Because at this point, CAF should just let Nigeria and Cameroon battle it out whoever lifts the AFCON trophy gets their World Cup ticket. That one rule alone will make AFCON sweeter than jollof and pepper soup combined.
It will also force the teams that are already out of World Cup talks to play with sense, pride, and small seriousness.
But wait… even if CAF gives Nigeria and Cameroon this second chance, let’s be honest these two countries will still manage to miss the World Cup.
This 2026 World Cup has already been programmed for them to watch it on TV, eating popcorn and shouting “referee why!” from their living rooms.
Meanwhile, Ghana players are training like their passport depends on it.
TV is where Cameroon and Nigeria will enjoy the World Cup festival comfortably seated and well relaxed.
