Argentina are throwing everything at the defence of their World Cup title – and they have needed to. After being expected to steamroller past Cape Verde and Egypt in the first two knockout rounds, La Albiceleste had to fight tooth and nail for 3-2 victories. But the win over Egypt came with an edge as the African nation asked Fifa to kick the officials in charge of their last-16 defeat out of the tournament. Egypt have alleged bias in favour of Argentina and favouritism towards their star player, Lionel Messi. After the game, coach Hossam Hassan said Egypt had been…

In the realm of Ghanaian politics, where rhetoric rarely matches action, and the tides of public perception often shift unpredictably, standing out as a beacon of commitment to the tenets of honesty is a true testament to exceptional leadership. Staying true to one’s campaign promise and making deliberate efforts to deliver as a Member of Parliament in Ghana are often exceptions rather than the norm. Dr. Gideon Boako, a new entrant into Ghana’s House of Parliament, has already distinguished himself as a remarkable legislator. With his sense of reason, contributions to debates in the house, and the dexterity of his…

As a Public Relations Practitioner with over a decade’s experience in the corporate world, I have come to know that poor information flow between the top hierarchies of organisations and those on the factory floor is a top ‘killer disease’ of staff morale and so I always advocate for the internal stakeholders who are staff, to be engaged before outsiders are brought on board. Imagine consistently seeing news headlines about happenings within your institution without your prior notice or being praised by an outsider for some achievement chalked or a deal entered into by your organization without you being aware…

At night when the floods came, they swallowed homes, swept away memories, and left behind nothing but silence and mud where laughter once lived. But into that silence, hope arrived over the weekend, riding on the back of trucks laden with rice, tomatoes, milk, and cloth, and driven by the conviction of one man who believes that wealth without compassion is nothing but noise. Behind them was businessman and philanthropist Alhaji Seidu Agongo, who once again proved that true riches are not counted in cedis, but in lives touched and burdens lifted. After the June floodwaters ravaged most parts of…

According to MyNewsGH, on the night of June 29, 2026, roughly 140 millimetres of rain fell on the city in a single day, destroying lives and property. The media outlet attributes this destruction to human activities. Our society’s shift from natural, sustainable habits to nurtured, unsustainable ones, such as the extreme use of plastics and the disregard for environmental regulations, has disrupted nature’s order. This shift…

The former Liverpool boss met senior German football association (DFB) officials in New York on Friday. While the DFB said more talks were planned next week and an agreement with Red Bull, where Klopp has been head of global football since January 2025, is still to be reached, it is now just a matter of time before Klopp replaces Julian Nagelsmann, who resigned following the team’s early World Cup exit. “DFB president Bernd Neuendorf and DFB vice-president Hans-Joachim Watzke held their…
