Egypt, Cameroon, Algeria and Tunisia are in Pot A but it looks like they will not make it to Africa Cup of Nations 2012. I think Mozambique will make it to round 2 (WC 2014 Qualifiers). That's the team I would like Malawi to avoid in Round 2 groupings.sscouserhttp://www.malawi.worldcupblog.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631997616728141521.post-12145176106889415652011-07-29T20:33:52.444+02:002011-07-29T20:33:52.444+02:00I agree with Lorric.

These playoffs at the end greatly increase the chances of inferior teams representing Africa at the World Cup, especially if they decide to have those playoffs without seedings.
