South Africa beat Lesotho 2-0 in the World Cup qualifiers. Mokoena was said to be ineligible to play that game because he had accumulated cards. Ref did his job, SA won by 2-0 but FIFA ruled against SA and overturned the score. Called it a forfeiture and SA lost 3-0, lost three points and Lesotho gained what SA lost. FIFA didn't say because the match commissioner and ref allowed Mokoena to play the result of the game was final. So to suggest that because the ref allowed final to continue, Morocco couldn't have appealed and won is SOMEWAY.

An amazing discovery in Kyrgyzstan. I found out a Ghanaian by name Joel Kojo is the star striker in the Kyrgyz national team. This came to light during our bilateral meetings when the Kyrgyz President and Foreign Minister both disclosed that Joel was their favorite footballer and a national hero. Joel Kojo was apparently encouraged to switch nationality to play for the Kyrgyz national team known as the White Falcons. Joel Kojo received an award as the best Kyrgyz player in 2025 and is also the nation’s all time best scorer. He was exceptionally instrumental in qualifying them for the Asian Cup. Another much talked about Ghanaian, Emmanuel Yaghr plays in the Kyrgyz local league. Following the pleasant revelations during our bilateral meetings yesterday, I requested to meet the two celebrated players today, and it was beautifully arranged. I am grateful to the Kyrgyz Football Association for the efficient facilitation, warm reception and the customized Kyrgyz national team jersey. And guess what: Joel Kojo surprised me by disclosing that he is originally a constituent from Juapong in my beloved North Tongu. Small world indeed! Both countries have agreed to pursue bilateral cooperation in football development. Proud of these young Ghanaians and the growing Ghanaian community in Kyrgyzstan.
