I think generally the african teams have great skill and physical strength, they also have some very intelligent midfielders. The only thing they lack is some of the high powered financial team infrastructure that Germany, France, Spain and Brazil have.
I mean the Germans built and managed an entirely new resort in Brazil that helped them win the world cup. That effort in addition to the re-organization down to the roots of German football (initiated by Klinsman) is not something that an african country can do at this time. France and Spain did this earlier and I believe this cost runs in the 100s of millions...
