In 2002, they were the Cinderella story of the tournament. But they have never made the finals.

Yes, Senegal was awesome in the 2002 World Cup, they defeated the current world champions France in their first match. Such a shame they didn't make it into the 2006 World Cup and too bad no African country in this year's World Cup managed to have the same success.

I know they reached the quarterfinals in 2002, when they were beaten by Turkey. I don't know if there were any other times.
