The elimination of the Lions in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, on July 1 in Seattle against Belgium after having led 2-0, could have ended with a simple sporting assessment.

Between calculated admissions, mutual accusations, and backtracking, Abdoulaye Fall, Abdoulaye Seydou Sow, and Bacary Cissé offer a near-live look at the behind-the-scenes of an improvised crisis management.
