Group D 
 
 Group D had been labelled as the 'group of death', even stronger than group A. With Nigeria, Tunisia, and Morocco it contained three World Cup starters from France 98. 
 Congo had been outsiders but with their committed performance embarrassed all three big names 
Nigeria rallied to display their class against the two other big names and Morocco eventually were the victims in an awfully close decision on goals scored. 
Nigeria marched on, only to lose the final on penalties, while Tunisia finished in fourth place. With two teams among the last four the group eventually proved it had deserved its label. 
Nigeria  3 6-2 7
Tunisia 3 3-4 4
Morocco  3 1-2 4
Congo  3 0-2 1
Nigeria became vice-champions, Tunisia fisnished in fourth place, both beaten on penalties
