Cameroon's Roger Milla, right, about to score the first of his two goals against Romania, as Romanian defender Gheorghe Popescu tries to stop him, during the World Cup soccer match in Bari, Italy. This was to be Africa's World Cup, not just the first to take place on the continent but also a chance for its teams to excel. Mostly, however, it's been another letdown, and the post-mortems have begun. Explanations abound - and several have the ring of truth: weak youth development programs, lack of depth on the national teams, overreliance on non-African coaches hired for brief World Cup tenures, national governing bodies that lack world-class professionalism.
