🚨 Delighted to have had my first live FIFA World Cup pitchside experience when Morocco beat Scotland. 🇲🇦 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Let me share how that thrilling career highlight unfolded in Boston. It was a good, good day for the grind.

Happened on Saturday:

As advertised, 🇸🇳 Sadio Mané — joined by President of the National Assembly, Ousmané Sonko — performs the sod cutting of SM10, a 500-hectare agro processing initiative aimed at creating about 1000 jobs in and around his hometown, Bambali.

~$20m outlay.

Big endorsement of 🇿🇦 Mamelodi Sundowns from Edouard, after the South African side beat Al Ahli to win the Fifa African-Asian-Pacific Cup.

The victory qualifies Sundowns to play in the next stage of the Fifa Intercontinental Cup.

That 🇬🇭 Augustine Boakye goal. Me feeli.

[Gary Al-Smith @garyalsmith]

One goal and assist for 🇬🇭 Augustine Boakye today for St Etienne vs Metz. That's four goals and two assists this season. It's Ligue 2, yes, but the 25-year-old is brimming with confidence.

🇬🇭 Ernest Nuamah now Lyon's top scorer this season.

✅️ 4 goals
✅️ Also directly involved in four of Lyon's last five Ligue 1 goals (3 goals, 1 assist).

Thrilled for him.

Time up for Nora Häuptle, whose tenure as 🇿🇲 Zambia national women's team head coach ends.

She'd been on a three-year deal since
January 2025.

Mixed reactions to the decision, as some felt she needed more time and critics said she was too "distant" from the team.

🇬🇭 Fatawu Issahaku at Everton in numbers:

🟨 2 yellow cards
⏱️ 67’ sent off
🎭 2nd yellow: simulation

👤 Third player in the last 6 PL seasons to be sent off for a second yellow for simulation, he joins Yves Bissouma and Jacob Ramsey on the list.

At some point, not calling up players who so obviously deserve a spot has to be described as "negligence" because...

🇬🇭 Brandon Thomas-Asante vs Nottingham Forest:

• 43 touches
• 9/12 ground duels won
• 4 fouls won
• 4 interceptions
• 2/3 successful dribbles

Put in a shift up top and ran his socks off; was a valuable outlet for Frank Lampard’s side.

OFFICIAL: Zacharie Boucher has been dropped from #Madagascar squad following his 'ignorant interview' from 2018.

The France-born goalkeeper, 34, was due to make his debut in the AFCON2027Q but his controversial comments have cost him dearly.

[Gary Al-Smith @garyalsmith]

Seeing UCC gave our very senior colleague @kwesiprattjr an Honoris Causa. Very well deserved!

Big man, we need a few books from you o. 😃 If you and senior Kwaku Baako too do one or two collabs too we go happy brutal.

Congratulations!
