I'm from Turkey. I watched this match live on TV. This team was the best squad in Senegal history. El Hadji Diouf was my favorite football player.

[DolfoLicks]

RIP Papa Bouba Diop, a hero for Senegal and a player for history books. Legendary!

I remember this game. Here in the US the game had been over by the time we got out of high school. We got out and I immediately went home to look up the final score. As I went home a couple of people told me France had lost 0-1. I thought to myself, they must not have watched the full game or something. I got home and realized they were telling the truth lol! It was one of the biggest upsets in Football history. Senegal 🇸🇳 had a great team!

[HusseinKefel]

In this particular game, the Senegalese goalkeeper and defense were solid as a rock and history was made

[seydouniane]

je revois ce match avec les larmes aux cette génération était unique, ils nous on fait pleuré d'émotions et aujourd'hui on pleure l'acteur principal de tristesse....le lion repose éternellement

[skiteufr]

As a proud Frenchman, i came here to pay my sincere respects to Papa Bouba Diop after learning his death. I know that History is tormented between France and Africa, but football allows us to put this apart and to unite in admiration for the achievements and greatness of others. Peace

It was a great joy to all Africans
