After a less than ideal start to the tournament, Africa is now seeing significant success at the FIFA World Cup. Monday's games saw Cape Verde carve out a draw against Spain and Egypt impress in a 1-1 draw with Belgium.
Meanwhile, Tunisia have hired Herve Renard as they seek to turn their fortunes around after a disappointing 5-1 loss in their opener against Sweden.
Today, Senegal will face France in a repeat of an iconic 2002 FIFA World Cup face-off, which saw the Lions of Teranga upset the then-world champions 1-0.
Kick-off in that game in East Rutherford is at 9 p.m. CAT (7 p.m. GMT) before Algeria face Argentina in a late (or early for fans watching in Africa) kickoff in Kansas City (3 a.m. CAT on Wednesday).
