Ivory Coast, Senegal, Cape Verde, all eliminated in very tragic circumstances. That reminds me of Ghana Vs. Uruguay in 1/4 finals, a decade ago, with the late penalty awarded to Ghana, missed by Asamoah Gyan, and their subsequent elimination. Or remember Cameroon in 1990? We were leading 2-1 against England in 1/4 finals, with 8 minutes to go, but eventually lost 3:2.
It seems African nations are cursed, seriously!

Same playbook.
Brutal.
