Morocco and Algeria really should be further ahead of the pack with the number of French, Dutch, Belgian and Spanish NT rejects they have available. Idk, the N. Africans just get bodied when it comes time for AFCON.
Morocco and Algeria have the resources compared to the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa, I'd expect them to do better.
Yea ES Tunis and Etoile du Sahel hold it down for Tunisia but they still underperform, tbh, outside Egypt, the North African nations underperform badly.
Let's keep it a buck, if you really look at that scenario, that mistake looks to be one of time-keeping. Match corruption/fixing in that Mali-Tunisia game seems thin to me. This error seems like the ref just dropped the ball something serious.
