![Nigeria legend Sunday Oliseh believes the Terangha Lions of Senegal can make history as the first African country to win the FIFA World Cup in Qatar this year. Aliou Cisse's men won their first continental title in Cameroon earlier this year edging out Egypt on penalties in the final. The West Africans also the beat the Pharaohs via penalties to secure a place in Qatar. There is one team that can win it in Africa and that is Senegal,” Oliseh told The COSAFA Show. “I have been following them for the past few years and watching the players in Europe, and the importance that they bring to their clubs. Senegal currently have the best goalkeeper in the world [Edouard Mendy], he makes saves, he is calm, and has height. " They also have one of the best central defenders in the world in Kalidou Koulibaly. I am amazed he is still at Napoli! He is solid on the ball, solid on the man, he can even move from the defence to the defensive midfield role. “And then they have Sadio Mane, and I don’t need to say any more about him. They also haveqan African coach [Aliou Cisse] that has been there for eight years now. So they have continuity, they have the talent and the exposure, all that is lacking in this team, in my opinion, is that high-level organisation. They need to go there with the view that they can win it.” Senegal are in Group A with hosts Qatar, Ecuador and Netherlands.](https://www.completesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/78BB9531-B5C4-40DA-B06E-9DB7C72A915A-758x379-1.jpeg "Klopp Praises Mane For Reaching 100th Goal In Premier League")
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has praised Sadio Mane for reaching Premier League 100 goals in the colours of the Reds.
The Senegalese international netted a goal in Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday at Anfield.
In an interview after the game, Klopp stated that Mane’s incredible hardwork was behind his feat.

“People obviously forget but around these 100 goals he worked incredibly hard, defended for us the wing, pressed high, counter-pressed, created goals, set up chances, all that kind of stuff. So the 100 goals are just one number, there are so many other numbers which are similarly important, but I’m really happy for him that he could reach that today.
“Yeah, a massive achievement. In the glorious history of this club only 18 players – if that is right – scored 100 goals, that says a lot. Nowadays players are usually not that long in clubs so I am really happy that I could work now already for five years with Sad and he’s just a top player.”

Congrats bro. Will never forget your fastest premier league hat trick with Southampton. Your power, pace and hunger(seriousness) for the game reminds me of Samuel etoo
What amazes me most about Sad is his infectious humility
