Quote: woolie "Given how important Africa's only RL representative country (i am assuming Morocco have hung up their boots) should be to the world game the lack of information is bizarre, but not surprising, its International RL after all! For me the world cup should be just that, at least one country from each continent. Why an African country is playing qualifiers against American countries which exclude Canada from the qualification process a country that can beat them all takes some explaining to South Africans based in Ireland!'"
They are playing against North American teams because, as you say, there aren't any other African nations for them to play against. At least there is a guaranteed place for one of these teams, last time the winners of the Atlantic qualifying only got a place in the repechage competition. As for Morocco, they now seem to be actually making moves to establish the game there rather then just being a team of French heritage players as in the past. It's a pretty low level though obviously, I doubt they will be able to challenge in the near future.
