It’s TOGO, again. At least this is not in the final qualifying games. We should not underrate Eritrea at all. See how they came close to qualifying for Ghana 2008. They will surely beat Swaziland home and away. Not also that their junoir team kicked our Under 17 out of the 2007 Africa Cup youth championship. GUD LUK ZED.

Zambia’s group is easy!
We should be able to go through with match easy. Togo will be playing all their home matches away from home, an advantage to us.
Billy good point, Togo indeed will play all their home matches away from home.We should be able to go through this group with easy.Zambia is ranked higher than Togo and Angola in the World and in Africa but it’s like Togo and Angola were put in Pot A cos the went to the last W.Cup.Fifa initially indicated that they would follow the Continental Rankings for the seedings for the draw.But otherwise this is a very good draw for us.
If we don’t go to the world cup this time, we will never have another chance. This is a relatively easy group, more so that Adebayor’s Togo will play all their home maches away.
