I seen few crazy posts . Guys are horny on African teams and give them too much respect .Every African team has great going forward, but awful defensively and tactically nowhere near good enough to consistenly get through a tournament like this. WC after WC people expect that one of them will do well . Now i hear theory's that they play on home soil and that will help(and this time it's different) . Yeah sure . One of this teams will pull an upset as they always do , and lose very next game .
Ivory Coast , Ghana, Nigeria ,all loaded with players , South Africa (host) .
Then how come Egypt won last TWO African Nations Cup . Egypt must be a power house .
Simply because Egypt are much stronger African defensive side then the rest of the clowns .I watched African Nations Cup games , some of the defending and goalkeeping just comical.
Putting money on some African team is worthless.I'll will be surprised if more then 1 team survives the group stage.
None of the African teams can defend, they're all vastly overrated and will be dog food for any decent side.
