ANGOLA : PLAYERS TO WATCH

Team captain and forward Fabrice Akwa, who had scored more goals (31) and played in in more internationals (68) than any Angolan through the beginning of 2006, scored several key qualifying goals, including the game-winner vs. Nigeria and the lone goal -- a header -- in the 1-0 win over Rwanda that clinched a spot in Germany. Benfica striker Pedro Mantorras is just coming back from a knee injury. But he can be an impact player if healthy. Midfielder Figueiredo (many Angolan players go by just one name), the team's best free-kick artist, has but 16 international appearances as a 31-year-old, but could emerge as a key performer with his leadership ability and work rate.
