i disagree.
In Africa right now,we're behind a number of team,Ivory Coast one of them.
In fact they have a better chance of winning the World cup than any other African Nation at the moment.If that happens,5th place in the rankings would be a forgotten issue,i tell you.

keep decieving urself. u are talking of a feat achived over 10yrs ago. on the world cup stage,
1-we were not the first to qualify cos i think countries like tunisia were already goin in the 70's.
2-we dont hav d most apperances
3-we didnt progress the farthest as cameroon and senegal don reach Q/final

even at nations cup level, we dont have the most wins cos while egypt has 5, ghana 4, and cameroon 4, we are just managing 2.
like i said stop decieving urself
