Singer Ed Sheeran apologizes to fans in emotional speech at Philly concert

Ed Sheeran has publicly addressed the controversy surrounding Macklemore’s removal from his US tour, apologising to fans and speaking about the Israel-Gaza conflict during an emotional appearance in Philadelphia.

Osimhen set to miss Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau AFCON qualifier games

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has been ruled out of Nigeria’s upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau due to injury. Osimhen sustained a muscle strain during Galatasaray’s 3-2 away victory over Istanbul Başakşehir on September 4 and has not featured for the Turkish club since then.

The former Napoli striker will therefore miss Nigeria’s opening qualifier against Madagascar at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium...

Why Arsenal lost 3-0 to Brighton – Arteta

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has cited “technical errors” his team made as the reason they lost 3-0 to Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.

What the team has done since the World Cup has been remarkable. But today there is a lot to learn. “Credit to Brighton for what they have done. I think we were very far from our level. The int...
