African coaches need to go refresher courses on management of games in 75minutes to 90 . Senegal should have win since now Belgium want to win before penalty . Even penalty not sure for Senegal . They messed up big time

Philosopher1979:
African teams need natural midfield controllers like zudane, okocha,modric etc. it dies not matter if they don't have to play in Europe.
Fir the last 15 to 20 minutes, they play possession football. Holding on to the ball s the best form of defence.
Press resistance midfielders who can cool the game down and pause the game.
That will enrich African teams

ohh yeaaa….omo suddenly the Belgians just switched into an ultra-fast playing style,short short pass interchanges and high rush of blood in the senegalese box 18…This is what Africa need to study and try to manage

It would take a deeper mental shift from the Senegalese to counteract the momentum that is now with the Belgians after those crazy 4mins of conceeding.

Having played the game at some level, I have been on teams that make this kind of comeback and go on to win the game. I personally never lost with a team that made such comebacks.

Senegal have to take momentum back by force. Pro football is littered with examples of comebacks that did not end in wins but it took a lot of mental and psychological composure from the other team.

I haven't seen the replays of the goals but abeg what happened? Did the Belgians use their hands? WTF is two goals in barely 3 mins!!

The Senegalese were careless; they thought it was over and were already feeling overconfident. The second goal by Belgium was funny; the Senegalese keeper finished his team.

It is worring to see African teams lead in the games then lose as the games are about to end
What's lacking ? Better hold on celebrating Senegal until the final whistle

What's lacking for me is the resolve of Cape Verde. If the african reps can use it, it will go their way. Anyways, senegal defend wack pass Congo own. Not surprised. ET, yet to transition up the pitch is hard against this Belgian team. Smh

This game pain me . How do you allow 2 goals in 3 minutes . Can't you hold ball and pass around

See empty net o Senegal missed

I can’t recall the last time the Super Eagles lost a 2-goal lead at a major tournament sha

Omo Africa has a long way to go. We never go anywhere.

Someone must control that midfield or else Senegal wave goodbye

TheSuperNerd:
Fermin is a miss but Spain will beat Austria.

Fuente has eased Nico back in with no rush. Yamal as well. They are primed to be close to their best in the K.Os.

Nico got a knock in there last game Vs Uruguay causing him a setback I think

Senegal has been really poor since the afcon
I'm surprised people have didn't noticed that

This same world cup they've been poor Aswell

VAR checking possible penalty for Belgium

Ref give this penalty let these folks go home jor

FIFA IS FRAUDULENT. THAT WAS NO PENALTY.

The end time penalty demon comes to Seattle

Harsh decision against Senegal. That was a soft call for a penalty.

Hatewatch or no hatewatch, this is fking painful.

Why can't this bs happen to South Africa or Morocco? Why always Senegal?

Silly to loose two goal lead, see how all the hard work ends…

There was a slight push in Belgium's equalizer too

Senegal😭😭

Senegal going……..

3-2 thank you Belgium

Senegal should blame themselves for their exit

God forbid I root for Ghana as per fellow West Africans. Make all of them de come back including Cape Verde

I just de burn data to be tormented

Messed up . 2 goals leading thrown away haba . Ref was fast to check VAR but in ivory coast against Norway he never check. African teams and coaches need game management. This is painful 😣. Three European teams defeated ivory coast , congo now Senegal

I feels like it's Nigeria... Omo 😪

Very silly original otondos

From the 80th minute all they needed to do was to keep possession and slow the game down but they underrated the Belgians think they were a conquered team

Bye bye all the black African teams. Ghana next to exit . Africa needs mental and psychological support.

The ref refused to check VAR . There was a push . Seems FIFA wants the big team to progress . If you want to win these teams you must win clearly . Senegalese team should blame themselves
