The Senegal team have the happiest warm-up routine that you’ll ever see

Glorious!

Paul Moore

Got to love these lads.

At present, every Irish supporter is watching from their sofa and saying ‘if only we were there.’

While nothing will ever detract from your love for the boys in green, every Irish fan has probably ‘adopted’ a second country to support during the World Cup and Senegal are making a strong case to be everyone’s favourite ‘second’ team.

For Liverpool fans, their devotion to Sadio Mane is an easy way in, but for other football fans, the enthusiasm that the Lions of Teranga have for the game is infectious.

Aside from their fans cleaning up after themselves – fair play lads – the side also have a very decent shot of making it past the group stages. Their opening round win against Poland has given them a superb start and with a game against Japan this afternoon, the African side will fancy their chances of making progress.

Ahead of the game, the Senegal squad went through a bit of light training and it’s fair to say that the mood in the camp is good.

Hell, the mood is positively joyous. Anyone fancy bringing this method into their own training?

Great scenes.
