If Cameroon is already eliminated, the four other African teams have a role to play in their final group matches of the World Cup. Ghana, with a draw (2-2) against Germany, the victories of Algeria and Nigeria have allowed representatives of the continent to get back into the competition.

Côte d’Ivoire is also in the race for qualification to the second round. These performances have been welcomed by the Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi. “Everyone is happy in West Africa” said the Nigerian technician satisfied. “Ghana has got a result and we won. It’s good for the continent.”

Côte d’Ivoire play their qualifier against Greece on Tuesday, and a draw is enough for elephants to pass the first round.
