nick... Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Anyone seen an African team win the world cup? I'm in 2062, and have seen an Asian winner (Iraq), and a North American winner (Canada), but never an African one. The highest performers have been Nigeria (runners up 2038), Cameroon (3rd place 2050) and Morocco (3rd place 2062). How've they done on your game?

Chas (Psyatika) Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 You're talking about the same game that has England winning the Euro Cup 2008 in almost everyone's game? Yeah, okay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafe_latte Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Ivory Coast won the 2010 WC in my file. But England did win Euro 2008! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giziar Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Was fairly quick in my game. Nigeria won the 2010 version by beating England in the final. And you can't say they had an easy route to the final as they beat Italy in the QF and Brazil in the SF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsum Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 In one of my saves Cameroon won the 2010 world cup. But as it is set in S.Africa I suppose the African nations would have some advantage in terms of conditions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill Rock Stars Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 the standard of african regens you get in the game tends to be pretty poor in my experience, so it seems unlikely that they'll be winning international tournaments 20 years into a game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol2day Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Well technically africa did in fact win the world cup in 1998, shame that all of the african players chose to play for france eg, desailly - born in ghana Thuruam - senegal Zidane - algerian viera - Ghana Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Git Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Three or is it four seasons into our online game, Iran got to the semi-final of the world cup, beating Brazil on the way.
