So soccer is really big in Senegal. So big that a soccer match on television involving Senegal will make a television appear in my village and run off a generator that at least 50 people come to watch. Unfortunately, so big, that violence ensued at a game in Dakar for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match last month. Nevertheless, my village has a soccer team and it is soccer season! In the evenings, young men make it to the field for practices, and there are games multiple times a week. Honestly, it is kind of terrifying to watch because I can't say the players are particularly skillful...
