Former France international, Emmanuel Petit has claimed that Senegal against all odds used witchcraft to secure a 1-0 victory over France at the 2002 FIFA World Cup that held in South Korea and Japan.

Senegal would go on to shock France 1-0 thanks to a fiasco in the 18-yard box that gifted Papa Bouba Diop a 30th minute easy tap-in; a victory nearly all of Senegal’s over 10 million citizens at the time didn’t see coming.

Emmanuel Petit who was part of the French squad that crashed out at the group stage after managing to get only a point from a bore draw against Uruguay believes Senegal used witchcraft on his side.

He attributed this to the fact that despite his side seeing numerous chances and being in possession of the ball for a larger part of the match, they could not get a win or even grind out a draw which was a fulfillment of the prophecy of a Senegalese who spoke with him a year before the World Cup.

Petit recounting the events that took place said: “A year before the Senegal-France match in 2002, a Senegalese told me” “The marabouts have contributed. I’ll tell you an anecdote: a year before the world cup in Korea, I’m on a beach in France. I see a street vendor who comes to see me and whom I knew.

“He looks at me seriously and says to me: ‘you know the world cup which is played in a year, France will play Senegal and will lose by a goal to zero because our marabouts are very powerful in Senegal. You’ll see’. It came to my mind and I thought maybe France has been marabouts, “he said in an interview with Record.

“We were very unlucky in this match. We hit the posts and the crossbar several times. Only that goal was missing, ”he added.

Senegal got to the quarter final of the World Cup before losing in extra time to Turkey via a golden goal.

Nothing strange considering Taribo west confirmed the use of all this back then...


Whichever way,the juju strong no be small

If you watch the match with the way France ball they hit crossbar you go fear

I cannot forget that Friday, 2002 just like yesterday.

I think truly Senegal are bless with marabout that knows are to jazz futbol but God pass them. They did the same in Ghana/ Nigeria 2000 but as God will want it, their goal keeper forgot the seal/juju for goal post and one of Nigeria official went there and pour water to it. Only God knows what he recite inside the water.
That night was another good night in football when they brought in Julius Agbahowa and landed a goal.

Senegal and Football + no be today

If you could recognize juju, what stopped you from using yours.

They lack the infrastructure for operating a jujuized society.

E still dey pain am. Denmark that defeated France at that World Cup what did they use? Juju ? Senegal would have won the World Cup with juju since they beat the defending champions in the opening game with juju. Accept you underrated them at your peril.

It was a fluke victory and Nothing else. Juju wasn't involved. The beautiful game is immune to voodoo on the world stage. Why hasn't India won the world cup, if juju was truly effective?

Nigerians, dont u knw hw to do d Juju, so that we would get the WORLD CUP

What's juju

This is the very reason, as a parent, you should be careful about the sort of name you give to your children.

This man's surname is "Petit" and from my little knowledge of French, "petit/petite" means "small" in English.

And from his rants or submission about this issue, you can see that he probably has a small "cerveau"[brain].

What a way to make excuses. Dumb excuses.

I wonder who gave his father that name...

wait let me verify the brain of petit
