Reply to comment by JanklinDRoosevelt in [StatmanDave] Senegal have become the first African team to win a game at the 2022 World Cup. Lions of Teranga roar. by dragon8811
It’s still an achievement to make it that far and get a win.
There are plenty of less impressive feats that are hailed as monumental achievements. This one just happens to mean a lot to a whole continent of people.

No, it’s really patronising to make a big deal out of the African Champions comfortably beating a team they should comfortably beat. This is just business as usual, and is meaningless to anyone outside of Senegal.
If they got to the semi finals or something then it would be an achievement, but this is just meeting their lowest expectations. Stop being disrespectful
