Senegal's
wins against World Cup hosts Japan and South Korea in
the build-up to Mali 2002 says much about the ambition
of the Lions.
They are definitely
the team of the moment, and feel they are going
places.
They made a big
impression at the last Nations Cup, coming within four
minutes of putting out co-hosts Nigeria.
Team-spirit and
morale are at all-time highs, and the Lions are
getting stronger all the time.
They have had a
fantastic year, but with the Nations Cup and a first
ever appearance at the World Cup beckoning, 2002
promises to be even better.
As star striker El
Hadj Diouf says: "If we don't reach the
semi-finals in Mali it will be a huge
disappointment."
Don't be surprised if
Senegal go a step or two further than that.
