[Goanet] Football World Cup 2010

[Antonio Menezes]

At the end of the initial stage of football matches, it is interesting to
note that out of 32 teams competing
for the World Cup, only one African country ( Ghana ) out of 6 African teams
made it for the group of 16.
Only 6 European teams out of 13 were successful and as far as teams from the
American continent
are concerned  7 out of 8 won the right to play at group 16 the only
exception being Honduras. The
other successful Asian teams are Japan and South Korea.
