    Senegal Football Federation’s mismanagement of finances is a symptom of a bigger problem

    The Senegal Football Federation’s (FSF) delayed payments in bonuses is a major concern. It reveals the fragility of the federation, and highlights the impending doom for women and youth football if not fixed.

    Senegal’s AFCON and World Cup experience can lead them past Norway 

    Senegal has played 25 competitive matches since the start of 2024 compared to Norway’s 16. They placed six matches against current World Cup participants compared to Norway’s two. Senegal’s vast experience in continental and global competitions will give them the win over Norway.

  • Ghana won’t make it to the knockout stages, and I blame Kurt Okraku

    Ghana won’t make it to the knockout stages, and I blame Kurt Okraku

    Ghana won’t advance to the knockout stage, and it was clear before the World Cup started. GFA President Okraku provides instability, unnecessary pressure, and astronomical expectations. As long as he’s president, Ghana football is going nowhere.

    Côte d’Ivoire’s football academies deserve recognition this World Cup

    During the American broadcast of the Côte d’Ivoire versus Ecuador match, the commentators waxed lyrical on Yan Diomande’s US footballing background. It’s important to also acknowledge Côte d’Ivoire’s academies and their part in developing World Cup talent.
