Togo outed Senegal in the qualifications. Senegal beat France in 2002. Will Togo beat France in group G?

No way!!\nZidane, Henry, and Lizarazu were all injured for the Senegal game. Senegal, on the other hand had 6 top players retire over the last 4 years. Togo is a decent team, but nowhere near the level that France is on right now. As long as everyone stays healthy, I predict that France will win group G, and advance to the quarterfinals.

Did not qualify.  Lost out to Angola even though they have the same record Angola had a better head to head record winning at home and tying on the road.  Better luck to the boys in 2010.

Personne ne peut le prouver. Mais à mon avis, la France a plus ou moins arrangé le match.\n\nDéjà parce que l'équipe de France est populaire en Afrique, parce que la France est aimée en Afrique, ensuite l'équipe est pleine de gens d'origine africaine.\n\nEnsuite le Togo n'avait rien à gagner.\n\nJe ne pense pas qu'ils aient payé des primes, mais c'est tellement facile de leur acheter des joueurs à fort prix pour la saison prochaine, ou bien de prendre leurs jeunes dans les centres de formation français.\n\nEnsuite je ne pense pas que ça soit totalement truqué, mais peut être que l'entraineur leur a dit de ne pas se défoncer. Quand on voit qu'Adébayor a été très loin de la surface tout le match...

Dear  Tfrosts ,\n Nowadays football is hard to predict.Who could predict Cameroon's win against Argentina in the opening match of 1990 and the same story for Senegal win against France in 2002 ??\nVidic( Serbia & Manchester United defender) believes  that they can be the Greece of EURO 2004  in Portugal and sock every one.\nWe will wait to see !\nBest Regards..Iranian Bobby(Hopefulboy1978@yahoo.com)

They wont.Best chance has probably gone.Should have beaten Germany in 2002 querter-finals.and might have reached final. I dont think they will better 2002 this time.

Goal difference you moron . Ghana have scored 2 & conceded 2 so they have GD = 0. Czechs have scored 3 & conceded 2 so GD = +1.

Every World Cup there seems to be a surprise.  This time it will be no different.  I remember when Cameroon upset Argentina in Italia 90.  Then Nigeria had a good run in USA 94.  In France 98, Senegal started off the festivities by defeating host France by the minimal difference 1-0.  I believe the African team with the best chances of being successful in Germany 06 is Ivory Coast.  Even though they are located in the "Group of Death" alongside Argentina, Holland and Serbia, players like Didier Drogba have the talent and skill to provide some wonderful moments.  The action is right around the corner.  I can't wait any longer.

Really Ghana's performance against the Czechs were best ever by an African team in WC . I would love to see them go far. Why not beat Brazil in 2nd round ??? But you know what African teams dont yet have that maturity, dicipline & experience to go all the way. I would love to see Ghana in semis,.
1069793
btw, france isn't qualifying to the 2nd round! and with zidane kicked out, man they're in deeeeep sh**. muahaha that's for all brazil fans in 1998 >:]\n\nanyways, they're gonna be:\nargentina\nbrazil\nengland\nspain\nitaly\ngermany\nportugal\nnetherlands

Angola, Togo, Cote DE Voir, and Ghana for the first time in their history. Tunisia is appearing for the 4th time to in the finals after 1978, 1998, and 2002
350025
No waay. This is the World Cup and not the Euro. Second of all, Greece had skillful players in Dellas, Karagounis, Giannkopoulos, Chariastes, Basinas, etc... Togo only have Adebayor that is worthy of any notice.

The five teams representing Africa at this year's world cup are Tunisia, Angola, Cote D' Ivoire( Ivory Coast), Togo and Ghana. Out of these, Togo, Angola, Cote D'Ivoire and Ghana have qualified for the world cup for the first time.

On paper it doesn't look likely at all, but then the World Cup is known to pull a few surprises or two and African teams are especially known to be unpredictable. Who would have thought that Senegal would qualify from their group in 2002? Or that South Korea and Turkey would make it all the way to the Semi-Final stage?\n\nHowever, I think you are correct. I cannot see any African progressing beyond the last 16. Maybe Ivory Coast but that again is a long shot.

Well, since Senegal and Cameroon didn't make the World Cup this time, you might want to go with the only country that's been there before, Tunisia.  They're in a moderately tough group, with Spain, Ukraine, and Saudi Arabia.\n\nAngola also got a decent draw with Iran, Mexico, and Portugal, as did Togo, with France, Switzerland, and South Korea.  Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana got drawn into Groups of Death (Cote d'Ivoire with Serbia, Argentina, and Netherlands, while Ghana is in with Italy, Czech Republic, and the United States).\n\nNice of the two above me to know who actually made it to Germany...
766995
Whoa....Thanks for an easy question, FRANCE even with hands tied behind their backs.  \n\nIn 1998, France beat Brazil 3 -nothing, then against Italy roughly 5 -nothing.  Yeehaw....
993788
I am not Korean but I will still answer this. I like their chances in Group G. It's expected that France move on number one in the group, but then South Korea doesn't have big-time competition(Switzerland, Togo). I think the Koreans will beat the Swiss because of Lee Young-Pyo, Park Ji-Sung, Lee Eul-Yong, and Seol Ki-Hyeon.
