CAF: It was not a great tournament for the Africans, but it was still probably better than it should have been. Of the five teams that entered the tournament, only Algeria and Nigeria advanced. Nigeria was beaten soundly by France, but Algeria gave the Germans a real scare and could easily have won. A respectable showing - especially considering the real issues that Cameroon and Ivory Coast had off the field coming into the tournament. Again, though, nothing to learn going forward here.
