Along with Germany's group, not to mention ours, it's the most open-ended (and, therefore, exciting) by a long shot.

Pretty crap WC for the African teams though, plenty of physical stuff and approach, but a real shortage of skill where it matters, not to mention their normal trend of hiring coaches just a couple of months before the finals.
You could roll up the big 4 African sides: Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana and Ivory Coast and take the best players out of each, form one team and you`d still get the same ineffective game out of them.
South Africa and Algeria are just not good enough full stop unless of course they`re playing against England!!!
