A more than glowing record for the African representatives in the 2022 World Cup where, for the first time, a national team reached the last four. Morocco achieved an excellent performance by going to the semi-finals where it was narrowly taken out by France who suffered terribly tactically and technically.
Morocco, last in group B with 1 point, in 2018, finished first in group F with 7 points in 2022. Senegal 3rd in group H with 4 points in 2018, ranked 2nd in group A with 6 points in 2022. Tunisia, 3rd in group G with 3 points in 2018, also finished third in D in 2022 but with 4 points. The Carthage Eagles missed just one goal to take the place of Australia who took second place in the group with the same number of points as Tunisia.
In the 7 victories gleaned by Africa in 2022, we note that of Tunisia ahead of France (1-0) defending champion, Morocco ahead of Belgium (2-0), Cameroon against Brazil (1 -0), Ghana ahead of South Korea (3-2), and Senegal ahead of Ecuador (2-1). Proof that African football is evolving and should no longer be complexed against other nations of the European or South American continent.
“I want the world to see that Africa is equal to everyone, Africans are not behind in talent. They have talent to win any tournament except most of their best players are scattered around the world playing for other countries instead of their homelands” – dropped by former coach of Samuel Eto’o and Didier Drogba to the media 360 Sports, last June.
“I know I won’t be popular for making this statement, but FIFA should make it fair by refusing to let players represent other countries, it will make FIFA tournaments even more competitive, not a one-way street…“, José Mourinho continued calmly, as usual.
Today, the results of the African selections in Qatar proved him perfectly right.
