Last day home, Senegal beats Namibia 3-1…
In our last game in Dakar before leaving for Tamalé, Senegal managed to beat a pretty weak-looking namibian team. Not to be disrespectful or anything but we just seemed to be circles around them on this game. Henryk Kasperczak didn’t even have his A-team, with some light injuries for the likes of Habib Bèye and Abdoulaye Diagne Faye . he decided to experiment with Ibrahima Sonko as a full-back and Lamine Diatta as a right-back. Everybody was watching as the clubless vice-captain was taken in place of Pascal Mendy who happened to be excellent in every single one of the qualifying games he’s played.
In a Stade Léopold Sédar Senghor that I have rarely seen this empty, the team went as this:
Tony Sylva, Lamine Diatta, Souleymane Diawara, Ibrahima Sonko, Guirane Ndaw, Bayal Sall, Pape Bouba Diop, Diomansy Kamara, Frédéric Mendy, El Hadji Diouf, Mamadou Niang
The first two goals were scored by Diomansy Kamara who had an incredibly prolific game. The third one was all Henri Camara and what a beautiful goal it was by the “Gunning rabbit”. At half time, half the team was changed, notably mamadou Naing and Elhadji Diouf getting replaced. After a few minutes of taking used-to that brough tthe magnificent Namibian goal, everybody went back to work and won this one pretty easily.
Here is a video that is made of highlights of the game, a few half time interviews, a little backstory on Ghana organized world cups and finally a little subject on the fourth biggest town in Ghana, Tamalé, where we will face Tunisia, Angola and South Africa.

If I was going to base my opinion on this video alone it seems that you guys set your footy highlights to dope hip hop beats and we set most of ours to thumping house music or arabic dance tunes. Needless to say, I’m very jealous.

WE used this game as an experiment our selves! now why do you think this is our best display?
we also had players injured that coulnd take part!
“Weak looking” is definitely an underestimation!
I think our team performed well!
We’ll see how far you go!

First of all, welcome and thanks for sharing.
Second of all I watched the WHOLE game and said
that you guys looked weak but I didn’t say ou were
a weak team far from it. I didn’t underestimate
you guys but to say that Senegal is expected to go
further thn Namibia in ANY competition is an
understatement.
BUt you’ll learn soon that I never overlook anyone.
We remmeber windhoek as a bad experience.
I’m sorry I hurt your feelings but even if your team
had a good display, at no point did they look like
they believed themselves that they could win against us.
