wow, cant believe that senegal didnt make it to the WC
There are a number of African teams I'm really disappointed are not in the World Cup. Senegal in this example, then there's Morocco who just beat the U.S. in Nashville. Then there's African champs Egypt, and perennial powers Cameroon and Nigeria all missing out on the World Cup.
The main reason a lot of African teams couldnt make it was the way the final qualifiers were held with about 5 groups of 5 or 6 teams each, where ONLY the group winners could qualify. This allowed the less-fancied sides to take the more illustrious rivals through difficult games and the better sides in a group matched each other out.
