Ghana will be ea­ger to put their best foot for­ward to stop Ronal­do’s Por­tu­gal from win­ning a third tro­phy in six years.

The bril­liant con­sis­ten­cy of star full­back Achraf Haki­mi may be cru­cial to Mo­roc­co’s chances at the World Cup this time.

De­spite a tough group which in­cludes favourites Brazil, for­mer play­er Eto’o has backed Cameroon to win the World Cup.

In Ruto’s first pres­i­den­tial bid, his­to­ry and hus­tle helped him out­wit the sit­ting pres­i­dent and a po­lit­i­cal vet­er­an.

The elec­tion mon­i­tor­ing group said its in­de­pen­dent pro­jec­tions cor­rob­o­rate of­fi­cial re­sults of Kenyan pres­i­den­tial poll.

Le­gal bat­tles and po­lit­i­cal in­trigue are ex­pect­ed in the com­ing days, now that William Ruto has won the Kenyan elec­tion.

There was dra­ma and dis­agree­ment in parts of the cap­i­tal af­ter Deputy Pres­i­dent Ruto was de­clared pres­i­dent-elect.

The rise in fe­male gov­er­nors from Tues­day’s vote is a small but sig­nif­i­cant im­prove­ment over 2017.
