Nigerians come to Kenya visa-free but Nigeria is denying Kenyans visas after applying, paying $80, submitting flight + hotel bookings, invitation letters etcetera. How is this acceptable?

This was not your own footballing body's decision btw. The powers that be were hellbent on making an example of them. To send a clear message to anybody who would ever think of challenging the establishment. You can't have anyone as proof that dissent works

So to summarise 18 months out from a RWC all four teams in the REC look worse and less likely to be competitive against "Tier 1" than they did at the same point four years ago back in 2022. Then you look at the most recent edition of the PNC where Fiji (without a full strength

Une CAN ça se gagne sur le terrain pas au tribunal.😁🏆

Senegal are likely to argue that they did not abandon the game, the match was completed by the referee’s whistle. They can say Article 82 was misapplied because the game continued under the same circumstances and reached its natural end. The referee allowing Senegal back on

Clearly Patrice Motsepe wouldn’t want this to define his legacy. CAF’s ruling is unprecedented and will leave a lasting stain. They could have imposed harsh penalties on Senegal, but effectively rewriting 90 minutes of play in a match of that magnitude is completely absurd.

From stealing towels to stealing AFCON…

CAS will 100% give the trophy back to Senegal, by the way. 🇸🇳 But the fact that CAF tried to pull a stunt like this has really killed AFCON, and tarnished African football. For the integrity of the game, Dr Motsepe must resign as CAF President.

The saga around AFCON is farcical, but perhaps we should not be surprised. Even before the tournament, there was a certainty among Moroccans and other nations that the hosts would prevail. That was based not just on Morocco’s ability, but also a perception that they have undue

I was there the night Senegal won AFCON and, yes, the referee's decision was abysmal... but Morocco can NEVER claim what Sadio Mane and Co achieved as their own, writes LEWIS STEELE trib.al/vAwOiFe

CAF's Appeal Board ruled yesterday that in application of Article 84 of the AFCON Regulations, the Senegal National Team is declared to have forfeited the 2025 AFCON final, with the result recorded as 3-0 in favour of Morocco. But there are at least four serious legal arguments

Have been saying for years that Chelsea's abuse of the (now closed) long amortisation loophole was short-term gain but likely longer-term pain & it seems we may now be approaching that stage (🤞🏻) The Athletic explain it in more detail here but to summarise it, when you buy a new

Congratulations to the Morocco legal team - truly the greatest strikers in African football history. Who needs a world-class frontline when you have a committee that can score three goals from a mahogany desk two months after the final whistle?

We had Victor Wanyama and he was nice we enjoyed it. Wishing you all the very best in your retirement, Victor. Thanks for the memories 🤍

The WORST human beings I’ve ever met have an unshakable conviction that they are good people.

The future belongs to men and women of peace. Justice will always triumph over injustice in the end, just as violence will never have the last word, despite all appearances. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

The succession everyone called for years just happened, and it's the most revealing personnel decision in tech this year. Apple is the company most behind in AI: Siri delayed three times, Apple Intelligence launched with hallucinated news headlines, and the upgraded assistant is

I’m sad for Liam Rosenior, who’s just been sacked as Chelsea’s manager: he’s a decent, thoughtful and intelligent man. The problem lies with the owners, who don’t understand English football sufficiently and are wasting ludicrous amounts of money on a wrongheaded experiment.

Liam Rosenior’s time at Chelsea was bad, there’s no denying that. Certain quotes didn’t help. But the way he has been ridiculed by certain people, including some of his former team-mates, is cruel. I hope he is ok and can rebuild himself because there’s a good manager in there.
