I have watched both Senegal games as well as the qualifiers and objectively, I do not think they are better than Nigeria or even Cameroon.
Am I the only one seeing this?
I still think CIV and Morocco are my true favorites.
Nigeria and possibly Cameroon may have a chance...but not too sure yet.
Besides Senegal
The real question is was Egypt over rated ? Rating is nothing but so called intelligence guessing based on statistic or sometimes no stats. We forget that this is still sports often driven by given daily physical and emotional underpinnings all of which are not even calculable factors or consistent measurable independent variables l. Look at what happened to mo salah the other day
I have always wanted to point out that this Egypt is not the Egypt of Aboutrika and co, they rely too much on Salah.
I pointed this out before we played Egypt. There is a reason they are not even top 5 in Africa. They have not won Jack even with Salah. These are facts that cannot be disputed.
But they qualified for the final playoffs, didn’t they? So they can't be that bad, they even scored more goals than us.

Senegal isn't overrated, everyone comes with their A game vs them

I never said they are bad. I am just saying they are not all that. And I made my point with some statements of fact to back it up.

I think Mali will finally lift the AFCON. If they don’t, they will make it to the WC. They are a very dangerous team.

My friend Olayemi:
I think Mali is an contender based on the games I have seen.
However, I have included Nigeria and Cameroon along with CIV and Morocco to my favs.
Egypt and Algeria have not truly impressed me.
But after all, it's football
You never know until they play.
Nigeria was very impressive today...I will rewatch the match to see again

Like others have said they would be a lot stronger with the 5 or 6 key players missing.
Not the same for us. I wouldn't call Ighalo or Dennis key players, since Ighalo would probably be on the bench and Dennis has so few caps. Osimhen and Balogun are the key absentees.

There is no super team in Africa

Senegal not to be feared. Actually most African teams are not separated by much!
