Angola nor Togo will make the World Cup finals in Russia

The qualifying rounds for the World Cup in Russia have just got underway but we already know that two teams with a recent track record in the World Cup won’t be taking part…as they’ve already been eliminated.

Togo

The team that has players such as Emmanuel Adebayor, Serge Gakpé or Mathieu Dossevi won’t be in Russia 2018. After managing to reach the finals in 2006, the Togoleses haven’t managed to find their best form, and were eliminated by Uganda in the first round, (losing 0-1 at home, and 3-0 away from home).

Angola

Similarly to the Togolese, Angola managed to make it to the Word Cup finals in Germany 2006. Angola went from strength to strength after their World Cup outing, and reached the quarter finals of the following two African Cup of Nations but have failed to reach that level since. Angola fell to the incredibly strong African team, South Africa (losing 1-3 at home, and 1-0 away from home).
