South Africa. That would be the first world cup help on the african continent. The other candidates were Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia

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.

I am glad that South Africa is hosting the 2010 World Cup.  But I take it with a grain of salt.  I think FIFA wants an African host, but doesn't have the confidence in most African nations to be capable of hosting such a large international event.  It is unfortunate because of all the great soccer nations in Africa, South Africa is not on the top of my list.

Nope, and its never going to happen. Maybe if an african coach coaching an African team wins the world cup, it might happen but it is very unlikely.

Yes! Brazil do not like they are World Cup champs this time around. Ghana on the other hand have everything to play for and most importantly have a style of play that Brazil are not used to. The support of all the African nations will help Ghana. Brazil don't have the support of all of South America\n\nGo Ghana!!

All the african nations recently have made an impact on the world stage - Nigeria, Cameroon and Senegal especially. To be honest I think Togo and Angola might not create too many shocks, they are in tough groups with seasoned campaigners but I would be very wary of the Ivory Coast

starting off with the african nations...remember that cameroon, nigeria, and senegal are not in the world cup. so that takes some good skill to beat these teams. angola togo ghana and the ivory coast are not teams to sleep on. esien drogba(from chelsea) are great players...theres players in the french league, german etc.. scattered all around..so teams like mexico/portugal argentina/netherlands italy/us should not over look them...there fast and talented a deadly combination\n\nthe south american teams except for a few big names tend to stay in there country/continent so jus cuz there not playin in europe doesnt mean that they cant produce wins. paraguay has many players playin in germany..ecuador has 2 or 3 in europe but other than that they tend to stay home or close to it
