African teams can bring the Fifa World Cup home

-

I couldn’t watch the Tunisia vs Denmark match due to loadsheddi­ng.

When I turned on the radio the match had just ended in a goalless draw. The celebratio­n and excitement of the Tunisians was so loud, jubilant and palpable. One would have thought Tunisia had not only beaten Denmark but had just won the 2022 World Cup.

I’m not against celebratio­ns, but I feel that we as Africans still believe we will not win World Cup unless “miracles” like forcing a goalless draw happen.

We cannot afford to be underdogs when we have so many of our African players performing well in clubs in Europe and other continents.

Now is the time for Africa to win the World Cup, and yes we can. Andy Mukari, email
