Nigeria and Cameroon Didn’t Do Well At The World Cup ‘Cos Of Organizational Problems - Arsene Wenger

Arsenal head coach, Arsene Wenger during a
recent interview with The Mirror, UK, said the
problem of African teams, particularly the Super
Eagles and Indomitable Lions of Cameroon was
organizational problems and not quality.
Excerpts:
Q: Five Africa teams. Not one in the quarter-
finals, why?
A: Why? Because I don’t think it’s purely down
to quality. I think it comes down to
organisational problems before the World Cup
and during the World Cup.
I think what hurt football fans both in Cameroon
and Nigeria – two big footballing nations – was
not that their countries did not reach the
quarter-finals, it was the fact that both teams
had no solidarity and they had problems that
were exposed all over the world before the
competition and that’s the main reason. Football
is difficult enough when you are united but if you
are not united at that stage then you have no
chance.
Having said that, I would still like to give some
credit to Algeria. They played so well and at
some points they even made Germany look
average in that quarter-final and they were the
only country who could do that.
Overall though I would have liked to have seen
more from the African countries.
