Other Africa representative, Ghana, may also bow out of the competition on Monday if they fail to beat USA convincingly in Group C final match. USA currently top group C with 4 points, New Zealand is second with 3 points, France is third with 2 points, while Ghana is last on the log with just 1 point.

From all indications this year competition is a bad market for the Africans.
