The AFCON starts on Sunday and every game is on one of Channel 4's various channels.
It's also the first AFCON where every team is based in a 5 star hotel, apparently. That's nice.

Senegal started their game against Botswana with a midfield of Gueye and Gueye.
They then subbed off Ndiaye and brought Ndiaye on a little later.
Sarr was left on the bench but Sarr came on and got an assist.
Mendy kept a clean sheet in goal, but Mendy was an unused substitute.
They also left Ndiaye, Ndiaye, Mendy and Gueye out of their squad for the tournament.

Having watched a few ACoN matches, I can confidently say that the CAF refs could take charge of Premier League matches and nobody would notice the difference
Ayoub El Kaabi with his 2nd bicycle kick goal of the tournament:
Looked offside, but I think Zambia's rightmost player is keeping him on.

...and Yves Bissouma was sent off in first half stoppage time for a second yellow in Mali's quarter final loss to Senegal
So he can come back soon to be sat in the literal and proverbial cold

A group of MPs have asked FIFA to expel the USA from the World Cup.
That's the World Cup that they're co-hosting.
Yeah, pretty sure that's not going to happen.
How do we get rid of Infantino, though?
The ****'s worse than Blatter and is only accelerating football's enshittification.

Senegal are the first team through to the 2026 AFCON final. No minutes for Sarr, again.
Morocco face Nigeria in the 2nd semi-final in about half an hour.
Edit: Morocco join Senegal after beating Nigeria on penalties. A couple of big saves by Bono.

As if there weren't enough reasons to give this year's World Cup a wide berth already, FIFA are allowing cut-away ads during hydration breaks
Breaching tournament regulations can see teams forfeit trophies, can they?
Well, about the 2016-17 Premier League trophy...

Awarded a 3-0 win??? A bit random?
Although I suppose they'll able to reduce the penalty in appeal to 1-0 and still achieve the aim?
Tuchel will be going off last England camp. Spence has done alright for England so lot surprised he’s still in the squad.
Apparently Solanke missed training with an hip issue. The guy is a right sicknote
Solanke rarely got injured before joining Spurs though. Don’t know what’s happened to him.
Another bloody international break interrupting the season at a crucial time 
I suppose when your team is really up against it, you can’t knock the chance to go three weeks unbeaten and concede no goals

As he seems to keep getting foot injuries, there is the sneaking suspicion we're running him too hard the moment he's available
