Senegal may stand virtually no chance of winning the World Cup this year, but they can confidently say they are better than every team in the field in at least one category — celebrations.
Following their 2-1 upset win over Poland on Tuesday, players from Senegal broke out an awesome choreographed dance.

If you’re wondering where they get that enthusiasm from, you can probably start by looking at Senegal manager Aliou Cisse:

The passion was matched in the stands, as well. Poland’s fans vastly outnumbered Senegal’s, but the latter group managed to bring the noise and the gift of awesome music.
The football had been poor but the fans phenomenal. Vast, boisterous swathes of red and white temporarily silenced by vibrant pockets of green, yellow and red. Poland 0-1 Senegal #WorldCup pic.twitter.com/jytOWYMXCD

Judging by the way fans reacted to the heart Senegal’s players and their fans showed, it’s safe to assume they’ll have a few more supporters for their match against Japan on Sunday.
I want to go hang out with the Senegal fans! They look like they’re having a blast! #WorldCup2018
