Goalkeeper Benjamin Asare plays for Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League.
He’s spent his entire club career in Ghana.
Now he’s kept a clean sheet against England at the World Cup, a nation whose players all feature in Europe’s top leagues 😮👏

"The Nelson Mandela Foundation is humbled and proud to have its patron's name, Nelson Mandela, appear at the Obama Presidential Center. The Nelson Mandela Sky Room is not only a tribute to Madiba's legacy, but also a symbol of the continuing dialogue between Africa and the world, and between generations of leaders committed to expanding freedom and justice for all.
To see Mandela's name woven into a place dedicated to preserving President Obama's extraordinary journey is both moving and fitting. It reflects the arc of influence between one leader who inspired the world and another who carried that inspiration forward. We are proud, humbled and profoundly grateful for this gesture of remembrance and connection"

@Hopemalopa If only they (MPs) could use their roles, their influences, their wealth, to change the fortunes of their constituents for the better, permanently!
🚨🚨🎙️ Roy Keane: "You’ll NEVER hear Argentina players disrespect Messi... Neves needs to learn respect"
🎙️ Reporter:
“Roy, what did you make of Joao Neves saying Ronaldo is ‘just another player’ for Portugal?”
🗣️ Roy Keane:
“Listen, I’ve had enough of this. The kid’s 19. He’s played what, 15 games for his country? And he’s talking like Ronaldo’s some squad player.
‘He’s not different from the others’? Are you kidding me? This is Cristiano Ronaldo. Five Ballon d’Ors. Over 200 caps. Goals at every World Cup.
And you’ll NEVER see any Argentina players say that about Messi. NEVER. Those boys respect him so much. They’ll run through walls. They do everything possible to see him win with their last drop of blood.
That’s what a real team does for a legend.
He carried Portugal before Neves was even born. Before he could kick a ball.
You show respect to legends. You don’t sit there at a World Cup press conference and say he’s ‘just here to help like everyone else’.
He IS different. The standards, the mentality, the winning — that’s Ronaldo.
If Neves wants to be great, he should be watching Ronaldo, not dismissing him. Otherwise he’ll be another kid who talked too much and won nothing.”

Wishing a happy 84th birthday to a remarkable statesman and politician who embodies pan-African ideals and inspires me across Africa and beyond as a true son of the continent.
