    All African teams are out of the World Cup. So what was to blame: bad luck, VAR or a lack of flair?https://bbc.in/2yXpWXS

        CAF should look into the qualifying process and make a characteristic balance in the groupings. How can Nigeria, Cameroon & Algeria be paired in the same group when each of the countries has the potentialities and capabilities of qualifying from other groups.

        None of the above... it’s down to bad planning and inadequate teamwork!

        Lack of skills and professionalism still the greatest obstacle to Africa's greatness in football. Once they are worked on, I bet they'll put up a pretty amazing show to the rest of the world.

        VAR is to blame, luck was on our side but VAR controllers had the powers to change the game. Some game plans didn’t suit us as well, especially tactics not favouring unsporting behaviours.

        We didn't perform well, little inexperirnces and also poor officiating against Africans by officials. VAR would show the video of all the fouls that had happen during the matchs, but refrees are denying to award the fouls after examining it.
