It's bigger than that, honest!
Senegal, Tunisia, Morocco, Cameroon and Ghana will be representing the continent this year. Thought I create a home in this thread to track African teams' progress.
Who's going to have the best tournament?
Senegal is Africa's top team but how's their chances now that Mané has officially been ruled out?
Both Tunisia and Morocco find themselves in well groups with balanced opposition. Tunisia are as always a well drilled team and will fancy themselves at least against Denmark and Australia.
Morocco in particular have some top players like Hakimi, Mazraoui, Ziyech who won't be fazed by the competition.
Cameroon and Ghana are in much tougher groups but both have the pedigree. Cameroon may not have the household names of yesteryear but they qualified knocking out both Ivory Coast and Algeria so they're not too shabby.
Ghana is the lowest ranked team in the tournament but are they playing a long con on everyone by pretending they're shite? Just saw them comfortably brush aside Switzerland 2-0 with both Partey and Kudus (arguably thier 2 best players) not playing a single minute.
So will Africa finally shine in Qatar or is this thread going to be closed after the Group stages??
