You were saying?

It was a great score line for Senegal

Usmanovic95:
I just can't imagine what countries like Iraq, Curacao, panama and Uzbekistan dey find for world cup . Can FIFA just return the tournament back to the old 32 teams format.

Even as dey turn it to 48 Nigeria did not make it, you now want them to reduce it to 32?

chinchum:
Senegal does have a chance, but it is not uhuru yet, it seems some of the analysis fail to consider current 1st, 2nd or 3rd or 4th place teams yet to play their last match can still be 3rd.

Accounting for only currently 3rd place teams at this time means the analysis is not accounting for that possibility. At this time, the best spot on 3rd place best loosers they can have is 5th place, which will surely get worse when other 3rd games are played.

I am hopeful it doesn't get worse than a 8th place 3rd best for them. Germany losing to Ecuador yesterday was what severely reduced their chances in my opinion. I would have said they will almost surely(95% chance) make at least the 8th spot of the 3rd best loosers, but at this point, they have a 45% chance by my estimate.

Senegal will definitely qualify..Cape Verde just qualified on 3 points and there is no third spot qualification from that group. Uruguay is eliminated

Cape verde is in the knockout stage as debutants without losing any game. Panama is a solid team, even played better than Ghana in the first game, but unlucky to get a result in that game. Names will not be enough going forward to guarantee performance at the world cup..

Yes, they have an improved chance now with that result, as Senegal is now better with points and goal difference than the 3rd place of 3 completed groups. It is not guaranteed yet as they have to be better than four 3rd place teams, but it is closer, they need one more result in their favor.

Senegal is less than 90 minutes from qualifying for the next round. Once Egypt can avoid a defeat to Iran, then Senegal qualifies.

In other news, Cape Verde has qualified in second place without winning a single match. That is some wonder of the world.

Maybe 🤔 you should complete it ,without losing a match . Kudos to the team playing Spain and Uruguay without losing , it is a great success

I hid the not losing part for a reason

You will be free the day you decide to respect people and what they believe in.

Trust me, it'll give you peace.

There’s no law that you have to respect people and what they believe in… anyone can believe nonsense and I don’t have to respect it
Sorry I can never respect black Africans who worship the religion of slavery and colonizers

Have you respected Boko haram for what they believe in? And don’t tell me they don’t have a belief because they sure do and a very strong one for that matter

MyAmericandream:
Why didn’t they use this same energy on their previous game. Stuuupid boys.

10 vs 11 energy cant be compared to that of 11 vs 11

In less than 10 minutes Senegal will qualify for the next round... Pls Egypt do it for Senegal by hanging on to your draw against Iran or by winning. Pls 🙏 I beg Una.

Omoawoke:
Senegal!

I almost gave up on that country when I heard their coach saying some Islamic dedication stuffs and how Islam is more important than anything in the world

Another black African country gone and dusted with phooolishness

See how you twisted his word.

He said prayer is more important than anything in the world when he was been warned not to go out cos of the severe weather condition

Egypt just let Senegal down at Injury time. Now the future is bleak for Senegal in this world cup

Egypt, WHYYYYYY!!!

No! VAR cancelled it.

Yes o!!! I was so so happy when I saw it. Now they've made it to the round of 32. Hurrayyy!!!

Passionnn:
with This scoreline they can still still make it as Best loser

Best third place team … the “losers” are those who did not qualify for the World Cup … ahem!

Save your breadth. Senegal has qualified.

Which let down? Senegal has qualified.

GanagiBitrus:

Sure, 2 new results after my comment gave them the edge. Cape verde vs KSA draw & Egypt vs Iran draw. An Egypt loss would have kept Senegal waiting on the sideline for qualification. I was worried for Senegal when Iran scored an assumed "winner" at the injury time, but thanks to VAR.

greypencils:
You are forgeting there are 5 other teams yet to play their 3rd game, Cape Verde, Croatia, Belgium, DR Congo & Algeria.

even with those that have played, their 3 goals advantage take them above 4 teams (Iran, S/korea, Scotland & Uruguay) already. And it's only 4teams of 3rd position that we be eliminated.
Even if there will be any surprises from remaining games, it will affect those 4teams not Senegal

You were still sleeping when I later replied my comment that VAR has intervened.
I was watching and posting live.

Abeg, I won't modify because it was a live match back then. We were watching it live while you were sleeping Zzzzzzz. I have even gone ahead to make threads about Senegal's qualification. When I made It, it was nowhere else on the internet at that time. I checked the internet and it was not there. I was the first to post SENEGAL qualifies

Italy just missed two straight world cup. Or did you see them in 2022 world cup

At the last second or should I say last minute of the game, Iran scored Egypt and it became 2-1. That was when I made that comment. Then VAR removed the goal.

Usmanovic95:
Maybe one day we will have the whole 196 nations competing for the world cup.

Exactly... Instead of admitting teams that can not qualify by merit, like Italy and Poland

This is unfair.
Country that is fighting war, and these 2 countries are brothers because they practice same religion.

...had it been they played this match first, it would have been a moral boaster for them and they will qualify convincingly.

they were just unlucky to play France in the first group game. Well, lets hope that miracle will happen in the best losers table sha

Your analysis came after the Uruguay and Iran games. Nice one though.

geoworldedu:
Senegal emphatic 5-0 win has put them on track to go all the way to the knockout stages.

Before 6 a.m tomorrow morning, they will be jubilating loudly and Africa will be very happy.

All they need is for Spain to avoid a defeat to Uruguay and for Egypt to avoid a defeat to Iran. With that done, Senegal is in the ROUND OF 32.

YOU heard it from here first.

Yes I did. Nice one!
