African nations in the World Cup are terrible.


No African side has ever made it to semi-final. Only 3 have made it to a quarter final and of those 3, none of them made it more than once. There's no excuse for this mediocrity.

France will say goodbye to them. 1 African team in the semi-finals in history is pathetic.

I wonder if playing the African Nations Cup every two years has any effect? I’ve never understood why it’s every two years instead of four.

It's possible. Maybe they get burned out playing too many games like clubs who are in the running for 4 trophies and go far. However, not going far in tournaments doesn't guarantee success. Tottenham is out of every competition by the end of January and they still struggle to finish top 4.
