If anything it means Africa is further away then winning a WC more than ever. The big boys cant beat the small teams in Africa, how will they beat the likes of Brazil, Argentina, Italy, etc. ?

I'd rather take a 0-0 wake up call than a 3-1 one
I love to see Cameroon pissed off at home. Let's see how bright the Taifa Stars shine in Yaoundé on June 21st
They're going to driiiiiiiiiiiink garrrri on the rocks that day - you just watch and see

Can we do these qualifiers over please. Wrong results.

Or could it be that the overall quality of the African game has improved tremendously and this has helped level the playing field?
Wouldn't that mean Africa is closer to winning a World Cup because the competitiveness of the African game is better than before?

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 - 16:03

Malawi manager Kinnah Phiri said he is confident that his men are capable of beating Egypt, on Saturday, in a World Cup qualifier.

“The players are in the right frame of mind and prepared to fight for a win,” Phiri told Nyasatimes on Friday.

“We want go give our fans the best result and that should be a win. It is crucial at this stage,” added the Malawi boss.

The Pharaohs are on top of group 12 with six points while Malawi, who thrashed Djibouti 8-1 in the opening game, are second with three points.

Egypt manager Hassan Shehata will have to do without injured Emad Meteb and Mohamed Fadl while Amr Zaki is still doubtful for the game.

However Kinnah said whoever Egypt will feature, Malawi, nicknamed the Flames, are going to scorch them.

I must be dreaming.

Honestly all of that look like a dream.
For many who play bet and win and all those games I am sure none of them have won anything today.
Football in Africa is now very unpredictable.
Shows the quality is improving .
As someone sad, it is all a sign that the day an African side will win the WC is near.

I did. I could have predicted most of these games (not the margins) because I know African footie. Most people here go with rankings and results without looking at the events behind the scenes. For example, Uganda vs Cameroon, 9ja, Ghana, Burkina, Senegal (year they lost 3-0 in Dakar).... is pretty decent. I know Egypt will do anything to avoid Uganda unless the game is in Egypt. Look at how Uganda lost to Benin 4-1. If you look at the records you'd think Benin played the game of their lives. Look closer and you see 2 goals in 2 minutes. In Africa, that's usually a sign of bad officiating, host team foul play getting to the visitors or just a bad day at the office. If you saw the game you'd see that Uganda's goalie was useless. Benin scored only one good goal. The rest were gifts from a flustered goalie. But stuff happens.
Personally, I'm raking in money because most peeps are ignorant of the real football. The Euros though are killing me. I have Germany going to the final with Holland.

Tunisia pull out a 1-0 victory in Bujumbura over Burundi, the winner came via Rahdi Jaidi in the 66TH minute. Unreal how much we miss Yassine Chikaoui as we really should have won this game by far greater margin.

Anyway only one more game left in the Roger Le-Fraud era.

Sadly the FTF chose to retain him until his contract expires on June 30th. Former Portugal and South Korea manmaer Humberto Coleho will take the regins July 1. IMO we should have gone with local manager such as Fouazi Ben Zarti or Khaled Ben Yahia.

TG: Is it true that Chikhaoui's mom is Algerian? Supposedly his younger brother (plays for Etoile or something?) said that.

I heard that but I'm not 100% sure. Would not surprise me as there are thousands of Algerians and Moroccans living in Tunisia. I always thought there was something to all that skill of Chika has very un-Tunisian, his mom being Algerian makes a lot of sense as Chika sure looks more of an Algerian player in the gauze of Madjer, Belloumi and Dahlam etc etc

When I read these kinds of reminiscent messages, I get so much hope. Then reality hits me with our so called "stars" like Achiou, Dziri and co.
