Senegalese players faced the usual trauma that is common in African football. Unpaid salaries, uncertainty with the coach, poor hospitality arrangements and unnecessary drama ahead of a competition like the World Cup.
They are African Champions but they look so unprepared here.
@1BrosLykDat@imohumoren There are leagues and even US commercial partners very interested in the opportunities but ease of doing business and even engaging government entities has continued to be a challenge. Speaking as someone who has tried to engage, itโs a pain.
Senegal were expected to be one of Africa's best performing teams this World Cup.
With one group game left to play, they can no longer finish in the top two.
They now must beat Iraq and hope they rank among the eight best third-placed teams to reach the last-32 ๐ฎ
Listen... are some Senegal players on the take? The way they're playing is very.... suspicious...
Or maybe they're distracted by the fact that they haven't been paid by their FA
The @FIFAWorldCup will never fail to tell #Africa the truth, the unvarnished truth, about the state of its football and its national teams. Make no mistake about thatโฆ
Been seeing comments about Norway having so many fans, while Senegal barely has any.
Thatโs because Senegalese supporters were not given visas to come to the U.S.
Even before a ball is kicked, Western/European teams already have an unfair advantage.
Wait....it was a Chinese businessman living in Cape Verde that helped Vozinha's mother to get to the US by paying for her application, and the US gov't had the caucasity to take credit for, when they're who blocked her in the first place because of the US$15,000 extortion fee.
Was an intentional decision by the Ecuadorian FA to target areas with predominantly black people. Scouts and academies were set up in these places for a reason. That decision launched the generation youโre seeing now
