Is there any African team that has the aforementioned qualities?
Nigeria! Although the Serbian game made me cautious

Nigeria, Tunisia, Senegal, Morocco and Egypt are the continent’s representatives in Russia, and they would be hoping to challenge for the coveted trophy.

Since Africa’s first participation in the quadrennial football showpiece in 1934, only Cameroon (1990), Senegal (2002), and Ghana (2010) have reached the competition’s last eight.

And the 41-year-old does not believe the five African flagbearers can challenge the status quo, because they are still a step behind the top teams.

"I could say Africa will be in the semis, we're going to win, but that's not the reality," Lauren told BBCSport.

"To be honest with you, I can't see any of them go further than the quarter finals. This is my honest opinion because we are still one step behind the top teams.

"I can't see them challenge Germany, Argentina, Spain or Brazil, they are not in that level.

"I don't like to lie to people. I am very honest, I speak my mind because we don't do things the right way.

"It happens in football, it happens in so many other African societies."

The 2018 World Cup kicks off on June 14 when hosts Russia tackle Saudi Arabia in the opening game at the Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow.

PLEASE REFER TO THE HIGHLIGHTED

Isn't that true? In football and other things?

Someone who has played the game at the top most level says it as he sees it but some how he still gets insulted. damn shame.

Lauren called it correct.
