I always knew the African countries would under perform, funny enough this seems to be the easiest world cup of all, strong footballing nations like England, Italy, Spain, France and Brazil are under performing who would have thought newbies Kiwi would disgrace the Italians or Americans and Algers would hold England to a spell draw and cause confusion in their camps.
PS.there has been little improvement since Zaire baffled everybody at the 1974 World Cup, losing 9-0 to Yugoslavia
