Senegal took that game personally and proved to them that Afcon is no small competition. I expect nore during the world Cup we have a lot to prove making it to around the semi-finals or quarter finals will add respect to the African Cup of Nation.
Ironically, Senegal got a draw few days ago against Ireland then knocked England by 3 goals to one. I am aware that these games are friendlies but it shows at the same time the instability of the English team.
Unfortunately Nigeria is still in a tough condition of not qualifying in another world Cup again which is totally disappointing. We ought to be doing well to make names for Africa but unfortunately I can't depend on my Nation for this, I think Morocco or Senegal will do much better.
Nigeria lost a lot of its power comparing to the old good days even though they have good players playing in Europe. Right now I don't see them progressing a lot if ever they could qualify to FIFA World Cup.
Morocco, Egypt, Senegal might have better accomplishments than Nigeria.
