Just as each team announced the rosters one after another, a ridiculous news broke out between Ghana, that is, the team forgot to bring their jerseys while flying. Fortunately, the team promptly refuted the rumors and clarified the matter clearly. However, this news also indirectly reflects that everyone is very bad about Ghana's prospects in the World Cup. In addition, some time ago, Mane was injured, and it is still unknown when it will return to the arena. This reminds people of the fact that African teams always performed poorly in the World Cup in previous years, and it may be very difficult for African teams to break their fate this year.
In the previous World Cups, African teams did not have a high presence, and some teams even had negative news and became a laughing stock. At the South African World Cup held locally, only African teams qualified. Four years later, in the Brazil World Cup, two teams in Africa qualify, and their performance is quite reasonable, but the Cameroon team broke out in internal conflict, which also made it the first team to be eliminated for two consecutive World Cups. In the Russian World Cup four years ago, the African team was wiped out in the group stage, and Senegal even became the first team in the history of the World Cup to be eliminated due to the large number of yellow cards. In these World Cups, African teams have been studying with the prince.
Among these African teams, Cameroon and Ghana returned to the World Cup after eight years. Both teams have reached the World Cup quarterfinals, but this time they may find it difficult to replicate such a miracle. Their lineup this time is much dimmer than that of 8 years ago. Four years ago, Cameroon had stars such as Etoo and Song, and Ghana also had powerful players like Boateng . African teams themselves are not good at teamwork and lack stars in offense, which will make them lack competitiveness. In this World Cup, the group opponents of these two teams are very strong, and they may have to go a long way.
Compared with the other three African teams, Morocco and Tunisia are teams from North Africa . Their performance in the last World Cup was more amazing. Morocco suppressed Portugal on the scene and tied Spain; while Tunisia almost tied England and defeated Panama. This time, their group match opponents are much better than the previous one. Tunisia's opponents include France, which is full of wounded soldiers, Australia, which is the weakest in history, and Denmark, which is aging main player, while Morocco's opponents include , Belgium, , and , Croatia, , and Canada, which has returned to the World Cup after decades. Compared with the other three African brothers, their prospects for qualifying are brighter.
Last time he was the defending champion in France, Senegal became a big dark horse. This time France is still the defending champion, but they lost their core player Mane. However, Senegal is emerging one after another for young talents, and I believe they will also perform wonderfully. Senegal had good luck in the last World Cup, but unfortunately he was eliminated because of the large number of yellow cards. This time their group is strong, including host Qatar , the top Dutch team among the second teams, and Ecuador, the most powerful team among the fourth teams, and the chances of qualifying are relatively slim. But we still hope that Mane can make a comeback in time and leave his own footprints in Qatar.
Let us wait and see how these African teams perform in the World Cup.
