Baffoe, who earned 16 caps for Ghana in the 1990s, said though the six teams that represented the continent at the World Cup had a poor showing, they had come a long way from the days when indiscipline and quarrels over pay reigned.
"African teams are moving ahead, both in administration and organisation. If you remember not long ago, there always were fights about bonuses, but this time you did not hear anything about that," Baffoe told journalists.
"We have a lot of talents. I believe what we still have to work on is psychologically and mentally to be ready. We have shown that we are disciplined and also tactically, we are organised. We are coming closer," he said.
However, Baffoe bemoaned the lack of determination shown by Africa's football power houses during the early round of the tournament.
"I was disappointed with Nigeria to be honest. Ivory Coast had a very tough group, but they should have won the match against Portugal," he added.
"It was a drama, it was like a movie. I was very sad. We had it in our own hands to win the match and go to the semi-finals," Baffoe said.
"Football can be cruel and yesterday, it was for Ghana," he added.
"I missed the final penalty in Senegal in 1992," Baffoe said of a decisive penalty he missed during the final of the African Cup of Nations, a miss that handed the trophy to Ivory Coast.
"The greatest thing is that when I came back home, people carried me. That showed that they were satisfied with our performance, same as Asamoah Gyan will be," he said.
