Two excellent goals from Lamine Camara. Time to do some research on him :ohhh:
he plays for Metz.
that club has an academy in senegal and they basically pool players from there. I pretty sure most or atleast half of Metz players come from their academy in SN. Pape Sarr from there too, i think.

Senegal handling business, they've been the most consistent African NT for four years now.

Way more goals in this AFCON so far compared to Cameroon.

Speaking of Cameroon, I see them losing to Guinea today.

Said the same thing in my footy group chat. I think both the pitches are better and African football is getting better.

AFCON25 should be a good one since it’s in Morocco and during the summer. Players should be well rested, heat won’t be too bad and there won’t be the midseason clash with UEFA

20 years old and from same local academy Mane came from. Senegalese have most professional FA and football program in West Africa.

Senegal has the foundation to pull a 3-peat at AFCON. They have the proper infrastructure, process and coaching. Best FA in Sub-Saharan Africa

Kid is a baller. Whole performance was amazing in midfield.
This is why the AFCON is so important. African grassroot football isn’t quite there yet so tournaments are were some under the radar players get serious looks.

Osimhen and Chukwueze got their big European scouts interested in them after U17 WC performances.

AFCON should never move to a 4-yr cycle IMO

Cameroon 1 - 1 Guinea

The Indomitable Lions tried to prey upon the Syli National (National Elephants) but they were chased away. Both live to fight another day.

Senegal 3 - 0 Gambia

The Scorpions' stings had no effect on the Lions of Teranga. The big cats tore off The Scorpions' tails.

Cameroon looked terrible despite the point. No Onana or Aboubakar so will see if they make a difference against Senegal. Haven’t been impressed with them under Song.
