Karim Guede probably made the final cut due to his advantage of playing his football in Germany.

There seems no other logical reason why the Hamburg reserve player got the nod ahead of highly promising defender Emmanuel Mathias, who was expected to be one of the tournament's brightest stars.

Guede is only 21 and many consider him to be one for the future.
