All the "Traditional Top 5 teams" are out of the AFCON

Post by Tobi17 »

Only Nigeria (6th on CAF ranking) and Ivory Coast (9th) are left.

This is shaping up to be the tournament of the dark horses, it has NEVER happened in AFCON history before and I stand corrected.

The current rankings are the most unrealistic there’s ever been. Tunisia is not, by any stretch of the imagination, an African top 5 team; and neither is Egypt🤔❗️


Cheers.

I blame Hayatou :!:

Ever since he left, everything is better.
At this rate, a CAF minnow will win the World Cup before the so called “big teams.” :wink: :D

We need to define a minnow.

Minnowship is relative, teams like Cape Verde, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, heck even Comoros etc can't be considered as big achievers on the African football stage as far as pedigree and winning trophies go, yet they have done absolutely well recently to be considered dark horses rather than "minnows". Uganda on the other hand...

Maybe more significant - the 5 at the last world cup did not reach the q-finals.
