On the other hand, during the dodgy WCQ that Kenya was narrowly edged out of , Cameroon loses to Nigeria by a suspicious score line!
Nigeria?! :curse: :curse: :veryangry: The latter has not qualified for two editions of CAN. The team is rusty and has a leaky defense line. The forward line consists of players who are rarely in the first 11 wherever they ply their trade.
Yet they are on the verge of qualifying for the World Cup!! :???: :???: . What is this ?
Something is wrong and we will complain to FIFA if the wrong teams are sent from Africa.
We don't want a repeat of Zaire 1974 at the World cup.!

You are right. Fifa should suspend the qualifiers and send Kenya as the sole rep from Africa. Nigeria also used many Biafrans to prosecute these matches...2 countries ganging up against Cameroon.
Imagine if they were told to return all the trophies won by the brave Biafrans. There would be very little to celebrate in that region .
How old were the Naija players (median age) when they defeated Cameroon against the run of the play?

Good players are hard to come by. They come about once in every generation or about 27 years. There's never been a true striker in Nigeria since Rashidi Yekini. They had ballers like Amokachi and JJ Okocha. The rest were not quite impressive although I have to give them "A" for effort. All those mentioned cannot even touch Roger Milla's shoe laces, let alone tie them o! In your case, Tunisia has never had a true striker. Can you just mention one name from Tunisia? One famous striker like Algeria's Belloumi or Madjer?
