Aliou Cisse claims an African country CAN win the World Cup and insists Senegal have 'big ambitions'
Senegal manager Aliou Cisse has insisted that this could be the year that an African nation lifts the World Cup for the first time. Cisse's side recovered from an opening game defeat by Holland to defeat hosts Qatar 3-1 on Friday. The subsequent draw between Holland and Ecuador means the hapless hosts are no longer able to progress to the knockout stages of the competition. 'Yes, an African country can win the World Cup, and I hope that it will be Senegal,' the 46-year-old told reporters after the win. Ghana are the most recent African team to reach the milestone, and arguably came the closest to progressing when they faced Uruguay in the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Megan Keith keen to continue stellar start as a professional
The attraction of cross-country is, says Megan Keith, getting the opportunity to “take chunks out of each other and see who can suffer the most”. Getting her hands on a first Scottish senior title was, she admits, a significant achievement but it was little more than she expected of herself, such are the standards she now sets. “In cross-country, everyone has different strengths so it’s often so hard to know how the races are going to go. The step up has, encouragingly, not been quite as much of a shock to the system as she initially feared. “But I’m happy with how I’m feeling and I think I am in good shape for the long races as well so I’m feeling pretty confident.”

Edwin Poots defends attempt to change Northern Ireland Protocol bill
Former Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Edwin Poots has defended an apparent attempt to change the Northern Ireland Protocol bill. Northern Ireland’s executive and assembly has been blocked from forming by the DUP in protest against the protocol, though Mr Poots has said he supports the bill. He argued that “in so far as agriculture is concerned, the state aid arrangements… of the protocol, provide significant policy flexibility for Northern Ireland”. “The Northern Ireland Protocol Bill is proposing to disapply the approach to subsidy control that we currently have (which works) and extending the (UK’s Subsidy Control Act) (which doesn’t work) to Northern Ireland. Earlier this week, Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris introduced legislation to push back the deadline by which a Northern Ireland Executive must be formed and to cut MLAs’ pay.

England light up Wembley in rainbow colours amid row over OneLove armbands
England have lit up the Wembley arch in rainbow colours after the FA were warned Harry Kane would face serious punishment for wearing a OneLove armand at the Qatar World Cup. Plenty of fans called for England to face whatever punishment came their way and make a stand rather than offering hollow gestures and backing down. Harry Kane had planned to take part in the protest as England captain, but backed down as he could have been stopped from playing and face an 'unlimited' punishment. The striker was seen wearing a rainbow Rolex ahead of Friday's clash against the USA, which may have been intended as a protest. For some fans, the protest at Wembley was a weak gesture from the FA after their change of stance on the armbands.

'A win isn't just important for the tour but for momentum going forward': Bok skipper Siya Kolisi.
“A win isn't just important for the tour but for momentum going forward,” acknowledged captain Siya Kolisi. The Boks will have no cause to arrive back home chests out, let alone go into World Cup year cock-a-hoop. The Boks however, have in recent weeks shown not just the pluck but the proficiency to raise their game in attack. The Boks revelled with the leash off in the second half against Italy but that was only after their pack had crushed the opposition. They won't have that luxury against England, though they may fancy getting traction against the Red Rose army in the scrums.

Stanwood voters embrace sales tax to pay for street work
Nearly two-thirds of voters backed a measure to keep the two-tenths of a percent sales tax for maintaining streets, sidewalks and more. STANWOOD — Voters had a chance this month to reduce Stanwood’s sales tax a tiny bit. With nearly every ballot in the Nov. 8 election counted, a measure to renew a 0.2% transportation sales tax is passing with 65.2%. Now, this sliver of retail sales tax that adds 20 cents to every $100 of spending will be in effect for another decade. The vote “validated what our citizens had told us, i.e they value good streets and sidewalks,” Roberts said.
