I hope so. That'd be cool.

Not thuggery per se, but they're very physical. Most European and South American teams are big on skill and fancy plays while I've found African teams very physical. In the past only the Germans really introduced a physical style of play and its got them a long way. England is beginning to come along, maybe Shawcross will make the national team....
I love watching African teams play, they believe in hard tackles and unyielding defence. They are very tough and punishing.
