1. Best four of the 2nd sides in each group will into playoffs but the points v. the last-placed sides deducted. thats why uganda or Madagascar out 2. there would be only one side out of nigeria, Cameroon, congo, gabon into the Inter-confederation Play-offs, which means they still need to compete with another side from other continents for WC
