Synopsis

The South African national team is in disarray - after the sacking of their coach Joel Santana, earlier in the week. World Football's in Johannesburg to asses what's wrong with the hosts of next year's World Cup.

Ghana are World Under 20 champions, but what chance an African team winning the senior tournament? Former Nigerian midfielder Sunday Oliseh tells Alan Green that incompetence at the very top is holding many African teams back.

Plus, one of the games leading anti-discrimination campaigners feels that Football's governing body, FIFA - should be doing more to help them in their fight against racism.

While we are on the subject of FIFA, Sepp Blatter, the president hints he will stand for another term. He's been in charge since 1998 and we look at whether another 4 years of Mr Blatter's leadership would be good for football?
