2014 was the first time more than 1 African team made the Round of 16. In 2010 only 1/6 made it past the first round.

Thanks for providing evidence for Ka-pi's reverse racism.

In fact, Asia and Africa are overrepresented considering their performances. For example, in the 32 team era they both have 1/8 teams in the World Cup. So mathematically there should be 1 Asian and 1 African team in the quarterfinals every World Cup. But since 1998, there's only been 1 Asian team in the quarterfinals and 2 African teams.
