Senegal stands on the brink of history this Friday. The Teranga Lions are set to take on Iraq in the final group stage match of the World Cup. Ahead of this decisive clash, Bab Tiaw spoke out once more about the defeat to Norway.

After falling to France 1-4 and then suffering a 2-3 loss to Norway, the Lions now find themselves in a precarious position in Group A before facing Iraq tomorrow at 19:00 GMT. "The loss to Norway was painful, but it gave us even more motivation to beat Iraq and qualify for the next round," Bab Tiaw declared during the press conference.

Despite logistical and internal challenges and two early defeats, Senegal must respond—and Bab Tiaw believes they will.
