An 81-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper, Sebastiao Lourenco, who saved Pelé's penalty on 12 May 1971, has kept the ball till today. Game was in the Brazilian national championship.
He is the only goalkeeper alive who saved a penalty kick from Pelé.
“At Malmo, we played Real Madrid in the Champions League. A player was down injured so I approached Ronaldo and asked for his jersey but after the game I didn’t see him again. I was in the dressing room, he came to look for me and gave me two jerseys” Enoch Adu Kofi on Angel TV
Dear
@FIFAcom
, this is a public protest asking you to review and suspend this referee, Ismail Elfath.
He’s an apology of a referee and shouldn’t be doing this at this level. Game changing decisions without remorse.
I joined a Nigerian space to troll.
The first Nigeria speaker said “at least I’ve seen my country win the AFCON during my life”
I left the space bruh.

Officials of the club are at the site as search continues.
Our brother will be out safe. Insha Allah. Trust 🤲🏻

Offered to drive teammates home. Attack occurred. Tried to help but was restrained. Arrested and accused of masterminding. Obviously by same teammate she was helping.
Sentenced by public. Released & declared innocent.

There are so many cities in the world where you’ll need to intensely convince people to come and watch football.
In Kumasi, they just need to be informed of kickoff time.
Former Manchester United player Memphis Depay is currently in Cape Coast, Ghana to support the Deaf and Dumb School here. And he chose to dress as one of them.
The Dutch star, whose father is a Ghanaian, is visiting Ghana for the second time to engage in charity projects.
That’s why I choose football. You never go to a stadium and have to wait for the characters to come when they want. All 22 men, even if it includes Ronaldo and Messi, come when it’s time. 3pm Kickoff is 3pm. I like certainty.
Jay Jay Okocha on Sadio Mane taking the penalty;
"In Africa we know how are fans are. He risked his life, he risked his family and even his home. But that's what he's made for"
True.
MAURITANIA 🇲🇷
A country largely covered by desert.
In 18 years, ie between 1995-2003, they never won a single football match.
In 2010, they withdrew from AFCON qualifiers due to financial crisis.
By 2011, they were ranked [207] by FIFA, practically the poorest football…
Luis Suarez on the 2010 incident;
I don’t need to apologize. I’d apologize if I injured a player but in this situation, I handled the ball, I take a red card and the Ghana player missed the penalty. It’s not my fault. I didn’t miss the penalty. It’s not my responsibility”.
Tariq Lamptey was the last person I thought would play for Ghana. Now his decision is 100% made. His nationality process has hastened beyond imagination. One of the best young right backs in the world will be a Ghana international soon.
Excited. Akwaaba Lamptey

Guinea 🇬🇳 actually turned up for their son Paul Pogba yesterday.
Over 50,000 fans including the Military President and his ministers filled the General Lansana Conte Stadium for the Paul Pogba Charity event.
Fake penalty for Ronaldo and Portugal.
We have lost but just reminding everyone that there was a fake penalty in the World Cup to help Portugal and Ronaldo score.
Ghanaian musician Capasta, who featured Gasmilla on the popular song Telemo, has been appointed Head Coach of Norwegian Second Division Side, IK Junkeren. He holds a FIFA coaching license.
He has led the team to 4th place in the current league standings.
“In this life some…
Today was a test of true nationality. If you could sit comfortably in the last ten minutes, we have to question the authenticity of your Ghana card.
Absolute drama.
CAF security has called for reinforcement. The media just want to meet the team.
We are not leaving until they come.
We won’t tolerate this level of embarrassment and wastage again.
If powers won’t do, we will let them know how it feels to play for this team.
If you hear…
Lautaro Martinez repeating exactly what his uncle Higuain did in 2014.
These guys play around Messi and they keep squandering chances placed on a silver platter, easier to score.
In the end, it Messi who has to suffer.
Former Board Chairman of the National Sports Authority, Kwadwo Baah Agyeman has revealed that Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi was assisted to complete processes to acquire his Ghanaian passport during his last visit to the country.
Man of the match awards in the World Cup of all competition just reduced to a presentation of gifts to popular names.
Politics ruining this game of its beauty in the name of commercialization.
Kudos to Kevin De Bruyne for being honest and exposing the fake organizers.
On 6 February, 1969, Pele visited Ghana, as part of Santos FC tour of Africa. They played Accra Hearts of Oak to a 2-2 drawn game at the Accra stadium.
He took this picture with the man known then as Ghana’s own Pele, Amusa Gbadamoshie.
Carlo Ancelloti will wrap it up and still look like he knows nothing about coaching. No tactics talk in the media. No dramatic interviews. No animated gestures.
Just chewing gum and cigar.

The last time Mohammed Kudus visited Anfield, he left the pitch after just six minutes when all eyes were on him to explode in that game.
Tonight, he has come again and the world will know.
We finally found this pretty queen. 8-year-old
