the injury issue of sadio mane is something that, from what i could read and understand, he will not be able to improve in time to play a game in this world cup, maybe i can assume that even if senegal reached the final of the world cup, he would not be there better health to play in the world cup final, so they are just thinking about him being better for next year's games in the bundesliga, and he was really unlucky, he was the main player in senegal that gave a lot of strength in the qualifying games for the world cup, he reminds me of El Hadji Diouf, but at least El Hadji Diouf played in the world cup for senegal and played very well, without a doubt that mane if he had played he would have been able to score goals in this world Cup

Alex Telles ?! I honestly wish they use someone else in replacement for him he's such a lazy player who doesn't have that strength to match those black player's.
the news about neymar and the brazil team is bad, according to news channels in portuguese that i could read, they are saying that neymar and some brazil players have fevers and under suspicion of being covid, so the brazil coach will put team B to play against Cameroon tomorrow, as Brazil is already in another phase so it won't be a problem if they lose in this game, I even pray that Cameroon can win in this game and that Switzerland lose in this game so that Cameroon can win move on to another phase, that would be very good because there would be another team from Africa in another phase, now if neymar and other players get covid then that will be something bad for brazil
Regarding Mane I would also say that it is a personal tragedy. This was the tournament that he deserved during his prime age. He wasn't in the very best shape for Bayern Munich, but playing for the national team at such a tournament is a whole different ball game. I think he could and would have been one of the shining stars in Qatar. Senegal is all about the spirit and unbelievable motivation and that is also what Mane is about. Sad to see he couldn't make it and at the next tournament he will be 34.
Regarding the Brazilian team, that's an interesting development and would actually be the easiest way to give players a break without risking to be accused of unfair competition. In the case of Neymar I think it is still uncertain what the situation with his ankle actually is. Although he is acting way too much on the pitch, I still think he deserves to be playing the final round. Hopefully he gets healthy.
