Consecutive defeats against France and Norway in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers have sparked significant backlash against Senegal’s national team and its coach, Pape Thiaw. Supporters have taken to social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), to voice their frustration and disappointment with the team’s performance. Criticism ranges from questioning the team’s current strategy and skill level to demanding a change in leadership. The name of former player Habib Beye is circulating as a potential replacement for Thiaw, fueling further debate among fans. Online reactions are increasingly polarized, with some expressing extreme dissatisfaction and others urging for calm. Some observers link the situation to broader cultural trends within Senegal, suggesting a pattern of quick reactions and shifting expectations.
