Wow. Well done Senegal

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

...I saw the score, and was like wow, who was playing for the Englanders then I come see Kane name and other top top players.
Well giant of Africa go say, no shame in losing to the Congos, the Lesothos, Rwandas
Unlike the US getting shellacked by Switzerland, they were using fringe experimental players.

Re: ENG 1 - SEN 3 (2H)
Congrats Senegal.
I stopped watching after Harry Kane scored.
Over the years, England fans have been quick to remind me of how no African team has ever beaten them.
I had never even noticed.
So today, I will dance ajasko.
However, can we call a spade a spade?
England played their second string side until it was 1-2.
Sure they started Saka, Rice and a geriatric Kane. The rest of the starters were squad players.

Re: ENG 1 - SEN 3 (2H)
Ssebo, oli otya? It was a good game, from the Senegalese perspective at least. England were all over the place, some dipping their toes in the cool sea water, some building castles in the sand, others queuing up for 99s with hundreds and thousands and a double flake. The rest, stretched out on the loungers, basking under the sun, heavily under the influence of two for one Caipirinhas. From a Tuchelian point of view, it was an absolute mess. Much like his predecessors, Thomas finds himself in the candy shop with too much to choose from and shallow pockets. An issue that perpetually escapes discussion is Harrison Ogbunigwe Kane, who, much like Yoweri Ronaldo, pops up with the get out of jail free card goal, that submits the bigger picture.

It was a good game for a neutral and Terranga Lions fans. Beating England on English soil is special. However, let’s not forget that England started with 10 out of 11 players who played a recent key World Cup qualifier, on the bench. This key fact is bound to be raised by arrogant England fans.
So I pray & hope that next time a more modest team like the Naija Eagles beat England in a more meaningful game.

That excuse doesn't fly when you have Kane, Saka, Gordon, Rice, Bellingham, Skelley, Rogers, Gibbs White, and Eze on the field

Re: ENG 1 - SEN 3 (2H)
The other topic that this raises is how well ahead the rest of Africa is at developing and/or selecting the right coaches. From one top local coach straight to another. So proud of the Senegal FA.

Re: ENG 1 - SEN 3 (2H)
And that is the difference between Nigeria and Senegal.
They have had 2 very great successful local coaches.
Do you think Senegalese have a negative connotation with local coaches like Nigeria does ?
Our local coaches are corrupt, tribalistic , and egotistic.
That's why they are succesful and we are not.
Re: ENG 1 - SEN 3 (2H)
First defeat against an african opposition. England not as good as they thought.
Re: ENG 1 - SEN 3 (2H)
How did I miss this, this is impressive from Senegal
I always knew it would be a team like Senegal or Mali or Zambia that will do it
Not only did Senegal do it, it was convincing and in England too
Those of us who have tried and failed salute you , Senegal
