is down to ghana now...
Ghana gettin likk out
Not only has SA been the only host nation not to progress to the 2nd round of the World Cup
But Africa will be the only Confederation not to have a representative in the 2nd round of the World Cup
And this comes with them having an all time high 6 spots in the World Cup.
ATROCIOUS!
But it's not surprising when you look at qualifying for the African Zone.
Cameroon had to play 6 matches....against Gabon, Togo, and Morocco. Morocco being the only top team
Nigeria had to play 6 matches...against Tunisia, Mozambique, and Kenya. Tunisia being the only top team
Algeria had to play 6 matches....against Egypt, Zambia, and Rawana. Egypt being the only top team
Ghana had to play 6 matches....against Benin, Mali and Sudan. No top team there
Ivory Coast had to play 6 matches....against Burkina Faso, Malawai, and Guinea. No top team there.
So basically, they don't have much to do to qualify. At most...one top team in your group. Algeria had the toughest task with Egypt in their group and that ended up having to go to a playoff.
Given what African teams had to do to qualify, not surprising they didn't do well in this World Cup.
Is like New Zealand qualifying for the World Cup when they have to play Solomon Islands, Samoa, etc
