The African qualifying section for the 2010 World Cup has seen some interesting combinations drawn.

Bafana Bafana have been drawn alongside Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Equatorial Guinea in one of the toughest looking groups.

Hmm, why is there only three in group 9, or was that the way it was drawn.

[admin]

way it was drawn
com'on egypt you can qualify!!! even without mido

[chrishornet1]

I like senegal, but ivory coast or nigeria will kick arse.

Pele said that an African team will win the World Cup by 2011... I don't think so

I think Egypt, Senegal or the Ivory Coast are the most likely, but still, no chance really

[the coder]

Ivory coast are screwed though if Drogs injury is seriously serious

[the coder]

i think the reason group 9 only has 3 is because that wouldve been south africa's group were they not hosting the tourney

[admin]

probably
Egypt are missing their best player for the qualifiers unfortuantley
Mido
who plays for middlesborough who beat arsenal 2-1 ....just saying

[the coder]

not probably, that is the reason why

[chrishornet1]

but south africa are in group 4.

[admin]
