Question: Which African country has scored the most goals at the World Cup finals?

Answer: 

Both Cameroon and Nigeria have scored 17 goals at the World Cup finals, which is the highest of any African team. Nigeria may say their record is slightly better though, having achieved that mark in just 14 matches compared to Cameroon's 20. Next on the list is Morocco (12), South Africa (11), Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire (both 9).
