    Let's put it like that:
    CONCACAF teams: Mexico qualified, Costa Rica qualified, Honduras may qualify, USA high chances.
    African teams: Cameroon out, Algeria, Nigeria, Ghana may qualify, Cote d'Ivore high chances.

    Did you just call Nigeria a joke, you will be surprised... I agree Africa is not like Europe and South America, but do not compare us to CONCACAF. Thank God you even mentioned the likes of Tunisia, Morroco, even Egypt could not make it, do you know what qualification is like for African countries the only continent that compares with us on that is Europe...
    Talking about Nigeria, we have been out of the show for a while but we have a new crop coming up and I am pretty sure we will shock the world in this World Cup...

    Sorry my friend, i stick with the fact that the best time of Nigeria is over, the golden generation 1996 Olympics was memorable but after it, nothing, and u should know it. I know ur qualify modus is hard, and i stick with it if i say not always the best go through, like the ivory Coast, never made an Africa cup o qualified for a next round in any worldcup yet, but they there, and potentially stronger teams like morroco o tunesia are not, but yea Nigeria was good, but WAS cheers

    Your position is biased since you have already said you prefer North African style of play.
    Do you know that Ghana beat Egypt an aggregate of 6 -1 during the qualifiers, Algeria escaped narrowly from Burkina Faso... Power does change hands in Football and Africa will soon announce herself as the continent of the world champion...

    Yes i know ghana beat them, and ghana is around the black African teams the strongest one, no problem with that, but i say they have a good game o two but Africans far away from being competitive a entire tournament, ghana made it to 1/4 in South Africa, but that was an exception. I don't say they never win, but it takes a bunch of years till..
    2006 there was atogo, then there was Angola, of course no points... U have good player there but not a team, except Nigeria 1992,that was brilliant, the best African team ever..

    Yea, I must confess Africa's problem is not that of talents but rather administration, imagine Cameroon having a bonus row for close to two years now, Samuel Eto retired from international football because of this issue (of poor remuneration etcetera), when they were on the brink of not qualifying for Brazil they had to beg Eto and made things right with the team because of him and of course he came back and scored the goals needed for qualification...
