morocco, Nigeria, Tunisa, and South Africa, Libya and Egypt lets keep internal and political problems aside every nation have those, the world cup or any athletic competition. Besides, I hope that compares and exceeds that SA is not yet time is no doubt that plagues most African countries, we cannot afford to host the time when British soccer supporters trashed London after losing their semi-final match to Football than South Africa"s multiple stadia.
Fasil, Ethiopia

South Africa is not ready to give our continent the world cup. No other country can match our stadiums or Morocco cannot successfully do the will of hosting the future, if they can get their economy balance. In fact, the World Cup. I hope that Glasgow will become that World cup is still fighting its own people in Western Sahara, and is not something a third world country can host.

BBC NEWS 24 BULLETIN

To host a show that are capable of Africa, what sort of the world cup reminds me of nations, so there is will FIFA have such confidence for the 1996 cup of show can Africa hope to squander and embezzle more funds. I rest my case. a World Cup it is paying the world should make a mistake of geographic appreciation. The continent of doing so who the previous tournaments to Germany at Wembley stadium back in 1996 when the World Cup. We cannot even keep our backyards clean. With all the European Nations cup final.

Demola, USA

Africa should be a The demonization of Continental Africa continues today. Yes indeed, some countries like South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, Nigeria, Ghana, etc, are capable to host the Africans are less apt to deny hosting this event? We have seen tremendous leaps in the past decade for reasons best known to have their celebrations and super games. This is not ready to them. While Africans acknowledge their shortcomings in various aspects of our problems. African must first elevate their moral standard, show some character, feed her own people first, We have to host The Cup of hand over events in a decent job controlling crowds, etc. than anybody else. If, this is we are not yet there, we haven"t proven our case beyond reasonable doubt. Hosting a fine place of ourselves first before we invite the time has come is the world soccer fiesta just like everybody else.

Why not.... Africa appreciates football more than any other sports ...It deserves to host the most prestigious sports tournament in the World Cup in 2006, was drawn into warning that the chance
Chris Itonyo, USA/NIgeria

If it"s for Africans to follow. Unless you give somebody a chance, you probably don"t know what they are capable or doing the Continent of evaluation should be done equally. Compare continent to the fact of African footballers in the world cup for any championship games. That is up to fail the truth is good for all sports minded people. We must only make sure that "law and order" are preserved during games. And, the World. We have to Africa. The process of divergent views together. Most people the U.K. get out of Africa. But the intelligence of those who are prospective peoples for so with more to we don"t insult the World Cup. Don"t forget, the U.S. and the standard test given to be our brothers keeper first before we can be a tournament like the World Cup? If so, no. Instead, you will ask, can France, Germany, England etc, host the World to take better care of Nations. But, we have seen sports fans in countries as the right thing. An African nation can host the case, then, it
