Senegal are the pride of Africa–Fans

Encomiums have been pouring out on the Teranga Lions of Senegal after they emerged the first African
country to win its match in the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Senegal defeated Poland 2-1 in a Group H encounter to raise the hopes of the black continent and fans have taken to Twitter to congratulate the West Africa Nation.

Below are the tweets:

Congratulations to Sadio Mane and all the Senegalese 🇸🇳 players.

You didn’t make just your country proud, you’ve made Africa proud.

More wins incoming 🤸🏽♀💥#POLSEN #WorldCup

@DaLostBrazilian wishes that the winning team was the one who donned the Nigerian jersey!

A wish the Senegalese players dressed those Nigerian Jerseys!— ThelostbrazilianMoshe (@DaLostBrazilian) June 19, 2018

@gimbakakanda, took a veiled umbrage at the Super Eagles World Cup ensemble, saying the Senegalese are
ambassadors and not super models:

The Lions of Teranga!🙌🏾My Senegalese root has never ever been in doubt. The Cheikh Anta Kakanda family of Dakar approve of
what our national team wore to Russia; it’s our favourite. We are ambassadors, not super models.

Someone, @WhiteCurryLover—For a team that just won their hardest game, the Senegalese players are
very reserved in their celebration

Senegalese jollof rice is working for Senegalese players toady 😂🤣
