With Seny on the bench.
(Stupidly, I've only just realised I can get BBC3 on my TV - I had to retune it, which seems to happen quite often with Freeview.)
Anyway, maybe Mendy will knock himself out on the post and Seny will come on and be the hero for Senegal. |  | | |  |

"Can anybody confirm. Is Seny the first QPR player to win a winners medal in an International tournament?"
Great question, Danny. |
To win (while playing for) - probably.
…Cesar won the World Cup as did Ardiles. [Post edited 6 Feb 2022 22:55]

Goodness that was a hard watch. An eminently forgettable final that brings to an end a largely average tournament. Senegal were clearly the standout team and deserved winners. An Egypt victory would have been hard to stomach; their tactics have been quite negative despite having a pretty decent squad. No surprise to see that they were coached by Carlos Queiroz.
So pleased for Seny. Looking forward to his return. [Post edited 6 Feb 2022 23:00]

Can anybody confirm. Is Seny the first QPR player to win a winners medal in an International tournament?
What I do know he is the only goalkeeper at this AFCON to be undefeated. 2 games 2 clean sheets. Then on the bench. If he doesn’t get a medal I hope they gave him a soft pillow.
Seny D. is my favourite QPR keeper since Phil Parkes. |

Ron Springett was given a World Cup Winner’s medal (by Gordon Brown!) in 2009 when FIFA awarded them retrospectively to all squad players, but he was a Wednesday player during the tournament.
Not forgetting Serge “Olympic Gold” Branco! [Post edited 6 Feb 2022 23:04]

The only modern players I can think of who were in and around squads who may have were loic remy and Julio Cesar. Don't know if they did though. Probably not as would have seen it on here if they had |  | | |

I remember hearing many years ago that an African team would win the world cup by the year 2000. Doesn't look any closer now than it did then. | | | |

Of course the Ibiza Cup counts. It’s a greater tournament than the Champions League FFS. But it is a club tournament and I am referring to International National Sov stuff.
Ibiza Cup second only to be Bortaloti Trofeo (so) [Post edited 7 Feb 2022 1:51]

I think Luongo won the equivalent continental competition with Australian but again that was just before he joined us. |  | | |

Was going to mention that. Watched a few games and it’s been mind numbing.
When that was mentioned in the 80’s they were free flowing teams and a pleasure to watch. Step in the European coaches and they’ve stifled the skill out of them. Like watching a bunch of robots, all seem to be six foot plus and carbon copy footballers.
Must admit when I first saw Chair my thoughts were neat footballer but at 4 foot 14 inches, might struggle in our modern game. He’s more than disproved that here, but not so it seems in the world of African football. |  | | |

There's been a couple of near misses - Senegal very good quarter finalists in 2002, Ghana only Suarez cheating away from the semi finals in 2010.
Not much to worry about from the current crop on the evidence of this tournament though. |  | | |

"Small" countries don't win the World Cup, not since 1950 anyway. Assuming big East African nations like Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania aren't going to develop a stronger football infrastructure and culture soon, it is going to take one out of Nigeria, South Africa, DR Congo, Egypt, Algeria or Morocco getting their act together. Not much sign of it on the evidence of this tournament. | | | |

Osvaldo Ardiles is the only one I can think off. Admittedly long before us  |  |

I was disappointed with Morocco. They played really well in the qualifiers, with lots of flowing attacking football, but were comparatively negative in how they played at the tournament and that really didn't play to the strengths at all. |  |

Not only do we have Seny on the Senegal bench, but the three in the tv studio, Jermaine Jenas, Nedham Onuoha and Yaya Toure, all have QPR connections. |
What is Yaya Toure's connection to QPR? |  |

Oh yeah forgot about that!
Not sure how soon Seny is back but I expect he might miss Boro, I would get him back in the side for Saturday (appreciate though Marshall has done pretty well). | |

Cameroon in 1990 too. 7 minutes away from knocking us out in the QFs until we get a slightly fortunate penalty. |  |

Probably not helped by France (and other countries) hoovering up some of the most talented players from Africa.
I seem to remember reading that 15 players from the 2018 World Cup winning France squad would have qualified to play for an African country. |  | | |

If Gaddafi had got his way, there might have been a singular pan African side that would have cleaned up from 1990 onwards. | | | |
