“Cameroon played a fantastic match against Serbia and they beat Brazil, Ghana also defeated South Korea,.
“Senegal had a great performance in the group stage, but the big surprise at this year’s World Cup are Morocco. They are a well-organised team and conceded fewer goals. Only three teams in Africa have reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup; Senegal, Ghana, Cameroon and Morocco make the fourth team.
“They showed qualities and they are the best African team in Qatar.”
