Who will be this year’s Senegal? The hard-tackling west Africans sparked the 2002 competition into life by steamrollering washed-out world champions France in the opening fixture, their very first match in the final stages of a World Cup.
Stalwarts almost to a man of the French first division, but far from superstars, they also beat Sweden (with two goals from Henri Camara, now of Wigan Athletic – and who would have predicted that four years ago?) before being outmuscled by Turkey.
