Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Senegal\u2019s Word Cup odyssey was cut short Sunday (Dec. 4) after a 3-0 defeat against England in Qatar.<\/b><\/p>\n

Fans watching the game in Dakar, from a fanzone, wished for a goal untill the very end.<\/p>\n

The Teranga Lions’ coach Cisse\u0301 admitted there had been a gulf in quality. First-half English goals gave the squad a mountain to climb and a third in the second half ended the contest.<\/p>\n

“Senegal losing to England in the round of 16 is no surprise especially since we played without Sadio Mane\u0301,” Mamadou, a fan, said. “It is logical but we are Senegalese and we faced this game with enthusiasm to galvanize the team. ”<\/p>\n

“A match lasts 90 minutes and in the first half we played pretty well and created chances but unfortunately we didn’t score,” said Cisse\u0301.<\/p>\n

“We were playing a very good England team and we saw that in their challenges, their physical strength. We weren’t as good as we should have been.”<\/p>\n

Serve the Senegalese and make all Africa happy<\/b><\/p>\n

Seydina Omar Niang, another fan, shared the Teranga Lions’ coach views: ” I expected Senegal to be much more consistent, much more assertive, much more aggressive […] Unfortunately England was much stronger than us, as logic expected. We can only be proud of our Lions.”<\/p>\n

Senegal that are ranked 18th by FIFA, end their World Cup campaign on 2 wins and 2 losses.<\/p>\n

Fans cheered for their teams in the ups and downs yet, the squad was missing two or three players who could have made a difference including star striker Sadio Mane\u0301 or midfieldder Idrissa Gueye.<\/p>\n

“As Senegalese, we did not even expect Senegal to reach the round of 16 without Sadio Mane\u0301. The [players] gave their all, they sacrificed, they gave body and soul so that they could come to the last 16, so they played a great tournament. They did their best to serbe the Senegalese people and to make all Africa happy.”<\/p>\n

Enven though Senegal had arrived with high hopes of matching a quarterfinal run of two decades ago, fans were thankful for the 2022 world cup tournament.<\/p>\n

The African champions will defend their title in 2024 in Ivory Coast. Then eyes will be set on the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n
