THIS IS A COMPLETE JOKE!. GH SHOULDNT EVEN BE IN BRASIL. BE GRATEFUL TO UR FOREIGN BASED N NON GH BORN PLAYERS. IF FIFA SHOULD GIVE SLOTS TO ANYONE. IT SHOULD BE THE MIDDLE EAST,ASIA, S AMERICA N N AMERICA. YJEY HVE BETTER LEAGUE, HIGHER PAID SALARIES. THEY HVE INVESTED IN SOCCER FACILITIES TO PROMOTE THE SPORT. AFRICA IS DOING THE OPPOSITE.

THERE ARE THREE BASIC AND SENSICAL REASONS AFRICA HAS STRUGGLED TO WIN THE WORLD CUP.
1. FIRST THE PROBABILITY OF WINNING IS LOW. MATHEMATICS IS IMPORTANT IN ANY ARGUMENT. THE PROBABILITY OF AN AFRICAN TEAM WINNING THE WC IS 5/32 OR 16 PERCENT OR 0.156. THIS MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO WIN.
2. HOSTING THE TORMENTS COMES WITH EXPERIENCE AND CONFIDENCE. RAJA CASABLANCA NEARLY WON THE FIFA WORLD CUP BY REASON OF HOSTING. AS COMPARED WITH AL-AHLI OF EGYPT. THE HOSTING HAS HELP THE EUROPEAN AND SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES. AT LEAST YOU STAND THE CHANCE OF DOING WELL WITHIN YOUR CONTINENT.
3 OFFICIATING HAS BEEN AFRICA'S BIGGEST BANE. REFEREES GO INTO MATCHES WITH BIAS MIND TOWARDS AFRICA. WE ARE EASILY CARDED TO WEAKEN OUR TEAM. RECALL MICHAEL ESSIEN'S OFFENSE THAT MADE HIM MISS THE BRAZIL GAME IN 2006. I AM SURPRISED A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T BRING THEIR MINDS TO THAT. FOR ME THAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE AMONG THE THREE.
LET US OPEN OUR EYES AND LOOK AT WHAT SOME OF ESPECIALLY EUROPEAN OFFICIALS DO AGAINST AFRICAN TEAMS AND PLAYERS.
THESE THREE ARE AFRICA'S BIGGEST CHALLENGE TO WINNING THE WORLD CUP AND NOT OUR PERFORMANCE.

Africans need to improve their performance and stop the unnecessary accusations. If Ghana can win under 21 what's preventing them from wining the world cup. Which means Ghana win under 21 because the referees were bias?

The first goal is to get more than one team out of the group stages. Being objective, I would not increase numbers when only one African team makes it beyond the group stages every WC.

Even in simple mathematics, assuming you give Africa eight slots, there is a possibility that two of them would meet at the quarter finals, and of course, an African country is through to the semis, and finals, if possible. Now, it two european countries meet at the quarter finals, because there have 13 slots, of course, europe will always be named due to their more slots benefits. Bias FIFA

If Africa teams play more mental game than buga buga, maybe we shall get more slots. Let face it, a lot of African teams are not up to the task yet. We want quality football not quantity. Am tired of politicizing everything.

1. Blatter, just raise the participation from 32 to 48 countries and afford more African counties, say, 5 more, the opportunity.
What about 64 countries because of the increasing number of fans, especially in Asia and North America?
After all, we've also had several new countries since 1990.
2. Return AUTOMATIC QUALIFICATION to defending champions, even to the second-placed nation.
3. Allow 33 players instead of the current 23 per team, because, as I said before, 2 players representing each position, plus 3 goalkeepers, are not enough for a 7-game odyssey to the World Cup title, as the 2 can easily get injured along the way.
Give us players who can play fit and healthy and thus give the global fans the best product.

Africa wants more slots because she has a sizeable number of member Associations. Those who oppose the idea say few African teams have hitherto managed to progress from the group stage. I want to know if the draw is really genuine. Why does FIFA continue to call on ex-players to ballot? Why not for charity sake call blind musicians or others to pick the draw balls? I don't believe the ex-players when they turn and turn those shiny balls in the bowls.
Ghana was the only Africa team to emerge from the group in 2010. See what has happened to its group in Brazil. Ghana U-17 Women team was 3rd in Azerbadjan in 2012. See what team Ghana has to play in 2014? I agree that once you qualifies for the WC a team must be ready to play any other qualified team. But let transparency take place. Even the top ranked teams have secret preferences. African teams are frustrated to perform then their appreciable performance is termed poor (unable to exit the group stage) and therefore, does not justify increased slots for African nations.
