It’s not like South America where Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay pretty much dominate year on year, or Europe with Spain, Italy, Germany & France.
It’s more like women’s tennis, where the top 6 one year will be completely different the next time you look.
The great World Cup performances of past sides such as Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana & Ivory Coast are always pretty much one offs.
Look at Burkino Faso as the equivalent of Sofia Kenin, Iva Majoli or Emma Raducanu. [Post edited 5 Feb 2022 21:45]

To be perfectly honest, and purely down to my own ignorance, I had little idea that they were even a country until relatively recently, and yet they have been so called since 1984 apparently. I put the 'Burk' in Burkina Faso then. |  |

Yep AFCON can be pretty mad. Egypt won 3 in a row between 2006 and 2010, then didn’t qualify for the next two tournaments. Burkina Faso are probably a team you’d expect to get to the last 16 but no further - probably the equivalent of someone like Poland or Switzerland getting to the semis of the Euros. A bit of a shock but nobody would call you bonkers for predicting them as a dark horse. |  |
