The Lions of Senegal: they have not won a game since 10 months!!!

10 months, the Lions of Senegal have not won a game. Conceding a draw 1-1 against the Angolans Saturday in Conakry in a match accounting for the third day of the qualifying for the World Cup in 2014, the Lions of Senegal have confirmed their lack of performance on the field for 10 months.

The series debuted in Kampala June 9, 2012 against the Ugandan Cranes. In a match counting for the first day of the 2014 World Cup playoffs, Senegal named favorite on paper could not do better than a draw (1-1) at the end of the meeting.

Occur then the 2012 Afcon playoffs in the form of knockout games (round trip).

Senegal for having poorly negotiated Afcon at the beginning of the year could not be better than an ogre of the African football. Côte d’Ivoire in this case.

On the way to Abidjan, September 29, 2012 the band of Joseph Koto (coach sacked and replaced by Alain Giresse), Senegal dives and takes a defeat of 4 to 2.

Yet despite all the hope put in Dakar and in the Senegalese ranks 15 days after October 13, 2012 received the Elephants of Yaya Toure and Didier Drogba. Sorrow befell them. Applied and very willing to enforce, despite the armada of pros aligned by Joseph Koto, Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure sealed the game at their leisure.

Côte d’Ivoire manhandles the band of Papis Demba Cissé placing them a score of 2-0.

Ironically, the game is interrupted in the 77th minute of game for land encroachment and violence from the stands of the Léopolod Senghor stadium.

The arbitrator certifies the results on the ground. Senegal, will not take part in Afcon 2012. The Commissioner of CAF released his report. The football governing body imposes heavy sanctions on the Senegalese who are left with the only available stadium suspended for one year closer to $ 100,000 fine.

Meanwhile Senegal changed its coach and opted for the French school with the former player of Bordeaux and the team of France, Alain Giresse.

This latter for his baptism of fire faced on February 5, 2013 in a friendly match in the Paris suburb, the national Sily of Guinea.

Still no victory. The teams parted on a score of 1 to 1.

The last note of the performance against Senegal in ten months was played this Saturday, March 23, 2013 at the 28 September stadium in Conakry  against the Angolans.

In the first leg accounting for the third day of the World 2014 playoffs, the Lions are hung by the Palanca Negras (1-1) after opening the scoring in the 38th minute of the game and missed a penalty early in the second half time.

Continuing a series of five games without a win, which increasingly concerned the Senegalese wonder a series of questions.

From the most cartesian to the most mystical!

Indeed, in two months it will be a year that the Lions of Senegal has not won the smallest game. This gives way to serious concerns for the next game against the Palancas Negras in early June in Luanda and accounting for the fourth round of qualifying of the World 2014.
