wow! thanks for the enlightenment. Senegal will still see them out, they're no match to this current senegal squad. They don't even have a coach presently.

Nigeria won all their group stage matches during last AFCON only to lose out at the knockout stage to Tunisia who qualified as best losers. Football can be very unpredictable, Cote D'Ivoire might just pull a surprise against Senegal.

You are totally right, Zambia gifted them the round 16 fixture .Supposing they draw against Morocco they (Zambia) would have been in while the Elephants would be out having 3point and lesser goal difference (-3)

Zambians tried so hard to come back from that goal deficit but they just couldn't convert their chances. I felt bad for them last night but I'm glad the hosts qualified

. Everywhere on our planet is rich. 'Desert' is a human concept. Desert countries are among the richest in the world, ẹ.g. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, etc. Niger, Chad, Mali and northern part of Nigeria, for example are very rich in both human and natural resources, but some devils have made them believe that killing, stealing, and destruction are the way to happiness. Not all of them but most of them. As far as God is concerned no place on the earth is a desert.

Geographically, yes; politically no. They'd rather see themselves as western part of North Africa, Just like Cameroun which decided to run to Central Africa for fear of Nigeria whereas geographically it belongs in West Africa. So, Mauritania is 100% North Africa for now.

They are a member of the West African Football Union (WAFU) but are not a full member of ECOWAS which currently officially has 15 member states. It used to have 16 member states until Mauritania pulled out.

Wikipaedia has this to say about them:
'Arabic-speaking Mauritania, was one of the founding members of ECOWAS in 1975 and decided to withdraw in December 2000. Mauritania signed a new associate-membership agreement in August 2017.'

They are like a bat, so we dash them to north Africa

If we scale Cameroon, we'll be meeting either of Namibia or Angola. It's time to punish Angola for preventing us from qualifying for the 2006 world cup.

Thanks bro God bless you for making me to understand

Before, it used to be 16 teams (4groups) such that only the first and second from each group qualify for the quarter finals (8 teams).

However, this changed since last Afcon. 24teams now qualify to play in the qualification stage, the top two teams from each group qualifies automatically given 12teams then the remaining 4teams that make up the round of 16 stage are selected from the best third placed teams based on their performance (first by points and then by goal differences) in the group stage.
