🚨 Delighted to have had my first live FIFA World Cup pitchside experience when Morocco beat Scotland. 🇲🇦 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Let me share how that thrilling career highlight unfolded in Boston. It was a good, good day for the grind. 🔋 @SportyTV

Two years ago, today. When Brazilian channel TV Globo caught this live: a young Fluminense fan's sashaying emotions - from despair to dizzy, delirious tears - as the 99th minute winning goal went in. ❤️

Pep Guardiola, what have you done?

Whatever Japanese culture imbues into their children to make them generally so well-behaved! ❤️

Michelle Agyemang just gave us a new GIF for the meme-dom. Love eet. nitter.app/ObodaiAFCtweets/status…

Eto'o ❤️ Ronaldinho

Together, again. 🕊

The goal: 🇲🇦 Morocco's coach took a gamble and used 1 of 2 available VAR requests to ask for a penalty. He did not get it, but ref gave a freekick instead. Then Zabiri stepped up and did this for 1-0.

🚨 🇬🇭 David Oduro will train with the Barcelona first team today following his decent performances for the B side.

Today, I finally asked Gianni Infantino 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 question. Will it now be Fifa policy that any country that invades another will be suspended, as has happened to Russia? His answer was, well... you decide. #JoySports

Champ, you dey try. Please release the ball faster OK?

🇬🇭 David Oduro departs to Barcelona tonight after completing his documentation in Ghana for his residency and work permit.

Quite enjoyed that. 💪🏿

Neymar 🇧🇷 vs 🇬🇭 Kudus: who was better?

With the departure of Pierre Aubameyang, the highest earner at Arsenal is now Thomas Partey 🇬🇭 at £200K a week.

Chelsea fans celebrating Cole Palmer's first goal at the replay viewing as if it were live. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Gonna be a long night for us haters.

Emerse Faé becomes the first Ivorian coach to qualify 🇨🇮 Côte d'Ivoire to a World Cup. ⚽️ Scored: 25 ❌️ Conceded: 0 Incroyable! 🔥

Iñaki Williams has every right to feel aggrieved about what seems to be a pattern of repeated snubs when he makes great runs in the Ghana team. So unfair.

Morgan Freeman understood the assignment.

Driving from Winneba to Accra in an hour (!!) to protect wifey. Energy!

Sure I'm not the first person to ask but is ESPN like an extension of Messi's PR firm or something?

Patrick Vieira 🤝🏾

🗣 Jordan Ayew after hattrick vs 🇨🇫 CAR: "I've been playing out of position for quite some time in the national team and also at the club level. But I have always done my duty, put my country first, and never complained because I always give my all." “It's difficult. It's not something that I like to talk about, but obviously my favorite position right from the academy, France, in the national team has always been as a number 9. "But I understand because I have qualities that allow me to play in the pockets of spaces, and I don't complain."

And now we can work. #BallondOr

Galatasaray are showing football clubs now to celebrate a player who means that much to you. A drone show in honour of Victor Osimhen tonight.

Just in: Sadio Mané 🇸🇳 will be crowned Men's African Player of the Year 2022 tonight in Morocco. Got the highest number of votes ahead of Mo Salah 🇪🇬 and Edouard Mendy 🇸🇳 #JoySports #CAFAwards2022

Sadio Mane: “The AFCON is the best trophy I would ever win in my life.” #AFCONwithGary

What a photo for 🇬🇭 Mo Salisu's grandkids to brag about.

Senegal currently has the best unbeaten run in the world: 1. 🇸🇳 Senegal: 24 matches 2. 🇪🇦 Spain: 22 matches 3. 🇿🇦 South Africa: 22 matches 4. 🇲🇦 Morocco: 16 matches 5. 🇰🇷 South Korea: 15 matches

Before today, the last hattrick for the 🇬🇭 @GhanaBlackstars came from Thomas Partey in a 1-5 away win vs 🇨🇬 Congo, WCQ, 2017.

There will be signs.

I have so much I want to say, but professional restraint is holding my tongue. The anger I feel toward you, President @NAkufoAddo, is so deep. You are the man Proverbs 29:2 described. And if there is a God, may He deal with you accordingly. Selah. #GhanaDecides2024

BREAKING: 🇲🇦 Morocco beat 🇫🇷 France 5-4 on penalties (1-1 aet) to qualify for the U20 World Cup final, becoming only the third African country to do so — after 🇬🇭 Ghana and Nigeria.

Can we talk about Jack Grealish or it's too early?

🌎 Apologies to my non-Ghanaian followers for lack of context on last few tweets. An explainer: 🇬🇭 The #OccupyJulorBiHouse hashtag is a play on Occupy and Jubilee House (Ghana's seat of government). 𝙅𝙪𝙡𝙤𝙧 𝘽𝙞 is a Ga (language of the people of Accra, Ghana's capital) phrase meaning 'Child of a Thief', a loose reference to the ruling Executive, who the people believe have negligently driven the country into a mess. 📅 Today, Sept 21, is a public holiday in honour of Ghana's founder, Kwame Nkrumah and had been penned down by a civil rights group called Democracy Hub to protest high cost of living, rampant abuse of power, state capture, throttling press freedom and callous governance. 👮🏽‍♂️ Consistently, state Police have used the law to block the demonstration from happening. Yesterday (Wednesday) Police issued a statement claiming they had a court order to injunct the demonstration -- but they could not produce any such document. The statement also warned citizens not to turn up for the demonstration, as a result. This, also, was an illegal action. Nonetheless, protestors have showed up this morning near the seat of government; the police have arrested more than 50 protestors. 🔈I am aware many of you follow me for specific (sporting) content, but I will be unable to provide such content if I am not comfortable, and cannot live a dignified life in Ghana, where I am based. 💡 Today's event is important in the context of recent uprisings in the West African and Sahelian region, for in every one of those cases, the tipping point was a result of consistent government/state attempts to play dumb to the cries of its people. A cursory reading of Ghana’s recent path suggests we are probably far from such headlines, but are systemically ticking the troublesome boxes that will get us there. ⚠️ Ghana is neighbours or, at most, a few doors away from every one of these boiling points. We are not immune to the factors that led them where they are. We cannot allow Ghana to get to that point. And that is why we speak -- not disrupt the peace of fellow citizens, but to ensure the peace,, stability we enjoy is guaranteed for the next generation. 📸 @worldatlas

🇬🇭 Mohammed Kudus in 2026 World Cup qualifiers: ⚽️ 2 Goals 🅰️ 2 Assists Has 13 Ghana goals overall.

Villarreal prez Fernando Roig: “We must be cautious and wait for justice. Let’s not judge prematurely. Thomas has the right to do his job until there is a conviction. At this moment, Partey is as innocent as the rest of us here. A fundamental right like this must be respected."

And that's that for that. #BallonDor

Brest won 5-4 today. The winning goal was scored by Brassier.

Per @TheSunFootball, ex-Ghana capt Asamoah Gyan has been working closely with Antoine Semenyo these past six months, reviewing his game footage and offering tactical advice. The pair have been meeting in person when Semenyo joins 🇬🇭 for international duty.

Trending number one worldwide. Egypt is not amused, clearly.

Another win for 🇬🇭 @uds_official at the Games.

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: 🇬🇭 Ghanaian duo of David Oduro and Abdul Aziz Issah are training with the Barcelona first team, with Hansi Flick watching. The two recently joined @FCBarcelonaB.

Love that Kylian is disrespecting RM so publicly. Hopefully it teaches them to treat their legends and long-serving players well.

Diogo Jota died. Dignified coverage. Respectful distance from the gory scenes. And then there's us. Live coverage of remains, live coverage of cocoa sacks being used to convey them, zero dignity in their final moments. We, the GH media, we all must do better.

Confirmed: Joseph Paintsil was NOT injured. We will hear the rest of the story about how he was substituted soon. Good night, everyone.

Turns out @Stonebwoy was told to do the 'Overlord' refix for the @KudusMohammedGH unveiling by Spurs at very short notice — in order to surprise Kudus. Full behind-the-scenes of how it happened via @SpursOfficial. (Subtitles here by me) piped.video/vAX8MRRyjaU?feature…

The same God who gave Team Ghana wisdom to use a plane with its own staircase is the same God who will cause confusion among the Super Eagles tomorrow o. Hiann! #JollofDerby

Between 2014 and ~2018, when Shatta Wale was at his musical peak, there were mutiple WhatsApp groups called 'Corporate SM' made up of professionals who could/did not want to publicly ID with SM, for various reasons. The credentials of these people were impressive. Top peeps.

Good morning. The news at 0800 GMT. This is the Koforidua Water Works, around where the River Densu enters the Weija Dam, which feeds potable water to most in the western parts of Accra. #StopGalamseyNow

Are you watching Afriyie Barnieh? Are you watching?

I cannot believe 🇲🇱 Mali coach Tom Saintfiet actually said this on air: "[Ghana coach] Otto Addo has a contract till 2027. My contract ends in Aug 2026... As soon as I'm free and contract with Mali has expired, I'll be interested. For now, I'm focused on Mali."

Asiedu Nketiah is calling on electorate to "rise and protect the ballot." We would like his family members and children to begin rising, please. We want to see something. #ElectionHQ

The roar of the crowd, the love from his teammates, and the outpouring Iñaki Williams got from Kumasi after his first goal in Ghana colours will stay with him forever. Goosebumps. 🇬🇭 ❤️

Some of the players who are said to be injured - and so couldn't make the Ghana squad - are even surprised that they are injured because they themselves don't know they are injured.

The Women’s Africa Cup of Nations has a new trophy. You like it?

Earlier this year, we spoke about 🇬🇭 David Oduro leaving Ghana to Spain for trials. This is who Barcelona is getting.

🚨 Callum Hudson-Odoi left Ghana last night to the USA to holiday. This is after he spent a few days in the country doing charity work and seeing family. He will be in the US for, at least, the next week before pre-season begins.

Did you know... That the 🇬🇭 Ghana team that just won GOLD against Nigeria and has made us all happy ARE OWED BONUSES GOING BACK TO WORLD CUP QUALIFERS and even per diems for these same Games? Did you know? RT to put pressure on government to #PayTheGoldenGirls

🇸🇳 El Hadj Diouf plays a very unique role in Senegal's national team setup: with no official title, one of things he does so well is to absorb pressure so that the players can focus. Here he is, "engaging" hostile DRC fans in Kinshasa. Senegal won 3-2.

🇬🇭 Cadman Yamoah Evans did the SIUUUU after clearing 2.23m to win men's high jump gold. The noise from the crowd shook the University of Ghana Stadium. 🔥 #AfricanGames #Accra2023

🚨Arsène Wenger speaks. After wacthing last week's AFCON final live, believes outstanding pitch quality, better organisation, better prep of smaller teams contributed to best AFCON ever. Says Fifa will establish 75 football academies worldwide, including in CIV, Cameroon, Zambia, Ghana by 2026.

Nobody asked you to come and talk. And you just come and shii toli, unprovoked.

🚨 Kudus Mohammed will captain Ghana against Sudan tomorrow, per coach Otto Addo. 🇬🇭 🇸🇩

Friday wey e san be pay day? Okaaaaayyyy!

Nigeria should be out of sight. Best football we've seen this AFCON.

Update: Ghana 🇬🇭 Chris Hughton will be named as coach of the Black Stars following a final meeting between the Sports Ministry and the GFA in the last hour. Both parties reach compromise and the former Brighton & Hove will begin work soon. #AFCONwithGary

Kudus takes corner, ball ping-pongs, gets back to him, he assists Vuskovic to score. First outing for the Ghanaian at Spurs.

These Abugiss twins, Judith and Juliet, have been a joy to watch. 💛💚 #NSMQ2025

Captain material, 1000 yards. Big performance. 👏🏿

Mo Salah. Exactly the kind of person I dig. Achiever and rebel. Does things his way. Solid guy.

🚨 This is not a criticism, merely an appendage of my tweet, from yesterday, about 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞 journalists and media; and how they behave in the face of headline national issues. 🇬🇭 50 years from now, a young person may enter Ghana's news archives and look for front pages of 22nd September, 2023. 📰 This is what they'll see: that the nation's FOUR biggest selling and most widely distributed newspapers did not see it fit to give the most topical story banner headline coverage. Anytime I research historical events for articles, I deal with this question constantly: was the news coverage of the papers I am reading a true reflection of how serious the issues were, back then -- or were they affected by framing? If you are alive by 2083, don't forget what the biggest story in Ghana was on 22/09/2023. ❌️ It was not about President @NAkufoAddo speaking at the UN about reparations. It was not about a beef between Kennedy Agyapong and @MBawumia. It was not about Graphic digitalising its archives. It was about #OccupyJulorBiHouse. 🇬🇭
