Africa adopted Asia's three-stage qualifying format. The new format was criticised for logistics given the conditions in Africa, but it proved a hit- revealing a depth of quality in African football bettered only by Europe and South America, and the shock eliminations of Senegal, Angola and DR Congo among other things. It also doubles as the 2010 Nations Cup qualifiers- hence South Africa took part in the first stage and failed miserably, pointing to a potential disaster in a World Cup they host.
It's still all very unpredictable- who knows what's going to happen in this one!
