they've never hosted a World Cup and when they do...
I expect one team like Korea in 2002 to get favourable decisions and manage to sneak through to the SF. Hopefully one of them will do this year. The south american countries generally don't win in europe and european countries have never won outside europe. So Africa are already at one major disadvantage on that score.
