Rip Papa Bouba Diop le gaïnde 🇸🇳🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

I remember going to school that day, and before I left, I heard France had lost against Senegal. I was happy. From Colombia.

🇺🇲-🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿1-0 (1950) 🇰🇵-🇮🇹 1-0(1966) 🇨🇲-🇦🇷 1-0(1990) 🇸🇳-🇨🇵 1-0 (2002) Biggest surprises at the world cup history 😊

Greetings from Colombia for all people of Senegal. I have seen all matches of Senegal in Fifa World Cup, 2002 and 2018 and Senegal always has been a great team, a very very difficult rival for my team, Colombia, in Samara ¡¡dramatic match!! . Greetings , I like the country of "la Teranga".

I'm not African but outside of my native country Senegal is my all-time favourite underdog. That day they were true lions and they got back their pride. I hope Senegal will make it in WC2022 and go past the group stage.

Not only was beating France a tremendous achievement, Senegal very narrowly missed out on reaching the Semi Finals too - In their very first World Cup!

I will never forget this match! I have been a fan of Senegal ever since. Greetings from Bulgaria and congratulations for winning the African Cup of Nations!

My beautiful nation🙏🏾🇸🇳

Love from South Africa my African brothers. ♥️

In 2002 world cup I was watching this game in Somalia I was rooting for my brothers Senegal . Actually I'm pro African when it's comes to world cup I support all the African countries representing

RIP PAPA BOUBA DIOP 😭. PLEASE SEND GREETINGS TO BRUNO METSU IN THE HEAVEN

Senegal 2002, Ghana 2010, Costa Rica 2014...amazing surprises!

RIP Papa Diwope! Legend never dies.

Love to Senegal and France 🇸🇳🇫🇷 Your brother from Egypt 🇪🇬❤️

R.I.P Papa Bouba Diop. We always remember your goal in this match

El Hadji Diouf, Henri Camara, Salif Diao, Papa Bouba Diop, Aliu Cisse, Tony Sylva... Oh the grand memories of WC 2002! I was 16 and managed to watch pretty much all the games(missed some that were played at the same time with other games). I was almost glued to the TV screen for one month. I was rooting for Brazil thanks to Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Roberto Carlos but I was also sympathizing for the african teams aswell. World Cup is always special for me because during the tournament I can see players who I don't see otherwise and it's always so fun to see some new names to strike through even though they most often weren't known too well before the tournament.

I was in the final year of college just finished my exam running to the nearest cafe to see the match From Egypt with love to our brothers in Senegal

Rest in Power Champ. A lion never dies, he sleeps. Thank you for what you have brought to Senegal and Senegalese. You will be truly missed. May Allah grants you Aldiana. Inschallah. Sad day 😞

Biggest victory in 🇸🇳 history

That Senegal team was dynamic, full of tricky and fast players. Diouf was magic

That senigal team was 🔥

Senegal one of the best on Africa love from Algeria 😊😊😊😊

could you imagine how great is that first time in your life qualifying to the world cup and you don't have any experience with non african nations but you go to Korea and Japan and prove yourself and qualify to the quarter finals respect for senegal from Egypt 🇪🇬❤🇸🇳

I was rooting for Senegal & South Corea at that time. I was amazed by what those teams have accomplished in 2002.

R.I.P Papa Bouba Diop (1978-2020)

Rip Senegal Coach

And thus leads to the European curse which France Italia Spain and Germany were all out in the group stage

2002 c'était la meilleure équipe du Sénégal de tous le temps jusqu'à présent.

R.I.P. Bruno Metsu and Bouba Diop

Rest in peace pape bouba diop🙏🙏 we will remember all the memories specially this one against france I was 8 and remembered like yesterday🇸🇳

The 2002 WC is most memorable WC for me although my fav team didnt win it But because it was held also in Asia and I'm in Asia So most matches were held in afternoon or early in the evening My country really had WC fever because matches were held at friendly times for us People even who were not into football also watched the matches Unlike when it is held in european countries, where most matches played really really late by our local time, only true football fans were willing to wait until that late

I remember watching this match and rooting for Senegal, Thanks a ton for posting this and bringing a lot of great memories.

I cant forget this Match,am a Kenyan i celebrated Senegal as Afrikan...after this game i played Baaba Maal songs all along.The Senegalese Musician.

Rest in Peace, Papa Bouba Diop

Big up for senegal From algeria 💪🏽

Rest in Power.. RIP Papa Bouba Diop

Rest in peace Papa Bouba Diop

I remember the match I watch live on TV. Senegal had more hunger and urgency to win while France was complacent as they were World champions at that time. Great match !

Continue to rest in peace Bouba Diop.

Love from the Bangladesh

One of the Greatest football matches ever African teams will never stop impressing me.

Top scorers : Epl : Henry Serie A : Trezeguet Ligue 1 : Djibril Cisse No one can imagine that the result of WC2002 , france : 0 goals in 3 match

First View🤩 Love From India🇮🇳

I love African style of football... Love from India 🇮🇳

Who else is here right now after they heared that Papa Bouba Diop has died? RIP ✝️🕊🙏

My Teranga Lions!

I love Senegal playing style bcoz they play with muscles and strength different from other teams , that time France was much oversmart bcoz of world cup and euro wins , further , African nations can win the world cup if they play in strength and charity support if versus in Europe or American bcoz of their strength, nevertheless, I conclude that never underestimate Ur opponent.

Great moment for the Senegal nation and its people... 😘

Love from Palestine 🇵🇸🇸🇳

This was my first ever worldcup match, I was just 14 years old, I watched this very match with group of my neighbours, how time flies

I am an American of African descent. That Senegal team had swagger at that time. Scoring 14 goals and only conceding 2 in the African World Cup 2002 Qualifying! They were strong on both sides of the ball. Just think what could have been, a USA vs Senegal 🇺🇸 🇸🇳 World Cup Final match that year! If you look at the whole tournament and how it played out, you would understand what I'm saying!!:)

It was my first world cup match. I was 14 years old boy. We all gathered to watch , than my uncle's are chatting with each other,that France will win with 5 or 6 goals. Coz France was defending champion. And Senegal was unknown team . But at the Senegal win and whole world was shocked. Even in News everywhere it is about Senegal. Really it's was amazing experience.

A beautiful memory I had just turned nine.....❤❤❤ from Nigeria One Africa

Thank you brother nice video

Would love to see one of the African teams win the World Cup!!! I think with the talent coming out of Africa, it's only a matter of time. All the best from Canada!!! Stay safe!!! ❤️👍👏

football is not just a game, it's a religion which unites the whole World, its an EMOTION.. 🙂

RIP Pape Bouba Diop

Every World Cup has a sensational team and Senegal did it. If it weren't for Turkey, for the first time in history we would have a "world" semi-final: Senegal (Africa) vs Brazil (America) - Germany (Europe) vs South Korea (Asia). One of the best cups
