Afghanistan’s poor judgement has been in the spotlight during its one-off Test against India in New Chandigarh over the first two days of the contest.On the opening day, KL Rahul, who went on to score a century, was let off on 16 when the visitors didn’t take a review for a caught behind in the 11th over of the match, bowled by Ziaur Rahman.The replay confirmed Rahul had edge the ball, but the Afghanistan wicketkeeper, Afsar Zazai, wasn’t convinced enough, leading to skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi opting not to take the DRS.On the second day, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant were…
It was the sort of friendly that could easily have slipped from memory.Played early in the season against Kazakhstan, who had only recently joined Uefa, the fixture took place in front of a sold-out crowd of just 8,000 fans and on a pitch so shabby that the grass had to be painted to improve its appearance.And yet, that narrow 1-0 win in Chaves in northern Portugal has never really faded away.That is because 20 August 2003 is the day Cristiano Ronaldo’s story with the senior Portugal national team began.It would have been a stretch at the time to anticipate the…
Portugal boss Roberto Martinez believes their friendly against Chile was “a good match” to prepare for their World Cup opener.

Nevertheless, Portugal came out on top when it was 10 against 10; Martinez’s side are now unbeaten in all three…

The mismatch ended with Atang dispatching of the 40-year-old Shaili at 2:30 of the opener. France’s Shaili looked petrified of the hard-hitting Atang from the start, twitching whenever Atang threatened to let his hands go. Shaili kept his hands high in an attempt to protect himself whenever Atang did let those hands go, but had little success. The fleshy Frenchman was nothing but a punchbag to the 19-year-old Atang and he dealt with him accordingly. Atang smashed Shaili from pillar…
