Senaya's hairstyle was of no concern for fans in the central African nation where soccer is played at every street corner or strip of sand.
Just the fact that wee Togo found a place in the tournament gave Togoans a huge attack of football fever. Folks have been excited since last October.
The streets were deserted in capital city Lome when Senaya and his team were on the field in Germany through June 22.
