Senegal in Trouble but World Cup Dream Not Dead
Pape Bouna Thiaw said Senegal still can qualify with one match left, despite becoming the first side to open a World Cup with two defeats.
- On Monday, Senegal suffered a 3-2 defeat to Norway, marking their second consecutive World Cup loss after falling 3-1 to France in their Group I campaign opener.
- Coach Pape Bouna Thiaw attributed the loss to poor timing, noting the team conceded goals 'just before half-time and then just after we came out for the second half' against a 'very strong Norwegian side.'
- France, who defeated Iraq 3-0 in Philadelphia, and Norway both secured six points, advancing to the next round and leaving Senegal in a precarious position.
- Despite the setbacks, Thiaw insisted it is 'too early to say that we failed,' urging the squad to focus on their final match and secure three points.
- Regarding potential progression, Thiaw said 'once you're in the next round, then it's another tournament that starts,' emphasizing the importance of their remaining match.
