    I’m very surprised that not one person from any of the particapating countries have written a response about the level of competition in African Football. The Europeans are running to the continent for talented players, these actions should point-out that football on the continent in a whole is being played at an elite level. FYI, 64% of the Barclays Premiership players in England are foriegn born. Also, please take look at PanAfricanSports.com,Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba’s remarks about African talent in Europe.
