“I know this question is important to you. The match will be played on an artificial surface, but all of our players are ready. I cannot say for certain right now whether Salah will play or not.

African football is once again in the spotlight! And this time, not because of an exceptional result, a spectacular move, or a stunning goal, but because of an utterly bizarre situation that occurred during the 2027 U17 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.The qualifiers are split into six regional zones, one of which is the Central-East Zone (CECAFA), which produced the rarely witnessed moment.22.00: (1.20) Bournemouth (7.25) Sturm (12.0)After Rwanda, Uganda, and Ethiopia booked their places in the semi-finals from Groups A and B, the final piece of the Final Four puzzle was to come from Group C, where Somalia, Tanzania and Kenya battled it out.Unfortunately, the Junior Stars finished bottom of the group after suffering two 2-0 defeats, leaving the decisive battle for the remaining semi-final spot between the Ocean Stars and the Serengeti Boys.##LINKED_NEWS_69886##However, after the two sides played out a 1-1 draw and beat Kenya by the identical scorelines, all the usual tiebreakers – poi..

Arnold Agonda’s rugby journey began with a missed opportunity in football and a timely intervention from Kenya Sevens fly half, Nygel Amaitsa.The two were dorm mates at Musingu High School, and Amaitsa set Agonda on a path that has since taken him to the international stage.Download our Mozzart Sport app for more newsAgonda was playing football and hoped to represent Musingu’s Scorpions. However, the stiff competition for places in the school team meant he could not break through, forcing him to consider a different sporting path.That was when Amaitsa, who was already playing rugby, encouraged his dorm mate to give the sport a chance. The advice would prove pivotal in shaping Agonda’s career.“I played football in Form One, but I could not make the school team because the competition was stiff.

Ever since being drafted in 2024, Bronny James has been inseparable from his father, the great LeBron James. Truth be told, the youngster has never been a key player for the Los Angeles Lakers, making 69 appearances across his first two NBA regular seasons while averaging 2.7 points per game.Still, no one seemed to mind.Last July, however, LeBron joined the Philadelphia 76ers, leaving Bronny behind in California. Coincidence or not, the young guard’s problems soon began to mount.##LINKED_NEWS_69738##The new NBA campaign tips off in six days, and pre-season action has been in full swing. Yet Bronny has done little to impress. Across four games, he has scored just 11 points while committing as many as 12 turnovers, prompting Lakers head coach JJ Redick to publicly call him out.”I thought he had a really nice September and a good summer with us. I don’t think he’s played well in the four preseason games, but he’s had good practices.”##TWITTER_

Seven defeats in 12 Champions League matches, with all seven coming in their last eight games in Europe’s most prestigious competition, should set alarm bells ringing, especially given that Inter reached the final twice in the previous three years. After the match, Inter coach Cristian Chivu repeated the familiar phrase: “I take full responsibility for the defeat.” That phrase has become banal, some would even call it a cliché, because it is never followed by any concrete acceptance of responsibility, whether through the drastic measure of resigning or by admitting specific mistakes.Inter’s embarrassment in Milan: Brugge prodigy wrecks NerazzurriRather than simply taking responsibility, Chivu should have explained why his team had lost seven of their last eight Champions League matches or why they had conceded 14 goals in eight games across Serie A and the Champions League. After heavy defeats, such as Inter’s yesterday, the discussion should focus not on the consequences but on the ca..
