Twenty years ago, Alou Cisse played himself into the bad books of many Senegalese football fans, when he lost his penalty kick to hand the Indomitable Lions of Cameroun the Africa Cup of Nations title. The match ended 3-2 in favour of the Camerounians in the shootout after a goalless draw in 90 minutes and extra time. As customary with defeats, Aliou Cisse, who was the team captain at that time, wept openly at Stade du 26 Mars in Bamako, Mali. He ‘had murdered sleep,’ and was restless throughout the night, while the Camerounians celebrated. That tournament in Mali marked the best ever result in Senegalese football history until they finished as runners-up once again three years ago in Egypt, where the Teranga Lions lost 0-1 to Algeria. However, many Senegalese fans saw Cisse as the man who stopped them from sipping from the golden cup. From sadness to joy, Cisse was all smiles on Sunday night at the Olembe Stadium in Yaounde, Cameroun, as he ran around the arena, waving to the crowd with his Senegalese flag flying high.

Just how real is the threat of war in Ukraine? For residents along the border between Ukraine and Russia, the answer is very realistic: 120,000 Russian troops are there, with more in Belarus too. US Defence Spokesman John Kirby warned earlier that the United States is increasing troop numbers in eastern Europe, ready to respond.
