Swindon Town manager Ian Holloway believes Harambee Stars have an exciting prospect in teenage winger Louis Millard, highlighting the qualities that have made the 17-year-old a popular figure at the English club.Download our Mozzart Sport App for more newsMillard earned his first Harambee Stars call-up for the October-November international window after impressing for Swindon, but was forced to withdraw after suffering a shoulder injury.Holloway said he was not surprised to see the youngster receive international recognition and confirmed that he was disappointed to lose him at a time when he was making an impact for the club.”He isn’t fit enough to [go with Kenya], but he’s been called up, which is wonderful, isn’t it?

One great era has come to an end, but Argentina showed from the very first step into a new chapter that it has no intention of losing its trademark winning mentality. In their first match since reaching the World Cup final, and their first game of the post-Lionel Messi era (although he will make a special appearance to say goodbye against Benin in six days), Argentina defeated Bolivia 4-0 (2-0) in Cordoba.It was Argentina’s first outing since their defeat to Spain in the World Cup final, but also the beginning of a period in which the national team will have to build a new identity without the man who represented its face, symbol and central figure for 20 years.⏱️ Full time in Cordoba!🇦🇷 Argentina 4 🆚 0 Bolivia 🇧🇴⚽ L.

The transfer window closed some time ago, leaving only the free-agent market, and it is precisely there that Porto have found a surprising and familiar reinforcement. The latest news from Portugal is that the country’s giants have agreed a deal with Chris Smalling. The experienced Englishman is 36 years old, has been without a club since this June, and arrived in Porto today to undergo his medical and sign a contract until the end of the season.##TWITTER_

John Elkann’s decision to inject another 250,000,000 euros into Juventus, with the aim of covering the 66,000,000-euro deficit and providing funds for the necessary reinforcements, is yet another demonstration of the Agnelli-Elkann family’s bond with the ‘Old Lady’ and of the fact that Juve is the only major club in the world that has not changed ownership in more than a century — since 1923, when Elkann’s great-great-grandfather Giovanni Agnelli, Gianni Agnelli’s grandfather, took over the Turin club.##LINKED_NEWS_59137##Over the past seven years, the Elkann-Agnelli family has allocated 1,200,000,000 euros to cover Juventus’ debts and finance the club. Without that enormous financial injection, the Bianconeri would have ended up on the auction block or gone bankrupt. However, Elkann’s generosity has not been matched by results on the pitch. It could be said that, when it comes to football, Elkann resembles Massimo Moratti much more during the 1995–2006 period than he does his grandfat..

Instead of bringing his Portugal career to a dignified end immediately after the World Cup, as he had announced he would, Cristiano Ronaldo decided to return to the national team, apparently unwilling to draw the curtain on his international career just yet. Jorge Jesus recalled him to the squad for the Nations League matches. Ronaldo played against Wales in the first game, only to remain on the bench in the next one and sit out an entire match for the first time in 6,678 days. That clearly dealt a serious blow to his ego, as he refused to train, forcing the president of the Portuguese Football Federation to step in and resolve the situation.##TWITTER_

🚨 This was the moment Cristiano Ronaldo left the Portugal training camp.

If this truly is the end of his international career, what a shame it has ended this way.

Unlike Harambee Stars, who are co-hosts of the AFCON 2027 and have already qualified, South Africa need to win and secure the first place in group D. The reason? As Kenya is also in the this group, there is only one available space left and today Bafana Bafana took another strong step in order to be that team. After defeating their biggest rival Guinea on Saturday, South Africa did what Harambee Stars couldn’t – they defeated Eritrea 5-0. Kenya had a great opportunity to defeat the Red Sea Camels after 23 years, but instead had to fight for a draw, which came three minutes from time courtesy of Ryan Ogam. South Africa didn’t allow any hope to their opponent and resolved the game after only 45 minutes, when they scored two out of their five goals.##TWITTER_
