If an African team has to lose in the 1st round of the WC ..

Post by Scipio Africanus »

I would rather the 3 points be collected by another African team. Can you imagine if we had been in a group like

Belgium
England
Nigeria
Tunisia


or

Uruguay
Nigeria
Egypt
Saudi Arabia

na automatic second round be dat! :tic: FIFA should do away with this continental protection BS where no two African or Asian teams can be in the same group.

As it is African teams have been guaranteed points for teams from other confederations. Charity should begin at home. Give the points to your fellow Africans :curse:

Wha choo looking at?!

This was the first world cup in 36 yrs that we have not had an African team in Round of 16, last one we had 2, we need to fight against the best to be the best, if it means we all go out in first round, then it shows we have a lot more work to do instead of hiding behind each other :D
For my sceptical Nigerian Friends : Pessimism is great because you are either always right or pleasantly surprised.
