you know world cups when we were growing up they were always in there and not just in there but but doing well obviously cameroon reached the course finals in 19 nigeria they've had a couple of tournaments where they've had good runs and they've still got good players you know saying in nigeria but they're not they're not qualifying now so they may be resting on the ladders a little bit and thinking we'll be fine we'll walk through this but other countries are emerging like leon says they're being smart in terms of how they're recruiting you know as well but
