These teams made it into the World Cup from Africa
South Africa
Cameroon
Nigeria (defeated Cote D’Ivoire in away goals)
Algeria (upended Tunisia)
Senegal (took out Egypt)
Cameroon are the heavies, having won the last two African Cup of Nations.
Rodrigues was MOM in Portugal’s 1-0 victory over N Ireland in the Playoff for a WC Spot.
Luis Martins picked up his first two caps for Portugal
I make a few modifications to my starters for the DRC friendly. I start Mokotjo at the DR, Tchoutou across from Rantie, Vilakazi in the MC spot. We lose badly on the road 3-0. Mokotjo gave them an OG too.
Portugal barely defeated N Ireland here in Portugal 3-2, and Belgium, Denmark and Austria are also qualified from the playoffs.
