Senegal grab late winner!!!! From a quick corner and use their height advantage! What a game!! Brilliant game in the second half!
Great game of football but my worries about Senegal have been proven true again. With better teams at the World Cup Senegal will be punished for the things South Africa let them get away with. Another team would have scored 3 or 4 goals here. Much work is needed with Senegal before the World Cup!
Baxter’s record is the worst in the history of South African football. From Shakes Mashaba who was unbeaten the whole of 2016 and 17 games undefeated (which includes 1-0 wins over Senegal and Egypt).... to Baxter to who has lost 4 out of his 5 World Cup qualifying games and won 1 friendly, drawn one and lost the rest. It’s a joke. He needs to be fired. He is a club coach not a national team coach.
Four wins and two draws in a pretty tough group featuring the best team of the last African Nations Cup... I wouldn't say they did too bad.
I will say, not an easy group to navigate for sure. Even SA were no push-overs but they really need to develop some quality finishers. I'd dare say that CV, BF and perhaps even SA will be in line for some of the extra spots by the time that the WC expands.
Just for fun, Better or the same from 2014 Brasilien - better Uruguay - better Tyskland - same same, maybe even more depth Portugal - better Spanien - better Frankrike - better Belgien - better Kroatien - better England - better Schweiz - they say better Russia = Better Nigeria - better Japan - better Sydkorea - same Australien - better Iran - better Mexiko - better Costa Rica - 2014 better Colombia - 2014 better (but they get Falcao now) What player have they lost from 2014? Argentina - i dont know but they didnt impressed in the qualify so i say 2014 better Africa 2014 Ghana, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Algeria 2018 Senegal, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia Maybe on paper 2014 teams sounds better but i say 2018 Only Algeria from 2014 was good, maybe Ghana too, but they only got 1 point but in a tough group but i say 2018. Europe 2014 Italy, The Netherlands, Greece, Bosnia 2018 Poland, Denmark, Iceland, Serbia, Sweden Well maybe here too, 2014 looks better on paper with Italy and the netherlands, but Italy out in the group stage again. = Poland replace them I dont know but that Netherand team never impressed me even if they reached the semi final. = maybe Denmark Greece and Bosnia = Sweden and Serbia here Maybe same same here with these teams but the others europe team that qualifed 2014 is better now. So 2018 win and the last ones, but just 1-2 teams 2014 Chile, Ecuador, USA, Honduras 2018 Saudiarabia, Panama, Peru, and one more team from europe, Iceland 2014 win here but Chile 2014 - Peru = i dont know, i say same same, maybe Chile Iceland - Ecuador 2014 = maybe i should not take those 2 teams against each other, but i say iceland here Honduras 2014 - Panama = i say same same, i have asked who would win and some say Panamaand others say same same US - Saudi = again maybe wrong teams against each other but i say US here. But overall 2018 better JUST SPECUALTION, JUST FOR FUN
Any WC updates on the African sides? Roster turnovers? Injuries? New staff? Viable dual nationals? Anything?
Khedira turned down to play for Tunisia. And Fousseny Coulibaly is not gonna play for Tunisia either.
Speaking of binationauxs. Issa Diop of Toulouse has been approached by both Senegal(father) and Morocco(mother). The promising French Youth International said he won't make a decision before the Summer. Interesting to note that his grandfather was the first Senegalese player in Ligue 1.
Oki i dont know who that is. Why after the summer? No chance he can be in one of the two squad to world cup?
Yup. I loved the mystique behind it. Big ASEC fan so its only appropriate that I follow Les Elephanes.

That's my main surprise. Maybe he's injured or something? The mammoth striker Simmy gets a surprise call up due to his recent Serie A form as does Lokosa. A shame Samuel Kalu or Henry Onyekuru missed out though...

I have a relatively good feeling about this World Cup, but it's all up in the air. But no team is out of it. Even Tunisia, albeit their chances still seem the slimmest.
Salah was the reason I didn't want Liverpool to make it far into the Champions League as I wanted him to be healthy for the World Cup. It would be really unfortunate if Egypt have to play in the World Cup without him.
