Brazil, Germany, France - they're the titans of the World Cup. Why? Infrastructure. They offer the leagues, the junior systems, the entire shebang. The issue is, though, avoid sleeping on the underdogs. Africa boasts unvarnished skill. We are discussing actual potential here. Indeed, the leagues are less developed and the funds are not always available. But take a look at the African players leaving. They are illuminating the top teams in Europe. That event? That reflects the national team
Morocco in 2022 was a great event. The gap's closing. The next World Cup, big boys are still favorites. But an upset is not just possible, it's getting more likely every year. Keeping your eyes open will help. Talent is all around. The World Cup will soon become much more fascinating
To be fair money made in the football world is a lot, and Brazil is normally not some hugely wealthy nation, and most of the football players out of there are not rich people, I can think of Kaka who was rich, but aside from that most of them are poor kids coming from poor families and they make millions and in return they do help their nation and the football structure as well, at least most of them.
Same is now happening with Africa, they have been decent at football for a while, but the money there and the scouting wasn't that huge, only for very known places. Now that kids are growing up, they are getting transfers to Europe, and spending that money back on building football schools back in their hometowns, there will be more and more people who will make it out as a rich person out of there. However, even with all of that, Europe and Latin America will stay the most powerful in world cup, it's clear that they know what they are doing.
