On the issue of size, what is Benin's population again?

That was a long time ago. The Morocco of Nov 2007 is a totally different prospect. Also, the post-Saudi Arabia Ghana is not as good as it was earlier on in the year.

I would rather be the one that has actually won a number of tourney's as opposed to one that has little to nothing to show for it at senior level. How many trophies have the S.E won in their entire history?
Oh you find out Benin's population when they meet you on the field like I am sure you know Angola's population
