- see the same
section in preview
- No team was without a mathematical
chance before the third group match
- the most points for a team
to be knocked was 4 (Morocco), no team went home undefeated from the group
stage
- the least points for a
team to advance was 4 (DR Congo), no team advanced without winning a match
(although it had seemed possible)
- two teams were qualified
after two matches: Cameroon still played with their top players, securing
a third win, Senegal played all their substitutes holding Tunisia to a
draw
- both finalists won their
opening match, no semi-finalist lost it but two quarter finalists did
- for two teams a draw was
enough before the third group match: Nigeria won, Morocco lost
- 33% of the group matches
ended scoreless (see k.o. stage for more)

In red those figures which
characterise a strength or a particular weakness in more than one match.
It has to be distinguished between meaningless and deciding goals, events
of a particular match or a tendency seen in more matches.
Obvious for example the
(suspected) loss of concentration with Burkina Faso or perhaps Liberia
and Egypt too in the final minutes of 2 matches.
