Africa will disappoint this year. Expect all 4 teams to go home after the first round. Angola with no points, Togo with none, Ivory Coast with maybe 1 and Ghana with 1.

Togo has been in disarray for a while. The players wanted bonues for goals and wins in the World Cup and that led to a dispute with the government. The coach that took them thru qualifying got fired after a dispute with a player. Way too many distractions for a team that is not that good anyways. One Africa team always seems to surprise and make the 2nd round. I think Team Drogba and Tunisia could do some damage

"The players, most of whom are with smaller European clubs, have been holding out for $200,000 each to play in the tournament, plus $39,000 each per win and $20,000 per draw."

Wow, that is insane. The players want the government to spend about 2% of TOTAL government revenues on them. Last year, Togo's government got $250 million in revenues and the players want a good chunk of that to go to them? Just stupid.
