-If the players of Oumar Ngalla Sylla want to go to the end of the competition, they will have to overcome particularly tough opponents. If they therefore came to beat Italy-in search of its first trophy at the World Cup, the partners of Captain Al-Seyni Ndiaye would find Portugal or Japan in the semi-finals.
