You guys are making a mistake celebrating Senegal
I love Senegal. They produce fun players and have some of the best fans in Africa. However, their win yesterday was far from impressive. Credit is due to them for defeating a team that was weak on the night (something that Egypt and Morocco haven't done at this WC) but that wasn't the kind of performance to write home about. They barely created anything up front and got both goals from catastrophic defending. I hope they pull off 1 more win to advance but they will need to up their game to do so. Hopefully they beat Japan because they are unlikely to defeat Colombia if they put in another shift like they did yesterday.

Re: You guys are making a mistake celebrating Senegal
They won something the World Champions are yet to do,Egypt are out,Tunisia and Morocco and Nigeria are likely to follow so Senegal are the only African team that came to do more than make up the numbers!Heliopolis wrote:I love Senegal.

Re: You guys are making a mistake celebrating Senegal
Well might not have been impressive but they got 3 points in the bag, another 3 points should see them through to the next round, its also about peaking at the right time, so need playing your best football now
So angry Nigeria got kicked out of the world cup once again, i nearly told my wife that i caught my girlfriend with another man today!

Re: You guys are making a mistake celebrating Senegal
The win was great but it was not the win per se people are happy about. It was the attitude especially in contrast to Nigeria. Senegal played to win and won. Nigeria played not to lose but still lost.

Someone who gets it!
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: You guys are making a mistake celebrating Senegal
North Africa should now play in the Asian confederation. after all that's where their fellow Arabs play. they are politically and [for the most part] genetically Middle Eastern. rightly so they proudly claim it. so why when it comes to football sub-Saharan Africa has to put up with their disgrace? between Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria and Morocco I've witnessed only two WC wins since 1998. Morocco (France 98) and Algeria (Brazil 2014) all of this is attributed to Africa but politically they are supposed to be more Middle eastern. what does this mean to you as a real African
Re: You guys are making a mistake celebrating Senegal
Senegal look like t hey can go far,win next game and in knock out with possible facing England or Belgium that can be beat.Those two not actually better than Poland.

Re: You guys are making a mistake celebrating Senegal
In football, getting a result is all that matters, but even if they were not "impressive," their hunger and collective "can do" attitude deserved applause.Heliopolis wrote:I love Senegal.
