Episode 41: Déjà vu for France as Senegal eye World Cup shock

The FFS is back with a big preview of France's first game of the 2022 FIFA Worls Cup, against Senegal. Matt Spiro talks to the former Senegal international Ricardo Faty, who was born and raised and France and admits he is going to have mixed feelings on Tuesday! On 31 May 2002, Senegal sent shockwaves around the planet by defeating France in the opening game of the World Cup. On Tuesday, the Teranga Lions are looking to upstage their former colonial masters once again. Ricardo Faty was 15 and training at the Clairefontaine academy at the time - and like everyone in France, he vividly remembers the moment Papa Bouba Diop stunned the world champions. 24 years on, will history repeat itself? Ricardo Faty insists Les Bleus won't be complacent this time around, but also thinks Didier Deschamps is facing some difficult selection decisions.
