Senegal must be favorites though it won't be easy.

Makanaky, it sounds like you are terrified of Senegal and want them out ASAP.

Mali even rested a few key players from what I heard. Mali must be really dangerous.

Guys, Senegal hasn't looked near their WC'02 form and that may cost them against a Tunisia that will be playing in front of their home fans... 60k strong... plus refs will not help Senegal, so it will be very, very rough... the key for Senegal is to score early and often to take the crowd out of the game... that's always the #1 key when you're playing on the road. My guess is that Senegal has been on cruise control, but if i'm Yujam, my fear would be that they might not be able to easily turn on the switch as they think.... Since they beat France in the WC, they've been playing 'big boy' soccer, eagles style... reduced hustle... begging ref for calls... relying too much in reputation... etc... hmmmm, they may need to expel 1 or 2 players before the quarters to wake up the team.

Senegal didn't beat Tunisia for the last 15 years, we always did it with 4-0, 4-1 and few months ago in the final of the Tunis Tournament (with all players) we took the advantage as we used. So who want to bet ?

Senegal is strong and talented. Tunisia are very sly and home advantage will count for much . I cannot call this game but Senegal is definitely a better side ..

I am only trying to prepare you for a distinct possibility; ie that Tunisia will be defeated by a defiant Senegalese team on Saturday. I just hope that your fans will keep cool when this happens.

I'll give the edge to Tunisia but if Senegal find their feet, then watch out..

Don't Worry Yujam, i do accept when we loose when an other team i sbetter for a game

All what i am saying is that i'm not worried about the game result and keep thinking that Senegal are overhyped and even if it is not we have everything to do it. I'm happy we're facing Senegal, cuz everybody considered them as the potential winner

Senegal is a crap team

Diouf will get a red for diving or begging for calls...
Diao will Kunfu himself to a red card...

If my boys Bouba Diop and Camara do well Senegal will win...

I didn't watch today's gmes so i can't say if senegal performed better than the first two matchs or not. If not, they'll be back home on sunday

Get this, Tunisia are not fun to watch but they have been efficient, they made it to the finals some years ago in South Africa and made the semis in Nigeria 2000, now these guys are at home I fancy them in the finals, who knows they may even win it all

I will go against general perception and say that Senegal rises up for this one big time! Tunisia will believe the hype that Senegal is overhyped and they shall consequently pay for this big time!

Majed · Post by **Majed** » Mon Feb 02, 2004 11:44 pm

We didn't yet play with the typical team so it's normal to find it not fun.
What do u think about benachour goal ? wasn't tht enough fun

I actually agree with you for once....

Senegal will rise up for this one...but will outside factors control the outcome of this game?

Anyway, aren't they draw specialists?

If say na pool way we day play, Senegal for be sure banker!

The only outside factor will be dubious refereeing!

Do you think Tunisia can beat Senegal if they played with twelve men?

Majed · Post by **Majed** » Mon Feb 02, 2004 11:50 pm

Hello Algeria

why 12 ?

Home advantage is the twelvth man. Playing away from your home crowd is like dancing without music. At home the Tunisians will walce to the chants and be energized.
