Nigeria Ghana Senegal and Egypt are the best African countries in Football.
Why the heck is Nigeria playing Ghana & Senegal playing Egypt to qualify for the world cup?

Imagine if Brazil was playing Argentina to qualify for the World Cup? It doesnt make ANY sense!

the draws had the best five teams as the seeded teams(according FIFA ranking)..it was Senegal, Algeria,Nigeria, Morocco and Tunisia.....the unseeded teams were ghana, Egypt,Mali, DRC and Cameroon...so it was one seeded team vs one unseeded team...so we got Ghana

That's because Africa does not go far during the world cup. If we can have two of our teams in the semis and one in the final, they will increase our slots.
