It is the third time Nigeria will claim back to back wins, after Rashidi Yekini and Emmanuel Amuneke (1993, 1994); Nwankwo Kanu and Victor Ikpeba (1996, 1997).
This takes Nigeria’s wins to 7 in total

Ademola Lookman is Africa’s King. Replaces Victor Osimhen as APOY! Back to back wins for Nigeria

AND NEW!!! Gukesh D is the new World chess champion. And the youngest ever! I love Ding, but he did not do much for chess in his time as champion, unfortunately. Gukesh, like Magnus before, will be a much better representative for chess

People see Iwobi performing for Fulham and wonder why that doesn’t translate to the Super Eagles. It does. Y’all just don’t see it. Iwobi is a “glue guy”. He makes it all work. Go back and watch him again and see how much work he puts in game by game

South Africa women’s national team lost their second friendly game of a two-game series with Jamaica. First game they lost 0-3, second 2-3. But lots of new players tested #BanyanaBanyana

If you’re a lover of African sports, especially football, with a bias for Nigeria, be sure to give me a follow on here

As usual

You and me both. A clear-headed Ding, playing with no pressure, can get this done

Ding Liren takes Game 1. Played some phenomenal chess. Very relaxed (well, until close to the end) and looked very much like the Ding of old. Gukesh at the looked crushed

Saquon Barkley has set an Eagles single-game rushing record AND career-high with 255 yards‼️

Ding Liren vs Gukesh Dommaraju for the World Chess Champonship starts in one day. If you’re going to be following, let’s go!

Thanks

It’s not. That’s why I felt it was a good angle of their story this season to explore in this article

Spirit's Kingsbury pins NWSL title hopes on team's 'never say die' fire Fight till the very end. That's been the theme of Washington Spirit's run this season, which propelled them all the way to Saturday's NWSL Championship game against Orlando Pride.

Unstoppable force vs Immovable object. It Washington vs Orlando on Saturday

NWSL stars Chawinga, Banda up for CAF women's POTY NWSL stars Temwa Chawinga, Racheal Kundananji and Barbra Banda are among 10 players listed for CAF's African Woman Player of the Year award.

No Oshoala as CAF names WPOY nominees with Chawinga sisters, Banda and Kundananji

CAF rules essentially disqualified Barbra Banda from the 2022 WAFCON, but the same CAF have now named her among the nominees for the Women’s Player of the Year award

Super Eagles' loss to Rwanda ends AFCON qualification on sour note Losing to Rwanda was not the result Nigeria were expecting in their final game of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, despite having already sealed their place in Morocco.

I’ve migrated. Will (hopefully) be spending more time here and on Threads than in that other cesspit
