The elimination of Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt puts the mantle of expectation on the West African nations of Senegal and Nigeria. The Lions of Teranga sit on 4 points in Group H, with a game to come against Colombia. A draw likely sees Senegal through to the Round of 16. The Super Eagles of Nigeria rest with 3 points, and a game against Argentina. A draw likely sees them advancing, barring an Iceland victory over Croatia that sees the Ice Men amass a greater goal difference over Nigeria. Not since 1982 has the World Cup Round of 16 failed to feature an African team. Here are the African teams that have advanced past the Group Stage of every World Cup, since 1986. 1986 - Morocco 1990 - Cameroon 1994 - Nigeria 1998 - Nigeria 2002 - Senegal 2006 - Ghana 2010 - Ghana 2014 - Nigeria, and Algeria |
