🇳🇴 When Kristian Thorstvedt was subbed on against Iraq, Norway became the FIRST team in World Cup history to field THREE sons of former World Cup players in the same match.
Alexander Sørloth, Erling Haaland and Kristian Thorstvedt all featured — and incredibly, their fathers played together for Norway at the 1994 World Cup in the USA. 🤯🇳🇴👏
France v Senegal. It is called the African derby for a reason😅
16 out of 26 players are of African descent.
Koundé - Father is from Benin Republic, French mother, born in Paris. That’s why he travels to Benin republic every summer
Konate - Malian parents, born in Paris.
Upamecano - Parents are from Guinea-Bissau, born in France
Saliba - Cameroonian mother, Lebanese father, born in France.
Brice Samba - Congolese parents, born in Congo, but they moved to France when he was 6 years old.
Kante - Malian parents, born in Paris. He could have played for them as they invited him for 2015 AFCON and subsequently in 2016, but he felt he wasn’t ready, France called him a year later.
Tchouameni - Cameroonian parents, born in France
Koné - Ivorian parents, born in France

Just to add, 10 out of 26 Senegalese players were also born in France 😭 (Koulibaly, Mendy, Pape Gueye, Ndiaye, Mamadou Sarr, Mbaye, Antoine Mendy, Niakhate, Diouf, and Diaw).
Immigration won again😂
Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the African Derby😂
@Oyoyo28284682@Toniatuslim Looooooooooool. A woman planning to marry wasn't ready to listen to the husband when he told her to return the money.
You are talking like a very young person, when you are ready for marriage, you can decide to go on yourself.
Africa and Asia have turned the 2026 World Cup upside down. 🌍🔥
Morocco held Brazil.
Egypt held Belgium.
Cape Verde held Spain.
Saudi Arabia held Uruguay.
South Korea won.
Australia won.
Qatar took a point.
The rest of the world was told to fear Europe and South America.
So far, Europe and South America are the ones being tested. 👀
Football has changed.

As far as I am concerned the Devil himself is ruling over Nigeria through Tinubu.
How do you explain a government who takes away every form of soft landing from the citizens and then lie to them that things are better despite their experiences saying otherwise?
@abisal21512@channelstv You are actually an idiot. You have been going about being abusive, and I think, you needed one. What idiotic point are you trying to justify, that N210 Trillion won't solve major infrastructural challenges in Nigeria?
Or your brain dey leak?
A nation united. A democracy strengthened.
On this Democracy Day, we reflect on Nigeria's democratic journey and the enduring values of freedom, participation, and collective responsibility that continue to shape our nation.
As we celebrate the progress made, we are reminded that a stronger future is built through active citizenship, shared purpose, and a commitment to the common good.
First Icon joins Nigerians in celebrating our democratic heritage and the voices that continue to shape a more prosperous and inclusive future.
Happy Democracy Day, Nigeria.

PRESS RELEASE
KOGI GOVERNMENT MOURNS ILUKE VICTIMS, COMMENDS SECURITY FORCES FOR FOILING MASS ABDUCTION OF WAEC CANDIDATES
1. The Kogi State Government has received with deep sadness the report of a terrorist attack on Iluke Community in Bunu District of Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area by criminal elements who disguised themselves in military uniforms in a desperate attempt to deceive residents and perpetrate their evil act.
2. The unfortunate attack led to the death of three members of the community. Government extends its heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased, the people of Iluke Community, and the entire Bunu District over this painful loss.
3. Even as the State mourns the painful loss of three community members, Government commends the swift response, exceptional bravery, and gallantry of military personnel and local security forces whose intervention prevented the attackers from carrying out a mass abduction of students and inflicting further casualties on the community.
4. Reports available to Government indicate that the bandits disrupted an ongoing WAEC examination and had already begun marching students into the bush when security operatives engaged them in a fierce gun battle. Owing to the superior firepower, professionalism, and courage of the security agents, all the students were successfully rescued unharmed and returned to safety.
5. During the operation, security forces neutralised one of the bandits, while several others escaped with severe gunshot injuries. Security agencies are currently on the trail of the fleeing criminals and are intensifying efforts to ensure that all those connected with the attack are apprehended and brought to justice.
6. The Kogi State Government expresses profound appreciation to the military, local vigilantes, hunters, and other security personnel whose sacrifice, patriotism, and commitment to duty saved innocent lives and prevented what could have been a devastating mass abduction.
7. Government is closely monitoring the situation in the affected community and is working with relevant security agencies to strengthen security presence in the area. Additional security measures will be announced in due course as part of ongoing efforts to safeguard lives and property.
8. We urge residents to remain calm, vigilant, and cooperative with security agencies by providing timely and credible information that can assist ongoing operations against criminal elements.
9. Let it be clearly stated that Kogi State will not submit to terror. Criminal elements seeking to undermine the peace and security of our State will continue to meet a determined, coordinated, and uncompromising response from security agencies and the Government.
10. Once again, we sympathize with the bereaved families and pray for the peaceful repose of the souls of the deceased. We also stand in solidarity with the people of Iluke Community as security agencies intensify efforts to restore calm and bring all those responsible for this heinous attack to justice.
Signed:
Kingsley Femi Fanwo

Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri dissolves board, management of Bayelsa United, sacks all players for being relegated from the NPFL to the second-tier of the league despite huge state’s investments on the team.
At this point, @daily_trust should be held accountable for repeatedly pushing misleading information.
In their own report, they admitted they had no conclusive evidence that any students were abducted. Yet, they still chose to publish a headline claiming students were abducted just to attract clicks, fuel panic, and hand criminals the publicity they crave. They deliberately did it because they know a lot of Nigerians are too lazy to read, so they ran with headlines.
Journalism should be driven by facts, not speculation. When a media organization knowingly amplifies an unverified narrative despite acknowledging the lack of evidence, it undermines public trust and damages its credibility.
