The ICC Women’s World Cup has gotten off to a flyer, and the first-time participants in the women’s fifty-over World Cup in Bangladesh showed a strong will, especially for the 70 overs. First, the bowling clicked, and the team built significant pressure, reducing South Africa to three for 69 at one point. However, two vital innings from Marizanne Kapp, who made 42 off 45, and Chloe Tryon, who made 39 off 40, eased off a bit of pressure from the Proteas as the South African women somehow crawled to 207. But there is no doubt that the Bangladeshi bowlers did…

The Malian Eagles were paired against North African giants Tunisia during the draw last month in the Cameroonian city of Douala. The West African side proved too strong for Rwanda, Kenya, and Uganda, having finished as toppers with an undefeated run in the group stages. Despite having all their home games played in Morocco, Mali recorded five wins from the group games and drew in the other without conceding a single goal. The Eagles couldn’t live up to expectations at the AFCON in Cameroon. This was because they were tipped by many to go farther than the round of 16.…

Ghana ended their AFCON adventure with a 3-2 defeat to the less-fancied Comoros side, debuting in the last group game. The dismal performance in Cameroon has led to the sacking of Serbian trainer Milovan Rajevac weeks after the tournament. Former Ghana international Otto Addo has been given the nod to execute the World Cup qualification ambition, and English/Irish coach Chris Hughton was named technical advisor. Black Stars will battle against the Super Eagles without captain Andre Ayew…

After exiting the tournament at the group stages, the Fennecs had a shambolic experience in Cameroon, losing two matches and drawing the other against Sierra Leone. Algeria was on a 35-game unbeaten run going into the AFCON tourney and was bizarrely torn apart with the defeats to Equatorial Guinea and Cote D’Ivoire. The Greens finished top of Burkina Faso, Niger, and Djibouti with an undefeated record in the group stages of the qualifiers. Djamel Belmadi will want his…

Interestingly, Senegal has to overcome the same opponents in a two-legged tie next month to secure qualification to the Mundial. The Teranga Lions cannot afford to miss out at the World Cup; they have to represent Africa as the champions but must see off the Pharaohs in a crunchy duel. A Senegal team with head coach Aliou Cissé, then a player reached the quarter-finals in their maiden World Cup appearance in 2002. This…

As the country was called, then Zaire was the first Sub-Saharan African team to qualify for the Mundial in 1978 but failed to train again. The Leopards needed a controversial penalty and another goal in the last round of the group stages to beat Benin 2-0. To pick a place in the playoffs. DR Congo was absent from the 24 countries in Cameroon for the AFCON 2021 as they failed to qualify from a group that had Gabon, Angola, and The Gambia. Congolese fans who have been starved of tournament football since the 2019 AFCON welcomed the World Cup qualification.…

Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens failed to meet the 75% threshold in their last year of eligibility. What does this mean to the Hall of Fame? It’s all here for Bradford Doolittle (Boston Doolittle), Alden Gonzalez (Tim Keown), and Buster Olney (Buster Olney). What do YOU think of David Ortiz’s first year in the Hall of Fame? Doolittle – I’d probably vote for Ortiz. His 541 homers, while not an automatic ticket for 500+, are a solid avatar for the length of his success. His career WAR is low because he lacks positional value. However, that’s an abstract and brief…
