October 8th is approaching fast. That is the date when the whole Senegal will be focused on the CAF Appeals Board’s decision regarding the infamous AFCON final. After winning the title, the Lions of Terranga were stripped of their trophy since they left the field in protest at one point. The appeals committee of the Confederation of African Football awarded the victory to Morocco by default to which Senegal responded with an appeal of their own. And just as this topic slowly vanished from the main pages, former Morocco coach Walid Regragui indirectly brought it back to fore. Regragui is now a pundit for Canal+ and he basically criticized his counterpart in that final, Pape Thiaw.CAF ‘unimpressed’ by state of Kasarani Stadium, training facilities ahead of 2027 AFCON”We had a magnificent final with the two best teams in Africa over perhaps the last five or six years. On live television, people could have said we had a celebration and shown that African football had reached a new level wi..

He came in as a sub and after only seven minutes scored a first goal for Milan against Juventus after 658 minutes. A boy who was playing in Serie B just a few months ago received the ball on the left, then casually, as if he does it every day – left Manuel Locatelli in the dust, composed himself and curled the ball into the far corner past Guglielmo Vicario. As if scoring in one of the biggest derbies in Italian football were the most normal thing in the world. Away from home, with an entire stadium booing you. Alphadjo Cisse (19) managed to do all of that and once again showed that he is currently the biggest sensation in Italian football, while also proving that Milan made a shrewd move when they signed him from Verona for eight million euros last January.🇮🇹⭐️ 𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐣𝐨 𝐂𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞 (𝟏𝟗) against Juventus: • 29 Minutes • 1 GOAL• 100% Shot Accuracy • 100% Accurate Passes• 9 Touches𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑. 🚀 pic.twitter.com/utUubwPLLn— Rising Stars XI (@RisingStarXI) September 6, 2026 The story of Alphadjo..

Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones has admitted his decision to rotate the side, including handing Kenyan midfielder Timothy Ouma his full league debut, may have contributed to his team’s 4-0 defeat to Stoke City on Saturday.Ouma, who joined the Addicks on a season-long loan from Slavia Prague, was handed his first Championship start alongside Oliver Skipp as Jones made four changes to the team that drew with West Bromwich Albion.##NAJAVA_MECA_9936477##Charlton started brightly but their afternoon quickly unravelled in the 14th minute when Ouma was adjudged to have fouled a Stoke player inside the box, with the resulting penalty giving the hosts the lead.Stoke then capitalised on Charlton’s lack of cohesion to score three more goals before half-time, ending the Addicks’ unbeaten start to the season in emphatic fashion.While Jones felt the penalty was a poor decision, he acknowledged that the changes he made could have played a part in Charlton’s collapse and accepted responsibility..

It has been more than a decade and a half since Marseille last won the French title, and judging by the way they have started the new season, they won’t be winning it this time either. In fact, it feels like there will be no false hope or even the kind of euphoria so characteristic of a club that won the Champions League at the end of the last century. Nothing good is in the air. It smells like another gloomy season at the Velodrome! Even the transfer window suggested that Marseille would struggle to become a genuine challenger to Paris Saint-Germain, let alone anything more. Once the seemingly untouchable champions had made such a slow start, Marseille needed to take advantage and at least put some kind of pressure on them. Others have done so. Marseille have not. After losing to Paris, they are only marginally better off than the champions themselves – 2:3 (1:2).The third round is now over, and the table looks rather bizarre. Monaco are the only team with a perfect record, Paris Sain..
