WOW it's really bizarre to witness the "outsider guest" snatch the "food" away from the host continent teams
Anytime RUS being invited to the Africa OQT they will be the clear Queen of Beauty there
Russia qualified to Sydney 2000 via World Cup. It happened in the qualification to Atlanta 1996. Russian wasnt invited to the Africa OQT, because this tournment wasnt even played. Since no african team was interested to play it ($$$), Russia received a wild card because it was the best ranked team not qualified yet.
So, this could happen again this time Colombia did it in 2004.
