@CesarAzpi @ImagoSport You are the epitome of what every club needs—a hard worker, humble, consistent and such a great surprise element! Gracias, Sir César.

Dear football,

Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in my life.

Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career.

When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. I’m grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made along the way.

To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs I’ve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to me…

Agree. But I studied law and now work in STEM field. Law is a great foundation and it’s so versatile that you can always branch off to something else. Be a lawyer who can code,audit & manage projects. Thank me later also 🤣

As bad as tonight’s decision is, it might not be CAF’s worst

Ahead of the 2010 AFCON, the Togo team bus was shot at, resulting in 3 dead, 9 injured. CAF suspended Togo for the next two AFCONs for “government interference” after the team flew home to deal with the trauma

Senegal are likely to argue that they did not abandon the game, the match was completed by the referee’s whistle.

They can say Article 82 was misapplied because the game continued under the same circumstances and reached its natural end.

The referee allowing Senegal back on the pitch and Morocco happily continuing the game will be used to state the match - and result - was valid.

As the final was completed, they can argue the integrity of the game was upheld.

They can also claim changing the winner of a completed final is an extreme overreach by the Appeal Board. And that the punishment for a delay - not a refusal to play as they finished the game - is excessive.

Trophies are won on the pitch 🇸🇳⭐️⭐️

When I Started Respecting Namibia

During my master's program, there were some Namibians attending the same school as I was, though they were enrolled in education programs. Along with students from other African countries, we all belonged to the African Student Association.

For the Namibians, their tuition fees were covered by their government, and they also received a stipend of €1,000 per month. In contrast, those of us from West and East Africa were either self-sponsored or funded through our university scholarships. While we scrimped and saved every cent, juggled part-time jobs, and tried to send money back home to our families, the Namibians were living up the life, traveling, clubbing, and indulging in exotic foods that we simply couldn't afford at that time, as students🤣.

After graduation, the Namibians threw a special party, and they all WILLINGLY returned to Namibia. I mean, every single one who had come for a master's degree went back. There was one woman pursuing her PhD at the time who stayed longer, but she returned immediately after completing her program.

I was close to two of them, so I asked each, separately, why they weren't staying behind to build a life here. Their answers were remarkably similar: "Stay back for what? There's nothing here for us. We can always come for holidays. There's so much more to enjoy in Namibia. We're paid well, and we've been travelling to different countries even before coming here to study." I was shocked. One even laughed at the question and asked why I'd want to stay back in such a cold place.

If you've been following me for a while, you've probably noticed how often I mention wanting to visit Namibia. I really do. I can't wait to go. One of those two friends keeps asking when I'm finally coming to visit.

Being the "African giant" isn't about population size, oh no. We're just clinging to past glories. In our parents' era, some were sponsored abroad by the Nigerian government for studies, and most returned home. These days, how many are even sponsored, and how many actually come back?

Namibians truly love their country, and you won't find them scattered all over the world like us.

If this happened at AFCON, some pundits would have been all over podcasts, Tv and radio shows slamming the AFCON standards.

But because it’s in the EPL, we are told it’s passion. 😅

[Veldskoendraaier @blakShuz]

@Shesshy2 I had no idea this school looked like this. What a pleasant surprise.

[Veldskoendraaier @blakShuz]

Wild! 😭😭😭

Back to winning ways at Old Trafford. 😏

[Veldskoendraaier @blakShuz]

@BrentfordFC @KayeFuro Already hopeful, as the bees can scout strikers.

[Veldskoendraaier @blakShuz]

@Algeria_FC Admin, please go console your players! South'A are fighting their coach already

@oeste His vision is falcon-like!

Zidane just got cooked, and I love that the father witnessed it in HD.

Iwobi you beaut!

@GaytonMcK Algeria must voetsekkkk

If Namibian consumers want cheaper, faster internet, should the protection of local operators ever outweigh our right to choose Starlink?

You may know him as Nasty C, the South African rapper, songwriter and record producer. But behind the fame, who is Nsikayesizwe David Junior Ngcobo? The BBC’s Nyasha Michelle sat down with him to find out.

Paying 20-40k for VIP experience and having to go queue up for ice is crazy to me. If I pay that much there must be an ice making machine next to me with Mawhoo personally massaging my ears coz music too loud.

As a representative of the public that overwhelmingly prefer Yango over taxis, the Minister need to evaluate the regulations to determine if an extra Permit is a helpful necessity or redtape. A Licence Disc is a permit to use the public road. Some of our regulations are absurd.
