Germany will probably qualify with the next game. Nigeria has been by far the most impressive African team, I'm excited to see them play next year.

 

That damn Costa Rican team, who am I going to cheer for if Canada and the US both aren't there?

I'm not really sure what to think of the African teams so far. Haven't really seen much of them to be honest, but it really doesn't seem like any of them are as strong as the African teams were in 2010 & 2014. Gotta say I'd love it if Group E ended as it is though. Would be pretty awesome to see Uganda play at their first ever World Cup.

@bold Mexico? heh, I expect the US will still qualify though. Beat Honduras in their next game and they're in a very good position.

Senegal are said to be the best African team right now on paper, but with the way they are playing in the qualifiers they might not even make the World Cup. Uganda upset Egypt 1-0. I'd feel bad for Egyptians if they missed another World Cup, they haven't been to one since 1990. But Uganda would be a nice story if they make a World Cup debut.

Perhaps the biggest story would be Syria qualifying. I'd Korea and Uzbekistan draw, and Syria best Iran, they would be going to Russia.

After the US and Canada I always cheer for the Asian teams. I'm a little bit worried about the USA not making it.
