Tony,you are joking.You have twisted
parameters as far as performance is
concerned. We are far way back and
African players and Associations are nothing to write home about. Bye Bye
You`re right in terms of the performance you mentioned but that of the management, it`s up to them to put things right. FIFA has nothing to do or say about that. African countries go to the world cup but just one or two go be ...

We couldn't even make good use of the few we had, yet fighting for more? What good would it be for Africans---except for more head-butts from Benoit Essou Ekotto? Or do you want to see more John Boyes passing their tongues o ...

Africa is useless. We do not deserve 5 slots!!!
I NOMINATE BAFFOE FOR GFA HEAD. HOWEVER, I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH HIM.. TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS EXPECTED. IF AFRICA CANT DO MUCH WITH 5, WHAT MAKES U THINK THEY CAN DO MORE WITH 10? AFRICA WENT FROM 1 SLOT TO 3 AND ...

Listen guy, the African players-especially the Black Star players are as good as and even better compared to some other teams that featured during the world cup. The problem is always incompetent management and corruption tha ...

Africa is best in corruption, disgrace game fixing greedyness asylum seekers n world cup is about football
hahaha... more of the money saga at the world cup? I think three slots are enough for Africa and that It should go to West African Countries must not be included...
Amazing how deceptive people can be. Tony Bafoe cited 2006 and 2010 African performances at the world cup as reasons for Africa to be considered for more slots at subsequent world cup. Unfortunately, those were the years Afri ...

IT MAKES SENSE TO GET MORE SLOTS BECAUSE OF THE POPULATION AND THE NUMBER OF COUNTRIES MAKING THE CONTINENT. IT DOES NOT SEEM FAIR FOR THE NORTH AMERICANS TO GET THAT MANY SLOTS PLAYS A CHANE TO ADD MORE BY WAY OF PLAYOFFS. T ...

WE ARE ONLY BEING REALISTIC AND TRUE TO OURSELVES. WHAT WAS OUR PERFORMANCE LIKE IN THE LAST WORLD CUP?
WHAT WAS THE PERFORMANCE OF ENGLAND, SPAIN, ITALY , PORTUGAL AND MANY OTHERS. WE DID NOT PERFORM WELL BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE THE PLAYERS TO PERFORM. HOW MANY OF OUR PLAYERS PLAY FOR BIG TIME TEAMS LIKE MAN U, MAN CITY, BARCA, ...

We don't deserve more slots. Sorry
He must be joking!!!
Maybe 3 guaranteed slots and 2 playoff slots at best. Even that is generous
I think anthony is right. Realistically speaking African football has improved a lot and gone are the days when all forcasts will send the African teams to the bottom of groups in every competition. Times have change and thes ...

EVEN ASIA HAS ABETTER RECORD AT THE CONFED AND WCUP THAN AFRICA. AFRICA IS THE WORST PERFORMING CINTINENT AT THE CONFED AND WCUP. SO THERE IS NO NEED FOR AN INCREASE IN SLOTS....
Tony i have always admired you as well as respecting your views but on this issue,i don't.Why?
For the simple fact that no African country has ever manage to get to the semi final stage since it's inception.
We must stop de ...

How are you gonna convince FIFA about that, with all the current teams performing below par? Africa got talents, but poor coaching, management and corruption are killing the overall performance of the teams in the continent.
